New York Wedding Officiant - Maksim Kondratenko, Brooklyn NY

Maksim was amazing, he answered all our questions before the ceremony and instructed well to make sure the process is hustle-free. On the day of the ceremony we were running late, but even though we made him wait for us he was very positive and greeted us warmly. The ceremony was very touching and we can’t be more happy with the wedding officiant and the memories created in that moment!

Maksim was our wedding officiant and we couldn't recommend him enough, very helpful from the beginning with telling us how to get our marriage license and good communication throughout and quick response to all our questions, Maksim had vows for us to copy as we wasn't prepared with any of our own! Maksim also helped us to find out if we needed the extended certificate but for those that are getting married in new York from the UK this ain't the case, the short version is okay. For anyone who is thinking of getting married in New York I do highly recommend Maksim!

Maksim is excellent! Before our wedding, he walked us through the process and answered all of our questions with knowledge and patience. The ceremony itself was a pleasant surprise - Maksim had a beautiful speech and conducted the ceremony in both Russian and English so that all our guests could understand and enjoy his wise and kind words. We’re very glad that he was with us on such a special day.

Maksim was wonderful. He did a great job. We were very happy with the ceremony he provided. Would recommend! Thank you, Maksim!

Everything went very well!)
From start to finish!

We had a wedding on October 1st and hired Maksim to do the ceremony, Maksim was very easy to deal with and even offered to do a rehearsal over zoom before the wedding, he did a wonderful speech at the ceremony and all the guests loved it. Thank you Maksim for such a lovely ceremony and all your advices.

Maksim is a very professional wedding officiant! All our requests have been fulfilled and the ceremony that Maksim performed was very personal, professional and went above and beyond our expectations! We give our highest recommendation to Maksim and will refer couples to him in the future!

Maksim was great for our wedding ceremony at the Central Park. We were impressed by his professionalism, excellent performance in both languages. He made our wedding unforgettable and we differently recommend him.

We reached out to Max with less than two weeks of the date we wanted. He guided us through the paperwork process and was able to accommodate the date, time and location. We communicated via messages and zoom - response time was super quick and we felt like we were important! We had a very small ceremony and everyone enjoyed it. Do not hesitate, Max is awesome!

Highly punctual, provided excellent service, well-spoken, and very professional. Maksim is able to roll with the flow - he performed our ceremony on the beach where we decided last minute! Would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs an officiant:)

We are so grateful that Maksim made our marriage official!
- Communication with Maksim was very smooth! He responded promptly and explained everything perfectly. On the day of the wedding, we were prepared!
- Maksim also suggested a few places where to perform a ceremony!
- Maksim arrived earlier and dedicated time to speak about the flow of the ceremony!
- At the beginning of the ceremony, my wife and I were slightly stressed (because it was the first time for us and such an important event in our lives). However, Maksim's speech made us calm and confident that everything would be great!
- The whole ceremony went with good vibes and many smiles! Not stressful at all!
- Maksim took care of the marriage license and sent it to NYC City Clerk.

Thank you so much for playing such a crucial part in our wedding ceremony! We would suggest Maksim as a wedding officiant to everyone!

The best wedding officiant! Maksim is a very polite, professional and responsible person. He is the only one who was not late for our wedding, waited patiently and did not swear at our lateness! A very charming and positive person who did not leave anyone indifferent at our wedding. We really enjoyed communicating with him, as well as this excellent wedding registration experience.

He was amazing, he definitely understood the approach we wanted to give to the wedding! We also planned the ceremony at a certain time, but we had to postpone it a few minutes, and he was very patient with it… The ceremony came to be perfect!

We’re so happy to have had Maksim officiate at our elopement wedding! He genuinely cares about the couples he works with and it shows. His presence and his calm professional tone have helped us feel at peace during the ceremony. His compassion and empathy were especially appreciated during the moment when I got emotional and a little teary-eyed. I also liked how quick his response timing was and how easy it was to book him. We highly recommend him to all the lucky couples who are yet to get married by Maksim!
