We couldn't have asked for a more perfect officiant. Julie really took the time to create a very personal ceremony for us - one that had the perfect balance of seriousness and lighthearted moments. It also felt substantial even though it wasn't a religious ceremony. -Although she will work with you to make whatever it is you are looking for. She was very easy-going about comments/changes, and didn't limit the number of rounds we could go on the script.Day of, her delivery was perfect. She has a very calming demeanor and was cool as a cucumber. She has a nice pace and great presence. We received so many compliments on our ceremony after. Many of our friends said that it gave them ideas for how they'd like to have theirs someday. I would highly recommend Julie to anyone. She's a real professional and extremely pleasant to work with.

Julie was recommended to us by Brian Friedman our wedding photographer and we couldn't have been happier with the service she provided. Even though we didn't meet her before our wedding day, Julie was in contact with us via regular emails and wrote a wonderful ceremony that was perfect and very personal to us. Also, thanks to Julie's husband Joe for filming the ceremony for us....we hadn't planned this but our parents back in the UK were delighted that he did!!We wouldn't hestitate to recommend Julie, you won't be disappointed.....Thank you Julie

Sweet, thoughtful, professional . . . just a few of the words that pop into my head when I think about Julie. She was the only officiant we met and immediately I had a good gut feeling about her and we were so right. She helped us created a truly personalized and unique wedding ceremony to capture our Jewish and Persian backgrounds. We had SO many compliments on her eloquent speaking, the warmth the ceremony provided, and the overall flow of the it all. Without a doubt, we would recommend her to anyone. Her caring ways are shown by her responsiveness and ability to incorporate a ceremony that is simply what you want it to be and more. We loved every bit of it, and our so grateful to Julie. Thank you, a million times over. Yalda, NYCPS Take time to complete her questionnaire.

Julie did an amazing job with our ceremony. We had an interfaith wedding, where we wanted to include both traditions. Julie did an amazing job bringing both religions together, as well as making it a very personal and beautiful ceremony.

From the first meeting with Julie we knew she would be the officiant we were looking for. She told us we would see our draft ceremony from first draft to last and be able add/revise/delete whatever we wanted. Her couples questionnaire really helps her learn about the both of you and create the perfect ceremony. Since this is a 2nd marraige, we wanted to include our daughters. Julie gave us ideas on how to include them. Our ceremony was perfect, exactly as we imagined, mix of humor and love. Everyone told us that it was the best ceremony they had ever attended. Julie was perfect. I highly recommend her to anyone getting married.

Julie is a lovely lady who is very professional. She was the only one of three celebrants whom I contacted who replied with professionalism, courtesy and all the essential information we needed for our wedding in NYC. I knew at that moment we would receive a wonderful service. She also recommended a fantastic photographer (Brian Freedman) who took the most amazing photos.Julie conducted our intimate ceremony with a love for sharing these special moments in life, she bought the words of our ceremony to life and was an essential component of the best day ever!. Thank you Julie!

As we were from the UK and were getting married in New York, the most important aspect for us was having confidence and trust in our wedding officiant and were immediately put at ease when Julie helped us put together our perfect ceremony. The ceremony was so personal and special to us and we could not have created this without Julie.

Julie was amazing! From the beginning she was very helpful in giving suggestions and direction for the ceremony! The ceremony she wrote was beautiful and really touching for all the friends and family who were there, and of course the Bride and Groom! Even at the 11th hour there was a problem with our ceremony site, and Julie was extremely helpful in helping us find a solution to the problem!! She did an amazing job, and really took the wedding to another level! She was more like a family member, or close friend, rather than just the officiant of that day!

