Tulis McCall was our marriage officiant in NYC just a month ago. Looking back, we couldn’t have made a better choice for our wedding. Although we approached her very last minute, T...
ulis was outright accommodating and extremely professional, offering good advice and directions regarding the paperwork as well. What matters most though, is that Tulis was very considerate and respectful. She really listened at how we envisioned our wedding and tailored our ceremony accordingly, so it became very personal to us and our story as a couple. Her words were absolutely touching and meaningful, but also embellished with an incredible sense of humor, overall turning our wedding into a uniquely sentimental and fun experience. It was clear that she was genuinely happy for us, enjoyed the moment as much as we did, and truly became part of it. All our friends and family were in tears (happy ones of course!) throughout. We would definitely recommend Tulis to anyone and are so thankful for her being part of our special day.
Tulis is amazing. She made our wedding day extra special with the personal touch she put on our ceremony. We still get compliments from friends and family about the ceremony and ho...

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Tulis was warm, caring, helpful, charming, and accommodating. We highly recommend her.
It is our fortune to meet Tulis McCall. We hosted a lovely small wedding in Central Park in this pandemic hard time. During the preparation, her responses were quick and she was wi...
lling to accommodate any vision we had. And she wrote a touching wedding script for us. We could not have asked for a better celebrant and a warmer ceremony! We are very grateful.
The first phone call ended with a crazy laugh. That was a good sign. Tulis is wonderful. She was available and responsive to our special requests while remaining discrete. The cere...
mony itself was nothing short of perfect. She wrote a witty and sincere text that made the moment truly special. It was honestly a pleasant surprise and we are both grateful and lucky to have found her. Do not hesitate!
Tulis wrote thoughtful words that created fond memories for us. She was punctual in all of our communication and her website had a good selection of ceremonies to chose from.
Tulis mcall is an amazing person she conducted our ceremony perfectly and I would chose her over again with out a doubt I will recommend her to anyone who is getting married

Trust me when I tell you this, my guests were floored when Tulis officiated our wedding. She was very attentive and held our hands through the magical moment. Tulis understands tha...
t everyone, including our guests, should be connected through this experience. Still to this day, our guests are always in awe that Tulis was able to detail our love story in her majestic way. They just always presumed she was our long-time friend who heard our love story over the past years but that's how Tulis uses her extraordinary skills and experience to wow us. It's safe to say that although Tulis was not a long time friend before our wedding, she will be one now.
Absolutely amazing! Due to external circumstances, our wedding had to be planned on extremely short notice (3 weeks), but absolutely no problem for Tulis! Despite the time constrai...
nt, she gave us great inspiration for our celebration and created an amazing, intimate and personal ceremony for the two of us in almost no time. She was an irreplaceable guide and helper in stressful moments. But not just the two of us were thrilled, all our wedding guests, both the one's who attended in person as well as the Zoom spectators were amazed, too. Thank you Tulis!
I attended Elizabeth and Ed’s wedding as a birthday party - mine. It was 5 of our birthdays within a week and Elizabeth had the idea to throw a big party for all of us. When we sho...
wed up it turned out to be a wedding in addition. Tulis as head of ceremonies / justice of the peace broke the news to the gathering and proceeded to fill us all in on Elizabeth and Ed’s whirlwind romance and partnership. She was humorous and the ceremony and my birthday is one I will never forget.
I was so happy and surprised at my own Birthday party to learn that my daughter was going to be married as well! Tulis as master of ceremonies orchestrated the most mesmerizing wed...
ding. I learned things about my daughter I didn't even know - that tells you how in-depth and wonderful Tulis's services are. She created the best memories for me that will last the remainder of my life.
Tulis McCall creates pure magic and a ceremony everyone - even the waiters will remember.
From our first planning session, she recorded our conversation to weave it into a fairyt...
ale romance filled with laughter. Not all our guests knew how we met and why we were so important to each other and Tulis incorporated it all into our service.
She was available for several dates as we changed it. Her flexibility, creativity and humor make her irresistible. She is quite the actress professionally and her training helps in the most tense of situations.
