We went back and forth on whether to hire an officiant or have a family member perform our ceremony, but I must say, hiring Haley was the best decision we made for our day considering we were pretty far along in our planning process. From the beginning of meeting with her, she made the entire process seamless, individualized, and the ceremony was magical. We revised our ceremony piece a few times and Haley was nothing but gracious. She executed our ceremony beautifully. We are still daydreaming about it! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!
We cannot speak highly enough about Alex, she played a large part in making our ceremony perfect. She helped make our ceremony warm, intimate, and beautiful. We've received countless comments from our guests about how much they enjoyed it.
Honeybreak Officiants was responsive and friendly from our first contact. We were matched with Laura Goehrke to be our officiant and we knew we wanted to go with her from our first zoom call. She immediately made us feel comfortable and you can tell that she cares about and is excited about what she does. We worked with her over a few months filling out questionnaires and answering questions. She was very flexible and even sent along our ceremony transcript (per our request) to my sister as we wanted to be surprised but wanted someone we knew well to look over it first.
On the day of, Laura arrived early and ready to go - it was so nice to meet her in person! We did a walk through and signed our marriage license and it was great to have such a warm, friendly person leading us with this. The ceremony itself that Laura wrote was exactly what we wanted - it felt personal, intimate, and special. It was the perfect balance of meaningful, touching, and some light humor added. We had multiple people coming up to us after the ceremony to tell us how much they liked it. We have the PDF copy of the ceremony now and I'll cherish it forever. Laura made things so easy for us, taking home the marriage license to mail out and sending us a digital copy the next day.
I couldn't recommend Honeybreak Officiants and Laura enough - will forever be happy that we had her be a part of our special day! :)
We had the most magical experience with Laura Goehrke from Honeybreak. Our ceremony was out of a dream. EVERYONE was talking about how incredible the ceremony and Laura was. They thought she was a close friend (which she now is!) that is how intimate and familiar the ceremony was. She made the event so calm, beautiful and inclusive. We had the best experience with Laura and Honeybreak from start to finish. Thank you so much, Laura!
We recently had the pleasure of having Alex as the officiant for our wedding, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her exceptional service. From the very beginning, Alex was warm, professional, and attentive to our needs including our mix of traditional/non traditional vows. She took the time to understand what we wanted, ensuring that our ceremony was personal and reflective of our love story.
On our wedding day, Alex delivered a ceremony that was both heartfelt and beautifully articulated. Her words were filled with sincerity and warmth, making our special day even more memorable.
She handled every aspect of the ceremony with grace and ease, allowing us to focus on enjoying the moment. Alex’s professionalism and genuine kindness shone through every step of the way. Alex was there to reassure me in the lead up and provide support with the marriage license. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had her play such a role in our wedding, and we would highly recommend her to any couple looking for an officiant who truly cares about making their day extraordinary.
Thank you, Alex, for making our wedding day unforgettable!
Cassie and Jake
We highly reccommend Alex!!! She was extremely professional and helpful in suggesting options for us and making us feel at ease in the whole process.

Our experience with Haley couldn’t have been better. It was important to us for the ceremony to be intimate and unique to us without being too formal or stuffy. Haley gave us great guidance as we were working through the plan, and it was clear she cared a ton about our special day. We had specific elements we wanted to incorporate, and she did an incredible job of weaving in our wishes and adding personal touches while making the ceremony flow effortlessly with an air of sincerity and humor. She was incredibly well prepared. We had multiple guests come up to us during the reception complimenting the ceremony and Haley. She even dressed to match our color scheme. A+ all around. We couldn’t recommend Haley more.
