LGBTQ+ owned · NYC wedding officiant
LGBTQ+ owned. Every couple welcome. Joyful, personal ceremonies for people who want their wedding to feel less like a script—and more like them.
Love looks
good on you.
The whole point
I create ceremonies that sound like real people—your humor, your history, your chosen family, and the little details that made you choose each other. Tradition is welcome, but never required.
Meet your officiantMeet your officiant
I'm a Brooklyn-based wedding officiant, ordained through American Marriage Ministries, and Fletcher Officiates is proudly LGBTQ+ owned. I started it because the moment you say “I do” should sound like the two of you, not like a form letter.
I write secular ceremonies, and I happily work with couples of any faith, culture or tradition. A reading from your grandmother's favorite book, a ritual from your family, a nod to your faith, or none of the above: we'll weave in whatever feels like you.
Mostly, I'm here to listen, keep things calm, and leave plenty of room for happy tears. You bring the story. I'll help find the words.
— Tobias, Brooklyn-based
Ways to say “I do”
$700
A 15–25 minute ceremony
Your relationship, told with heart. A fully written ceremony shaped by deeper conversations, with personal vow feedback and a rehearsal.
$450
A 10–15 minute ceremony
All the meaning, none of the marathon. A warm, personal ceremony for intimate weddings and city celebrations.
$300
A 5–10 minute ceremony
Lovely, meaningful, and authentically you. Perfect for elopements, stoop ceremonies, and just-us moments.
$150
License signing only
Already planned your ceremony, or having a friend say a few words? I'll meet you wherever you'd like to sign, make it official, and sign your NYC marriage license. Quick, friendly, and paperwork done right.
Every package includes your ceremony, marriage license guidance, signing and filing, and reasonable planning support by email through your wedding day.
Standard travel within Brooklyn and Manhattan is included. For somewhere beyond, I'll quote travel before you book. Any parking or exceptional travel costs will be confirmed upfront.
Rehearsals: The Full Story includes one rehearsal of up to 45 minutes anywhere in NYC (travel beyond Brooklyn and Manhattan may add a fee), even on a separate date, scheduled in advance. Add the same rehearsal to Short & Sweet for $200.
Witnesses: Bring your own, or I can help coordinate one. Providing a witness is $75, subject to availability confirmed before booking; that fee is separate from your ceremony package.
Yes. That's exactly what Just the Signature ($150) is for. I'll meet you wherever you'd like to sign, make it official, and sign your NYC marriage license. Quick, friendly, and paperwork done right.
Just the Signature ($150) is a short, legal ceremony where I sign your NYC marriage license. I'll meet you wherever you'd like to sign, on the date you choose.
Absolutely, a friend can lead your ceremony and say the words. The person who signs your license has to be legally authorized, so if your friend isn't, Just the Signature lets me make it official.
Get your marriage license before the wedding. New York requires a 24-hour wait after it's issued, and it's valid for 60 days, so plan your timing with both in mind.
Yes, New York requires at least one witness. There's no state minimum age, but I recommend an adult (18 or older is required for ceremonies at the City Clerk's Office). Bring your own, or I can help coordinate one for $75, subject to availability.
I complete my part, sign it with you and your witness, and file it within the required five days, so you don't have to think about the paperwork.
Want a ceremony written around your story? The Full Story or Short & Sweet. A small, simple elopement? Elopement, Elevated. Just need the signature? Just the Signature. Not sure? Ask, and I'll point you to the right fit.
How it works
A relaxed video call to hear your plans, answer questions, and make sure the vibe is right.
You share the stories, people, and moments that matter. I turn them into your ceremony.
I bring the calm, the good energy, and the words. You bring each other.
My promise
I'll listen closely, make room for your traditions—or help you create your own—and guide you through the ceremony with warmth, clarity, and care.