The Impeccable Tulis was the best detail of my wedding! Miss McCall was on time, professional and uber charming. Everyone raved on how wonderful Tulis detailed our love story i...

e of our relationship.
We travelled from the UK for our wedding and Tulis went above and beyond by making herself available to us online beforehand. She gave us that local knowledge that proved essential for planning a destination wedding. We simply cannot thank her enough!
Thank you Tulis for making our wedding simple, memorable and beautiful! Your kindness and help made everything fantastic and a day we will treasure forever.

Thank you, Tulis!
Working with Tulis was a delight! Tulis was able to capture the feeling we wanted to create at our wedding -- intimate, personal, inclusive and very upbeat. We've had rave reviews ...
from our guests. The ceremony reflected our personalities individually and as a couple, and encompassed all of the elements we had imagined: warmth, love, humor and an energy that embraced all of our guests. Yay, Tulis!!
Tulis was exactly what we were looking for. She wasted no time getting straight to the heart of our relationship and pushing us to answer the big, important questions about our dec...
ision to get married. We were amazed at how familiar she felt and how quickly she got to know us as a couple. The ceremony itself struck just the tone that we were hoping for -- Tulis helped create a sense of ease and joy while still honoring the meaning and significance of the event. So many of our guests said afterward that it helped them get to know us as a couple, which meant so much to us. Tulis truly cares about the couples she works with, and that was abundantly clear throughout our collaboration.
Tulis was amazing From beginning to end we truly enjoyed her company and she made everything seamless for us! Our first interaction was like we had known each other for years. T...
ulis is very easy to talk to and she did such an amazing job on our special day! I didn't even need to worry about her being there she was dressed professional and was promptly on time which during such a chaotic day really made things easier. She even stopped in to say hi and just see how I was doing right before I walked down the aisle, not many people go out of there way, super impressive. I would highly recommend Tulis to anyone looking for ordained services. As my husband said hiring Tulis was the best decision we ever made! Love Patrick & Nicole
Tulis was great! We absolutely loved our ceremony and received many compliments from our guests.
Tulis worked with us to customize a ceremony that included several personal elemen...
ts and our own story. She worked with us through multiple iterations and responded thoughtfully to our feedback. All of this at a price that I felt was very reasonable.
We would definitely recommend Tulis!
Tulis officiated our secular NYC wedding, and she was phenomenal.
We had a Skype call 9 months before the wedding to make sure we would all get along before she agreed to work wit...
h us. We selected her White Glove Package, which meant that she worked extremely closely with us, our families, and our siblings to craft our dream ceremony. She sent questionnaires to each of us to get a sense of personalities, and to gather anecdotes and advice from our families, and she also provided many examples of ceremony timelines, layouts, example readings, and elements we could include. We were able to meet with her in person to ask questions and go over a few things. Tulis provided multiple drafts of the ceremony, and the final text about a week before the wedding, so we didn't have to worry about anything. She also offered to read the ceremony to us over Skype, though we opted to forego that part of her services.
Our 30-minute wedding ceremony was incredibly beautiful. It was personal, moving, funny, and everything we wanted. We received SO many compliments on the ceremony itself and on Tulis' warm and welcoming presentation. The best compliment we received was from a cousin who said she had not known us that well before the ceremony, but afterwards, she felt she knew us inside and out.
Thank you, Tulis, for making the most important part of our wedding so very special. We are so grateful!
Tulis McCall was absolutely perfect! She took the time to really get to know us on many levels and she created a ceremony that was so totally personal and onpoint. She completely...
"got us" as a couple. Many guests raved about the wedding afterwards and assumed that Tulis had known us for decades. I'm sure everyone feels this way after their wedding, but I must say that we felt that ours was the best wedding ever. Stop looking and book her immediately!
Tulis was the perfect Officiant for our wedding! My husbands family is Indian and mine is American so we wanted to create a ceremony that would incorporate elements from both back...
grounds. She worked with us to create a personal and unique ceremony script that really reflected us as individuals and the union we were entering into. Her approach to being your officiant is so inspiring and welcoming. We could not be happier and definitely recommend Tulis to anyone looking for a truly customized ceremony.