The most common compliment we’ve heard about our wedding day has been “Your officiant was INCREDIBLE.” We couldn’t have asked for a more seamless, professional, personal experience than we received. Haley scheduled multiple video chats prior to wedding day to go over our vision for the ceremony. She asked thought-provoking questions to get to know us better as a couple, and she was able to beautifully weave our story into the ceremony. Haley’s calming presence and insightful words created the perfect backdrop for our wedding ceremony and set the tone for the rest of the event. Our friends and family laughed and cried and experienced a spectrum of emotions in between, and I truly am not exaggerating when I tell you multiple people (avid wedding-attendees, I might add) made a point to tell us that it was the most beautiful wedding ceremony they had ever experienced.
Talley was amazing! She was warm, organized, and put us at ease throughout the whole process. She personalized the talking points and rocked it on the day of the wedding. She made our day extra special. I couldn't recommend her more highly!
Talley was awesome to work with! She was professional and communicative. She did a great job answering any questions we had and prepared us well for what to expect during the wedding rehearsal. She tailored her speaking points to us and what we valued in our relationship. You could really tell she put time and effort into coming up with what she would say so it didn’t just feel generic, but special. Talley was a genuinely kind person and a positive presence to have around during this busy (somewhat stressful if I’m being honest) time. Would definitely recommend her!
We were having a very simple, straightforward micro-wedding and just wanted to have a very quick ceremony before a sit down small dinner party. Honeybreak was very responsive when I first reached out to them, quickly assigned us an officiant (Jessica). Jessica then took over from there and we coordinated with her directly -- super easy process, she sent us a PDF of a variety of sample vows and we just had to pick which ones to use, and she checked in a couple weeks before to finalize that + the timing/process and she was happy to be flexible when I said we didn't have the full schedule down yet! Several guests came up to me afterwards to ask how we knew the officiant and when I said she was basically a (lovely) stranger off the internet they were surprised as they thought the ceremony had seemed so intimate and not random!
My wife and I thought finding an officiant would be one of the simpler aspects of planning our wedding, but when we sat down and started looking for one, we quickly realized just how much more there was to consider than we realized. From the order of events, to the rituals and ceremonies, to the degree of religiosity, there were so many angles to consider and, more than that, questions we didn’t even know that we should be asking. Enter Honeybreak officiants, and specifically Celine, who was our patient, kind, knowledgable, flexible guide through all of these points and so much more. Celine truly gave us the ceremony we had been dreaming of, and we knew within moments of sitting down to speak with her for the first time that she was the officiant for us. One thing we learned while searching for our officiant was that they oftentimes come prepared with a vision of how the ceremony will go. When we listened to them describe their services, we could feel almost immediately that it was not the right fit for us— either too starched, too religious, or conversely lacking in any traditional elements. Not so with Celine. We gave her a few scant ideas and images of what we wanted for our ceremony, more a vibe than anything else, and she gave us back a fully formatted and beautifully moving ceremony, featuring all of the events and moments we asked for and none that we didn’t. In short, she got us. She knew exactly what we were looking for after talking to us for maybe half an hour. More than that, she continued to work with us to refine our plan, being flexible with wording and offering advice whenever needed, but always making sure our special day was just that: special and uniquely ours. I really can’t say enough about the great work Celine did, but if our testimony is not enough, we had friends and family members coming up to us all throughout the reception telling us how wonderful and moving they found the ceremony to be. We could not be more pleased to have entrusted such a delicate thing as the moment of our marriage to Celine!
We came across Honeybreak on The Knot while searching for an officiant for our small wedding. Celine was already highly commended by previous reviews so we mentioned her name when submitting our quote request. After our introductory Zoom meeting, we were confident that we made the right choice. We had only a general idea of the kind of ceremony we wanted at first, but Celine helped guide us through the customization process in a fun and stress-free way. Once we provided her with some details about ourselves and our story, she put together a wonderful ceremony that was so well written and felt so natural, some of our guests assumed that she'd known us for years. Celine is kind, poised, and has great presence -- our wedding day was perfect and we could not be happier that she was a part of it. Cheers!
