About Sam Ties the Knot

Sam Ties The Knot

Minister

Hi! I’m Samantha Freire, a NYC-based wedding officiant, planner, and emcee with 9+ years of experience and over 1000 weddings celebrated including 350+ weddings officiated. I specialize in vibrant, modern ceremonies that reflect your unique love story. Whether you’re eloping, hosting a big celebration, or renewing your vows, I’ll bring heart, humor, and joy to your day. I officiate all types of weddings—non-religious, interfaith, LGBTQIA+, themed, and bilingual (English/Spanish). My goal is to create a warm, personal ceremony that leaves you and your guests smiling.

I bring more than just words to your wedding—I bring presence, polish, and purpose. As a seasoned wedding planner and emcee, I understand the flow of an event, the rhythm of a room, and how to keep things running smoothly behind the scenes while keeping the spotlight on you. I’m not just reading a script—I’m setting the tone for your entire celebration. I also have a modern, story-driven approach to ceremony writing. I don’t just insert your names into a template. I take the time to learn your story, your humor, your quirks—and I weave that into a custom ceremony that feels heartfelt, personal, and totally one-of-a-kind.

In three words: Creative, Fun, Resourceful

    We can’t say enough good things about Sam! From our very first call, she was kind, professional, and genuinely excited to help us create a ceremony that was totally us. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and crafted a ceremony script that had everyone laughing, crying, and totally engaged. On the wedding day, Sam was calm, organized, and brought such great energy to the ceremony—she even helped us coordinate our guests right before the processional! We had so many people come up to us afterward to say how personal and heartfelt the ceremony was, which was exactly what we wanted. If you’re looking for an officiant who cares deeply about your story and will make your day feel truly special, Sam is your girl! 10/10 recommend.” — Lauren & Mike

    Sam did great officiating the wedding. The ceremony was personal, thoughtful, and just had the right touch of humor. You could really tell that Sam took the time to get to know the couple and made it meaningful! It felt genuine and warm!
