We appreciated Tanya's help in making our wedding ceremony memorable and personalized-- the experience working with Tanya was easy and fun for us. You could tell she cared deeply about making it a meaningful, romantic ceremony-- just what we wa...
nted. Even just filling out her questions and in the early meetings with her, months before the big day, felt special to us. Thank you, Tanya!

Thank you, Anna! What a wonderful wedding it was! A spectacular day!
I heard Tanya on betches brides in 2021 before I was engaged and I knew that I wanted to at least have her be a part of the vow writing process for myself and my now husband. I loved the idea of us having a third party hearing and seeing both o...
f our vows to ensure we had similar amounts of humor, seriousness, and lengths. We ended up hiring Tanya to officiate our wedding as well and we were so happy with the vow and ceremony creation process. Nothing is one size fits all with Tanya and we felt every detail was tailored to us as a couple. She met with us several times individually to practice and coach us on our public speaking with the vows and even met with me the morning of the wedding in the bridal suite to go over it one more time. She is truly a professional and knows when to get out of the way for photos during the ceremony - she even sat on the stairs of our venue while we delivered our vows to each other! We are still receiving compliments on our ceremony and vows over a month after our wedding! Tanya was a joy to work with from start to finish and I would recommend her to anyone!

Mackenzie,
Your wedding was so special....everything about it was perfect. You and John were lovely to work with you and soooo easy!
Any questions?
Working with Tanya was an amazing experience! Tanya was so thoughtful and helped us to craft the perfect wedding ceremony. She created a ceremony that really captured us as a couple and felt very genuine. Tanya was so easy to work with, was ver...

Tanya was not available to officiate our wedding due to a previously scheduled wedding ceremony. She recommended her colleague, Paula. Paula did a fantastic job performing our ceremony. She was such a calming presence, and we loved having her as a part of our day.
We are still receiving compliments from our guests over a month later about how wonderful the ceremony turned out! We would highly recommend working with Tanya.

Katie,
I'm so glad you were happy. Yes, Paula is amazing..very glad to have her! Thank you for your lovely words!
A superb mentor!!! Tanya is very knowledgeable and communicates extremely well. She is always available to answer all my questions. It made my first experience as an officiant stress free. Strongly, recommend her.
Response from the Vendor on 11/05/2023
Ken, you were an amazing student! As a grandfather marrying his granddaughter, you brought so much humor and enthusiasm to this ceremony. I loved every minute of our time together!
Tanya was absolutely integral in the success of our wedding ceremony. She created and delivered the most beautiful and meaningful ceremony and went above and beyond to even help review our vows individually. Thank you so much, Tanya!

Thank you, Heesu! You and Jessica were lovely to work with!
We are so fortunate to have found Tanya to be an integral part of our special day. She officiated our ceremony and was so pivotal throughout our entire wedding. She was so timely with email response and truly kept my husband and I on track duri...
ng the planning process. She was always happy to schedule zoom calls without hesitation. I’m from a Catholic family and my husband is Indian and it was very important to have both of our backgrounds represented. Tanya was able to seamlessly assist us with intertwining both of our cultures. Not only was she extremely accommodating, but provided the best suggestions and advice, that ultimately lead to our perfect ceremony. Tanya felt like family by the end of our wedding and it was truly so special and fun working with her!
Response from the Vendor on 10/24/2023
Thank you both! I had such a wonderful time getting to know you and yes, you also felt like family...especially at the wedding. You welcomed me and included me in such a way that was truly not common.
This vendor that made my wedding ceremony ALL THAT! We loved our vows, felt confident reciting them and got so many compliments from our wedding guests who said it was their favorite part of the wedding. I loved how prepared I was after working...
with Tanya (and i know my husband feels the same). We followed her strategy for writing your best possible vows and it worked!
Response from the Vendor on 10/22/2023
Thank you, Bianca! You and Joe were a joy to work with..very grateful to have gotten to know you both.
Tanya officiated our wedding and we highly recommend she officiate yours!
In the months leading up, we worked with Tanya to craft the ceremony and she was always very responsive and quickly incorporated our thoughts. Many times she had the ad...
ditional job of interpreting our feedback and what we wanted, which wasn't always clear/cohesive. But the finished product spoke for itself and the ceremony was perfect and expertly delivered.
She also did a review of our vows, which helped make them similar in tone and length. This was very helpful!
It's clear that Tanya has done all this countless times before, but she made our day feel as special as it was. Again, we highly recommend her and thank you Tanya!

Thank you Daniel and Ariana,
It was indeed a beautiful day in one of the most wonderful locations. Thank you for having me part of your team.

