About this vendor
Hello! Welcome. My name is Franny Civitano and I am wedding officiant, day-of coordinator, and ceremony ghostwriter based in Brooklyn, NY. and works in all five boroughs and beyond.
Please note: I am not taking on any weddings more than one month in advance during 2025. As such, I am also only taking on wedding license signing (no ceremony) or elopement style ceremonies where I offer you two, pre-written ceremonies to choose from. Please reach out and I’m happy to share more!
I believe that a partnership between two people is strongest when those people count themselves as individuals—whole, complete, and flawed individuals—who make a choice every day to continue their partnership. You want to make each other better, and together you are stronger. Whether this partnership takes the form of legal marriage, life-long togetherness, or something else entirely, it requires diligence, forgiveness, and a little magic.
Your ceremony is arguably the most important part of your wedding. It will set the tone for the rest of your day, and your marriage. I want it to feel like it was written just for you, and couldn’t belong to anyone else. I have a lot of ideas and will express those in my own way on paper, but I never perform a ceremony unless I know that the couple stands behind it and feels like it is representative of you and your partnership.
Services Offered
I will work with you to make sure your wedding ceremony is exactly what you want it to be, whether that be a short and sweet elopement, or a perfectly unique ceremony that brings your story to life.
- Officiant + day-of coordinator: starting 45 days in advance, I help create a wedding timeline for you and become the point of contact for your day-of needs, including performing a custom ceremony.
- Custom ceremony: about 15 minutes in length, you and your partner answer a questionnaire so I can get to know you as individuals and how you are together in a partnership, including how you met, what kept you together, and what you're looking forward to.
- Simple ceremony: about 5 minutes in length, I have two pre-written ceremonies to choose from that are short, sweet, and perfect for elopments or those on a budget.
- I write, you perform: is your friend or family member officiating your wedding, but they aren't sure where to start, or they'd like some editing help? I also work with couples and/or family members to create a ceremony to perform on their own.
- Just the legal stuff: don't want a ceremony, you just want to be legally married? I can do that, too.

Franny was great to work with and was very open to collaborate on the ceremony to make it exactly what we wanted!
Susan was great to work with. Communications were open and easy through the Knot website. We also had a brief phone conference about what I envisioned and my budget. We had a small...
wedding and did not need too much but she never made me feel like less of a client. She sent me examples of arrangements she had done that fit the season and style we had discussed and also sent a list of flowers in season for my wedding date. I found a beautiful wild flower bouquet she had done that I loved with many different colors. I showed her a mural at the venue that I loved the colors from and asked her stay in that color family and give me something with that wild flower look. I also mentioned my loved for dahlias which she managed to squeeze into our arrangements. She really did an amazing job. She readily adapted to some last minute changes to my order and was extremely responsive the entire time. Overall, I had a great experience and would highly recommend Rosewood Productions. Check out her Instagram for some beautiful examples of her work...that was a big deciding factor for me.
My fiance and I LOVED working with Franny. Her approach was fantastic--she asked us questions about who we were as individuals and as a couple, and she allowed us to review our cer...
emony ahead of time to ensure that it was to our liking. Our friends and family raved about the ceremony, and we couldn't agree more. It was like she knew us for years, and not for a short amount of time. We're so glad we had her as our officiant!
It was a pleasure working with Franny. My fiance and I decided against a religious ceremony only two months before our wedding day and we were so grateful to find Franny, as our of...
ficiant. She was so easy to work with, making the last step in our wedding planning seamless. Franny was super nice and made us feel comfortable when telling her about our relationship in order for her to get to know us better. She wrote a beautiful ceremony that was true to our relationship and exactly what we wanted. Franny let us review what she wrote about a month before the wedding and encouraged us to be open with her about how we felt and if we wanted her to edit anything. We thought what she wrote was perfect, sentimental yet also lighthearted and funny. She also gave us tips on how we can include short speeches by our best friends in the ceremony. The end result was beautiful and our wedding ceremony could not be more perfect. My family is pretty traditional and many have never been to a wedding that was not officiated by a preist, and everyone thought that our ceremony was beautiful, unique and special. I would definitely recommend Franny to anyone looking for a wedding officiant who will make your wedding ceremony unique to your relationship.
Franny was an absolute delight to work with. We were very picky with officiants and checked out a dozen and spoke to 4 on the phone. Once we spoke with Franny, we knew she was the ...
perfect fit for us. She personalized our ceremony so beautifully and made everything so easy for us. One of our wedding guests (also named Franny) even got complimented by guests at our wedding who met her and thought she was the officiant! We could not give Franny a higher recommendation! People are still talking about our ceremony and were shocked Franny was not a personal friend.
