We used Peter as our officiant on 10/20/24. Right from the start he was very communicative, answered all of our questions and my fiancé and I just felt comfortable with him right off the bat. My fiancé and I are of different religious backgrounds so we wanted someone non denominational who can make our wedding still feel a bit spiritual with a sand ceremony, and Peter was did a fantastic job. Our families agreed that he did a great job as well, he kept our guests engaged and interested during the ceremony. We're very happy that Peter played a role in one of the happiest days of our lives, book him!!!
Peter Boruchowitz was the perfect person for this important job. He made the ceremony the least stressful part of the whole day. Good smiles, great stage presence, and most importantly a genuine sense of care and desire to unite two people in love. Peter is an awesome guy. If you're on the fence about picking someone, go with Peter!
If you are looking for a wedding officiant who will make you ceremony rememberable, personal and just out right amazing then Peter really is the person! From the initial meeting with Peter i knew we had made the right choice in our officiant. The ceremony was wrote around our relationship making it really special. The whole process from booking right until the day was so smooth and easy to do which makes wedding planning so much easier! Peter was a genuinely lovely guy and really down to earth and funny! If you are going to make any right decisions about your day it's choosing Peter. Thank you so much for making our day so special!
Peter was an exceptional officiant for our wedding. With a mix of English-speaking and Chinese-speaking guests, he made sure everyone felt included and enjoyed the ceremony, regardless of language barriers. Peter provided us with a thoughtful script, and after a few minor adjustments, it was exactly what we envisioned for our special day. His delivery was flawless—articulate, engaging, and highly professional.
We also incorporated a sand ceremony, which was Peter's wonderful suggestion, and it added a meaningful touch that we hadn’t initially considered. Throughout the planning process, he was incredibly responsive, always quick to reply to emails, and arrived early on the day of the wedding to ensure everything was in place.
We couldn't have asked for a better officiant and wholeheartedly recommend Peter to anyone looking for a truly memorable wedding ceremony.
Service was striaghtforward. Peter was professional and made everything go smoothly. I did not have to stress about anything at all.
Peter is truly an expert at what he does ,the ceremony drafts he provided were beautifully personalized, capturing the essence of our relationship perfectly. Peter was very easy to communicate with—whether it was through Zoom or email, he was always responsive and accommodating. His punctuality and professionalism were evident from the start, and on the day of our wedding, he delivered a heartfelt and memorable ceremony. We highly recommend Peter to anyone looking for an officiant who is both skilled and personable.
Peter is an outstanding officiant! My partner and I were having a difficult time picking an officiant with so many options in nyc. However, with one video chat with Peter, we knew he was the perfect fit for our wedding day. He was available by email, phone, or video chat any time we needed him and he was a quick responder to even our smallest questions or concerns. We hired Peter about 10 months before the ceremony, and he communicated all the way up to the day of our wedding, keeping us informed on the wedding location, permit, and ceremony details. He created the perfect ceremony speech that really reflected us as a couple, and everyone who attended told us how wonderful, welcoming, and friendly he was from the minute they arrived to the ceremony location. If you are on the fence about choosing a wedding officiant, choose Peter! You will not find better!
When we decided to do a destination wedding the first and most important thing was to find the perfect officient who can help us not just with the ceremony but also with all the other services e.g. makeup, hair, flowers, musiciant, photographer. After the first zoom meeting with Peter we were sure we want to do this whole crazy thing with him. We chose his 'Full Wedding Package' that was a wise decision. I think I was the calmest bride ever. Peter organized everything how we asked. There was nothing that we would change. Even after sending just pictures and colours by e-mail I had the most beautiful bouquet in the world! Or at least how I imagined/wanted it. :) He gave very practical advices as well. Everything went smoothly on The Big Day. We had our wedding in the Central Park with our family and the closest friends on the beautiful spot of Ladies Pavilion. The ceremony was heart warming with the mixture of Peter's and my closest friend's speach. Peter supported all our wishes about the wedding and did everything to feel ourselves calm, satisfied and happy.
