Shauna Kanter Weddings

We absolutely love Shauna… I was a little worried when trying to find a wedding officiant because we wanted a specific kind of ceremony. We were married outside, in a garden with 5 guests composed of our closest family members. No chairs, no «aisle» to walk down, no music– and non religious. From the beginning, Shauna made everything so easy. She was easy to talk to and came to our first meeting prepared with all the information we needed to make a decision. After meeting her in person my husband and I were both sure we had found the person to marry us. She asked us specific questions and really took the time to find out what we wanted so that she could craft the perfect ceremony. She also took care of the paperwork part and made sure we knew when to get our marriage license, when to have the vows written by, etc. The structure and specific dates she gave us helped us stay on track. We had unlimited editing ability (even though we didn’t really need to edit much) and we could email her at any time to ask a question. My wedding day was absolutely perfect. She told our story exactly the way it was meant to be told and made our wedding day go off without a hitch. Both of our families remarked that she was very poised and did a great job making everyone feel comfortable and included. We would recommend Shauna to anyone… She will listen to you and I think she could probably perform any kind of ceremony. Shauna, thank you for making the most important day of my life an absolute joy.

Shauna Kanter, our wedding celebrant /​officiant, exceeded our expectations and brought a special energy to our wedding ceremony. Even after just speaking on the phone, I had a feeling that she was the perfect officiant/​wedding celebrant for us, and once my then-​fiancé and I met with her in person, he couldn’t agree more. Shauna exudes a personable and warm energy, which was important to us in creating the kind of intimate, personalized ceremony we sought. She also has the experience, confidence and vocal presence to embody such a significant role that can influence the tone of the entire wedding day. Shauna asked my fiancé and I to each complete her questionnaire, detailing everything from how we met and what we love about each other to the vows and specific traditions and wording we wanted included, and she then wrote our personalized love story, around which she formed the ceremony. She was very open to our editing and very organized and detailed in all aspects of planning surrounding the logistics of the ceremony, and we are so thrilled to have chosen Shauna to be part of our day. So many of our guests commented that she, with her warm and composed energy made the ceremony so special and unique to us as a couple. We enthusiastically recommend Shauna to anyone seeking a wedding officiant in New York City to create a personalized and intimate ceremony!
