Hope Mirlis – NYC Wedding Officiant & Premarital Counselor
serving New York City, Long Island, New Jersey, the Hudson Valley and beyond!
It’s time to celebrate the richness of your union as you fully explore this exciting time in your relationship. There is so much unknown and so much to decide as you plan your wedding and your marriage.
I’m happy to help guide you through.
Congratulations!
Now put down your to-do list and take a breath.
As an NYC marriage officiant, premarital counselor and wedding yoga teacher, I’d love to get you ready not just for your wedding, but your marriage. I’ve created a practice to join the body, mind and soul for you and your partner.
I do that by:
writing and performing meaningful & unique wedding ceremonies,
leading couples through the process of strengthening their relationships with premarital counseling,
reviewing and helping you write your vows, and
offering a special yoga practice for weddings.
These are powerful ways to celebrate your love and fully acknowledge the support of those closest to you.
Love is love is love! I fully believe all couples have the legal right to marry. I proudly support the LGBTQ+ community and hold space and stand united with our BIPOC communities. If you’d like to take a moment during your ceremony to honor the either movement, its struggles and its victories, I am happy to do so.

Packages and services are available based on your unique needs. If you are looking for an officiant but no premarital counseling, I’m happy to accommodate. If you already have an officiant but want some yoga the morning of your big day, just say the word!

“We can’t thank you enough. You helped make our wedding ceremony everything we had hoped for (and more)! Our family commented afterwards on the positive energy you brought to the ceremony; we noticed as well and it made the ceremony even more special for us.”
— Eric & Shawna – Central Park
“Hope’s yoga classes are creative, challenging and energizing. A thoughtful and intuitive teacher, her many talents and interests are reflected in her approach to yoga.”
— Kim – Oakland, CA
“What really stood out to me: No one walked up to me and said the typical “It was a beautiful ceremony”. Instead, people said more thoughtful things like:“That really was the most fun ceremony I’ve ever been to!”
— Kelly & Gordon – Greenpoint Loft, Brooklyn, NY
“I cannot imagine preparing for marriage without Hope’s insight and guidance. She helped me and my fiancee navigate some very important (and sometimes difficult) topics that we would never have thought of otherwise.”
— Chris – Atlanta, GA