Peter made our entire wedding. My husband and I both said that we wish we could get married just so we could have Peter marry us again. From the moment I saw Peter at my venue for the first time, my nerves calmed, and I felt am overwhelming sense of love and happiness. He has an aura about him that makes you feel comfortable, joyful and just overall wonderful. I could not be happier having Peter as the one to officiate our wedding. He was so kind from the first conversation we had with him, catered to all of our wants and requests, and made our ceremony so very special. He spoke so perfectly, clearly, and truly touched all of our wedding guests. 100000/10.
Peter was a perfect balance of professionalism and personal touch. He also had a certain charisma that the audience was attracted to. Dana Lynn and I both provided our own stories on how we first met, and individually shared with Peter. Peter did a fantastic job of combining both of our stories, which we and the audience found entertaining.
We spoke with many officiants before landing with Peter. And we are thrilled we made the right choice.
Thank you!
Peter was amazing throughout our whole wedding journey from 1st email and zoom call until the big day. He advised us throughout, from the perfect spot in Central Park for our ceremony, to giving us lots of options for our vows. We chose to go with Peter because of how he made us feel on our first zoom appointment and he did not disappoint. What a lovely man! He organised the flowers and photographer for us and both were perfect. He was lovely on the day and the ceremony was beautiful. Thank you so much, highly highly recommended, made the whole process stress free and beautiful.
We can’t speak highly enough of the service and communication that Peter provided us for our NYC elopement from Australia. He took the time to do a Zoom call with us to get to know us and us to get to know him. We immediately connected and knew Peter was the one to announce us as husband and wife. At short notice, Peter agreed to move our ceremony date due to forecast bad weather and we can’t thank him (or recommend him) enough.
Peter is an amazing officiant! We’re so happy we found him. He was super helpful with planning the ceremony and writing the script months before the wedding, very open to our thoughts and ideas, and he brought us some great ideas/readings himself that we wound up using. Right before the ceremony, he spoke to us to help us relax and helped us rehearse. So many guests complimented Peter and the ceremony later on in the night. He’s a great speaker and a great person.
For something as big as your wedding, hiring an Officiant online can be scary. But Peter quickly put our stress at ease. Peter's quick replies via email or text are out of this world. From start to finish he answered all of our questions and took the time to really get to know us as a couple. What REALLY stood out? Transparent pricing and process. He even showed up extra early on the big day. And most importantly, our families loved him too. You can tell he deeply loves what he does. Thank you for everything, Peter—the ceremony was spectacular. Truly fantastic experience all-around. We couldn't be more thrilled!
We are so grateful to have Peter officiate our wedding. We would recommend Peter to be part of anyone’s special day. Thank you again for making our dream a reality.
Peter officiated our wedding at Palma, May 2023. He was absolutely fantastic from the initial emails all the way to his delivery on our wedding day. His communication was excellent and he seemed to answer my questions/concerns before I could ask. We had many compliments on our ceremony and everyone wanted to know where we found him! I truly feel he is the best of the best.
Before we decided that Peter would our Wedding Officiant, we actually met with 3 other people, and had decided on one. However, once we spoke to Peter on our first touch base, it was clear from the outset that he was the only man for the job! He understood and loved our story just as much as we did, and then provided us with the most beautiful ceremony we could imagine. Peter was very professional, an hour early, which is better than an hour late!, and and helped make our day extra special by incorporating both our Irish and American heritages. Both our family and friends were and still are telling us how beautiful it was. We would highly recommend Peter as your Wedding Officiant. A++
Peter was wonderful! We recently used him for our wedding ceremony in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. He captivated the audience and shared such lovely words that aligned with us as a couple. So happy we used Peter.
Peter officiated our wedding in Central Park on April 7, 2023. He brought a natural friendliness, warmth, sophistication, and familiarity to the whole process, so much so that many of our guests thought that surely we must have known him for a long time! His words were beautiful and delivered impeccably, and he is very easy to work with. It helped that he has so much experience with weddings, so he was able to answer any questions I had about certain aspects of the ceremony. We highly, highly recommend him!!