Thank you so much for your lovely words! Very much appreciated!
Not sure where to begin…she was the first vendor we booked after venue/planner. Writing our own vows were super important to my husband and having a beautiful memorandum for those no longer with my family was super important to my family and I...
since we got married on a family anniversary of life. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house because of Tanya’s thoughtfulness and delivery but in the best way. My husband and I were coached through
Writing the most incredible vows and everyone who attended our wedding will remember our ceremony forever.
Response from the Vendor on 06/15/2023
I feel like we created magic that day! It was especially poignant, meaningful, and touching to be part of all of it with you both.
Our wedding was this past weekend and all I can say is Tanya was hands-down the best investment we made throughout the entire wedding planning process!
We were fortunate to have her help us write an incredibly moving ceremony, and coach my yo...
unger brother to be our officiant.
Tanya was an absolute pleasure to work with- she promptly answered all of our questions and was incredibly accommodating with my brother’s hectic schedule.
Even though we wrote our own vows, she still read them over and made sure they were perfect.
All of our guests kept raving about what a classy ceremony we had and how confident my (sometimes introverted) brother was!
If you want to build your own wedding ceremony, but still want it to be elegant and meaningful- you HAVE TO work with Tanya. She’s the expert.
Response from the Vendor on 06/07/2023
What an amazing review, Katie! I'm so glad everything worked out beautifully!
Tanya helped to design our entire ceremony and worked with our co-officiants to create the most beautiful experience! She helped us to balance story telling, religion and traditional ceremony elements. We also worked with her to write our vows ...
and she helped us to practice and feel confident. On our wedding day we had everyone in tears! I cannot say enough good things and all of our guests thought it was the best ceremony they'd heard/seen. My whole family loved working with her and we cannot recommend her enough!
Response from the Vendor on 04/24/2023
Working with your family was a gift for me, as well. What a wonderful time we all had together. A huge congratulations and Mazeltov to both you and Zach.
Tanya made our day so special! We filled out a questionnaire and were both happily surprised with the stories she told at our ceremony. She took all of the stress out of planning, Thanks Tanya!
Response from the Vendor on 04/03/2023
Telling your story was the best part! What a wonderful day it was!
I had the pleasure of working with Tanya Pushkine/The Vow Whisperer in preparation for a wedding that I co-officiated in February 2023 in Hawaii. The wedding was uniquely special for me because my son was getting married. Tanya offered helpfu...
l suggestions which enhanced the ceremony. She was persistent in working with me and my co-officiant to make sure the ceremony was entertaining, comprehensive, and met the needs of my son and his fiancé. Tanya was very flexible in scheduling our Zoom meetings, many of which took place in the evenings and on weekends. Best of all, Tanya was a lot of fun to work with!
Tanya is a great resource, and I can unequivocally recommend her as a ceremony advisor.
Response from the Vendor on 03/26/2023
Thanks so much Berney. You were a joy to work with. I always looked so forward to our sessions..thanks for all the laughs!
Highly recommend! When all said and done, my wife and I couldn’t imagine having not used Tanya’s service. Her process really made us connect with our love for each other and the many reasons why we’re getting married. The whole experience was s...
pecial and added another layer to our wedding. Our vows were such an important and significant part of our ceremony and with Tanyas help we nailed them. Many guests commented on how the loved them and most important my wife and I did. Many thanks, much love!
Response from the Vendor on 03/12/2023
I'm so glad to hear how it all went. You were both lovely to work with!
Words cannot express how grateful we were to find Tanya. She helped us create a very personalized wedding ceremony and more importantly helped us in writing our vows. We received so many wonderful compliments from our guests on how heartfelt ou...
r vows were. Her work with us in preparing us to read our vows during the ceremony was priceless. She also helped our officiant and readers make certain that their roles went off without a hitch. At one point, a week out from the wedding, there was a possibility that our officiant might not be able to perform the ceremony due to a family emergency. Tanya was ready to help and jump in at the last minute as our officiant. This is a true testament to her genuine caring nature to be there for the couples she works with. She is a treasure to all couples lucky enough to work with her.
Response from the Vendor on 02/14/2023
Michelle, you and Cris were such a wonderful couple to work with. I loved how appreciative you were through the whole process and how enthusiastic you were about the work. This was truly a pleasure for me.
Tanya was an absolute pleasure to work with. She officiated our wedding this past December at the Brooklyn Winery and it was just perfect. She is a true professional in her craft. So well-spoken and truly made our ceremony one of the most speci...
al moments of our lives. We received so many compliments from our guests on how the ceremony was so heartfelt, intimate and romantic. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you so much Tanya!
Tanya was great and was very helpful in preparing our officiant who was a good friend of both the bride and groom. Tanya helped the officiant go from no experience to a pure professional. She comes highly recommended for officiant guidance
Response from the Vendor on 12/29/2022
He was the best student! Totally into making this a super proud moment.
I have two reflections when writing this review about the Vow Whisperer (Tanya Pushkine) - 1) Working with Tanya elevated our wedding from one that was simply a blast to something that asked my partner and I to center ourselves, be reflective a...
nd vulnerable, and to connect with each other in the form of a beautiful, thoughtful ceremony that reflected our shared past, present, and future. This, in turn, created a stronger bond with and amongst our guests - resulting in a more meaningful and memorable day.
2) Tanya is passionate about her work. We worked with many vendors for our wedding, and out of all of them, Tanya’s passion and care for her work stands out. She worked with us to make sure that we were prepared for our ceremony, logistically and in making sure our words were well crafted and true.
Several months after our wedding, I still reflect on the power and impact of Tanya’s work on our wedding and am grateful that we found her and worked with her.
Response from the Vendor on 12/19/2022
What a beautiful description of our work together. This one was an especially complex, fabulous celebration, and being a part of it was a gift.
Tanya was amazing to work with! Super knowledgeable on the subject of wedding ceremonies and quick to respond to my emails/questions, which made planning our ceremony so much less stressful. Thank you, Tanya!!!
Response from the Vendor on 12/14/2022
Thank you! Always nice to hear of a happy client!
Tanya was amazing! Throughout the process from the first call to our wedding, Tanya was there to help make our ceremony something special! She assisted us in reading our vows and after the wedding, I couldn’t tell you how many people told us h...
ow wonderful our vows were! I recommend Tanya if your looking for an officiant!
Response from the Vendor on 12/06/2022
I'm so happy all went well....it was a beautiful wedding. A huge congratulations to you both! It was lovely to work with you...You made it all very easy.
From our first meeting with Tanya, we knew she was the person we wanted to officiate our ceremony. She had a genuine interest in learning about us and our love story. She took the time to get to know us and make sure that she too felt she’d be ...
a good fit. Once we made it official with her she kept on top of us to make sure we didn’t leave anything to the last minute.
She helped us choose our readings and format our ceremony in a way that was tailored to us.
She read over our vows to make sure they both flowed together. She provided HONEST and helpful guidance from day one, which we truly appreciated.
On the day of our wedding Tanya showed up early and was so helpful with our families and with anything that needed to be done. She was such a calming presence to have around us.
During the ceremony it was clear that she was able to draw everyone in. She kept both of us in the moment while reciting our vows to one another.
We aren’t lying when we say almost every wedding guest and our other vendors at the ceremony made comments about how amazing it was. They said our readings were personable to us, but relatable to all. They absolutely loved it.
We cannot recommend Tanya enough. She is someone who truly cares about the couples she works with. Our ceremony was so important to us, but we could never have dreamed how special it could truly be. Tanya was able to make that happen for us. Thank you Tanya!!
Response from the Vendor on 12/01/2022
What a beautiful review! Thank you so much for letting me into your lives!
We worked with Paula and Tanya on our wedding. They were so kind and helpful during the entire process.
The wedding was in NYC in Central Park and was absolutely amazing!
Thank you Paula and Tanya!!

