Wedding Officiant

Wedding Officiant

lisa traina

My journey as a New York City wedding officiant began in 2011, evolving into a most fulfilling vocation.

An extensive background in theatre, event planning, banquet catering and administration has provided me with the tools essential in crafting unique wedding ceremonies, making them a reflection of who you are and how best to express your love.

Few moments are as treasured as those of your wedding day.  Through the years, you will reminiscence about the setting, the fashions, the food, the festivities, family, friends and, perhaps most significant, the ceremony.

The act of committing or recommitting to one another in a wedding or vow-renewal ceremony is an intimate and personal experience.  Selecting the perfect wedding officiant is one of the most important choices you will make for that memorable day.

It will be your ceremony, and I will be your guide, nurturing a loving environment as you express your love and devotion to one another.

what is your ideal wedding?

Wedding ceremonies are joyful celebrations that comprise a multitude of options, including the blending of different religions, families, genders, traditions and diversity. Your dream wedding can include any and all of the elements of a traditional or nontraditional service while incorporating the very personal aspects that speak directly of your own relationship.

As an experienced and trusted wedding officiant, I create ceremonies reflective of a couple’s personal journey.

what is your ideal renewal?

You cherish how special your first walk down the aisle was for you as a couple.  Moments and memories in your married lifetime are the fabric of your journey. The perfect way to express your continued love and devotion is with a Vow-Renewal ceremony.  Renewal Vows have become more popular as couples of all ages take time to reflect on their lives and the world they created for themselves since their wedding day.

The road traveled offers a wealth of ways to say I love you, again.

“no sooner met but they looked, no sooner looked but they loved,
no sooner loved but they sighed,
no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason,
no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy;
and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage.”

“To start, Lisa was on top of everything, even though it was last minute when I contacted her. I had a couple of days that were tough but she gave me great words of wisdom. On the day of our wedding, the energy that she gave me was of relief and relaxation. And lastly, the words and the blessings she said were overwhelming. I couldn’t ask for perfection but she delivered it. Professionally, she is amazing and most of all she makes you feel relaxed and peaceful. On behalf of my entire family – thank you!”

“Can I give more than 5 stars? Lisa is simply an artist and curator. My husband and I just had our wedding over the weekend. My family and I have read the ceremony she tailored for us over and over. Lisa works with you. She asks questions, and she listens. She has a wonderfully projected voice. Her presentation was elegant, confident and just perfect for a ceremony that needed warmth, wit, and entertainment.”

“Lisa was phenomenal at our wedding. She did a great job getting to know us ahead of time, and really curated the ceremony to exactly what we wanted. We had a number of guests come up after us after to ask where we met Lisa since they were so impressed. She also helped a ton with the logistics of the marriage license, which — with so much else going on — really helped quite a bit. Strongly recommend working with her.”

“There are not enough stars available to properly rate Ms. Traina! She made our son’s wedding even more special than it was by showing a personal touch that you do not see at most weddings.

“When we chose to renew our wedding vows and reached out to Lisa to officiate our ceremony, we were so thankful that she agreed to squeeze us in as her last ceremony of the year. From the moment we met Lisa she made both my husband and I feel so at peace and comfortable in her presence (especially because we were from another country and researched to find the most recommended person). From our email exchanges, prompt meeting to get to know the two of us and her beautiful suggestions and words throughout our ceremony, Lisa made our vow renewal everything it was and more. It is a memory we will cherish forever, and I couldn’t recommend Lisa more.”

Takes the time to get to know you, is efficient with your time to prepare (including pre-read documents that are incredibly helpful to guide you along if you don’t know exactly what you want at first), and delivers 110% on the day of the ceremony. Would recommend her to anyone and everyone.”

“Lisa officiated our wedding in the summer of 2022 and we could not have asked for a more fabulous experience! Lisa began working with us many months in advance, and took great care to make sure we built a ceremony that was deeply meaningful to us. There was never a moment where we doubted that it would be special, but on the day of the wedding, her presence, voice, and words were so calming and warm that the ceremony exceeded all expectations. We LOVED her and our guests are still raving about the service. Everyone is saying that it was one of the most personal, loving and creative ceremonies they have witnessed. My husband and I cannot recommend Lisa enough.”

“When we began working with Lisa we were nervous at first but she made us feel so comfortable. She helped us really make our ceremony feel unique. The way she told our love story made us feel like she truly heard us as we talked about each other. If you are looking for an officiant we recommend Lisa.