Peter was an absolute pleasure to work with! He was highly professional, charismatic, and kind throughout the entire process. He was also incredibly punctual with all of our meetings, revisions, and especially on the day of our wedding. But what really made Peter so great was how he was able to successfully and confidently create a ceremony in which he blended my Catholic wedding traditions with my wife’s Hindu wedding traditions. That honestly meant so much to our families and we still have guests telling us how great of a job Peter did. I cannot recommend Peter enough! Thank you so much, Peter, for helping to make our day so special! And if you decide that Peter is the right officiant for you, then rest assured that you will be in the best hands possible!
Peter is an absolutely incredible officiant - he is professional and passionate in all that he does. He took the time to know my husband and I before the wedding, worked with us on a few drafts to get the ceremony exactly right, and totally delivered on the day. His warmth and kindness immediately grounded me as I reached the end of the aisle - I didn't realize how much that would mean to me! His words were beautifully delivered, and so many of our guests mentioned how awesome he was. I highly recommend booking him - you'll be very glad you did :)
Peter was better than anything I could have hoped for in an Officiant. He was very helpful and engaging from the beginning even 9 months before the wedding. Everything we needed to do was laid out for us in a clear concise plan and he was always available to speak with. He spoke beautifully at our ceremony and we got so many compliments about him from all of our guests!
Peter service was everything we could wish for.
We renewed our vows for our 25th Wedding Anniversary in Central Park, as Peter had organise everything for us, flowers, photographer, beautiful speech, as we wish.
Completely Stress free , we live in Europe and we had a online chat to discuss all the details.
The ceremony was amazing, on a Sunny NY day. Strongly recommend Peter’s service to anyone. He is such professional, very friendly and welcoming, feels that we knew each other for ages.
Thank you Peter.
Peter did a fantastic job officiating our wedding. He was professional and responsive leading up to the wedding, is flexible, punctual, organized, wore a tuxedo, and most importantly officiated our wedding with his booming powerful voice. Think twice before having a friend officiate your wedding - it will be impossible to beat Peter's professionalism and expertise. If you want to incorporate friends, have them do a reading during the ceremony or a toast during reception. Hire Peter to officiate the wedding, he will do it right! We received many compliments about Peter's officiating. 5 stars!
My wife & I recently (May 2022) hired Peter to be the officiant at our wedding ceremony in Central Park NYC.
I/we don’t normally write reviews (out of laziness more than anything else!) but we both felt compelled to write a positive review for Peter.
He was incredible from the first moment we met.
We live in the UK so had to organise much of the wedding from across the Atlantic.
He kept us updated, checked in with us regularly (via Zoom) and generally put our minds at ease.
On the big day he was at the venue professionally early waiting to greet us and again, put us at ease.
We will be forever grateful for the way he hosted the ceremony with professionalism, passion, care, and a big smile.
All the guests complimented him to us and said how great he was.
Thank you for being part of our special day.
We’ll be forever grateful.
We highly HIGHLY recommend any other couples to choose Peter. You will NOT be disappointed.
Thanks again Peter.
You were AWESOME.
James & Katie .
Peter Boruchowitz was absolutely amazing as our wedding officiant. We originally hired Peter back in 2019, but when our wedding was postponed Peter was very helpful and understanding and gave us no trouble moving our date (twice). We met with Peter in person only once, and that was all it took to realize we wanted him to be the one to marry us. He was so friendly, accommodating and well spoken.
We finally got married in May 2022 and couldn’t be more thrilled with how it went. Peter worked with us to ensure the ceremony was personal and reflected our values. Our guests commented about how excellent Peter was, and like we had known him our whole life.
If you are looking for an officiant do not hesitate to hire Peter, you won’t be disappointed.
Peter was the absolute best pick for our wedding. He listened to our story, and was able to include everything we asked for in the ceremony. He remained professional, while simultaneously being funny , witty, and relatable. Peter made sure we had everything we needed, and went above his profession in making sure our day was absolutely perfect. Thank you for being exactly what we needed !