The vendor was always available for any questions or help. The vendor was also on top and professional

Couldn't have done it without Tanya!
Response from the Vendor on 10/30/2022
Thank you, Philip. You were one of the most in love men I've ever met! It was a huge pleasure for me, too.
I highly recommend Tanya as an officiant and as a vow coach!! We were so lucky to have her for our NYC wedding. She made our ceremony the highlight of the evening! We are especially grateful to her for encouraging us to write our own vows, as w...
e weren’t planning to do that at first (but now can’t picture it any other way!). Although we had no prior knowledge of the other’s vows, our vows were coordinated and complemented each other in the best way, no doubt thanks to her thoughtful questionnaires and methods! Her coaching was invaluable and made the difference in making our vows the most memorable part of the ceremony. She also encouraged me to read the letter I wrote to my late sister as part of our ceremony as well, and I am grateful to her for that. Additionally, Tanya’s delivery during the ceremony was flawless, classy and thoughtful. She truly made the difference, and we could not recommend her more!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/25/2022
I was the lucky one to be part of such a wonderful day! Thank you for writing such a beautiful review!
The ceremony and the vows were probably the MOST important part of the wedding to my husband and me and Tanya helped us to ensure it was perfect! Her guidance and advice helped us to put our pens to paper and write the perfect vows. Tanya was a...
n incredible instructor when it came to practicing our vows before the big day and gave us excellent feedback and advice. Everyone told us our vows and the ceremony was one of the most beautiful they've ever seen and we owe Tanya a big thank you for that! The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because Tanya is not cheap - but she is worth it if you truly want your ceremony and vows to be spectacular. Thanks Tanya!
Response from the Vendor on 10/13/2022
Thank you, Callan! So glad. you appreciated that the ceremony is so important!
My husband is a high school English teacher, so I knew his vows were going to blow mine out of the water. In my search for "how to write memorable vows" I came across Tanya, and I'm so glad I did. She helped me organize my disjointed ideas into...
a flowing, articulate speech. She coached me in public speaking and helped me feel more comfortable speaking in front of 150 people! She even facetimed with me the day before my wedding, which really helped with my nerves. After the ceremony, SOOO many people came up to me and told me how amazing my vows were. Seriously, I think more people complimented ME than my English teacher husband. I'm so grateful I found Tanya. She was crucial in making my vows special and memorable.
Response from the Vendor on 10/07/2022
Anna,
We originally met so long ago before Covid and I was so impressed by you and your determination to make your vows incredible! It was a joy to work with you! A huge Mazeltov!
Tanya was wonderful to work with from our vows to our unique ceremony to being calm and present on our wedding day - she made everything so easy and perfect! She was able to take our two different cultures and create the most beautiful ceremony...
. Our ceremony was the highlight of the wedding thanks to Tanya!
Response from the Vendor on 09/18/2022
Your wedding was the most epic, majestic wedding I have ever done. I will never forget being on that mountain...thank you for letting me be part of this momentous day!
To be honest, my fiancé and I didn’t want to hire anyone we knew. It was a second marriage for both of us. Off the cuff stories or personal references was NOT what we wanted. After speaking to Tanya, she broke down the ceremony and offered smal...
l readings we could weave together to present the message we were hoping for. Not only was it the words and how they tied together, but it was obvious Tanya prepared for her part, with soft pauses and acknowledging looks that made us feel the focus was completely about us.
Response from the Vendor on 08/30/2022
Thanks so much, Lori!
Working with Tanya was so special! I can't recommend the experience enough. Even if you think that you are a good public speaker (I don't think I am), working with Tanya is much more than just helping you deliver your message. This was a creati...
ve process, fun, inspiring, and emotional. She is also very communicative was very flexible to accommodate times to chat in person or remote. Tanya's unique background on theater and the performing arts offers helpful insights when delivering such an important and personal message on the most important day of your life. An unforgettable experience overall. Thank you, Tanya!
Response from the Vendor on 07/30/2022
Working with you and Catie was unforgettable! I loved every minute of it! And your wedding was so wonderful.
Anyone who has ever planned a wedding knows how stressful it is, especially in the weeks leading up to the day of the event. When vendors would ask me what my “theme” or my “vision” for my wedding day was, I would respond, “us.” It was so impor...
tant that the essence of mine and my partner’s relationship would shine through the hustle and bustle of my wedding day. It sounds silly, but I knew that if I did not find the right vendors for the day of, that so many important moments I was so looking forward to might be overshadowed by worry. But with Tanya, I felt at ease, and she did not disappoint. She made sure to take the time to craft the perfect ceremony, decorated with words and readings that so beautifully demonstrated who we are as a couple. Not only did I feel relaxed, but the excitement I felt was unlike anything I could have imagined, and our guests walked away from our ceremony (even out of town relatives and family friends who we did not know well) expressing how much they now felt they knew us as a couple. Thank you, Tanya!
Response from the Vendor on 12/06/2022
I just realized I never responded to your wonderful review. Thank you, dear Elizabeth. I loved working with you....and what a beautiful wedding it was!
Tanya was really helpful with vows. Her questionnaire really helped me put my thoughts together in a cogent structure. I’m not great at expressing myself so her help really made the process much simpler and easier.
Response from the Vendor on 12/06/2022
Thank you so much....I'm glad I was able to help you get it all out!
Tanya was one of the keys that made our wedding an incredible experience. The work that she did with us to create and improve our vows was invaluable for each of us. She made time for each one of us to practice and get advice ahead of time, and...
was even willing to help us walk through on the day of. Tanya presented a wide array of ceremony options for us to craft our own special sequence as well. The net result was an engaging and emotional ceremony not just for us, but one that was thoroughly enjoyed by our guests as well. I recommend Tanya for your wedding preparation and ceremony without reservation.
Response from the Vendor on 06/26/2022
Thank you, Gavin,,,what lovely words you used...you really took the time to write a fantastic review and I so appreciate it!
We couldn’t have wished for a better officiant than Tanya. She is extremely organized, knowledgeable, and exactly who you need on your vendor team. From the first zoom call, she asked all the right questions and was very prepared. The entire pr...
ocess was so easy and effortless. She crafted a perfect ceremony for us and was able to gracefully handle any unexpected changes. Thank you so much, Tanya! We are so grateful you were our officiant.
Response from the Vendor on 12/06/2022
Tam, I am just seeing this....for some reason it didn't come through. It was a delight to work with you both...and what fun I had looking for unusual ways to do a few cultural traditions....which went off so well!
Let's just say the wedding guests thought I was a professional officiant. Some even asked if I could officiate their upcoming wedding.
And it was my first time doing it.
Tanya provided me with an outstanding script from the beginning, wo...
rked with me as the script evolved, and gave me enough space to also make it my own.
She was always on-time for our sessions, brought some fun and personality to the overall experience, and was a true professional from start to finish. She also provided me with just the right amount of feedback and encouragement.
I was surprised by how calm and prepared I felt the day of the wedding. I was expecting to feel more nervous or anxious. Clearly, the thoughtful preparation, feedback, and practice I received from working with Tanya made all the difference.
Thank you Tanya!!
Response from the Vendor on 05/27/2022
Michael, you took the job of being the officiant so seriously and with such dedication, devotion, and loyalty to the process. It was indeed a family affair with so much love amongst everyone....like I said, I have your new career all planned o...

