Featured Gay Friendly Wedding Vendor: Reverend Annie Lawrence, New York City

Saturday, September 10th, 2011

Periodically we’ll feature one of our vendors here to let our readers know about some great people who can help you plan the perfect wedding.

Gay Friendly New York City Wedding Vendors

Reverend Annie Lawrence, New York CityHi, I’m Reverend Annie, and I am an ordained New York City Interfaith Minister and licensed Wedding Officiant. I’ve officiated at hundreds of Civil, Non-Denominational and Spiritual wedding ceremonies with great enthusiasm and joy.

Each couple I meet and each ceremony I celebrate is unique and memorable. I have years of experience planning, preparing, writing, and performing New York wedding ceremonies, and can assure you that I will be confident, relaxed, and at peace on your wedding day. I will support you, so that on your wedding day you’ll feel relaxed, ready, and truly present to give your heart to your partner, to truly experience each moment, and celebrate your wedding day!

Couples ask me, “How did you get into the wedding business?” I’ve always been interested in where we come from, where we’re going, what we believe, and the many things that happen on the way. I was raised Catholic, and knew there was more to God and the universe than what I was taught in church. As a child, I was attracted to God, the Gods, Goddesses, heroes, culture and mythology of all countries, all religions, and all people. I felt the sting of ostracism from the Catholic Church when my parents got a divorce. So I started on a spiritual quest.

Gay Friendly New York Wedding Vendors

Yachts for All SeasonsIs there anything better than being driven around Manhattan on a chartered yacht? New York City is a great place to live in and to visit and there is so much to do here. One of the first things that you may notice about New York is that there are some who shower themselves in luxury, and some who do not.

It’s easy to want to be luxurious, but being able to afford it is something else altogether.

Can you afford to buy a yacht? Probably not. But you can afford a private yacht charter for your wedding day.

A private yacht charter in New York City is the perfect way to see the city like you’ve never seen it before. Climb aboard one of our smaller 72 foot motor yachts, or aboard the 200 foot Bateaux, and get ready to thoroughly enjoy yourselves.

From the moment you step aboard the yacht, you and your party will be treated as honored guests, and unlike any other New York City yacht charter, you will bask in the lap of luxury.