Peter was the officiant for our wedding last summer. He was incredible! I found him through a google search looking for someone who was certified in New York and available on a relatively short turnaround. He was instrumental in helping us secure the permit for our wedding in Prospect Park, even though he normally doesn’t perform weddings there. He also took the time to get to know me and my fiancé (now husband). He worked with us to create a very personal wedding service and a beautiful ceremony. We booked one of his wedding packages, which included a photographer, a bouquet and a boutonnière, which took a lot of pressure off of our planning. Everything was lovely! So grateful to have him as part of our day.
We are so grateful for finding Peter to officiate our wedding! We wanted to exchange our vows in a completely unique way and after looking around online for someone, we found Peter’s website and knew right away that we wanted him to do it! He responded very quickly and was available for the date and time we wanted. He then did a Zoom call with us ahead of time to get acquainted with us and get some more information about what we wanted for the ceremony. We felt even more comfortable after the Zoom call--as if we had known him for years! He was very communicative throughout the entire process and then when we met up with him on our wedding day, he helped us find the perfect spot (we got married in a public location in Manhattan that meant a lot to us)! We had such a great time with him that we made him come with us to Campbell Apartment in Grand Central for a celebratory toast before we went on with the rest of our big day! We cannot recommend Peter enough as an officiant and feel so lucky to have found him!
Peter was a brilliant officiant!
Being overseas and having to met Peter a on Zoom, we knew he had to be our officiant. He is charismatic, funny and professional. Not knowing exactly what we wanted, Peter recommended ideas and gave us a lot of variety and choice to what our ceremony could be, which was excellent.
On the our wedding day, Peter was prompt and fully prepared. Our location in Central Park was booked and cordoned off for our ceremony. Peter delivered a beautifully and personal ceremony which made our wedding extra special.
My husband and I are very happy we chose Peter as our officiant. From our first call with him, we could tell he was experienced, helpful, and professional. He was very collaborative as we worked through the plan for the ceremony -- both the first time and when we had to reschedule due to COVID. On the day of, Peter was on time and fully prepared. He delivered a beautiful ceremony that many guests complimented. Peter has a wonderful voice and presence that are perfect for such a special occasion. We fully recommend Peter as a wedding officiant.
Peter was perfect! Engaging, professional, and an absolute pleasure to interact with. Within a few hours of reaching out to him, he had arranged a zoom introduction during which he explained the whole process including licensing beginning to end. On the day of the ceremony, Peter arrived an hour early and was the ultimate professional. We had our wedding zoomed to family in Australia and Ireland, in addition to a small group of in-person attendees, and Peter was so mindful of this. Many zoom attendees commented on how great Peter was at capturing the audience. A full five stars from us!
Enough can not be said about how much of a pleasure it was to work with Peter. Every word of praise he receives in all of his reviews are well deserved. He brought an amazing presence to our nuptials. His thoughtful approach, in allowing us to cater the vows to even asking what color our flowers were, so he could wear a tie that wouldn't clash, shows that Peter, is a true professional through and through. Thank you again Peter I & J
Peter was amazing! He tailored our entire ceremony (which was super appreciated from a couple overloaded with wedding planning) to exactly what we wanted. He was professional, flexible, and just a joy to work with.
When we decided to find an officiant off the internet, I was a bit worried about choosing someone blindly. When I saw Peter's site and watched the videos of him, I just had a gut feeling that he was the one. When my husband and I video chatted with him, we both had the same feeling and booked him right away...and our gut was on the money! Peter was responsive, personable, and professional for every step of the process. He really listened to what we wanted our ceremony to be and how we wanted it it feel, and he made that happen. He incorporated all the particular elements and wording that we wanted and during the ceremony...it did not feel like there was a virtual stranger up there with us, it felt like there was a friend. I think anyone would be lucky to have Peter officiate their ceremony!
Peter was incredibly kind and helpful while planning our wedding ceremony. My husband and I just knew we wanted to get married but weren’t sure what ceremony would be best for us. Peter helped us every step of the way and our ceremony was so personal and meaningful.