Working with Tanya was absolutely amazing. She felt very present in our wedding story and process. Tanya took the time to get to know me, my now-husband, our story, and our families. She helped us not only write extremely meaningful vows but a...
wonderful ceremony. We did not have a religious ceremony so it was important to us to have a wedding that was still bigger than ourselves. She helped us capture our relationship, love, and commitment to each other.
Response from the Vendor on 05/12/2022
Thank you, Erin! Working with you both of you and your family was one of pure delight. You were all so wonderful to work with!
The ceremony was the most important part of our wedding -- we wanted it to reflect us as a couple and for it be as special for us as it was for our family and friends experiencing it. Tanya heard that and took that challenge to the next level h...
elping us write vows we didn't even know we had in us. Every small tweak and suggestion she gave each of us perfectly structured and worded our vows to help convey all of our emotions into words. She coached us on tone and presentation and so many of our guests commented about the fluidity of our vows, which was alllll Tanya! She held us accountable so we had our vows done weeks before the wedding, talk about one less thing to stress about. She was warm and caring throughout the process and really became a crucial part of our ceremony. We've literally re-read our vows to each other multiple times since the wedding and have already talked about a vow renewal in a few years! Don't hesitate for a second to call Tanya, do it asap!!
Response from the Vendor on 03/18/2022
This review is one of the most amazing ones I've ever gotten! Thank you so much, Daniela. Working with you and Jonathan was such a pleasure-filled experience with tons of laughs and I loved every minute of it!. You are perfect for each other!
We had a great time collaborating with Tanya about our ceremony and vows. We appreciate how generous she was with her time. She’s also an amazing speaker. Such an amazing presence reading at the front of the room. Our venue and DJ told us that ...
Tanya was a joy to work with. Would recommend to anyone.
Response from the Vendor on 03/16/2022
Thank you for your lovely words. You and Dan are both a wonderful couple and I wish you the best forever!
Just WONDERFUL. If you are thinking of crafting your own ceremony, especially with a close family or friend as an officiant, I would highly recommend working with Tanya.
A close family friend and first-time officiant married us over the weeke...
nd. Without Tanya, we wouldn’t have even known where to start. She provided us with an excellent ceremony outline while still offering plenty of options to help make sure everything was still custom to us.
When it came to the vows, we no doubt made the perfect choice. Tanya helped us get started with a questionnaire to generate the content we wanted to include. We worked together through a few iterations until we had exactly what we meant and wanted to say. She practiced with us via Zoom a few times prior to the day to ensure we were ready to go.
There was not a dry eye in the room during our ceremony. We really wanted to not only communicate our love and commitment to one another, but be sure that our guests also felt the love that we share.
As we talked with our guests throughout the night, all we heard about was how everyone loved our vows. They said how impressed they were and how perfect the ceremony was.
Thank you, Tanya!

