Our Wedding Officiant NYC - Peter Boruchowitz

g of marriage and the symbology of wedding bands. Thank you so much, Peter!

anyone.

h more special despite the circumstances with his heartfelt words.

g would be over.. but i was wrong. Peter Boruchowitz made our ceremony immensely special, I cannot express this enough! I will forever remember his kind words that almost felt like our very own vows lol I am hoping when the pandemic is over and we finally plan a ceremony where the rest of my family can join, I would rebook Peter as our officiant without hesitations due to his professionalism, generosity, patience and the level of service he provided. I am so thankful we were able to do this with Peter instead of a city clerk official. Thank you so much for everything you did! Sincerely, Mr. and Mrs. Mena

ere of love. If you are looking for the officiant, Peter is the best! P.s: The signed license was sent back to us in less than an hour

were so fortunate to have found Peter Boruchowitz. Mr. Boruchowitz married us late in May just as my husband and I thought all might be lost. We were supposed to get married in a month before. Having to postpone the wedding made it feel like we would never get married. Mr. Boruchowitz made all things possible, fitting us into his schedule to get married virtually. It was surreal. It was a dream come true. We finally had just come together at a later part of our lives of over 20 years that life pulled us apart, I to the military and John’s a different path. Due to Mr. Boruchowitz’ due diligence, he cared enough to make all things possible for John and I to be together and we couldn’t thank him enough. The reason Mr. Boruchowitz has top ranking among all wedding officiants is the quality of service he performs for his client. When you choose Mr. Boruchowitz you choose the best and he will be well recommended to everyone we know. John and I couldn’t thank him enough to make our special day possible.

Boruchowitz. Our wedding date had been pushed back quite a bit and Mr. Boruchowitz married us late in May just as my husband and I thought all might be lost. He took me as priority and worked it into his schedule for the soonest available appointment. I was so relieved to my dismay that this was really going to actually happen and my dreams were going to come true all thanks to Mr Boruchowitz. We finally had just come together at a later part of our lives of over 20 years that life pulled us apart, I to the military and John’s a different path. Due to Mr. Boruchowitz’ due diligence, he cared enough to make all things possible for John and I to be together and we couldn’t thank him enough. The reason Mr. Boruchowitz has top ranking among all wedding officiants is the quality of service he performs for his client. When you choose Mr. Boruchowitz you choose the best and he will be well recommended to everyone we know. John and I couldn’t thank him enough to make our special day possible.

to us. I would recommend Mr. Boruchowitz to any couple, I am sure he will also make your ceremony (virtual or non-virtual) one to remember!

our initial meeting he quickly put together a draft script for our edit/ approval and we quickly and collaboratively settled on the final text. He performed very well on the day of the ceremony and struck just the right tone of a being a commanding speaker but never dominating proceedings. Thanks again Peter!

ne we trusted with our big day. After officially deciding to work with Peter we received a full outline of our ceremony, different options for prayers and his version of “our story”. We made small tweaks but overall Peter hit it out of the park. He even helped us in walking us through the wedding license process which was above and beyond. The day of the wedding Peter was absolutely magical. Listening to his ceremony you would think he has been a life long friend of ours and was just as invested in our marriage as our family and friends. He was flawless to the point where our guest are still talking about his performance. I could not have more great things to say about Peter. There are endless things that one can nitpick about their wedding after the fact but I can truly say I have zero complaints about his ceremony. If you are getting married look no further for your officiant as you have found him! Thank you again Peter, we can not possibly thank you enough! Love, The Donnellys

amazing ceremony, so authentic to true to ourselves.

match to host our ceremony. Peter offers a variety of packages that are budget-friendly. The extra services he provides can help anyone who is planning their weddings. As a resident of New York City, he is an excellent resource for those who want to travel there to get married. Our ceremony was beautiful, and we owe a great deal of that to Peter and Tatiana. We’d highly recommend that you book Peter to officiant your service, you won’t be disappointed.