We have been extremely fortunate to have Peter be our officiant twice - the first time was when he was our virtual officiant for our online civil ceremony held via Zoom in October 2020, and the second time was when he traveled to Connecticut to preside over our symbolic ceremony in person in front of family and close friends in August 2021. Peter is an outstanding officiant and a wonderful person - his captivating presence, charm, humor, and quick wit allow him to fully command a room and set the stage for an incredible ceremony and memorable wedding for all. Our guests and wedding planner were so impressed by Peter’s passionate delivery of the ceremony with heartfelt, beautifully chosen words that they asked how we found Peter in the first place! We also appreciated how Peter kept things lighthearted and fun when the wind blew out the unity candle during our outdoor, waterfront ceremony by saying “Don’t worry - I can promise you this isn’t a sign of things to come!”. It is also important to note how responsive Peter is via email. He is detailed, efficient, and knowledgeable in each interaction throughout the ceremony-planning process. Being able to tap his expertise during a time of ever-changing marriage license procedures during the pandemic has also been incredibly helpful. Peter provided excellent recommendations for how to best structure our ceremony and patiently worked with us through multiple revisions of the ceremony draft. We could not have selected a more amazing, talented, and personable officiant for our special day and are recommending Peter to our family and friends for their future weddings!
From the moment we had a Zoom meeting with him, we just knew that Peter was the right person to officiate our wedding. His warmth, charm and impeccable public speaking skills set him apart from the other officiants we were considering. We felt heard and respected by Peter and he took the time to re-work our ceremony draft until it included exactly what we wanted. On the day of our wedding, he was prompt, arriving earlier than expected so we had plenty of time to ask questions and sign our marriage license without rushing.
The ceremony exceeded our expectations, clearly Peter has a gift. Everyone was blown away by his warm yet commanding presence. He just has a way of putting everyone at ease and speaking so eloquently. Our close family was convinced we had known him for years! We truthfully cannot recommend him highly enough; he is a spectacular wedding officiant.
My husband and I were just married last weekend and Peter did an amazing job as the officiant. The words he spoke made our wedding so personal, and he was very gracious when we had to move our wedding date during the pandemic. He arrived exactly when he said he would, and he was extremely prepared for the ceremony. He has a strong presentor's voice that can work with or without an audio system, and he was so professional and warm-hearted on the day of the event and in all our communications. You can always count on Peter! Thank you so much for making our wedding the dream that it was!
Honestly we are so grateful and very happy with the way Peter made us feel during the ceremony. Peter made us feel like we knew him for many years, his energy and the way he carries himself is amazing. We would like to say thank you Peter for your hard work. I personally thought that by us getting married by an officiant it would be a couple of words and that’s it you know ? But no Peter blew our expectations out the water. He went above and beyond to make our day even more special. It was beautiful. It will be a day we will never forget.
Peter was our officiant for our wedding on 4/17/21. From the beginning, we clicked with Peter. He was so easy to talk to and get along with. He was able to provide us with enough knowledge and ideas to make us feel comfortable with a person we never met in person officiating us. When Peter married us the day of our wedding, he felt more like a friend or family member. He kept the audience engaged and he officiated our wedding so effortlessly. We would recommend Peter to anyone. We can tell he takes his job seriously and cares so much about doing a nice job. We received so many compliments. Bonus - he also gave us a great recommendation for our honeymoon! Thank you so much! Melissa and Alejandro
Having Peter as our officiant may have been one of the best decisions we could have made. He was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process and took the time to understand us as a couple before crafting a ceremony that truly felt like reflected us. Even with multiple postponements Peter was understanding and worked with us to be sure everything went off without a hitch. We are still receiving compliments from everyone who witnessed our ceremony!
Peter was so professional and friendly, he made our dreams come true!
Thank you Peter!
Peter was just WONDERFUL!!! He was very helpful throughout the planning process and it was very easy to discuss everything with him. He also suggested options (which i personally loved) and gave ideas on how to make the ceremony memorable :)
We had our ceremony outside in Dumbo and I would not change a thing! Thank you, Peter, for being our wedding officiant! I HIGHLY recommend!!!
Peter was excellent!! We did our marriage license signing over Zoom, and he was absolutely wonderful. So kind, spoke beautifully, and helped make one of the happiest days of our lives so special. Also, really appreciate how communicative, responsive, and organized he is. We highly recommend using Peter...thank you so much again Peter!!