Response from the Vendor on 01/16/2022
Oh, what a sweet review. Thank you, Cynthia. You were both so lovely and kind. And that wedding in the round was amazing!!!
We hired Tanya to officiate our wedding in May of 2020 in New York City. We were forced to reschedule, not once but twice, due to Covid restrictions imposed by the city. Tanya was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire reschedu...
ling process and offered to reschedule without any additional fees. As we had to continuously adapt our plans as circumstances changed, Tanya helpfully let us bounce ideas off of her and she was more than happy to give advice based on her years of experience. When the time finally came for our wedding nearly two years later, she helped us craft the perfect vows and ceremony. The process of writing our vows made us reflect on our relationship and brought us closer together. At our wedding, our family and friend raved about how special and unique our vows were. Thank you again, Tanya. I would recommend her to friends and family getting married.

I was very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with so many people on this wedding!
Tanya was absolutely the perfect officiant for our wedding! First of all, she is the sweetest human. She dedicated so much of her time in order to make sure that our ceremony was everything we envisioned for our big day. She also helped us to m...

Response from the Vendor on 11/12/2021
You and Hugo are such a lovely couple. Every moment spent with you, whether in NY or in Portugal was a pleasure. I'm so glad we got to know each other and that I had the honor to marry you.
We’re so glad we got to work with Tanya. She has this amazingly calm, gentle and gracious presence that put you at ease the moment you speak to her. As the perfect officiant of our wedding, she prepared and performed such a beautiful ceremony t...
hat we couldn’t have asked for anything better. She gave us a lot of great options to choose readings from beforehand, so we could select what we thought would go well with our theme and personalities. And as our wonderful vow coach, she made sure that we genuinely got to know each other as a whole and that we were comfortable sharing our story and practicing with her. The guiding questions she gave us to ask ourselves when writing our vows were so helpful in getting both me and my husband in touch with our memories and emotions, and we loved that in the end everything we wrote was our own honest words and thoughts. So many guests said they cried when we each read our vows because they were so beautiful, and we’re deeply grateful to Tanya for helping to bring the best work out of us. We cannot recommend her enough—she’ll enrich the way you see, appreciate, and celebrate love.

Jianna,
What a beautiful review you've written! Thank you so much. I loved working with you and Brandon...and marrying my couples who I have worked on vows with, makes all the difference in the world.
Tanya was the ultimate lifesaver who ensured my wedding was able to happen without a hitch! My original plan was for my now-husband's uncle to officiate our wedding. We had meticulously gone over the ceremony script, decided on readings, and fe...
lt nearly ready to go until two days prior to my ceremony. That's when I learned the news that my husband's uncle had a health scare (he's fine now!) which meant that we were out of an officiant. When I first heard the news, we originally thought we might have to cancel the ceremony altogether and go to city hall.
With two days to go, Tanya came to our rescue. She came recommended by our venue, the Wythe, and was in the process of flying back to New York from Portugal. I called her frantically less than 20 minutes after hearing this devastating news and she assured me on the phone that she would be able to step in last minute. She even rearranged her travel to ensure she arrived on-time despite the weather disruptions caused by Hurricane Ida. We shared the script, and despite the last minute request, she still took the time to review, take notes, and ensure she brought the same level of professionalism as any other ceremony.
When the day arrived, she came prepared and met with us early to set final jitters at ease. She event memorized several of my Brazilian family members' name pronunciations, which thoroughly impressed my parents.
The ceremony was beautiful and it only came to be thanks to Tanya's gracious willingness to step in. I would highly recommend Tanya's services to any couple getting married in the New York Metro area.
Response from the Vendor on 11/03/2021

Thank you so much, Carolyn. I loved working with both you and Casey and absolutely loved working at Blue Hill with Rebecca, All in all, it was truly wonderful.
Tanya is an incredible sweet and kind officiant who helped make my vows that much more intimate and special. We had a few preparatory calls with her to set up the ceremony for our elopement, where she was of great help finding relevant readings...
, shaping the declarations of intent, and adding in little personal touches. She also helped me shape my vows and prepare to read them, which I was somewhat anxious about, but Tanya did a wonderful job of putting me at ease. On the day of she was attentive and made sure to take care of all the license requirements as well. All in all Tanya was a fantastic officiant and vow consultant!
Response from the Vendor on 10/20/2021
Caroline, you and Levi were so lovely to work with. Thank you for being a really great student and thank you both for making the creation of the ceremony so easy!
Tanya helped make our wedding day so memorable! We opted out of writing our vows and instead Tanya suggested to tell "our story" and it was the best decision. We had so many our guests tell us how it was the best ceremony they have ever heard! ...
Tanya was extremely helpful and made the ceremony planning process so easy. We are so lucky to have found her!

d. So many of our friends and family have commented on how beautiful and impactful the vows we said to each were that day. Tanya also kept us on schedule and made sure we did the work even when things got busy or we got distracted with other details. I'm SO thankful I found her and I invested in this process.
Response from the Vendor on 10/20/2021
Justine,
When I first met you, I knew immediately that we would work so well together. The whole process with you, Matt and Jordan was truly a gift to me. Thank you for your lovely words!
Tanya was great! We hired Tanya to help us with our vows and with our officiant writing his speech. She was on vacation at the time and still made time to help us prepare. My vows would not have been as great as they were if it wasn’t for Tanya...
. I would 100% recommend Tanya for anyone who wants to write their own vows but doesn’t know how or what to say!
Response from the Vendor on 10/13/2021
Thank you so much for your lovely words. Even on vacation, it did not feel like work with you!
There's not enough good things I can write about our experience with Tanya. From the first Zoom meeting all the way through to our ceremony, she made what I thought was going to be the most daunting part of my wedding the easiest, most beautifu...
l, and most fun thing we got to do. Our guests were so involved in every moment (and they were LOUD), and Tanya is so naturally professional and has the best energy and way with words. She truly elevated our wedding day and ceremony in a way that we couldn't imagine, she was so highly complimented by all of our guests and I was flooded with messages after asking for her contact information to hire her after our wedding! What was also amazing about working with Tanya is due to the sheer amount of experience she has, she is truly able to make a unique, moldable, and customizable ceremony for any couple, no matter who you are, how you met, or what is important for you. For my husband and me, what was more important to us was the involvement of our guests - we wanted the energy and vibes to be unparalleled going into the rest of the wedding, and without Tanya we absolutely would not have been able to do that. We love you Tanya!!