Tulis is a gem. The ceremony she created was heartfelt, humorous, and full of wisdom. Thank you for making our day so special, and for walking us across the bridge into our new cha...
pter!!! I'd recommend Tulis to anyone. She's magic.
There are no words. Working with Tulis was great. She got to know us and created an experience on the day of our wedding that EVERYONE was talking about. "Where did you find her?!...
", "she was amazing!", " the best ceremony I ever witnessed!" - were just some of the comments. Of all of the compliments we got at our wedding, and there were many, Tulis earned and received the most abundant and enthusiastic accolades.
Truly, a highly personalized, emotional, heartfelt interpretation of us and our relationship and our union that had everyone laughing and crying in all the best ways.
Everyone LOVED her. We LOVED her. YOU will love her.
Tulis was amazing! We could not have hoped for a better celebrant. Coming from the UK, Tulis was also a huge support and guide for our elopement.
Tulis McCall was the celebrant for our wedding in January 2016 (New York City). After meeting her, we discovered a mutual love for literature and films with her. Although this was ...
a great ice-breaker, Tulis is naturally easy to talk to and an attentive listener. Her communication and emphasis on inclusion remained excellent throughout.
Tulis made an effort to get to know us personally, as a couple and as individuals. She crafted a beautiful ceremony for us, truly in the spirit of the journey that led us to our wedding day. On the wedding day, Tulis met us at the venue (a small community theatre in Greenwich Village), met our families, and offered some additional guidance ahead of the ceremony. Her wit, wisdom and care were evident in every step of the process, and we loved the highly personal ceremony that she designed with us. Our closest loved ones, those who witnessed the ceremony, agreed. Tulis was a wonderful part of our wedding day, and we won’t hesitate to recommend her services.
Tulis truly did an amazing job with our ceremony, and I am very thankful to have found her. Here's what I think sets her apart:
1) She is a thoughtful and spiritual person. She wo...
rked with us to reflect on our relationship and distill the key aspects of it that we wanted to bring out in our ceremony to make it unique, heartfelt and special.
2) She is a talented entertainer and performer. She really drew people into the ceremony, leading us and our guests on a journey using, at the right times, both humor and solemn reflection.
3) She is intelligent, creative, and collaborative: She worked with us to create a customized ceremony that drew out the elements of our relationship that we wanted to communicate to each other and to our guests.
The wedding ceremony was really important to me personally -- much more important than the party details. My goal was to create a ceremony that honored our commitment to each other in a special way. Tulis was instrumental in this process. Our ceremony remains the most memorable part of the wedding for me. I consider Tulis to be a "high end" officiant -- she is the person you should go to if you want a tailored, heart felt, truly memorable ceremony. Looking back, it was really the best money I spent in the entire wedding process. Worth every penny!
I couldn't recommend Tulis enough. My husband and I flew over from England to get married in New York and Tulis made everything feel so easy and relaxed. From the initial Skype cal...
l right through to signing the paperwork, Tulis made us feel completely at ease. She listened to everything we had said about our wedding, our relationship and our families and incorporated even small parts to create a ceremony that was truly about us. Having left the vast majority of our friends and family at home, unawares we were to be married (just our parents and son came with us), Tulis included talk about our family, which they all loved when they were able to read the ceremony once we were home. The ceremony scripts now has pride of place in the front of all of our photo albums, and reading it fills me with such love and happiness every single time.
Wow!! Where do I even begin. Tulis has a talent like no other officiant I've ever seen. From the moment our ceremony ended guests were flocking. Of course to greet us, but the firs...
t words out of their mouth was, "That was the most beautiful ceremony I have ever seen". Even now, 20 days after our wedding, our friends and family are still talking about how wonderful Tulis is.
My husband and I are not religious and we felt very strongly about having a ceremony that was about us and our relationship and all the amazing people that are in our lives that have affected our relationship over its course. Tulis captured all of that!
