Susan created the most beautiful and personal ceremony for us. We couldn't be happier!

Susan worked with us to put together a beautiful ceremony that was unique to us. All of my guests said that it was one of the best wedding ceremonies that they have ever attended.

Susan is a truly nice, professional, kind woman with a great personality...and we are so happy we selected her as an officiant for our recent wedding. She made the process of deciding what type of ceremony we wanted very easy and had some wonderful suggestions for us. Honestly everyone that attended our ceremony said it was one of the best they had been too--and that made me feel great because we worked with Susan to make it our own and one that we felt incredibly comfortable with. We highly recommend her as we feel she did a superb job!

Susan was great to work with in the weeks prior to the wedding and on the actual day of the event. I'm still getting compliments from family and friends about how personal and warm she made the ceremony. Thank you Susan! I highly recommend . . .

Susan is great. She adds very personal touches to the ceremony to make it unique. She is hardworking and really puts in the extra effort to make sure you are happy.

We were extremely lucky to have found Susan Turchin! We are both artists and had tons of creative ideas of what we wanted in our ceremony but no real knowledge as to how to create our vision. We wanted a ceremony that was filled with gratitude and reverence without being religious. We met with Susan, and within an hour she had found out so much information about us as a couple and as individuals that we felt like she really knew us and she very easily took our ideas and quickly helped us create our ceremony together. It was fun and seamless. She then wrote up a beautiful script and fully helped us create our vision. On the day of our ceremony, it was so nice to have Susan there. She was completely calm and immensely helpful. We never had to worry about anything where the ceremony was concerned; we knew she had it totally under control. At the ceremony, she was eloquent, personable and genuine as she spoke about us and what was important in our lives and relationship. She is one of the things our guests continue to praise when they talk about our amazing wedding day. We were very lucky to have her and would recommend her to anyone.

Me and my wife used Susan for our wedding back in May and she was wonderful. We threw some changes in the service her way- to make it more personal- basically the day before the wedding and we were both very happy with how she rolled with the punches. The service was great. We had questions for her a few weeks prior to our wedding and she responded very quickly despite being out of the country. With all that aside, we really connected with Susan and she made us extremely comfortable. It was evident that she really cared that we had the wedding we wanted.

I am convinced that when planning the most important day of your life, it is just as important that all people who are a part of it - should be ones you enjoy being around. Susan was just that kind of person for us - she was very calm, professional, she knew her way around our venue and you just knew she had things under control. While all these qualities may be crucial when you are planning a big event, there are some that are just as important when you are planning a small, intimate event like the one we had. We did not have dancing or a big wedding reception planned, so the ceremony itself was the most important part of our event and we wanted to make it extra special and very personal. Susan helped us do just that - she greeted us warmly for a meeting months before the ceremony, she was creative and very excited to incorporate interesting rituals from my home country. She asked us questions that helped her frame our experiences and feelings into a beautiful story. What is more - she inspired us to put into words things we had never attempted to phrase before. All her efforts truly showed during our wedding day - when we, along with our families and friends all felt that the ceremony truly was the most memorable part of the day - and rightfully so. Thank you, Susan!

Working with Susan was wonderful. We were challenged with a very mixed bag of religions between our families, and Susan was able to create a beautiful, secular ceremony that felt very spiritual and traditional. She was always on time, very diligent with all our paperwork, and a real pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her!

Susan was an added bonus to our wedding ceremony. She spent the time with us prior to the ceremony to get to know us and it really showed in what she said at the ceremony. The day was perfect and our families loved the ceremony as well.

Rev. Susan made our wedding a truly magical, memorable event. She really worked to tailor the ceremony to us... our feelings for each other, our family and friends, and our spiritual needs. She was there every step of the way, offering her expertise and time for any questions or concerns we had. She was more than willing to work with our ideas. And on the evening of the service itself, she was brilliant. Everyone loved her and many people commented that it was the most meaningful ceremony they had ever witnessed. We recommend Rev. Susan 110%. Michael Schultz and Chad Hudson (married 9/24/11)

Susan was so sweet and kind from the first time we met her. She listened to our story and took notes on every single detail we told her. When she sent us the first draft of our vows it was almost perfect, just a few little words here and there were revised. Leading up to the wedding were in always in contact and on our wedding day she was very calm which made the whole ceremony relaxed. She even helped me with my bustle!! Susan is a great person and we thank her for being part of our special day.

Susan is wonderful to work with. She tailored a creative ceremony for us that integrated our diverse backgrounds and different faiths. We learned a lot about wedding rituals that we incorporated into our ceremony which gave an extra dimension of meaning. Susan has a great eye for detail, patience, and depth of knowledge. We received many compliments and are very happy with our experience with Susan.