Elise,
I cannot thank you enough for the words you've written. You have truly given me a gift. I hope everyone reads this review:). Thank you a million times and back for being so generous with the accolades!
Tanya was so helpful and patient with us. She helped us focus on timeless stories and our sessions practicing reading our vows aloud were invaluable. Having that objective third party to bring some symmetry to our vows made all the difference.
Response from the Vendor on 10/05/2021
That's so sweet of you. It was a pleasure to work with you and David and congratulations again!

ugh guidance without taking over the whole process, so it still felt like us. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for anywhere from a little help around the edges to full-blown ceremony and vow planning – Tanya does it all flawlessly!
Response from the Vendor on 12/14/2022
I realized I forgot to thank you for your kind words!
My husband and I have been attending so many friends' weddings lately, I have been reflecting on our own special day & all the aspects that made it so perfect. Our personalized vows were one of those things. We knew we wanted to write our own v...
ows, but I was a bit nervous about how they would turn out & suggested we hire The Vow Whisperer for assistance. I was so glad to have crafted our vows along with Tanya’s guidance and feedback. Any hesitation either of us felt at the start of the process melted away the moment we heard each other’s words.
Also, her ‘ceremony encyclopedia’ was such a great resource! With the help of Tanya and our officiant, we were able to cherry-pick ceremony components that felt the most true to us & create a meaningful ceremony with our own flair. We had a few guests compliment our vows immediately following the ceremony & I was in complete agreement – they were special, beautiful, and entertaining.
Response from the Vendor on 09/28/2021
Thank you so much, Robyn! You were both a delight to work with and I'm so glad you got a positive response afterwards. Your vows were beautiful and I'm not surprised you got all those compliments!
The Vow Whisperer (aka Tanya) was a great choice for our officiant and guide throughout the vow writing process. She knows her stuff, and makes sure that you as a couple put the time and thought into vow writing that they deserve.
The feedbac...
k from our guests has been overwhelmingly positive. Tanya really helped make the ceremony special without becoming the center of attention, which can be a challenge.
She was very flexible throughout the process and we ended up with something we loved and will remember forever.
Response from the Vendor on 09/06/2021
Thank you so much, Anne! I'm so glad the feedback was positive! I loved working with you and Emmett...it was a true pleasure.
Tanya was an absolute pleasure to work with. My husband and I wanted to keep our ceremony simple and untraditional. Tanya listened to what we wanted and delivered a beautiful ceremony. Would highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 12/14/2022
Your wedding was truly one of my favorite ones ever!
Tanya allowed me to express my thoughts and memories into words and my words into emotions. She allowed me to bring my 12 years of memories into clear and concise, yet beautiful vows. I have a fear of public speaking and her tips and coaching a...

Response from the Vendor on 08/15/2021
Matt, It was a pleasure to be a part of the surprise...all the way down to figuring out what hiding place you had chosen to do this!
Sadly we had to release Tanya 10 days before our wedding from officiating. She was difficult to work with, confusing in her email vs. in-voice correspondence (nothing added up), and shady when it came to money. We hung on for so long because sh...
e was nice and pleasant at the same time and we both loved her when we met her initially. At first, we overlooked small errors and inconsistencies to give her the benefit of the doubt, but these errors began to snowball over time. We were holding onto hope that this was a professional person who would come through for us as she promised, as we hired her, and paid her to do. Finally, enough was enough when we realized we ended up paying her more than double of what we were quoted for services. The money got out of whack and switched from Venmo requests to PayPal invoices. The entire process was confusing and when we realized it, we felt totally taken advantage of. Unfortunately there was no contract in place to fall back on. We would not recommend Tanya to our friends or other couples looking for an officiant.
Response from the Vendor on 07/27/2021
Carrie, it pains me to read this, especially after I thought or was under the impression everything was going smoothly. Yes, there was a transition to PayPal from Venmo when I stopped charging my the hour. And yes, there was a Terms of Servic...
e agreement that you signed off on....the same as a contract. Our budget was clear from the beginning, although you admitted having put a different number on the intake form. I went off of that number, as well as Anthony's range of budget. To do the work you asked me to do normally costs quite a bit more. And starting over from the beginning was also extra work I never charged for. You asked for three rehearsals for the ceremony that no officiant does. And I was asked a few days before and could only offer my true availability. I couldn't cancel on other couples. I could go on and on, but in the end, you were unhappy, which is very painful to me, as I have never received a negative review. I heard the ceremony and vows I worked so hard on were beautifully delivered. A huge congratulations to you both.
Tanya was truly amazing! I am not a writer by any means and she instantly took all of my worried and concerns away. She gave my husband and I a timeline and kept us on track to create the most beautiful vows. It’s almost been a month since our ...
wedding and guests STILL reference our vows. Tanya also worked with my mother to help her create a speech for our wedding which simply blew us away. Tanya even helped us rehearse our vows which made us feel super confident when saying them to each other and made the experience that much more special. If you are debating using Tanya‘s service, do it, you will not regret it!

Judith,

Response from the Vendor on 06/29/2021
Thank you, Julia. Those are beautiful words. Working with both of you was a gift.
Tanya helped me with a MOB speech. Initially I thought that she was going to help me write it and when she told me that I have to use my own words and write it, I was a little annoyed. But I put in a the work and she reviewed it a few times and...

