Anna made our special day so much more special! Guests still ask me about our officiant and share how her beautiful words of love moved them. My husband and I knew Anna before the ceremony, and I am so glad that she was able to come to NYC because her presence and guidance made our ceremony! We worked through the language and traditions together ahead of time, but she still managed to surprise us with her heartfelt words about each of us and our relationship. I cannot recommend Anna enough to officiate any kind of wedding. She is communicative, kind, and guided us through the process so that we felt comfortable and prepared. Thank you so much for giving us the most spectacular wedding ever!!!

Anna was the perfect officiant for us! We dreamed of a guest free, intimate, elopement surrounded by nature and that is exactly what we got. From the first moment we met her, Anna shared in our excited. She helped us piece together a ceremony that was ideal for us and that included an exchange of rings and a hand fasting. She was professional, a clear communicator, and a genuine soul. Our day was magic and I'm so glad we chose her to be part of it.

We found Anna months ago and throughout the months she was communicative and even met with us ahead of time to plan out our ceremony. She did such an amazing job curating the most perfect ceremony for us and even included personal touches from us and our family. She traveled up to Acadia National Park for our elopement and it was just simply beautiful. Highly recommend a million times over!

Anna was the best officiant we could’ve asked for. She was professional and kind, she listened to our wants and needs and pulled through for every one of them. Our ceremony was so beautiful and we got so many compliments about her from our guests.

I don’t even know where to begin, but if you are looking for officiant stop now - because you’ve found her. Anna’s communication, attention to detail, and true caring energy are just unmatched. Every single one of our guests raved about her and what she brought to our wedding day. We were traveling in but she took the time to fine-tune every detail with us over zoom, and was quick to respond with any other changes we had. She also made sure all of our paperwork was filed timely and correctly (she even called the Town Hall to confirm), and we received our license perfectly and promptly. Anna - we couldn’t imagine our big day with anyone else! Thank you endlessly!!

We are so grateful to have found Anna. She went above and beyond to ensure that our energies, our wishes and our spirits were conveyed through our vow renewal ceremony. She was incredibly accommodating to our schedules and generous with her time. She’s a natural performer so her voice commands a crowd and carries where you need it to. We had no less than 4 officiants witnessing our vow renewal, and each and every one of them commented on how unbelievable she was and how impressed they were by her writing. Guests complimented us the whole night on Anna’s presence! Her ability to draw out our thoughts and feelings with ease as a writer is remarkable. We can’t recommend her highly enough and will be sharing our positive experiences with her for years to come!

Anna's guidance, composure, and spirit ensured that we had a thoughtful and meaningful ceremony, one that was tailored to our dreams. Throughout the months leading up to the wedding day, Anna provided us with ample resources, including considerate questionnaires, examples of ceremonies, wedding rituals, and poetry, to help us design and craft the ceremony. She operates with a clear, professional, and loving process, was efficient and focused in our discussions and worked with us in our calls to refine our ideas and resolve the language and wording of the ceremony. Not to mention that her energy as a person really stood out, even though we were planning our wedding in Maine from Ohio, connecting with her over Zoom calls. She made the effort to make a personal connection with us, which allowed for an ease and comfort in our dialogue.
Anna truly shined during the ceremony, as her voice and composure really helped set the backdrop and endowed the words and messages in our vows with meaning. Without the skill and craft that Anna brought to the planning process, combined with poetic execution, such a wonderful moment in our lives would not have been possible.

Anna met with us via Zoom several times to really understand the vibe, substance and sentiment of our wedding day. She asked us questions about ourselves and listened very carefully to our responses, and I think she spoke beautifully about us during our ceremony. It was helpful that she had some examples and templates of ceremony details, and she was very receptive to our impressions of different elements of the ceremony.
Coordinating with her was a breeze. She was always punctual and communicative throughout the process. She was very clear about the documentation, and she got our marriage license processed promptly. I feel 100% positive about our choice with Anna to officiate our wedding; she was spectacular:)

Anna was amazing! She helped us navigate through our ceremony beautifully. She took the time to create a ceremony that was tailored to us and is excited about unique fun ideas for ceremonies. She happily waited out the rain with us and stayed longer than expected. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does and loves love. She made us feel heard, safe and comfortable on the best day of our lives! Couldn’t recommend her enough.

Anna was by far the best officiant we could have asked for. She was attentive to the finer details that we requested. She was kind and understanding. When asked about non traditional requests, Anna was accommodating and thoughtful. We could not have said “I Do” without Anna by our side. We are forever grateful for her. Five stars is not enough to show our gratitude!!

Anna Brooke, amazing wedding officiant
Anna is an amazing person who will create a magical experience for your commitment ceremony or wedding. Her background as a healer brings an attuned presence, with her love and compassion shining through every step of the way. She worked with us to design a ceremony that fit perfectly with our needs. Truly a joy to work with in planning, crafting and fulfilling our happiest day. Anna went out of her way to jump through extra hoops on the day of the ceremony, and her perseverance saved the day! It couldn't have been a more memorable experience.

We found Anna (Legs) on The Knot and it was truly fate for us. She took time to really get to know us and those close to us and worked that in to a very personal and customized ceremony. I could not have imagined anyone else marrying us at this point! She was a fabulous guide for us through the process. She has a soothing and calming presence and voice that fostered our inner creativity and reignited our passion to have a beautiful ceremony.... which was a HOME RUN! Thank you again!

I cannot say enough great things about Rev. Legs Malone!! She really came through for us when we needed an officiant last minute. My husband and I are big fans of burlesque, and although there were no sequins or feather boas, it really meant a lot to us that we were able to personalize our ceremony in such a special way! Legs was nothing but professional and generally lovely throughout the whole process. Although we booked just a couple of weeks before our wedding, she really got to know us through Skype sessions and a thoughtful questionnaire. The result was a truly personal, moving, and fun ceremony! It was like she had known us forever.. But I think what I appreciated most about Rev. Legs was the genuine warmth, and calming presence that she brought to me personally. We all know weddings are stressful, and I was so grateful for her zen energy in those moments. I am so beyond happy that Rev. Legs is forever a part of our special day! Contact her, you won’t regret it!!