After meeting Tulis one evening in Times Square I knew she would be able to carry out this wish for us. Her questions sparked thoughts and memories that were so relevant to the growth of our relationship. We immediately booked Tulis for our wedding day. This is when the magic started to happen.....
Tulis reached out to our MOH (my sister), Best Man, our parents, and some family. With all of their input and stories over the years of our relationship, Tulis crafted a ceremony that was so customized to us. There were tears of joy and so many moments laughter.
I am so happy we found Tulis. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect ceremony. She is so wonderful!!!! Thank you Tulis for all of your hard work and passion for what you do!
Tulis McCall is an exceptional officiant. She brought a beautiful and meaningful tone to our daughter's wedding ceremony. She spent a lot of time learning about my daughter and ...
her fiancee's relationship through meeting with them and asking their loved ones for information. The service was more personal than any I had ever witnessed. So many of the guests raved about Tulis after the service and we were all so pleased.
Tulis was essential in bringing all the pieces together for our ceremony. She was incredibly patient with us both and made us feel confident that our special day would be perfect,...
which it was. She went above and beyond, interviewing our loved ones and even coming to our home for a pre wedding meeting . My husband and I couldn't imagine our wedding without Tulis. Her humor, warmth and professionalism are beyond! We love Tulis!!
Matthew & Tim
Tulis was amazing and made the ceremony so personal, you'd have thought she was a life long friend, she is very friendly and personable, all our friends and family loved it and we ...
did too. We thought it might be quite difficult organising our wedding from another country but Tulis made this aspect of our wedding day run very smoothly and was happy to wait around when people were running late, we knew from the first Skype interview that she was the person we wanted to do our wedding ceremony and we are very glad that she did, it was a day we will never forget, very highly recommended.
Tulis is simply amazing.
We met with Tulis and before the meeting was over, Bernie and I exchanged glances that said "she's the one".
Tulis has a passion for love and a talen...
t for making your night the most memorable night ever. With her special techniques, answering many questions and discovering so much about oneself and your partner, Tulis then crafts that into a ceremony for all to truly feel your story. Your family and friends become a part of the transformation from being a couple into a circle of wedded bliss. She masterfully intertwines history, humor, wit & poignancy into a ceremony as if she has known you for decades.
Our family and friends were so impressed with Tulis and had never been to a more beautiful heartfelt ceremony. It was our love story but Tulis took that story that spanned over 32 years and made it so everybody was in on the journey with us.
One of the most important decisions in your life is who you marry.
Tulis will make your wedding magical.
Tulis puts HER heart into telling YOUR love story.
Picking an officiant is a huge decision. We are so glad we went with Tulis. She helped us craft a speech that perfectly conveyed our true personalities. Getting to that end goal to...
ok lots of communication, work and honesty as we exchanged drafts of the final ceremony. You need someone who can set their ego aside as you're collaborating on the final ceremony, yet step up and sell it in front of a room of people on the big day. Tulis was both. We can't recommend her enough.
My name is Cam McInnis and my husband is Ian McInnis. Our wedding was on September 5th, 2015. Tulis McCall is one brilliant, funny and awesome individual. She made our wedding day ...
a truly special occasion. She took the time to get to know us and really dive deep into our relationship. She discussed what really matters and her methods of getting to know us are unique and unlike anything I have ever experienced in a very positive and fun way. She is a very special woman and I couldn't have asked for a better officiant. Every single guest absolutely enjoyed our ceremony and couldn't stop raving about how amazing she was. She brought our relationship to life for our ceremony and we are so grateful that we found her. You will not regret choosing Tulis to be your officiant. There is no one better!!!
The wonderful Tulis Mcall carried out our wedding ceremony in May for us this year in Central Park. we are a couple from the UK so after searching many options we found Tulis. we h...
ad brilliant contact with her before the big day and she even spoke with us length on skype and took the time time getting to know us and our personalities:).The ceremony was attended by some of our precious family and we were all overwhelmed with Tulis and how she conducted it for us, making it so personal and special, far beyond our expectations. once again we would like to thank Tulis for being that beautiful special personal we chose on our unforgettable wedding day.