uests to hear without any issues. We had a shorter ceremony (about a half hour) that included Jewish traditions. Peter outlined a great ceremony for us to work with and let us adjust the format as needed. He made sure to arrive early the day of and was also very helpful finalizing our license after the ceremony. You can't go wrong with choosing Peter!

dding he was an absolute professional. We met with him for a brief interview, he provided us with a draft of the speech which was amazing and tailored to us a short while later, and after giving our input and edits we were all set. He was very easy to work with, our ceremony was clearly laid out and went exactly as planned. Peter pays close attention to detail and it is obvious he has officiated many weddings as he is prepared with his speech typed out on a small noninvasive notepad and was in fact dressed to accommodate our colors. A lot of people asked us if we knew him personally and if he was a friend of ours or something, which is a sign of how incredible his words were and how he spoke about us during the ceremony. His demeanor and voice elevated the entire affair and brought a very profound feeling to such an important in our lives. We could not be happier with Peter as our officiant, he is one of the best there is.

d not recommend enough!

ow we wanted our ceremony to be performed and was completely open to all our changes. At the wedding, Peter was early so we had a chance to chat and get some of the preliminary paperwork taken care of. He is such a nice person and he helped me, the groom, calm down a bit. Not an easy task. He took control over the room and the guests so that our ceremony could begin, but did so in a warm and welcoming way. Our ceremony was beautiful and most assuredly could not have been so without Peter's participation. Trust me, Peter should be presiding over your wedding ceremony as well.

to respond in a timely manner. Peter's email communication was excellent for a couple who is not familiar with NYC. Peter provided wedding license information, elopement locations with videos he created on his website, and Peter secured the ceremony's park permit on our behalf. Peter gave us the ability to modify anything he would say in the ceremony's script and that was very important to us. On the day of the wedding, Peter was on time and gave the ceremony the respect we wanted. Peter Boruchowitz is fantastic and incredibly well spoken. I highly recommend booking with him.

ver be grateful for his professionalism and guidance. He enabled us to have a ceremony that was personally meaningful to us, combining elements of our Jewish and Catholic traditions in a way that felt beautiful and authentic. We couldn't be happier.

y would compromise the specialness of our day. However, Peter surprised me. He brings such joy and positive energy that moves the crowd. I cannot tell you how many of our guests reached out to us the next day to comment about how moving the ceremony was. My uncle always told me, "if you have a meaningful ceremony, the energy for the after party will follow". Peter was able to perfectly capture this! Thank you so much for the beautiful memories!

videos from potential officials as they search for the person who will do their ceremony. We watched several. Peter stood out. As we are both actors and performers, that is something we respond to. When we met with him for an initial consultation. His professional, respectful demeanor coupled with his knowledge of ceremonies, his ideas, and his friendly openness to our ideas really sealed the deal for us. He was a huge help guiding us into creating the ceremony that eventually would be used in our wedding. He was collaborative in writing the vows, he made incredible suggestions about the flow of the ceremony, he was helpful in guiding us through the legal steps of licensing the marriage, etc., and he was always responsive and understanding of our questions leading up to the event. We are fortunate in that there was not much that we would change as we look back on our wedding – perhaps invite more people, but that always comes down to budget. Peter is worth every dime and frankly his fees are very reasonable given the fact that your ceremony will go without a hitch, as ours did. I can’t recommend Peter enough not only as an officiant, but he’s just a really great human. Do yourself a favor and talk contact him about your wedding ceremony, you won’t be disappointed if you make the good choice to choose him for your officiant.

multi-cultural experience were perfect. We were and are completely satisfied with Peter and his services. On a personal note, thank you Peter. For your care, approach, timeliness and support. You will always be part of our special day. Chris and Christina.

de it easy to figure out exactly the type of ceremony that was right for us. It was clear he can customize a ceremony to match exactly what his clients are looking for. After our first meeting, Peter quickly sent over our entire ceremony to read and was more than happy to make all the changes we requested (there weren't many)! He showed up to our wedding early, and made sure everything was in order. He had a strong, charismatic presence while delivering the ceremony, and his tone was the perfect mix of joyful and solemn, which is exactly how we wanted it to feel. He went out of his way to make everything easy for us from beginning to end, and gave us a beautiful wedding ceremony. 100% recommend working with Peter!