Response from the Vendor on 06/23/2021
You killed it when you were practicing with me and I cannot wait to see it in real life on video!
Tanya is incredible. When I heard my wife wanted us to write our own vows I was beyond nervous. Tanya worked with me weekly and didn’t want to remove any of my own words, she wanted the vows to be from me. During our last practice session I tol...
d Tanya that the vows were no longer the thing I was most worried about. I was comfortable and prepared and got some many compliments after the ceremony. She is absolutely amazing and would hire her again. My wife’s mom also used Tanya to write a speech for us. My jaw hit the floor it was so moving and well written. I can’t thank Tanya enough for helping us make one of the most memorable nights of our lives, even more memorable.

hen the wedding festivities began we were feeling confident and ready. Our vows are something we will treasure for a lifetime - thank you Tanya!
Response from the Vendor on 04/26/2021
I absolutely loved working with you both and wish you the most wonderful journey ahead!
Tanya helped me and my husband ensure our vows were a complete surprise to one another. Due to the pandemic, we had to postpone and reschedule our wedding multiple times but the one thing I never had to worry about was the most important moment...
, the moment we promised our vows to each other. My husband and I are used to giving public speeches and we had already written our own vows so I thought we wouldn't need anyone like Tanya. But our vows are not speeches and I couldn't get through just practicing my vows without ugly crying! Knowing that I never had to mention my vows to my fiance before the wedding made it so special. I will never forget the moment I got to share my vows with my husband! I highly recommend every bride and groom (and wedding party!) include Tanya from the very beginning of any wedding planning because you're not just planning a wedding, you’re setting the tone for the rest of your lives together! Thank you, Tanya!
Response from the Vendor on 04/19/2021
Mina,
You and Jake were an inspiration to me. Watching the love between you both was such a gift. I never felt like we were "working"...it was a pleasure I will never forget.
As the bride, writing our own vows was something I had wanted to do for quite some time. My (now) husband, however, was not excited about the idea but agreed to it because he knew how important it was to me. Where does one start with vows thoug...
h? What if mine ended up being amazing and his ended up being something a third grader could have done better, or vice versa? Those thoughts ran through my head as the wedding day got closer and closer; he didn’t know where to start either. I found Tanya, we did a Zoom call with her and we hired her... During month 16 out of our 16 month engagement. She was the MOST flexible person I could have imagined, the SWEETEST soul and communicated BETTER than any of our wedding vendors. Her help practicing was much needed and more helpful than I imagined. Oh and the vows? Neither of us knew we would cry so much during our vows- but in all good ways. Our vows were perfect. Neither of us had better or worse vows than the other, we both had a few jokes in our vows to make the other laugh and they were the most genuine vows we could have made. We couldn’t have made them without Tanya’s help though- hiring her was one of the best things we did. Everyone talked about how amazing our vows were, including our photographer who told us some cringeworthy stories about vows after our ceremony. I could go on and on, but if you’re thinking about hiring Tanya, just do it. You won’t be disappointed and you’ll be as excited as me to print out and frame your vows for your home!

Krista,
This is one of the most extraordinary reviews I have ever gotten! Thank you SOOOOOO much! You were a pleasure to work with!
We had originally booked Tanya for our end of summer wedding at Brooklyn Winery but when it became clear that wasn't going to happen, we decided to do something do something small and intimate at our local park. Tanya was amazing with checking...
in and keeping in contact since March, and it was a no brainer for us to ask her to perform the smaller ceremony when the time came. Overall she was extremely open, flexible and receptive to tailoring the it to exactly what we felt comfortable with. Her delivery was warm and intimate and received a round of applause from park goers at the end! Would highly recommend.
Response from the Vendor on 11/01/2020
I am so glad we were able to do this and I very much look forward to the "real" thing as soon as the Winery can do what you are looking for.
You were both lovely and a joy to work with!
Highly recommend Tanya! She really made our ceremony special. Not only did she help with writing our vows but she helped write our officiant’s. Her service is priceless
Response from the Vendor on 10/30/2020
Thank you, Marta. You were amazing and to think we did it in less than a week is amazing!
Could be one of the best decisions of my life. First of all the Vow Whisperer took all of my stress away. Most importantly our vows were the highlight of the wedding. Everyone was talking about how perfect they were. I highly recommend her for ...
all weddings.
Response from the Vendor on 10/25/2020
You blew me away...5 days and we had you all set. You did an incredible job in record time!
Tanya is family to us now! She helped my family to write and recite our vows in a heartfelt and professional manner
Response from the Vendor on 10/10/2020
Thank you, Jeremy. Forever family now!
As a non-traditionally aged couple (we are not in our 20s or 30s or 40s ) and planning a traditional wedding celebration, during a worldwide pandemic, with all of the traditions including a traditional wedding dress, bridal party (grandkids), ...
and all, our vow writing time kept getting put to the side. We both struggled initially with hearing and writing out our own heartfelt feelings in the midst of all of the planning chaos. Tanya helped us reflect, write, and then commit to practice words that we now know will profoundly impact our marriage and carry lasting memories with our mates. I am deeply grateful for her many kindnesses shown to us and for being willing to tailor her services and support to our needs to get the “job done well.”
I have been married now for three weeks and have already had my vows quoted back to me twice ! No way would that have happened without her assistance!! Tanya helped us keep our essential task important and not leave it up to the last minute or from impromptu. I felt confident and prepared to say my vows, which helped me enjoy our special day so much more. I am so very glad this very important vow writing process did not get overlooked or short-changed as it would most likely have been without her help!
Some of the many comments I heard at the wedding, post-ceremony:
• Several Couples said how our vows “put their vows to shame.”
• “Your vows were amazing” many times.
• “You (Bride) were a very tough act to follow” several times. “I wasn’t sure how he (the Groom) could possibly follow, but he did. He absolutely held his own.”
• “Loved how in Sync both of your vows were.”
• Long-time friends each said how much our vows meant to them.
• Another recently married male friend said how he resonated with my (Brides) words about how, when I finally found my person, that no future time will ever feel like enough time for us to live our lives together.
• A college friend said she balled like a baby so hard she had to step to the back of the ceremony aisle so as not to disturb.
• Family friend said she knew exactly what I was saying in my vows when I said it was like my groom and I were old friends from the first time we met. She said she felt like that in her relationship.