Peter was a dream to work with. While these times of COVID certainly make things different, Peter kept the tradition and love alive in our ceremony. From our first zoom call with Peter we instantly hit it off. He was able to craft a ceremony that weaved in Jewish and Christian elements with a modern twist. Buckle up and bring your tissues when Peter delivers the ceremony. He controls the room and captivates the audience (Live and Virtual) with his charm and wit. Thank you Peter for making our day unforgettable!
Due to the pandemic we had to restructure our wedding, which included needing to find an officiant in NYC. We interviewed with a few individuals but upon first speaking with Peter, we were instantly sold, and could not have been happier with the decision! He took the time to get to know us, and checked in with us a few times to ensure the ceremony was exactly how we wanted it to be. On the day of the wedding, he was professional, knowledgeable, personable, funny, poised, and genuine. Both my partner and I were nothing but impressed, and so were our guests apparently, since every single one later questioned who he was as they thought he was perfect. If you are looking for an officiant in the NYC-area, please, we cannot recommend Peter enough, and I imagine you will be just as impressed, grateful, and moved as us and our guests were. Peter, thank you for making our day just perfect!
Peter was great!!
Our Zoom wedding held by Peter was so much better than we could have expected! He made it feel special even during a time like 2020.
When we decided to get married if someone had said "That's wonderful! Why don't you do it on a Zoom call with a total stranger?" I think we probably would've answered with some version of "You should probably see a doctor about that." But that's exactly what we did and the reason it turned out such a day was because the "total stranger" turned out to be Peter Boruchwitz, a joyous, funny yet spiritual celebrant who guided us through our last moments of our lives' "singleness." Needless to say, thanks to him thecrazy world we live in now became far less so thanks to him and we highly recommend him to any couple looking for a similar experience. Marina and Richard
Peter was the best officiant I've ever worked with! (This is my second marriage, so that's not a totally strange comment. :) ) Peter responded to my online inquiry within an hour, and was very easy to work with regarding scheduling a time for officiating our ceremony. He has Venmo payments (among others) set up, which makes things super easy and convenient in these funny times. We requested just a license signing ceremony - no traditional wedding speech - but Peter still said some beautiful words to make it feel more special and less business-like, while still keeping things short and simple. We were also surprising our witness, and he asked ahead of time if there was anything he'd like us to do to have him play into the surprise, and then went along with it perfectly. Our witness was surprised and giddy with excitement for the rest of the day, and I fully attribute that to Peter's officiation of our ceremony. He mixed humor and sentimentality together beautifully, and made the day so very special. I will absolutely recommend him to other friends of mine, whether they're getting married over Zoom like we did, at a socially-distanced outdoor wedding, or at a bigger traditional wedding one day when this pandemic is over.
It's also worth mentioning that my laptop was doing something very strange, trying to pipe the sound in and out of my external monitor, and Peter was incredibly patient while I tried to figure that out (thankfully my now-husband had seen this happen before and fixed it when I called him over). Peter kept talking while we figured it out so we'd be able to know when the sound was coming through correctly, and laughed it off with no issue. Is it really a good wedding if *something* didn't go wrong? Haha!
Peter was fantastic! Our virtual ceremony was personable, funny, romantic and overall exactly what we wanted. Our guests all commented on how it seemed as if he knew my husband and I our entire lives. To all of those in search of an officiant, Peter will not disappoint. He is prompt in answering e-mails, pays attention to details and will make your wedding memorable!
Peter delivered such a great message on our special day. We originally “met” Peter over FaceTime because of the pandemic and even though we hadn’t met in person, we knew he was the right choice. We met a few other officiants before but the personalities weren’t a good fit. His turnaround time with emails is amazing and I’ve sent a whole lot!!! It was a very stressful time due to the pandemic but he did his best to ensure us that things will go smoothly. He sent us everything to proof ahead of time and made everything very personal. Our family raved about him afterwards. The officiant can add or subtract to the energy and the vibes were definitely good! He’s the best !