Susan helped create a wonderful ceremony that included my 5 year old daughter and got rave reviews from our guests. They loved how the ceremony reflected our individual vows, as well as the sand ceremony which represented how we are all a family now. Susan did a great job of keeping me relaxed and also helped with little details that were not expected of her. She was helpful at making sure the family got the corsages and offered help to make the day run smoothly. I highly recommend Susan to help make your wedding ceremony truly your own. She will listen to your requests and incorporate elements that are important to you and your future spouse.

Susan did a great job for our marriage ceremony, which took place in Central Park. My husband and I were unsure about exactly where we wanted the ceremony, exactly when, exactly who would be there to witness it, and if we would write our own vows! I informed Susan on the morning of the wedding that we did not write our own vows, and she went with it! It was a beautiful ceremony - really a perfect day - and Susan helped set that tone.

We loved working with Susan as our officiant! She really took the time to get to know us and our ceremony was completely personalized to us and our relationship. We wanted a non-religious ceremony and Susan did a wonderful job. Susan was so easy to work with and really incorporated aspects from our culture and from what we had said about each other and how we felt about each other into the ceremony, which made it truly special and unique. Everyone thought it was such a beautiful ceremony and we can't thank her enough! We highly recommend Susan!

Being both non-religious, it took us some time to even start looking for an officiant. It seemed like such a daunting process. But then we came across Susan Turchin here on WeddingWire. After both Jon and I spent hours on the phone with Susan, we knew she was the perfect choice. Susan really captured the essence of us in our ceremony, even introducing new ideas into our ceremony which our guests were very touched by. She took time to meet with us via phone and in person to make sure we were completely comfortable with her and the ceremony she had written for us. At our wedding, Susan was a joy. She is a great speaker and a warm person, engaging us and our guests. We highly recommend Susan to any couple.

Susan conducted a renewing of our vows on our tenth wedding anniversary and we cant say enough good things about what she did for us. The ceremony she did was exactly what we wanted and the words she put together were perfect.Susan was easily accessable to us leading up to the ceremony via phone or e-mail and always responded promptly to any requests. We came over from England to celebrate our tenth anniversary and we would recommend Susan to anyone planning to get married in New York. Kevin and Tracy Patterson

The wedding ceremony that susan performed was so very special because it was unique and tailored just for us. Susan has the gift to hear what you tell her and is able to express it in a way that tugged at our hearts. She incorpated our different religious beliefs and captured the love and respect that my husband and I share for one another. Susan is a proffessional in every way. She has no judgements, cares only about your needs and is dedicated to making your day a truly memorable one.

Susan was absolutely perfect. She really made sure our wedding was a unique experience by making sure we felt fully involved with the plans of the ceremony. She is also very flexible and responsive. We live in California and we never had a problem getting in touch with her. And that alone, made our New York wedding less stressful. She also scored extra points with us because our families loved her so much. They are still talking about how well she fit in with all of us! If your looking for a perfect fit, Susan is it...

Reverand Susan Turchin did an amazing job at the ceremony. She was warm, fun and welcoming. May of my guest complimented on how great and heartfelt the ceremony was. She is awesome!!!!

Susan Turchin was great, the ceremony was unbelievable and something me and my family will never forget. Her understanding of both religions and eloquent voice were perfect.

Susan Turchin was an absolute delight to work with! She was attentive and responsive with phone calls and emails and was very, very helpful with any questions or concerns that we had. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful and creative wedding ceremony. My guests keep telling me how they have never been to such a beautiful and personalized ceremony. She was perfect in incorporating both of our cultures and religions. I couldn't have asked for more!! She was also very prompt in mailing in our wedding certificate...It was waiting for us at home when we returned from our honeymoon!! A+++++++ for Susan!!!!

We were very happy with all the innovative, spiritual ideas that Susan came up with to make our wedding ceremony so memorable. Many people told us that the poetry and the personal vows we made to eachother really stuck in their minds. We highly recommend Susan Turchin especially for any interfaith or creative approaches you may want to bring to your special day. Thank You Susan!! Best, Daryl and Kevin

Susan Turchin provided an amazing ceremony for my husband and I. Our guests raved about how intimate and beautiful the ceremony was. Some asked if Susan was a friend of ours. We feel this way about Susan. Thank you again, Susan for wonderful experience. Katie and Phil

Susan was hands down the best officiant we could have asked for. Her interest in our lives, history, and spiritual inclinations were genuine and extremely useful in drafting a perfect ceremony. Her experience allowed for the actual ceremony to go over without a glitch. She was flexible in terms of timing, and went above the call of duty to ensure that friends and family were engaged and comfortable during the execution of the ceremony.