Alex Black and the honeybreak officiants team made the entire process so seamless. They were extremely professional, responsive and punctual. I would recommend them without hesitation for a personalized, memorable ceremony
Laura was amazing! We really enjoyed our experience with Honeybreak--our ceremony felt very unique and special to us--definitely the highlight of our event. Thanks so much!
Jessica from Honeybreak Officiants was the perfect officiant for our small elopement ceremony in Central Park. She crafted a personalized love story that captured the true essence of our relationship from the moment we met. She was thoughtful, prompt, and professional throughout the planning process which was so helpful since we all know that planning a wedding can be chaotic and stressful! I'm so glad we went with Honeybreak and definitely recommend them to anyone in the NYC area.
Celine was fantastic and we loved working with her for our intimate ceremony pulled together on a short timeframe. She has a warm, engaging presence yet professional approach that made our special day magical and unforgettable, even amidst inclement weather. She took the time to get to know us, understand our vision, and provided support throughout the entire process which took out much of the stress from the celebration so we could focus on enjoying it.
Celine was very helpful in supporting us with steps required for the documentation and paperwork on a tight schedule, ensuring everything was in order and offering clear guidance on what we needed to do. Despite the unpredictable weather, she remained flexible and poised, allowing us to fully enjoy our wedding day!
From customizing our love story, to helping us identify rituals and readings that resonated, to coordinating the logistics, Celine worked with us every step of the way to make sure our ceremony was everything we hoped for.
Celine from Honeybreak Officiants was the perfect addition to officiate our wedding. She organized an initial session with my husband and I to understand what we were looking for in our wedding. She was also helpful in sharing guides so that we could have a better idea of the different options available to us in creating our perfect memory. On the day itself, Celine was professional, she speaks well and made the day so special indeed.
We chose Honeybreak Officiants for our NYC elopement, Celine was our officiant and she wrote a beautiful and personal ceremony for us. She helped us with writing our vows and provided an excellent service for us.
For our elopement Honeybreak Officiants made us feel so comfortable from the start with the whole process and most importantly they are reliable. We couldn’t have asked for more, professional and very sweet. Highly recommended!
Our officiant Celine was very approachable from our first communication. She was eager to make sure she knew our story for our ceremony.
We felt very guided through the entire process and what to do afterwards for the apostille with the city and county clerks.
My husband and I couldn’t recommend Celine enough.
We really loved working with Honeybreak. Our wedding was a non-religous approach and Celine really helped guide us. They had also had a great selection of readings. Her performance on the day was warm and inviting while allowing the ceremony itself to shine. I would recommend Celine to anyone!
We loved working with Celine from start to finish! She created such a lovely, memorable ceremony for us. In fact, her script was so special that many of our family members asked to receive a copy.
Celine's kindness and warmth was felt by all, and our guests are still talking about how intimate and personalized our ceremony was. It rained quite a bit on our special day and I have to admit the weather was getting me a bit down, but right before we began Celine said, "they say a wet knot is harder to untie" and that stuck with me for the rest of the day. It's a comment I'll always remember, so thank you, Celine for your positivity and optimism!
We can't recommend Honeybreak Officiants enough. They're professional, responsive, super friendly and a woman-owned business!
Celine was a wonderful officiant, guiding us through the preparation for our wedding with care and ease as well as being responsive with any questions we had or adjustments we wanted to make. On the day Celine and our witness arrived promptly and was incredibly helpful with the steps to complete our paperwork. Celine's words in the ceremony were beautiful and we could not have asked for a more personal and wonderful experience.
Laura Goehrke did a wonderful job officiating our vowel renewal ceremony! She made sure to get to know us beforehand and understand what would the event look like and what we were expecting from the ceremony. Furthermore, she made sure to know some of our personal feelings and motivations towards each other, in an effort to write a very sincere script that felt very personal. On the day of, she arrived on time and was super patient and accommodating with an unexpected delay, and conducted the ceremony beautifully. We were very happy to had hired Laura for officiating our ceremony and would definitely recommend her services for any couples that are looking for someone to officiate their ceremony with a very personal and sincere touch.