My husband and I didn't know that a random online search would have led us to the perfect wedding officiant. Tulis was the first person that came up in our search for NYC wedding...
officiant and we're glad that we went with our gut and chose her to officiate our wedding.
Tulis was the consumate professional from beginning to end. In our first meeting Tulis made us feel completely at ease, asking very personal questions without seeming invasive. If anything, Tulis made us feel immediately at ease. Her attentiveness, the sense of intimacy that she created and her ability to make us feel like our wedding was the important thing were qualities that she carried from beginning to end.
Tulis offered us three different pricing packages and we chose the priciest. We were not disappointed. If anything, we thought it was actually economical for all of the work she put in to our ceremonial script/vows. For the package we received -- 1) 1 hour interview, 2) two thorough questionnaires, 3) hand-picked poems that we could include in the script, 4) option of Skype/phone conversation to hear her read it.
The day of our wedding, Tulis was punctual. She greeted our guests and set the tone when the ceremony eventually started. I cried reading the script for the first time, but hearing Tulis say the words was priceless. She achieved what I think every couple wants -- she made our guests feel like they were reliving our love story with us. And that made us very happy!
Tulis promised us that our wedding would be her priority and she exceeded our expectations. The ceremony was beautiful and intimate, definitely the highlight of our small wedding! I would not think twice about hiring her again.
Our gorgeous garden ceremony included many components to make it excellent and Tulis was one of them. Our guests were impressed, engaged, and many said they had never seen a cerem...
ony like ours, so intense and personalized. Tulis is a captivating speaker. She made our ceremony unique and about us. We met in person only once, but she asked all the right questions and communicated via email to compose an excellent ceremony. She sent us the entire script via email with additional readings, to select and organize into the ceremony. We did a Skype “rehearsal” session two days before. For the moment of the ceremony, I had forgotten to print a copy of my vows! But she had them her binder. Tulis was prepared. Tulis was the most expensive officiant we met, but we connected the best with her. She understood our story and created a meaningful ceremony for us that no one else seemed capable of.
Tulis spent time getting to know us and we were amazed at how, from a short Skype chat, she really understood and incorporated everything we could have hoped and wanted into our ce...
remony. We were travelling from the UK so had to keep in touch via email. Tulis kept great communication throughout the planning and helped us with other aspects of our big day. On the day she performed a beautiful ceremony and I can honestly say that our wedding wouldn't have been the same without her writing and performing our ceremony.
Tulis gave us a one-of-a-kind, genuine, beautiful ceremony. She asked us questions by email, then interviewed us for an hour to get to know each other. She included our Witnesses...
in the ceremony and brought our unique, quirky love story to light on this day our lives became forever one. I now consider Tulis a dear friend as she gave us more than we could have ever asked for and is one of the few people in this world who knows our story. Tulis is exceptional. Her exuberance filled Central Park the moment she came to our ceremony location. She brought so much joy and love to the event, that we will never forget.
If you've found Tulis and you're considering her then trust me, look no further.
We spent an age trying to find the right celebrant that got us. We wanted a celebration of our ...
marriage and we found it with Tulis. She did her homework on us and made the day unforgettable. After the a couple of Skype calls and one meeting on the day I think it says a lot that one of our most treasured pictures from our wedding is the shot with us and Tulis.
The best bit? All day everyone kept asking us how long we had known her!
In life there are people who have a passion for what they do, and they make an impact and make a difference, and Tulis is one of those people.
Tulis helped us have exactly the wedding ceremony we wanted: personal, poignant, funny and unforgettable. She took the time to listen and really got to know us. Our guests were e...
qually in awe of her: so many people asked me during our receiving line where we had found her, and even more congratulated us for such a beautiful ceremony. She's a special lady: exactly who you want with you on such a special day.
Tulis is a wonderful interfaith officiant with a personal touch. We wanted a non-religious ceremony and Tulis composed a beautiful one for us, and helped guide us as we composed ou...
r own personalized vows. Though a bit on the pricey side, she is great and very involved, conducting a pre-interview, appearing for the rehearsal and staying in touch via email as she wrote the ceremony. Highly recommend!