& quickly took command of the shocked crowd. His diction & enunciation were superb (yes; guests did comment on this)! Very easy to work with & great communicator in the weeks prior. Professional, impeccably dressed, well-spoken, amiable, cordial & a bit lighthearted too.. My husband-to-be was sweating profusely during our vows / Peter pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket, patted his brow & handed it to him saying "hey; full-service here".. Everyone chuckled! Would HIGHLY recommend Peter for your special day! Peter will NOT disappoint.

e more pleased with the results. thank you Peter for everything

ould not be just a cut and dried, standard ceremony. I would recommend this very personable man without reservation!

re too many differences between the traditions, but I was determined to make it happen. Peter took care of writing all of the parts we wanted to include for the non-denominational parts of the wedding, and did a seamless job of handing things off back and forth with the hindu priest so that the wedding flowed smoothly. Because we knew the ceremony would take an hour, I was afraid that people would get bored listening after awhile, but Peter did a great job of bringing some energy into it and kept everyone paying attention. We were so happy with our ceremony.

et the right tone for the ceremony. At no time were we concerned that he wasn’t the right person for us. On the day he arrived before all the guests. He has a great nature about him and the ceremony went off without a hitch. I would not hesitate to recommend Peter as your officiant. We couldn’t have wished for a more perfect beginning to our life together. Best wishes to you all, Mr Robert Battley and Mrs Justine Battley

e just for us! We loved the package options he had and wanted to include a few extra things to it. Peter did this with no problem. Peter's presence during the ceremony shines so bright! (His assistant was also so incredibly helpful and great during the ceremony- She made me feel listened to and cared for during any minor worries) Thank you Peter!

so followed up with us after the wedding! He’s amazing. If I could give more stars, I would.

d the perfect words to honor this in his speech. We appreciated that he quickly shared his full speech with us early on, which helped put us at ease (one less thing to worry about during stressful wedding planning!). And he elegantly found a way to add in a tribute to my dad who had passed last year. During the wedding, our venue's microphone failed, however everybody could still hear Peter super clearly - we had comments from our guests on what a great job he did, I don't even think they noticed! Not to mention, Peter's quick thinking probably saved my dress from being caught on fire - I later found out he blew out candles that were previously lit by our venue coordinator to be right by my wedding dress on the floor! Good call on that! I would highly recommend Peter to anybody having a wedding. Thank you again for helping to make our rainy wedding day amazing ! :-D

d many complements afterwards from guests saying how impressive he was. You should definitely consider Peter for your officiant!

bsolutely multi-national group... His performance made our day absolutely even more magical! Thanks Peter!

would recommend him to anyone looking to get married in NYC. Thank you so much Peter for making our special day everything we hoped for!

tiful and we picked Grand Central Station at 930pm! The place was a little busy but the police worked with us and we were able to secure a spot on the Mezzanine. It was the perfect little ceremony.

elephone conversations that he was articulate, professional and accommodating. When I first contacted him, he was on vacation traveling but nevertheless remained accessible via email and would respond in a timely manner to various questions. I explained that I was looking for something short and sweet at a private location in Manhattan. His cost was $500 which I thought was very reasonable after having spoken to several other officiants in the city. When we first sat down for a pre-ceremony coffee meeting, Peter was as advertised - professional, thoughtful and knowledgeable. At the ceremony, Peter was punctual, well-dressed and totally prepared with legal and other paperwork. For 30 minutes before we began, Peter joined in conversation with a small group of my family members and helped us take pictures and maintain an upbeat and friendly atmosphere. His life story is fascinating - he was an actor and massage therapist before becoming a wedding officiant. His presence was a major asset to the entire event. He was personable yet respectful and only sat with the family when invited. My future in-laws seemed very happy with our choice of officiant. The words he chose for the ceremony were just perfect and he incorporated the family members names’ who were in attendance. We all appreciated what he said so much that we asked for a copy of the words which he e-mailed to us within hours of the request. Overall, we had a wonderful experience with Peter and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is in need of his services. BH & CH

were short on time, worked with us quickly to still make our ceremony personal, special, and unique. We got married at one of the more busy parts of Central Park. Peter was the best for this type of environment. Not only does he have a strong presence where his voice and message carried across the crowd, but he has a strong personality that could help navigate the busy NYC location. I'm so glad we worked with Peter on our special day!

