Testimonials

Dori Balo

"It was a beautiful ceremony!
Everything was exactly as the young couple (and I, as the organizer 😉😊) had envisioned it. During the ceremony, Otti showed her versatility: there was lots of laughter, touching moments, wise words, an abundance of love, and she brilliantly reflected the personalities of the bride and groom.

Organizing a wedding is quite a complex task, and we were so grateful that we could entrust the ceremony part to Otti with complete peace of mind.

Thank you for always replying immediately, for being punctual, open, and flexible with every request or question we had — and for the time, energy, and dedication you put in to make sure everything was perfect on the big day.
If you’re planning to get married, I wholeheartedly recommend Otti’s professional services."

Kat Kolinkas

"We attended our best friend's wedding where Ottilia was the officiant, and we knew right away that we wanted her to be ours for our wedding. The thought of just going to city hall for the ceremony wasn't so appealing since we wanted something more personal and touching.

We wanted something different for our big day, and we decided to marry at one of our favorite spots in NYC ,The Grand Central Station. Ottilia was very helpful and cooperative with our extraordinary request. Before the ceremony, we had a nice conversation about how we met , our love story . She also asked in detail what kind of speech she should prepare for? More heartfelt and emotional, but with little humor included.

When the big day came, she was spot on with her speech, making our ceremony special and memorable. I am thinking back, and it was one of the happiest days in my life ! I would highly recommend her if you ever need an officiate who can make your wedding day even more beautiful!"

"We had a small wedding ceremony in Central Park, and Ottilia was absolutely wonderful.

She was incredibly kind, patient, and flexible — especially with our last-minute changes in guest numbers and timing. She waited without any complaint and made sure everything felt relaxed and joyful once we started.

The ceremony itself was both heartfelt and funny, perfectly matching our personalities. We’re so grateful she helped make our day feel so special and easygoing. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a warm and genuine officiant!"

"Ottilia did a fantastic job on our wedding day. The ceremony was heartfelt, friendly, and intimate — exactly how we imagined it. From the very first meeting, it was clear how attentive and genuinely interested she was in our relationship and love story, making every effort to create a ceremony that felt truly personal to us.

We especially appreciated that she held the ceremony in two languages — Hungarian and English — so all of our guests could fully experience the moment. This thoughtful touch made the day even more special.

Even though our wedding was small, shared only with close family and friends, it became an unforgettable and magical experience. Ottilia’s professionalism, kindness, and dedication played a huge role in that.

We can only recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, passionate, and truly devoted wedding officiate ."

Kornel Demeter

"We were absolutely satisfied with the service. Ottilia chose the perfect location, supported us throughout the entire process, and helped with everything we needed. Her speech was both professionally prepared and deeply moving. We felt we were in the best hands from start to finish.

We renewed our 25-year wedding vows at a beautiful location in New York, and apart from showing up, we didn’t have to do a single thing — Ottilia took care of everything.

Her local knowledge, adaptability, and previous work convinced me to choose her, and it turned out to be an excellent decision.

An event this important deserves to be entrusted to the right hands."