Honeybreak Officiants was the perfect choice for planning our destination wedding to NYC! Not only are their services affordable, but our officiant, Alex, made the process stress free and enjoyable. She was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and helpful, and the ceremony she developed for us was not only heartfelt but unique to us. Fingers crossed I don't need to use this vendor again but I would 100% recommend it to other couples looking to get married in NYC!
It was a lovely time working with Celine. She is very responsive and communicated very well before the ceremony. We really appreciate Celine's services and accommodation to our needs. My friends who attended the ceremony also had a very great unforgettable time. We’ve already share our special moment with our friends and family around the world. Thank you for making this happening in the exact way we want. Thanks!
Laura at Honeybreak was our officiant for our wedding ceremony in Brooklyn. She crafted the ceremony that was the right fit for us, made sure our vision was kept well in mind, and kept us in the loop throughout the drafting and editing process. Her ceremony made us both laugh and made me cry happy sentimental tears (not a high bar, though). We’d recommend Laura for anyone getting married, of any gender — she’s great!
We chose Honeybreak Officiants to relieve ourselves of the stress of figuring out how our wedding ceremony would be run (Do we ask a friend to officiate? What will they say? How long should it be? Will we be happy with the ceremony?). As soon as Celine contacted us and the process began, we knew we had made the right decision. She listened to every question and concern, had very helpful suggestions, and ultimately created a beautiful ceremony that felt deeply personal, well written, and 100% what we were hoping for. Having her there on our wedding day was a source of comfort, as she knew exactly what she was doing and was poised, professional, and calm. Having Celine officiate our marriage was one of the best decisions we made about our wedding day, and we can't thank her enough.
We hired Jessica Bloom after seeing her officiate a friends wedding in Brooklyn. Jessica was so perfect for ours. She really put a ton of effort into the flow of the ceremony, our love story and ensuring it reflected our wishes. Jessica was on time and so professional throughout the process. She really made everything so easy from the rehearsal to the day of, we were in great hands. I would absolutely request her and hire her it's a no brainer! We got tons of compliments from our guests and am certain she will be hired by some of our friends too :)
Alex was such a perfect fit for us! She helped us create a ceremony that really felt true to us, our history together, and our views on marriage. The whole process was easy and the actual ceremony was fun and celebratory!
Celine and Honeybreak were absolutely wonderful to work with! We had no idea where to start with writing a ceremony, but their process was so simple and made for such a beautiful speech. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors, and went above and beyond with explaining the process we needed to take for both obtaining and registering our marriage license, as well as the extra steps needed for international filing. We can't thank them enough for everything they did and being part of our special day.
Celine was helpful in our preparations for our wedding day. She had plenty of suggestions and guidance on the styles and words for the ceremony. She was flexible in working with our needs. And most importantly, all of our guests thought she was fantastic. Eloquent, clear, and touching. We will recommend Celine and Honeybreak Officients to all our friends and family.
When we reached out to Honeybreak Officiants we were promptly put in touch with Alex Black who officiated our wedding. She was responsive, warm, friendly and made it a breeze to work with her to draft the ceremony wording. On the day she was on time and did a perfect job. I highly recommend Honeybreak Officiants!
We were so lucky to have Jessica from Honeybreak Officiants with us at our ceremony! Jessica was cheerful and responsive to all of our questions during our planning process, incredibly calming and funny during our ceremony, and super organized in handling the paperwork for our marriage license. We loved how she shared our love story, and how supportive she was with our personal vows (she even offered to review our vows separately in advance to help us ensure they were the same length, tone and sentiment!). After the ceremony, multiple friends and family members came up to us to tell us how lovely and romantic our ceremony was. Would absolutely recommend Jessica to others!
