    A Magical Wedding Journey with Peter!

    From our initial inquiry, where Peter was recommended to us, to the magical moment we said "I do," Peter exceeded our expectations as our wedding officiant. His responsiveness and warmth in the early stages assured us that we were in good hands. Peter's familiarity with the Wythe venue added a comforting touch to our decision-making process. His comprehensive service, which included a custom ceremony, officiation, and license signing, made it an easy choice for us. The value we received was beyond compare. The planning process was a breeze, thanks to Peter's promptness and enthusiasm. Our Zoom meeting was not only productive but also enjoyable, setting a positive tone for the entire journey. Choosing Peter as our officiant after that meeting was a natural and unmistakable decision. As the wedding date approached, Peter's professionalism and creativity shone through. His first draft of the ceremony was a clear attestation to his attention to detail. His willingness to explore unique unity ceremony ideas, such as the blind contour drawing exercise, made our ceremony truly special. Peter's flexibility and enthusiasm in incorporating our personal touches showcased his commitment to making our day uniquely ours. On the wedding day, Peter's blend of humor and professionalism set the perfect tone. He skillfully shared our story and guided us through our vows with grace. His quick judgment in adjusting the ceremony layout for a scenic rooftop setting highlighted his dedication to creating a visually stunning experience by ensuring unnecessary furniture was out of the way. Peter's friendly and knowledgeable demeanor made him a pleasure to work with. He looked sharp and seamlessly blended in with our guests and the venue. Beyond his officiant role, Peter's intuitive positioning for photos, just before sunset with the Manhattan skyline as a backdrop, added an extra layer of magic to our day. In summary, Peter's commitment to creating a personalized and unforgettable wedding experience is unmatched. We highly recommend him to any couple seeking an officiant who not only meets but exceeds expectations. Thank you, Peter, for being an integral part of our magical wedding journey!

    Perfection!

    Peter was amazing throughout our whole wedding journey from 1st email and zoom call until the big day. He advised us throughout, from the perfect spot in Central Park for our ceremony, to giving us lots of options for our vows. We chose to go with Peter because of how he made us feel on our first zoom appointment and he did not disappoint. What a lovely man! He organised the flowers and photographer for us and both were perfect. He was fantastic, professional and reassuring on the big day and the ceremony was beautiful. Thank you so much, highly highly recommended, made the whole process stress free and perfect.

    Amazing Officiant - Married Us in NJ

    Peter is an amazing officiant! We’re so happy we found him. He was super helpful with planning the ceremony and writing the script months before the wedding, very open to our thoughts and ideas, and he brought us some great ideas/readings himself that we wound up using. Right before the ceremony, he spoke to us to help us relax and helped us rehearse. So many guests complimented Peter and the ceremony later on in the night. He’s a great speaker and a great person. + He helped us navigate anything we needed to do before the wedding to make it legal in New Jersey.

    PERFECT NYC wedding officiant!

    We can’t speak highly enough of the service and communication that Peter provided us for our NYC elopement from Australia. He took the time to do a Zoom call with us to get to know us and us to get to know him. We immediately connected and knew Peter was the one to announce us as husband and wife. At short notice, Peter agreed to move our ceremony date due to forecast bad weather and we can’t thank him (or recommend him) enough.

    Truly fantastic experience all-around. Thank you Peter!

    For something as big as your wedding, hiring an Officiant online can be scary. But Peter quickly put our stress at ease. Peter's quick replies via email or text are out of this world. From start to finish he answered all of our questions and took the time to really get to know us as a couple. What REALLY stood out? Transparent pricing and process. He even showed up extra early on the big day. And most importantly, our families loved him too. You can tell he deeply loves what he does. Thank you for everything, Peter—the ceremony was spectacular. Truly fantastic experience all-around. We couldn't be more thrilled!

    Fantastic experience

    The team was fantastic. We wanted a sweet, simple ceremony that was short and to the point. They delivered 100% - the ceremony remarks were poignant, meaningful and brief. The officiant didn’t carry on or drag anything out, but he also made us feel like he was truly celebrating us as a couple. He was really great and we’d recommend him a million times over!

    Professional Personal and Charasmatic

    Peter was a perfect balance of professionalism and personal touch. He also had a certain charisma that the audience was attracted to. Dana Lynn and I both provided our own stories on how we first met, and individually shared with Peter. Peter did a fantastic job of combining both of our stories, which we and the audience found entertaining.

    We spoke with many officiants before landing with Peter. And we are thrilled we made the right choice.

    Thank you!

    Peter is a joy

    Peter is a true pleasure to work with! He’s responsive, patient, and very detailed. As our wedding officiant, we love that he incorporated our ideas and we felt it right to have a vendor who is also out and proud. Furthermore, his performance during the ceremony was booming, had great energy and projection, no mic needed! We would gladly recommended him.

    A pro with heart

    Peter is the ultimate professional.

    He was incredibly responsive and delivered a ceremony that our guests raved about. He nailed every step: a great first draft (including well researched custom cultural elements), a patient and prompt collaboration, and a heartfelt and charismatic delivery.

    Having Peter made the ceremony so easy.
    His experience guided us through every step of planning and, even more importantly, ensured seamless execution the day of. Peter, and by extension the ceremony, was the one thing we didn’t need to worry about on our hectic day.

    Beyond polish, Peter has the heart you want an officiant to have. He’s genuine and kind and sweet. A wonderful person to have send us off on our journey.