Tanya was very helpful to both my daughter and son-in-law. She gave them a lot of ideas to work with in creating their ceremony. It wasn’t easy during COVID-19, but, it all worked out beautifully with with phone ca...
lls, and emails. Tanya was always available to talk by phone and quickly responded by email or text. We wound up having a smaller than planned wedding, which wound up being in our yard with immediate family. Tanya was awesome And patient with us through it all❣️

This was indeed in the middle of total chaos....it was one of the very few weddings that year...
Tanya was a fantastic guide for me throughout the six weeks I developed my vows. Her questions inspired me and her feedback on my drafts enabled me to fully express my thoughts, feelings and my commitment to my wife in my own words. I was alway...
s behind schedule, but her consistent communication along the way really helped me to prioritize writing and to practice saying my vows. I get anxious about public speaking of any kind, but when the day came, I stood in front of my wife and our community and spoke with confidence. I'm incredibly grateful to Tanya for helping me to do so.

Bobby, you were so into this! I loved how expressive you were and how committed you were in making sure your vows were exactly what you wanted. Thank you for being a wonderful student!
Tanya helping with our vows really made our wedding perfect. She was committed and never let me procrastinate or slack which was super helpful. People were blown away with my vows and my husbands and I definitely give credit to Tanya for that! ...
She opens up a creative part of you and makes you feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend the vow whisperer to anyone you will not regret it

It was so wonderful to work with you both!
Tanya coached our son and his bride on their wedding vows, both of whom are normally not eager to be the center of attention. She is a miracle worker! They both shined during the ceremony and were able to communicate to each other in front of ...
140 people, as if they were the only ones in the room. Tender interlocking of vows. A truly magical moment for our family, that’s as parents, we will never forget!

Anat,
Working with Matt and Christie was more than a special experience for me. Both of them really opened up and allowed me into their lives in such a way that I felt I knew them for a long time.
Having to work mostly on Facetime with them, on...
e could assume it would be challenging, but they did such a magnificent job!
Working with Tanya was very helpful and would highly recommend to people writing vows. Tanya was amazing. We were working from Different states and it came together perfect. Tanya helped give me and my wife the confidence we needed to get up th...
ere In front of all those people and share our vows. 10/10.

You were amazing, Matt! Blew everyone away!
We sat there in awe, my partner and I. We sat there in awe of the totally loving, refreshingly original and downright entertaining tying of the knot we – and one hundred plus guests – were witnessing. Two beloved friends were exchanging vows an...
d, simply put: wow. This was not your usual “do you” this and “do you” that ho-hum-I’ve-heard-it-all-before exchange. No. This was something completely different. The whole venue was electric, like it was lit from within.
My partner and I exchanged looks. Right behind the wow, we knew we were thinking the same thing: Could this be us one day? Could we be this poised, this genuine, this true to ourselves and – just as importantly – this connected to our guests? Because that was the real hat trick. It was the bride and groom and the entire room – and it was magic. Cut to: He asked, I said yes, and we immediately enlisted Tanya to guide us, coach us, inspire us. Simply put: we wowed. Thank you TP.

What a beautiful review! Thank you for lovely words! You were both such a pleasure to work with. And watching your ceremony was mind-blowing!
What a wonderful idea! At one of most important moments of your life, it is so great to have someone there to help you plan and, most importantly, put your love into words.
This is such an important service. For me a beautiful wedding is not about the food or the flowers, it's the sentiment, the speeches and the vows. Tanya is a fantastic communicator and coach. She has a gift for crystalizing complex, rambling th...
oughts. And the literary knowledge to cite Shakespeare or Adam Sandler. I am thrilled with the outcome of our wedding and I know at least some of what we said will be remembered, certainly by me and my wife. I highly recommend Tanya for help with this important moment.
My husband and I were not at all up to writing our own vows. In fact, we were going to use whatever formula our officiant suggested. But then we met The Vow Whisperer and everything changed. Somehow, Tanya was able to convince us that we real...
ly could do our own. We weren't sure if we could pull it off, but with her help and encouragement, our ceremony turned out to be amazing! We were both super nervous, as neither one of us likes speaking in public. Tanya coached us through our fears and was able to calm us down to the point that it was actually a breeze! We felt so proud of ourselves. The guests told us this was probably the most beautiful exchange of vows they had ever heard. I think all couples could use Tanya...she made us feel so comfortable and at ease. And our vows turned out great!
Tanya single-handedly transformed my wedding planning experience from stressful to invigorating, working with both me and my husband to craft vows that, during the ceremony, quite literally brought everyone in attendance to tears. The significa...
nce of a wedding vow cannot be understated, especially on an occasion as momentous as the union of two souls... and to find a professional specializing in such a critical offering... as empathetic, as patient, and as endowed with innate common sense as Tanya was, to say the least, nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Tanya. Thank you thank you thank you.

Owner
I am a former stage and screen Juilliard-trained actress, who transitioned to become a communications and public relations executive. My background played an important role in coaching leaders for presentations and public speaking engagements. Simultaneously, as a side hobby, I coached many friends in writing and performing their vows, as well as family and friends' wedding toasts. After my own wedding, where my husband and I wrote our vows, the amazing accolades we received prompted me to create The Vow Whisperer. Using my acting skills to help create the happiest moments is a gift!