Celine was an excellent officiant. She made a ceremony that was true to what we were envisioning, and executed it flawlessly. She also gave us a lot of great ideas that we would never have come up with ourselves and that were a hit with all our guests. She made our ceremony special, personalized to us, and completely seamless. We loved working with her!
My wife and I eloped in Astoria park last weekend, and Celine was our officiant. She was such a pleasure to work with from the very beginning! Celine was organized and professional throughout, and was in regular communication with us in the months leading up to the ceremony. During the planning of the ceremony, she met with us to discuss our vision and tone, and the ceremony she wrote matched it perfectly and was so beautiful. It was completely customized to us and our love story, and it was so much more than we could have ever asked for. Thank you so much Celine for making our day perfect!
Celine was extremely kind, patient, prompt and helpful - everything you would want your officiant to be! She accommodated our last minute ceremony and even came to our home. She was available to answer any question and provided us with all the necessary materials. The ceremony she performed was perfect. She made the experience of getting married quickly effortless and memorable. She also takes the best photos!
We had an amazing and memorable ceremony with Celine! She was so kind and thoughtful, and took the time to tailor everything about our ceremony to what felt like us. It was refreshing to work with a modern and inclusive company that asked us who we were and what we wanted out of a wedding ceremony.
Celine from Honeybreak helped us create the perfect ceremony - she was sensitive and flexible leading up to the ceremony by providing endless options and suggestions to customize our special day. On the day of, Celine was empathetic and kind - we felt very comfortable and were happy to have Celine lead such an intimate moment!
Working with Celine Eid and Honeybreak Officiants made our entire elopement process easier than we thought it was going to be. From walking us step-by-step through the licensing process to obtaining separate appointments for certifications through the City Clerk and Apostille offices due to our foreign needs, Celine was well-informed about what would be needed to satisfy these numerous asks. Additionally, Celine was a helpful resource in providing recommendations for florists, photographers, ceremony locations, and even restaurants for our post-ceremony lunch. We are appreciative of Celine's time, work, guidance and good nature from the time we hired them through our actual ceremony, which they beautifully customized for us. Working with Celine and Honeybreak really did make so many things much easier on our end, and we'll never forget that. -Tito & Alexandrea
We worked with Celine to develop a personalized program for our wedding. She was extremely helpful and helped tailor it to our wishes, which were a bit different than a typical wedding. Even though it ended up raining during our ceremony, Celine took it in stride and made it a wonderful experience! In the end, we loved working with her, her program was perfect, and she made our day a special one.
Celine was absolutely incredible!!! Such a pleasure working with her. She truly personalized our wedding and everyone loved the wedding. It was a rollercoaster of emotions and we loved every single part of it.
Celine made a stressful process easy and flexible. We walked through many options and she customized our ceremony just the way we wanted it. Thank you Celine!
Celine was the perfect officiant for our beautiful NYC wedding. She wrote and helped provide us with a personalised ceremony that was very special and matched the tone we wanted for our wedding completely.
She was also very helpful providing us extra marriage information as we are not US citizens.
Honeybreak Officiants were absolutely fantastic! Celine made sure our ceremony was perfect. My husband and I live in Mexico and wanted to legalize our Marriage in New York. Between covid and travel restrictions we ended up postponing our wedding 3 times. Celine was so very patient with us and so informative regarding obtaining our marriage license and legalities. She responds promptly and took the time to really personalize our special day. I would highly recommend Honeybreak Officiants for professional, stress free and personalized service!
From day one working with Laura from Honeybreak Officiants was comfortable and seamless. She made my fiancé and I feel important and that she was dedicated to making our wedding day memorable and special. Laura was funny and personable and her easy going personality went well with ours. She delivered all of the ceremony drafts on time and always made sure that we had all the information we needed and answered all of our questions.
Our wedding ceremony was perfect, Laura wrote a beautiful speech and our guests loved her added humor. She was the perfect fit for us and I would highly recommend her!
