About Antonia
Hi, and thank you for considering Weddings By Antonia!
I’m Antonia Santiago, born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. I’ve witnessed the city evolve through generations; from baby boomers, Gen X and Y, hipsters, and millennials, to what has always been celebrated as the “City That Never Sleeps.” Just like New York, your wedding should be anything but ordinary.
In today’s ever-changing world, choosing a marriage officiant is a wonderful way for couples to make a personalized statement on their special day.
For me, becoming a marriage officiant has been a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of New York City. I like to think of it as being “at the mercy of love.”
Love knows no expiration date, no rules, and no limits. Planning your wedding is about slowing down and thoughtfully crafting every moment to make it truly unforgettable.
Selecting the right officiant is one of the most important decisions in your wedding planning. The way your ceremony feels—the joy, the intimacy, the connection—will be a memory you and your families cherish forever.
I know you have many choices when it comes to an officiant, so here’s a little about me: I officiated my first wedding at no cost, and it was a life-changing experience. From that moment, I knew I had found my calling: to play a meaningful role in celebrating love and unity. My approach has always been guided by one principle: you cannot put a price on love.
I officiate faith-based and interfaith ceremonies, same-sex unions, spiritual and non-religious weddings. I also provide Day-Of Wedding Coordination, ensuring that whether your ceremony is formal or casual, on a beach, in a park, at home, or with 2 or 200 guests, it runs seamlessly and beautifully.
I would be honored to help make your wedding day as unforgettable as the love you’re celebrating.
With Love,
Antonia
“We had a relatively last minute arrangement and wasn’t sure if it will work. We found Antonia, and she was very responsive, encouraging, and accommodating throughout the process. She gave us many advice in choosing location for a simple civil ceremony, and are willing to make last minute changes based on our preferences. We are very grateful for her help and would recommend her to anyone in search of a wedding officiant.”
Live, Laugh, Love & Then Get Married
Choosing the right marriage officiant is one of the most important decisions you’ll make during the wedding planning process because the way your ceremony feels will be something you and your families will remember forever.
