Officiant Help!

Hi Ladies,
Just wondering if anyone has used a family member that has been ordained online to officiant their ceremony. We are getting married in Jericho next October. I know the NY state laws about this are tricky. Just wanted to check before we asked my BIL,

Thanks!

Re: Officiant Help!

  • Laws really aren't tricky at all here - as long as the person is ordained to perform weddings in a religious faith of some kind (atypical "religions" like atheism and ethical humanism count here), the person may perform the wedding in NY.

  • I would be careful with this... b/c I *heard* it may not be legit. There's some course you have to take after you get "ordained" online... if you don't take the course and just print up the certificate online, it's not really valid. (heard from a friend's dad- not sure if it's true)