Susan was the officiant for our wedding on October 4th, 2009, and we couldn't have been more pleased! My husband was raised Jewish, and I was raised Catholic, and we wanted to incorporate aspects of each of our cultures without having a wedding that was too religious, while also respecting the wishes and sensitivity of our parents. Susan was warm and friendly from the moment we met her, and worked with us to design a ceremony that was most in-line with what we wanted. She was always extremely responsive to all of our phone calls and emails, and worked patiently with us while we finalized various drafts of the ceremony. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives, and we received so many compliments and comments from friends and family saying what a wonderful ceremony it was. We are so glad we chose Susan to perform the ceremony. With Love, Christina and Mike Denton

Susan gave us the most beautiful ceremony! The most consistent feedback we got from our guests was how touching and beautiful the ceremony was and how great the officiant was. I would highly recommend Susan Turchin for your personalized and meaningful ceremony.

Susan was the perfect person to officiate our wedding! She took the time to get to know us and tailor our ceremony so everyone there felt and shared in the love that we were celebrating. We highly recommend Susan for your special day!

Reverend Turchin did a wonderful job with our interfaith wedding ceremony! She was referred to me by a guest at another of her weddings, who had only good things to say about her. Rev. Turchin was accommodating, and designed a personalized ceremony for my husband and me. Many guests complimented Rev. Turchin's presentation afterward, and I referred another couple to her and they also were very happy!

Susan was wonderful! She listened to us and really learned about who we were as a couple. Because of that she was able to stand up in front of our friends and family and express our love and commitment in a beautiful way. She understood what we wanted as a couple and she helped us to feel relaxed throughout the whole process. My husband and I are of mixed religions and Susan helped us to find a way to blend both of our traditions so that we were happy and our families were comfortable. I would definitely recommend Susan for any couple.

My wife and I wanted an outdoor interfaith ceremony that incorporated all of our beliefs about spirituality and community, which includes Kripalu yoga, paganism and our culturally Jewish heritage. And we put the whole thing together in less than four months. It was a tall order, but Reverend Susan was a creative, contributory and commanding force whose ideas, counsel and sensitivity played no small part in making this the most incredible day of our lives. Almost 2 years later, everyone who came is still complimenting us on how special and from-the-heart our ceremony was. Reverend Susan is the reason it came together so well. Once we were fixed on the themes and elements we wanted. she moved right along and took care of everything. On our wedding day, we didn't even think much about how the ceremony would go -- we were confident that it would go according to plan, Susan would manage it, go with the flow if changes (i.e. rain) happened, and be on top of it all. She was, and we're very grateful.

Susan really captured what we were as a couple and brought that out in the ceremony. She was attentive to our requests and brought her personal touch to the event. One of the main things people commented on after our wedding was how much fun Susan made the ceremony. I highly recommend her.

It was such a pleasure to have Susan officiate our wedding as she was an integral and memorable part of our very beautiful ceremony, not only for my husband and me, but for all our guests, who still remember our wedding ceremony as being one of the most touching they've witnessed. When we met with Susan, she asked us specific questions regarding why we were marrying and what our partners meant to us, as well as what we felt we brought to our relationship. This helped us to write our own ceremony and vows, putting our feelings into words. Susan is warm, caring and professional. We feel very fortunate to have found her and I highly recommend her services.

We just loved Susan. She really made our special day even more special.

A mixed faith marriage, we sought a non-denominational officiant for our wedding. It was important for our ceremony to express our love for each other, the blessing of the community of our friends and family, and our appreciation for our place of worship which is out in nature. Susan communicated all of this in a beautiful outdoor ceremony. She remained the calm in my type A personality throughout the process - from first meeting, through writing of the vows and again on the wedding day itself. An added bonus, she worked within our budget!

Both my husband and I are not religious people and wanted a ceremony that reflected our spiritual beliefs. Susan created for us a ceremony that was the perfect combination of spirituality while incorporating wedding traditions from other cultures. It was a uniquely individual ceremony which many of our friends and family still comment on to this day. She brings to the table a variety of traditional as well as creative ceremony elements and offers them in a very open, supportive, and non-judgemental way. Susan has a very calming and reassuring presence which creates an atmosphere of celebration. A few years later, Susan created for us a beautiful and unique baby blessing ceremony when our first child was born. We would highly recommend Susan for any special occasion in your life.

We had a beautiful ceremony performed by Rev Susan. She worked with us so that we had a completely personalized service; she presented us with a variety of options of things that could be included. We chose what we liked. She wove them together into a beautiful and unique ceremony that we remember today, nearly eight years later.