When my husband Matthew and I were planning our wedding back on April 30, 2011, my mom read an amazing article in the local Staten Island Advance newspaper about Julie Laudicina and how she had been officiating many wedding. When Matt and I met with Julie a few months before our wedding, we felt so comfortable with her and she went over how the officiating profess works. About 3 months prior to our wedding, Julie sent both of us questionarie that we both filled out about our love story and what we want for our marriage. A month after finishing the questions, Julie sent us a draft of what she would read at the wedding. I cried like a baby. She wrote an amazing wedding script and with a few changes, it was perfect. Julie also helped us put together our wedding program. On the wedding day, Julie met us an hour before the ceremony to give a run down of the ceremony. Once the ceremony started, to finally hear Julie read the ceremony script was amazing. It felt as if Julie really knew Matt and I and our guest were very impressed how she make the whole ceremony personal to us. Julie incorporated parts into our vows that were special to us and was open to hear our suggestions and ideas. Another part of the ceremony people enjoyed was when she included all our guest to answer questions about letting Matt and I into their lives and reminding them of our wedding day. Julie was professional, kept to a timeline/schedule, warm, kind and amazing. Matthew and I highly recommend Julie to anyone who needs an officiant for their wedding. After speaking or meeting once with Julie, she will blow you away with just how amazing and professional is she. Thanks again for being our officiant and if you are looking for an amazing officiant, Julie Laudicina is the best officiant anyone can ask for.

Julie was brilliant. She was so helpful from start to finish. The ceremony which was extremely personal was very well written by Julie, and brought tears to our eyes. We eloped from the UK and so Julie invited friends and family to send greetings which was a really lovely touch. She then sent them a photograph after the ceremony which everybody really apprecaited. I can't praise Julie enough she is great! Highly recommended.

Julie made sure she included us every step of the way, showed us rough drafts of the service and encouraged us to add to it, make corrections.We gave her just over a week to put together our wedding and she did a fantastic job and more. My husband & I are buddhist and she incorporated our beliefs into our ceromony.Since our wedding was so small, she made a wonderful suggestion to tie our wedding rings together and pass them around to our guests, so that they could be included. We enjoyed her husband Joe as well; you get 2 for the price of 1!

Julie was very open to ideas and offering so unique ideas for a wedding ceremony. Her readings and presentation were off the charts outstanding. Even boasted they had never seen such a nice ceremony and she even had the men crying and saying it was so touching to share in those moments. She is caring and it just pours out in all her work.

We live in the UK and had arranged to meet some New York wedding officiants, Julie being one of them. We met with Julie and her husband Joe. It was a very easy decision to use Julie as our wedding officiant because from the moment we met, Julie put us both completely at ease and we knew that we would be in safe hands! This proved true both on the run up to our wedding and on the day itself. We were able to create a very personal ceremony and set of vows – Julie’s suggestions and advice combined with our personal input made for the unique ceremony we wanted. Our guests only had positive comments to make and they also said that the words we used spoke volumes about how we felt about each other. Many said it was the nicest ceremony that they had attended. Julie was very relaxed - this was very reassuring and helped us lose (most!) of our nerves during the ceremony and her directions helped to guide us through the afternoon. We cannot thank Julie enough for how easy she made every aspect of our ceremony and would recommend, without hesitation, that anyone else use her as their officiant.Mark & Lyn Johnstone

Julie was our officiant who married us. Julie is a breath of fresh air. She is really lovely & professional. We got so many compliments from our guests during our ceremony. Julie made our wedding day special. She took our love story & made our ceremony vows based on our love which is unique compared to the original old fashioned church vows. We based our marriage on the reasons why we really love each other & why we want to spend the rest of our lives together. The exact words people told us was that our wedding ceremony was beautiful & who was that lady that married you? She was great. Julie did a fabulous job & I highly recommend anyone to use her for their wedding.Sincerely Megan & Philip Saccio - 9.18.10

Myself and my husband always said that on our 10th wedding Anniversary,we would like to renew our wedding vows,so when our Anniversary came around in August of this year,we decided to renew our vows in NYC,we had no idea of what steps we had to take,or what paper work was involved,if any,then we found Julie on her web site,and it was plane sailing from then on,there was no stress,and she was always available to talk to,I even spoke with her on her home phone,Julie was also very flexible in when the ceremony would take place as regards to the weather as our ceremony was in Central Park,so if it gave out bad weather for our day,Julie was very flexible to work around our holiday,the day and ceremony couldn't have been better,everything was just how we wanted it to be,relaxed,informal,and about myself and my husband.I would not hesitate in recommending Julie to anyone who were considering having a wedding ceremony in NYC,it was a pleasure to meet her and her loverly husband Joe,we will never forget them,or our ceremony day.Regards,Wendy,Darren Peake.