— caress & jake

“Working with Lisa was a key highlight of our wedding process. I’ve jotted down a few reasons. Lisa takes time to genuinely get to know you and your partner. You work together to reflect on your journey as a couple and she incorporates that into the ceremony. She makes you feel comfortable – like you’ve known each other for years during your video chats. Lisa incorporates your vision, personality, story, and her style within the ceremony to make it truly unique and only yours. She is a calming presence from the moment you say hi to her on your first zoom call to the moment you walk down the aisle with your partner. Beyond organized and professional, Lisa is a MUST for your special day!”

— yana & gabriel

“Lisa was an integral part of our wedding. If it wasn’t for her beautiful and warm energy, eloquent words and graceful presence, our ceremony wouldn’t be nearly as special as she helped us make it! After our ceremony so many guests came up to us to ask, where did you find Lisa? She was incredible. Lisa was extremely thorough, and she did a casual interview with us, from which she created a fantastic, sweet & funny script that really felt true to who we are as a couple. Wish we could get married again to bring Lisa back. Thank you!!”

— melissa & john

“Lisa is one of the most fabulous women / officiants you will ever work with. She is friendly, courteous, professional, fun, loving, helpful, endearing, thorough and all around brilliant and entertaining. She had a way of drawing us all in and making us all feel so comfortable and at ease with our roles and our vows. She helps the other officiants feel relaxed and totally at ease with their individual roles. Suffice it to say she is a dynamo that made our wedding ceremony what it was – SPECTACULAR. She rolls with the flow, she follows your needs, your wants, your suggestions. Lisa is an all around rock star. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for the entire family and anyone anywhere having a ceremony or needs a speech writer. Could never say enough about her!! I want to do it all over again just to work with Lisa.”

“We were introduced to Lisa through our wedding planner with a very short turnaround before our ceremony. What could have been a simple and pleasant officiation, Lisa turned into a very meaningful and special relationship. Through our conversations leading up to the day, she picked up on so many things that were important to my husband and I and wrote vows that reflected exactly what we wanted, who we are, and the life we envision together as a couple. So thankful she was able to be a part of our day. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“My new wife and I were wary of having someone we did not know officiate our intimate family-only wedding, but after a couple of zoom calls, Lisa no longer felt like a stranger, and in fact many of the guests commented on how brilliantly she blended into the event. She was very open to our ideas and had many of her own, which fused into a ceremony that fit us perfectly. Lisa knows the day is not about her, and yet somehow also has a very engaging presence. Highly recommended!”

Everything from her presence to the personal stories she told, to the way that she perfectly incorporated some light-hearted moments to set the mood.

“Lisa was the absolute perfect wedding officiant for our ceremony in midtown Manhattan! She was referred to us and it is obvious to us now why she was suggested. She was so easy to work with and was willing to meet with us at whatever time we were available. She was very interested in learning about us individually and as a couple which made our ceremony incredibly personalized and ended up teaching some of our guests more about our future plans. She also was so organized and helped to make sure that we did everything we needed to before the big day. The day of our wedding we were put very much at ease by the fact that she brought everything we needed for the ceremony including our personalized vows and our readings. She was such a calming presence on the day of the wedding and made sure that everything to do with the ceremony went smoothly. She is a true professional that we would recommend to absolutely anyone and everyone that is getting married!”

Apart from her professionalism, Lisa went beyond measures in making sure to grasp every personal, special, loving detail of us to ensure our ceremony and our day truly represented us. There was not one detail in our ceremony that was forgotten. She touched every sentimental part of us. Our guests are still speaking of her! Her guidance throughout our wedding planning process, her constant genuine caring, helpful advice goes beyond words. Lisa, we will forever call you our angel. We will never find enough words to say THANK YOU!! We wish we could do it all again with YOU by our side. You will forever stay in our family, wedding memories and lives forever!! Thank you!”

“We had the pleasure of Lisa officiating our wedding in May 2021. She is professional, warm, gracious and really cares about creating a ceremony that is unique and special to the couple. From our first meeting through our special day, Lisa put our mind at ease and calmed our nerves. She is great at capturing the essence of your partnership and has a wonderful personality as well. Highly recommend – also important note, her attire does not distract from your wedding or photos. Classic black, a chic New Yorker which I completely appreciate as those small details really matter to a perfectionist like me. Thank you so much Lisa for being a calm force in an otherwise nerve-wracking process. You made our ceremony truly special.”