was warm, friendly and genuinely interested in getting to know us as a couple. Little did we know that he was already planning our ceremony!!! Peter personalized our ceremony and was incredibly flexible with our suggestions, but at the same time helped guide us through the process to ensure we had selected readings and vows that fit us as a couple. Our dream New York City ceremony couldn't have been more perfect- THANK YOU!!!!

touch you were with the couple. You are absolutely phenomenal. From the initial email to the completion of the wedding, you made planning this wedding from across the county fun, easy, and personal (we are from California). We hope that anyone who is thinking of getting married in New York finds you to perform it. The wedding would not have been the same without you. Thank you so much!

with!

igion (for our families), but kept it personal and light (for us). Our families have not stop raving about our beautiful the ceremony was - one guest told us it was the nicest "service" they've every been to. I would recommend him to ANYONE needing an Officiant!

amount of Religion (for our Mothers), but kept it contemporary (for us). I would recommend him to ANYONE needing an Officiant!

h us which was really nice. But what we loved more than anything was what he had to say for our ceremony and how it was said. He came up with the most perfect speech, from the opening prayer to the poem I had added in... it was all recited so beautifully. Our guests even commented how much they enjoyed the ceremony, it wasn't a drag & it kept their attention. We just received our wedding video and it was so nice to relive that moment again. Thank you Peter for being apart of our day and making it so perfect and memorable!! :D

erfect to officiate our wedding. He was very responsive to our emails and remained in regular contact with us up to our wedding day. Peter even gave us ideas for alternative wedding venue when the forecast took a turn for the worse. What stuck out to my husband and I the most was Peters warmth, it felt like we had known him years and we could see Peter took great pride in his work which put us both at ease with planning our wedding from 5000 miles away! We predominantly used face time to speak to Peter and he took the time to get to know us as a couple and from this developed an amazing script for our ceremony. On our wedding day, Peter met us in Central Park welcoming us a big hug. Our wedding ceremony was better than either of us could ever of imagined. All of our guests commented how wonderful Peter was, he really was the perfect choice for us. During the ceremony Peter spoke with great presence and sincerity, it was evident that he loves what he does and being a part of peoples special day. If you are looking for an Officiant, look no further, there is no better than Peter.

our minds we booked him right on the spot and are so glad we did! Our ceremony was amazing! It was funny, witty, lighthearted, easy to follow and most of all not a drag! Not to mention many of our guests commented on how soothing and peaceful Peter's voice was - which made the ceremony a pleasure to listen to. We felt like Peter really got to know us, understood what we wanted and delivered 100000%. Highly recommend him! He is absolutely wonderful!

ng so much better informed than when we got there. Peter was incredibly responsive and professional. He answered all of our questions and e-mails quickly. He sent us a draft of our ceremony right away after we confirmed booking him for our Wedding. His words were perfect. It was obvious he really paid attention when getting to know us the first meeting and he told our story as though he knew us for years. His personality is wonderful. He has an incredible presence that is strong and projects well, but also is warm and romantic and did not out shine us. His voice and words were so perfect for our Wedding. Everyone, including some of the biggest critics in our families, LOVED HIM.

ter reading very favourable reviews online & we found our experience to be the exact same. In all communication prior to the wedding Peter was always very helpful, professional & quick to reply. He also gave us tips about NY & suggested the most beautiful location in Central Park to get married at. He consulted us at every step of the way & produced a wonderful wedding ceremony that was so personal & really reflected us as people. Around 30 of us travelled from Scotland to NY & many of our guests commented on how great Peter was, how personal he made it & of course his wonderful New York accent! Couldn't have asked for a better officiant - thank you Peter!

more knowledgeable than most Hindu priests!! We come from different religious backgrounds and have children from prior relationships. He helped us script a beautiful ceremony that combined both of our faiths and our families, combining us into one unified family. And his fee was more than reasonable. We could not have chosen a more perfect officiant. We have NO reservations about recommending him for any wedding ceremony.

but with wine). He was very responsive, professional, and arrived early to the ceremony site. Our ceremony was beautiful and our guests complimented how nice it was! We loved the wine unity, and all the nice words Peter said! Very memorable!

dgeable about all 3 backgrounds and was able provide a perfect ceremony for us. He was truly helpful every step of the way and we highly, highly recommend his services. Thanks again!

