Long Island wedding officiant
Jim Hill writes every ceremony around your story, then leads it so calmly that you forget to be nervous and just get to be married.
Meet him first
A quick hello from Jim Hill, Long Island's award-winning officiant, on what couples really want from a ceremony and how he builds yours.
Meet Jim
He learns how you met, what makes you laugh and what you want your guests to feel. Then he writes it, you edit it, and on the day he handles the room so you can just be there. Guests regularly ask if he is a relative. He is not. He just did the homework.

Jim at work
Every ceremony, Jim is right there with you, keeping it calm, warm and personal so the smiles come easy and the day feels like yours.
Every kind of ceremony
Religious, interfaith, secular, second weddings, elopements and vow renewals. Short and sweet or fully personalized. You choose how much tradition is in the room.
Jones Beach to Montauk. Jim's voice carries over the wind.
North Fork rows, golden light, a ceremony that fits the setting.
Classic Long Island rooms with words that are anything but generic.
String lights, family, and the people who matter most.
Just the two of you. Still personal, still yours.
Years later, saying it all again, on purpose.
Handfasting, unity candles, sand ceremonies, family traditions.
Two families, two traditions, one ceremony that honors both.
“Everything we hoped for in a ceremony! He got to know us and to know what we wanted!”