Peter was outstanding! (!!!). We went for the no-frills package but Peter turned it into a much more substantial ceremony by adding his insights and good will. He turned what we thought would just be the 'mechanics' of getting married into something quite meaningful for both of us.
Having a zoom wedding is a different experience and we had no idea what to expect. We are so happy we found Peter! He made the experience so easy. Our actual online ceremony was more than expected. Peter made it like he knew us personally. Our zoom guests said they cried, I definitely did. We had family from Ireland, Norway and Florida who were able to join us. Peter thank you for a beautiful ceremony, we will remember it always. I can’t recommend him enough! Engaging, eloquent, full of personality, sense of humor, personable, I can go on and on.

Mr. Peter was more than professional, he help us tru all the process with love and professionalism, Our online wedding was a dream thanks to him
So happy i picked peter he was amazing, funny, made us feel so comfortable (we was a nervous wreck) after months of having to cancel and reschedule our wedding we decided to just do it and he made the simplest of i do's feel like something from a fairy tale it was fun it was us it was perfect. trying to get married in 2020 lol definitely go with peter i promise you wont regret it.
Our officiant, Peter Boruchowitz, did an outstanding job on performing our union for the following reasons: Peter is a natural! Nothing felt phony or boring. He remembered small details from early-on phone conversations that were incorporated to make us and guests smile with familiarity! He selected a poem that was spot on . I would highly recommend Peter!
My Husband and I reached out to Peter to host our online wedding ceremony. We had to postpone our destination wedding due to Covid. We still wanted to get married and share something special. Peter, our wonderful and kind online officiant did just that! He shared thoughtful words that made our wedding day in our home so incredibly special. In a time like this, when much is unknown, Peter brought comfort and unity to our ceremony. His upbeat personality got us excited from the moment he joined Zoom, and he made the experience unforgettable. Peter, thank you again for providing such a wonderful ceremony. We appreciate it greatly!
The best!!! We were so happy with everything Peter composed and wrote for my husband and I wedding especially during this pandemic. Peter made us feel so comfortable when we spoke to him, the numerous emails I sent asking him questions and suggestions, he was totally the best of the best!
My wife and I absolutely adored Peter. Despite marrying during a pandemic, Peter made the experience really special for us. He was quick with responding to our inquiries and made himself available in such a short notice, stress and worry free. He was very charming and had us smiling the whole time. One never knows what to expect with making an important and very memorable decision on short notice, BUT I am so very happy we stumbled upon Peter and he becoming the chosen one for us. Even though we chose the simple "I do's" virtual package, it was everything that we had expected, plus more. We enjoyed Peter's services so much that we are having him marry us again, (this time in person) to make it an even better and extra special experience, involving our loved ones brought together, for a traditional ceremony, later on this year. Peter- Thank you so much again. You are just the absolute kindest and sincere gentleman. We are very excited to share not one, but two special events with you. Bonus and something to consider- We received our marriage certificate exactly 6 days later!! He means business.

Peter was absolutely amazing! Under Gov Cuomo's executive order for Project Cupid, Peter officiated our online wedding. He was very professional as well as informed, accommodating and most importantly on time. Peter is also very personable and everyone loved him. We the bride and groom certainly appreciated Peter's service and we highly recommend the services of ~Our Wedding Officiant NYC- Peter Boruchowitz.
Sincerely, happily married!
Peter Boruchowitz performed a really nice ceremony for me and my partner during the COVID-19 situation. We were married online and Peter did his very best to make the ceremony memorable for us. He even said a few special words about the meaning of marriage and the symbology of wedding bands. Thank you so much, Peter!
We had a Zoom wedding due to the pandemic. I found Peter after a quick search and he was our first and best choice. The whole hiring process was quick and easy. The ceremony was great. He’s really good at what he does. I would recommend him to anyone.
Peter was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. He was very communicative and made the entire process seamless. I can't recommend him highly enough. I didn't have high hopes for our zoom wedding, but Peter made our wedding day that much more special despite the circumstances with his heartfelt words.