! He even mentioned our pets back home which was a lovely touch. We had to communicate via video link as we came to NYC from the UK. Peter made us feel at ease and we were right to have no anxiety about the day as he had it all figured out. Thanks again Peter! Lillie and Sam

be a life-long friend because his ceremony was so personal and so representative of our relationship. Peoples' mouths were agape when I told them that we had only met him for 30 minutes at a cafe in Chelsea and that was all it took for him to deliver. Peter was an absolute professional, and gave us exactly what we wanted in a wedding ceremony. Simple, elegant, and romantic was what we wanted and what we got. Peter followed up any questions we had and was on top of our marriage license so that it was waiting for us in the mail by the time we got back from the honeymoon. He wasn't pushy, didn't have an agenda or a 'directorial vision' that some officiants want to push. He just wanted to deliver a memorable day for my wife and I. We were thrilled with his performance, and so were all of our family and friends. I can't recommend him enough.

which he spoke captivating, but the words he chose were so beautiful in describing marriage and the commitment we were making to one another. Almost every single member of our family and friends came up to us after the ceremony to say how wonderful Peter was, the readings he chose and everything. We were so thrilled, he will be officiating our bigger celebration to renew our vows!

was no question who we wanted to officiate; it had to be Peter. Although our wedding plans evolved from simple to a bit more elaborate, we felt secure in choosing Peter, knowing his involvement was one detail we needn't worry about. In preparing our ceremony, he took time to understand our vision and offer suggestions for creating something truly special. When Peter sent us the first draft, which was very nearly perfect, we cried; it was so beautiful. He included very specific and personally meaningful details we hadn't even realized he noted during our conversations. There were very few minor revisions we made - adding a name here or there; changing a date. We could not have been any happier with the ceremony Peter crafted for us. The wedding itself was wonderful due in large part to Peter's unique, inspired service; his sincerity and professionalism. Many of our guests remarked it was the most beautiful ceremony they'd ever witnessed. If you want your wedding to be as joyful and memorable as you can imagine you must choose Peter to create and perform your ceremony; he is absolutely the best. Thank you Peter!

e so we booked him up! Neither me or my husband really had any ideas about what we wanted for the ceremony, even down to our wedding location, but Peter gave us many suggestions and even recommended a great spot in Central Park which turned out to be absolutely perfect! Peter found us a witness and recommended a photographer, he arrived to our location early battling the cold and after the ceremony waited for us to get photographs, but most of all seemed genuinely happy and excited to marry us. We couldn't recommend him enough. Thank you Peter!

we mulled over readings and words. On the day he was a wonderfully calming presence for the two of us and the ceremony went perfectly, catered to us and our vibe beautifully. His words were very touching - many guests mentioned how well he captured our essence during the ceremony. We would definitely recommend Peter!

some great suggestions as we weren't really sure of how we wanted to do the whole ceremony. What was really nice was Peter didn't force any of his suggestions and was totally open and supportive of all our final decisions on the details of the ceremony. The ceremony was spiritual without being religious and Peter was great at expressing the emotion and importance of the day. Also want to note that Peter was great with the bridal party and put our two junior bridesmaids at ease who were a bit nervous of exactly how to walk down the aisle and line up at the front.

more. I highly recommend Peter for any and all officiating.