We then had to move our wedding due to COVID and she was amazing with changing the date. Lisa made our ceremony so personable. It was so us.. funny, sweet, loving. People are still commenting how amazing and heartfelt our ceremony was. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant and partner. We highly recommend Lisa.”

“A Covid wedding with only 10 people is not what we expected for our special day, but Lisa made it perfect. Going above and beyond, Lisa created an intimate and romantic ceremony, with a few giggles thrown in. There was not a dry eye present or among the many family members and friends zooming in. Days later we continue to receive emails about how awesome our ceremony was, and we can only thank Lisa for that. It was absolutely perfect! Lisa takes pride in her work. She was a pleasure to work with and took great measures to learn about our family, making the ceremony that more personable and heartwarming. She not only made the entire process easy but made our most special day the most memorable and one we will never forget. We highly recommend Lisa. Thank you, Lisa, for everything.

“WOW, there is no better wedding officiant than Lisa. Despite all of the hardships and struggles due to COVID, Lisa was the CONSTANT in our wedding day. Lisa is gracious, kind and empathetic to her couples. She truly wanted to get to know myself and my husband and understand what brought us together as a couple. Lisa’s understanding of us is what made our ceremony so personal and eloquent. Amidst all of the craziness in the world, Lisa took the time to slow down, listen, learn and watch us as a couple. A few days before the wedding, my husband and I decided to do a virtual ceremony for all those who were not able to attend. Lisa embraced our change of plans and delivered a ceremony that was engaging to all those watching physically and virtually. It was absolutely spectacular, and we have gotten endless compliments on how beautiful and genuine Lisa made our ceremony. Lisa – thank you from the bottom our hearts!”

“From the moment we met her we knew Lisa would be the right officiant for our wedding in New York City. She took the time to really get to know both of us personally and to understand our story and transform that into a loving tribute that awed both our family and friends at the ceremony. We especially appreciated her kind and caring approach to details and her understanding that we had cultural values like our tea ceremony that were just as important to our ceremony. In addition she helped us pay tribute to those most dear to us that were no longer with us and honor them in a special way. If you are getting married in NYC, you definitely need to consider Lisa as your officiant. She is sure to make your wedding an extra special day!”

— devin & kendale

kendale-devin-Lisa-Traina-Wedding-Officiant

“If you are getting married and you are lucky enough to have Lisa as your officiant, your day will be phenomenal. My husband and I, as with many couples, had planned to get married in 2020. We were fortunate enough not to have to change our date, but many plans had to change. With that said, we chose Lisa to officiate our wedding and we literally couldn’t have made a better choice. Lisa’s love for love is evident when you meet her and the true joy she exudes for getting to know couples is rare. Lisa took the time to meet with us and get to know what made us who we were as a couple and that flawlessly translated during our ceremony. I am not a person that writes reviews, but Lisa made our wedding better than we could’ve ever hoped in a year that has made everything uncertain. Although one thing I am certain of is that Lisa will make your day unforgettable!”

“This was our third wedding plan due to Covid-19 and I was so grateful that Lisa was available to perform a ceremony for us as we made new plans to get married in Central Park, even with only a few weeks to do so. She was helpful and patient as we made our decisions. Lisa created a perfect ceremony. She really listened to our story and customized the ceremony so that it felt special and unique to us. Our guests kept commenting throughout the day about how impressed they were with our officiant- she seemed to really know us! Lisa was professional, organized and most importantly, kind. She reminded us that our wedding ceremony should be true to who we are as a couple, and we could not have been more pleased with our decision to work with Lisa and have her play such a crucial role in our special day.”

“Highly recommend Lisa as an NYC wedding officiant! We had a small New York City wedding in Central Park and Lisa was amazing to work with, even with Covid challenges. We had a Zoom call with Lisa leading up to the wedding where we got to know her and she got to know us and our story. She also talked us through the process and answered all our questions so we knew what to expect. Lisa made our ceremony feel very personal to us, made us feel comfortable throughout, and the energy and tone she set was exactly what we were looking for.”