Celine & Honeybreak Officiants were a dream to work with. We reached out to them last minute and they were incredibly flexible finding a date and time to marry us (we wanted a very specific date for sentimental reasons). After sending an initial inquiry, Celine emailed us back immediately, explained the entire process, and worked with us to find a time and place to get married on our date. Fast forward to the day before we were supposed to be married, and we had a license issue that caused us to have to reschedule our appointment with Celine (with less than 24 hours notice). She was so kind and courteous working with us to find a new spot and a new time to marry us on our special date. We cannot thank her enough for her professionalism and generosity in helping us with this process. Would recommend Celine & Honeybreak wholeheartedly!
Celine was professional and highly sympathetic !
She was very caring with us. She accompanied us with great kindness throughout the ceremony.
Celine was instrumental in making our wedding a truly magical, heartfelt event. I would recommend her to any couple looking for an officiant who cherishes sincerity, authenticity and sweetness.
We loved our experience with Celine. From the planning process (which had to be arranged overseas) to the actual day of our ceremony, everything went perfectly. Celine was so lively, flexible, sweet, professional & made our day a memory for a lifetime! We would a 100% recommend eloping like this.
Celine was very easy to work with and very smart. Both my wife and I loved the wedding she brought to us. The survey she sent as gave us a lot of inspiration on what we want for our wedding. Celine accommodated our customized activities and conducted our wedding smoothly. We like the way she told everyone our love story. And the wedding was so enjoyable and it was exactly what we expected.
Celine did an incredible job officiating our wedding ceremony! From our first meeting, she was incredibly supportive and made the process easy. She was a great resource as we planned out the details of our ceremony to reflect something that felt meaningful and authentic to us as a couple. Lastly, she was a great help in guiding us through getting the marriage license. Highly recommend her A+ work!!
Celine did an incredible job making our ceremony the most special part of our day. Our guests raved about the ceremony. They said it was the nicest one they've ever heard. They loved the way Celine talked about us as a couple. They felt really included in our ceremony and like they had an opportunity to get to know us as people better. I give HBO an A++++. Celine was so sweet, kind, and professional. A beautiful writer, speaker, and person. Thank you, Celine!!!
We saw honeybreak officiants when looking, I really wanted an officiant that was comfortable marrying anyone regardless of race, gender or nationality. Celine went above and beyond for us before, during and even after the ceremony. She made sure we knew exactly what to expect at every step and helped us carry out the elopement of our dreams. She customized the ceremony and surprised us with the most beautiful words and life promises to each other. Thank you Celine for everything you truly made getting married internationally a breeze!
We had a great experience working with Alex at Honeybreak Officiants. She was very helpful throughout the process and created a beautiful custom ceremony for our Central Park elopement. We received many compliments from our family about how special the ceremony was and how impressed they were with Alex. She also kindly mailed our marriage license for us after the ceremony. We are so happy we went with Honeybreak and Alex! Highly recommend!!
My wife and I hired Jessica Bloom from Honeybreak as our officiant. We can't speak highly enough of her - she came with a litany of suggestions for ceremony parts, vows, and readings as well as an ear for what sounded good. She was professional and communicative throughout and very well organized on our wedding day. We received lots of compliments from family on the "Love Story" Jessica helped us craft for our ceremony. All in all we would definitely recommend Honeybreak to other couples!
Our entire experience with Honeybreak was excellent. The communication throughout the whole process was efficient and smooth, from initial inquiry to the wedding day. Our officiant, Alex, was wonderful in so many ways. She answered all our questions clearly and timely, she was friendly, sincere and adaptable. She did a beautiful job officiating our wedding and delivered the ceremony with love, humor, intention, grace and authenticity. It felt like we were being married by a dear friend. I highly recommend Honeybreak if you are looking for a thoughtful, personalized ceremony. It was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Thank you, Alex!!
We had Celine as our wedding officiant.
The process of meeting with Celine and answering questions about our own story made for a great bespoke ceremony that our guest and ourselves loved!