My husband and I had a very intimate zoom wedding ceremony with Peter Boruchowitz. I must confess, I didn't know what to expect since its our first time getting married. I thought it'll be a quick "I do," sign forms and the boom the zoom meeting 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
Peter made our ceremony as romantic and cozy as it could be during this weird time. We had a great time, everything was just perfect. Even though it was said that there would be simple "I do's", still it was proper wedding ceremony with atmosphere 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
The Best Wedding Officiant in NYC!!!
The Covid-19 crisis of our time has had a significant impact on all our lives. With a world at a standstill, that one could never expect at any given moment all things had ceased to exist. My husband and I 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.

My husband and I were so fortunate to have found Peter 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.

Peter is the best! We had an online ceremony and Peter made everything very special given the circumstances. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Peter was very responses and was able to organize everything short notice. Highly recommended!
We contacted Mr. Boruchowitz asking to lead our virtual ceremony during these unprecedented times. Mr. Boruchowitz responded quickly and professionally and really made an effort to make the short ceremony an event to remember, which meant a lot 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!
Peter was absolutely amazing. Our original wedding plans were hijacked by covid19 but here came Peter to the rescue! With his help we organized and held an online ceremony via zoom in a matter of two days. Our zoom wedding had close to 70 participants and everyone truly had an amazing time.
Peter is a captivating speaker and can work a crowd like no other. Everyone was listening and smiling as he opened the ceremony, read passages and even included our virtual ring boy in our ceremony.
Thank you for making this day one we will never forget!
The ceremony was more than what we expected and Peter was great! He is very thoughtful and detailed. Very well spoken and precise. His words and his delivery are on point. We would highly recommend him!
We would thoroughly recommend Peter as a celebrant. He was highly responsive and a great listener who found the perfect balance between offering suggestions/ guidance and ensuring the ceremony matched our (initially somewhat vague) ideas. After 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!
There is so much to worry about the days leading up to your wedding. One thing I can confidently say was that our officiant was not one of those things. From day one of meeting Peter in NYC with my fiancé, now husband, we knew he was the only one 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
If you are looking for someone who will listen to what you want for your special day to make it truly unforgettable, you’re looking at the right officiant!! Peter helped us through the whole thing and was incredible on Day D! Thank you for this amazing ceremony, so authentic to true to ourselves.
While researching Central Park weddings, we stumbled across Peter from Our Wedding Officiant NYC. He has a series of videos that highlight popular venues in Central Park to get married. His presentation won us over and knew he was an excellent 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.
Peter was such a wonderful choice for our August 2019 wedding. He is so easy to work with and was extremely responsive leading us to the wedding itself. As you can see in his videos on his website, he is well spoken, yet loud enough for all guests 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!
After the wedding everyone commented that our ceremony was beautiful, and I don’t think we could achieved that without Peter. He is very professional and good at what he does. From our first meeting with Peter up until the moment he left the wedding 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.
Peters was brilliant from the moment we first made contact to the ceremony itself. He listened carefully to what we wanted and delivered the most beautiful ceremony with the most wonderful readings. Everyone commented on how lovely he was! Could not recommend enough!
It is very hard to know where to begin.
We spoke with a number of Officiants before we met with Peter. We liked him right-a-way.
He guided us thru the legal steps necessary to proceed with the wedding. He then helped us with suggestions as to how 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.
My wife and I wanted to elope in New York City. Central Park was a prime location for us so I began my search on several websites for officiants licensed in NYC. Throughout the process I contacted multiple officiants and Peter was the only one 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.
Peter officiated an amazing ceremony! He arrived on time, spoke very well, and we received many compliments about what an excellent job he did! If you are looking for a wedding officiant, we would definitely recommend him!
Peter was a wonderful officiant. He worked with us to create a ceremony that was multicultural, loving, and exceptional. We've been to quite a few weddings (though we may be biased) but we've not seen an officiant as good as Peter. We will forever 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.
Peter was the most amazing find for our wedding day! Coming from two different faiths, Peter wrote a ceremony that blended aspects of both of our faiths in a seamless and meaningful way. I was very nervous that not having a single faith ceremony 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!