“Lisa was astonishingly organized as she helped us build the ceremony from scratch and allowed us to customize and make the ceremony our own. She continuously helped ease our nerves with her expertise in the planning process and again the day of our wedding. She is especially calming, kind and professional. We did not have any amplification. Due to COVID the majority of our family was unable to join us in NYC and we had them on Zoom. Each and every one commented on how lovely Lisa was and how perfectly clear she was. We are extremely grateful to have found and worked with Lisa and cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Lisa for such a heartwarming experience to begin our marriage with.”

She is a great listener and a great storyteller. She engages all of your family and friends, while making the best day ever really become the best day ever! Lisa patiently coached Matt and me through two date changes, and then two ceremonies on the same day enabling both families to be safe and distant…(not an easy task). She did this all with ease, professionalism and incredible patience!! Thank you Lisa for starting us off on our new life as Mr. and Mrs.!!”

“What a magical experience for us to get married in New York at Christmas! We traveled from the UK and Lisa was recommended to us months in advance. We could not have honestly asked for a more perfect officiant! Lisa was kind and heartfelt with the delivery of the ceremony. She had taken time to find out all about us via Skype calls and gave us a wonderfully customized experience. She took the time to carefully construct the wording to give us the soul and romance that we were looking for. We would recommend anyone looking to take their ceremony in New York to the next level please pick up the phone and have a conversation with Lisa Traina.”

“Passionate, witty, sensitive, funny and serious at the same time – Lisa is a real Superstar officiant! When I was planning to a surprise renewal of our vows and I really didn’t have a clue on how to go about it, Lisa so expertly guided me and brought to life a dream that my wife and I had for many years. Lisa connected on a deeply personal level and so fully understood us, our children and our life story. The ceremony could not have been more perfect with tears flowing abundantly and I will be forever grateful to Lisa for having been the one to make it all possible.”

“We were so happy to find Lisa in our search for a wedding officiant! She is personable, calming, sincere and fun to be around. We appreciated that she “checked in” with us every time we spoke to see how we were feeling about the planning and preparations for the wedding, constantly reminding us to stay present and remain in our bubble. She wrote a lovely ceremony, and even shared her reading glasses with our best man so he could sign as a witness!”

“What was supposed to be a casual civil ceremony before leaving for our actual wedding in Paris became a magical evening. We honestly kept saying after Lisa’s ceremony that we could just go off to our honeymoon now and that our hearts were full and we truly felt married. She chose such wonderful, heartfelt readings for us that truly spoke to our heart and soul of our relationship. She continued to speak of us and our entire family as if we’ve all known each other forever.
Oh, and did I mention she did this in a week! We cannot thank Lisa enough for the beautiful evening she created and the memories that we will forever cherish.”

“Even in the madness of getting married in Central Park on Easter Sunday, we can both vividly remember Lisa’s words. She said everything we wanted our friends and family to hear and more. She somehow knew exactly just what to say and when to say it and made the entire experience all the more memorable. From the beginning, she was there for us, and made sure to emphasize the “us” part of the wedding. Whether we were laughing or crying, her ceremony was perfect and we wouldn’t want it to have happened any other way.”

“Some people leave a mark when you meet them. They make you feel you’ve known them all your life and you were meant to cross paths. That’s the feeling we both had when we first met Lisa. Her calm, loving nature, her kindness and her wise words filled our hearts with joy and a sense of sweet anticipation for our big day. Our wedding ceremony in Central Park was truly magical and unbelievably romantic! Lisa’s words about love, family and marriage felt personal, deeply moving, and made the beginning of our journey as a married couple an experience we’ll never forget.”

“Lisa really took the time to get to know us as people and as a couple. She made the process so easy, weaving together the perfect ceremony. She also did a wonderful job of incorporating our children and our families both present and departed into the ceremony. At many weddings the ceremony is rote, or it is an afterthought to get through so everyone can get to the reception. Our ceremony, thanks to Lisa was incredibly meaningful and a real highlight of our day. We treasured working with Lisa and we couldn’t possible recommend her more highly.”

“We booked Lisa to be our celebrant on the recommendation of our wedding planner, who said she was “the best”; and she was 100% right. Being Aussies getting married in NYC, there was no way to meet prior to the week of the wedding; but Lisa was 100% flexible with holding all initial meetings on Skype to make sure she got the chance to chat with us. Lisa’s on-the-day presence was amazing; she herself was beautifully presented, the ceremony she had written had everyone in tears, and her warm lovely voice was perfect for the occasion. Do yourself a favor and book this wonderful woman!”
