Welcome
If you’ve found your way to this page, it means you’re likely preparing for one of the most special ceremonies you will ever encounter in your lifetime.
Congratulations 🙏🏽
Whether you are eloping on a Brooklyn rooftop with your French bulldog or organizing the Hudson Valley estate wedding of your dreams, you want to be confident that this day will capture the exact right vibe.
That’s where I can help.
Together, we will explore your story, your connection, your expression of love, and craft a ceremony that truly reflects your unique partnership. My experience as a yoga teacher, facilitator, and long-time health and wellness practitioner has given me the tools, frameworks and sensitivity to fully engage couples with authenticity and groundedness to create a sacred ceremony for your day no matter what your religious or spiritual beliefs might look like.
Let's enjoy this!
3 EASY STEPS
I email each partner a short questionnaire to get all the basic info.
We schedule a video call to get to know each other. From our conversation, I’ll craft a personalized ceremony and unique speech (if applicable) based on your vision, ideas, and preferences.
The ceremony! I will arrive early to coordinate with you and any other folks support your special day. Following the ceremony, we sign the license and then pop the bubbly (if you’re into that sort of thing).

Some Thoughts
This work is a passion for me. Few things light me up more than being present for a moment in time when people are saying yes to life and to one another. This work I do for love.
As a student of spiritual traditions from the east and west, a child of a multiethnic/multifaith family, and a trained teacher and facilitator, I have a unique set of skills and experiences that bring my passion to life in for couples from all walks of life.
I look forward to serving you and making the magic of this day come alive!
Some Testimonials
“Ariel really listened to what my partner and I were hoping for from our ceremony and he captured it perfectly. Our wedding was warm and personal with just the right amount of laughter and love. Ariel helped start our married life on just the right note.”
Sarah, Long Island City
Ariel was truly a gift. Prior to our wedding, he went way out of his way to meet with us to better understand what our hopes and dreams were for the day. Since this was our first time getting married, he gave us ideas and suggestions on some of the things we should consider. Things that would allow us to make our moment unique to who we are and how we wanted to craft this crazy special moment. It's really crazy the day of... Ariel helped us both stay so grounded, helped us keep at the forefront of why were were here in the first place. The ceremony was so perfect. It allowed for a naturalness to unfold (in front of 300 people) while also having structure and covering a lot of the things we wanted to share with our community. If I were doing it again (which I won't be;) I would plan everything around Ariel being the one that facilitates.
-Matthew, Kingston, NY
“We couldn’t have possibly asked for someone better to preside over the union between an atheist Jew and spiritual, but non-religious, Christian African American. The vastness and diversity of his spiritual/religious knowledge uniquely suited him for such a task. Ariel was instrumental in providing our wedding ceremony with the soulfulness, humor, and cultural traditions important to both of us and our respective families.
The entire process was completely organic. He sat down with us for an in-depth conversation so that we could explain and discover what was important to us, both individually and as a couple beginning our new life together. From that conversation he crafted the blueprint and script for a unique and unforgettable wedding ceremony.
In a day when many couples see their weddings as instruments of self-expression, there is none better to facilitate that expression than Mr. Ariel Figueroa”