    We consider ourselves very lucky to have him be such an important part of our day.

    Peter was amazing!

    Peter was amazing. He made us feel totally comfortable, was ultra responsive and did an amazing job on our wedding day. Peter was always available to answer any questions we had. He is an amazing speaker. Multiple people came up to me the day of our wedding to tell me how great of a job our officiant did. I wholeheartedly recommended him!

    Very accommodating

    Peter and the photographer Christina were both efficient and flexible with our micro wedding arrangements. Peter was accommodating with our additional requests to do a tree planting ceremony and need for flower girl petals. He was able to bring a table for the tree display and flower petals in addition to the beautiful bouquet! Everything was beautiful and it turned out to be the most perfect day.

    Couldn’t have been any better!

    Peter Boruchowitz was absolutely amazing as our wedding officiant. We originally hired Peter back in 2019, but when our wedding was postponed Peter was very helpful and understanding and gave us no trouble moving our date (twice). We met with Peter in person only once, and that was all it took to realize we wanted him to be the one to marry us. He was so friendly, accommodating and well spoken.
    We finally got married in May 2022 and couldn’t be more thrilled with how it went. Peter worked with us to ensure the ceremony was personal and reflected our values. Our guests commented about how excellent Peter was, and like we had known him our whole life.
    If you are looking for an officiant do not hesitate to hire Peter, you won’t be disappointed

    An officiant, a cut above the rest

    Enough can not be said about how much of a pleasure it was to work with Peter. Every word of praise he receives in all of his reviews are well deserved. He brought an amazing presence to our nuptials. His thoughtful approach, in allowing us to cater the vows to even asking what color our flowers were, so he could wear a tie that wouldn't clash, shows that Peter, is a true professional through and through.

    Thank you again Peter

    Peter is the BEST!

    Peter was incredibly kind and helpful while planning our wedding ceremony. My husband and I just knew we wanted to get married but weren’t sure what ceremony would be best for us. Peter helped us every step of the way and our ceremony was so personal and meaningful.

    Couldn't have asked for more!

    When we decided to find an officiant off the internet, I was a bit worried about choosing someone blindly. When I saw Peter's site and watched the videos of him, I just had a gut feeling that he was the one. When my husband and I video chatted with him, we both had the same feeling and booked him right away...and our gut was on the money! Peter was responsive, personable, and professional for every step of the process. He really listened to what we wanted our ceremony to be and how we wanted it it feel, and he made that happen. He incorporated all the particular elements and wording that we wanted and during the ceremony...it did not feel like there was a virtual stranger up there with us, it felt like there was a friend. I think anyone would be lucky to have Peter officiate their ceremony!

    Outstanding officiant for our wedding

    We have been extremely fortunate to have Peter be our officiant twice - the first time was when he was our virtual officiant for our online civil ceremony held via Zoom in October 2020, and the second time was when he traveled to Connecticut to preside over our symbolic ceremony in person in front of family and close friends in August 2021. Peter is an outstanding officiant and a wonderful person - his captivating presence, charm, humor, and quick wit allow him to fully command a room and set the stage for an incredible ceremony and memorable wedding for all. Our guests and wedding planner were so impressed by Peter’s passionate delivery of the ceremony with heartfelt, beautifully chosen words that they asked how we found Peter in the first place! We also appreciated how Peter kept things lighthearted and fun when the wind blew out the unity candle during our outdoor, waterfront ceremony by saying “Don’t worry - I can promise you this isn’t a sign of things to come!”. It is also important to note how responsive Peter is via email. He is detailed, efficient, and knowledgeable in each interaction throughout the ceremony-planning process. Being able to tap his expertise during a time of ever-changing marriage license procedures during the pandemic has also been incredibly helpful. Peter provided excellent recommendations for how to best structure our ceremony and patiently worked with us through multiple revisions of the ceremony draft. We could not have selected a more amazing, talented, and personable officiant for our special day and are recommending Peter to our family and friends for their future weddings!

    Wedding Officiant

    From the moment we had a Zoom meeting with him, we just knew that Peter was the right person to officiate our wedding. His warmth, charm and impeccable public speaking skills set him apart from the other officiants we were considering. We felt heard and respected by Peter and he took the time to re-work our ceremony draft until it included exactly what we wanted. On the day of our wedding, he was prompt, arriving earlier than expected so we had plenty of time to ask questions and sign our marriage license without rushing.
    The ceremony exceeded our expectations, clearly Peter has a gift. Everyone was blown away by his warm yet commanding presence. He just has a way of putting everyone at ease and speaking so eloquently. Our close family was convinced we had known him for years! We truthfully cannot recommend him highly enough; he is a spectacular wedding officiant.

    During a pandemic when everything is all over the place one thing that was for sure was my boyfriend and I really wanted to get married. So grateful after searching on google i stumbled across Peters site. He really made our virtual zoom wedding so special, fun and personal. Once this pandemic is over we plan on having a nice ceremony for our friends and family and would be honored to meet Peter and have him do it all over again! Thanks Peter

    Warm-Hearted Professionalism

    My husband and I were just married last weekend and Peter did an amazing job as the officiant. The words he spoke made our wedding so personal, and he was very gracious when we had to move our wedding date during the pandemic. He arrived exactly when he said he would, and he was extremely prepared for the ceremony. He has a strong presentor's voice that can work with or without an audio system, and he was so professional and warm-hearted on the day of the event and in all our communications. You can always count on Peter! Thank you so much for making our wedding the dream that it was!