ofessional, extremely organized and has such a fantastic personality. After our first meeting, Peter quickly provided a draft of the ceremony and let my now husband and I review/edit as many times as needed (His ceremony was so great I barely made any changes to it) On the day of my wedding, I was feeling like an anxiety ridden Bridezilla. Anything that could go wrong was going wrong EXCEPT for Peter. My 2 readers forgot to bring copies of their readings which at perfect timing Peter so graciously handed them each copies he had printed. He was kind enough to direct the groom and groomsmen on how to line up and prepare before the ceremony. And most importantly he started the wedding off on a beautiful note. So many of my guest complimented on Peter and the ceremony. The ceremony was a huge hit. My advice to any Bride reading this choose Peter, that is one decision I can guarantee you will be beyond pleased with. Mr. and Mrs. Uzquiano

tting our cultures (Scottish and German). It was important to us to have the handfasting ceremony, which was done in a traditional, yet unique way. We will certainly come back for renewals and hope that many others in love with ask Peter to conduct the ceremony. They will be ensured a special day. Our special moment was overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge exactly as the golden sun set. Absolute perfection.

y next day. Peter was extremely responsive over email and he crafted beautiful wedding vows that shared the story of how my husband and I met, and the love we have for one another. The day of the wedding Peter arrived an hour ahead of schedule, and was impeccably dressed in a suit with a purple tie to match our wedding colors. After the ceremony numerous friends and family members came up to me raving about the wonderful job that Peter did. I'm genuinely pleased with his services and would highly recommend him to anyone I know getting married!

wedding where you can't bring a sound system, this was awesome). He made a point to tailor the ceremony exactly for us. Many of our guests asked how we knew him since it just felt so personal. He also mentioned are little dog in the ceremony, which made us so happy. Whatever you want, he will work it in, and he was very sensitive to my concerns about how the ceremony should be. Also, he just seems to really believe what he was saying. There was a weight to his words, not like he was running through the motions at all. We had the loveliest ceremony, and I can't thank Peter enough for helping make it so wonderful!

kind. He really made the ceremony personal and so beautiful. It was like he had known us for a long time. So many people commented on how good the ceremony was. I would recommend him to everyone. Many

eter, you won't be disappointed!!!

ts came up to us afterwards to complement us on how beautiful, personal, and multi-cultural the ceremony was. We greatly appreciated working with Peter and highly recommend him to other couples.

ell. we highly recommend him and we are glad we had him for our officiant.

k with overall. The day of the wedding he was early, and spoke with enthusiasm, and made some guests laugh. We'd recommend Peter with no hesitation.

an hour and a half early and you could tell this wasnt his first rodeo. Our wedding planner the venue provided for us was an absolute horror to work with and Peter quickly corrected numerous mistakes she created before the ceremony started. During the ceremony our runner bunched up and people were not able to walk on it. Peter quickly ran down the aisle and removed it so others would not trip...Thank you Peter for saving the day! Peter was so articulate and his ceremony was truly beautiful. The way he was able to combine certain aspects from both our religions into his ceremony was remarkable. I am not lying when I say that almost every person at our wedding asked where in the world did we find this officiant as he was truly amazing. I can honestly say that Peter is the ultimate professional and he provided us with the most beautiful ceremony. If you are looking for a cant miss officiant Peter is truly your guy!

ent is, of course, the greatest one in our lives in itself, but no doubt Peter has been a masterkey to its achievement! Wedding at the Lake, Central Park, NYC on May 7th 2016.

rs/officiants until Peter. From the email and phone call I gave him he could tell I was stressed. He call me within 15 minutes and immediately calmed me down. He let me know he was mine and I could relax. He met with us and really wanted to know who we were. He then created a ceremony that captured our personalities and the things that was most important to us. He was so supportive and excited to do our wedding. It was perfect. He did an amazing job and really calmed me at every turn. During the ceremony he saw panic in my eyes because I forgot matches for the candle lighting. Seeing this he looked at me and said I've got it then continued with what he was saying. He didn't miss a beat. I feel so blessed and that he was sent to us by God to assist us in creating a perfect day. Thank you Peter from the bottom of our hearts. We love you and all you did for us. And you know what I mean. Thank you thank you thank you. Hugs Cynthia & Al LaRocca
