I take pride in the fact that I’m a connector and listener. I love getting to know people and learning their stories. And I’m happiest when I’m able to help people take those stories and turn them into something meaningful, whether it’s a wedding ceremony or a marriage proposal or whatever milestone you’re holding space for.

From working with her before our ceremony to the day of, she made the whole process feel so much less stressful. She was very accommodating and flexible with our requests and was able to make what we imagined for our ceremony come to life. We suggest Miriam to anyone and everyone!”

“From the moment we first spoke with Fabi, we knew she wasn’t just another wedding vendor—she was someone who truly cared about us and our story. She listened with so much heart, asked questions we’d never even thought about, and somehow turned all of that into a ceremony that felt perfect to our story. In the weeks leading up, she was our calm in the chaos—answering every question, even helping us with last minute vendor coordination when we had our florist and makeup artist suddenly cancel. She made sure we felt supported every step of the way. On the day itself, she showed up with this quiet confidence and warmth that made us both instantly relax. Standing there, listening to the script, we felt completely present—like the rest of the world had disappeared and it was just us. It was emotional, it was joyful, had the perfect notes of humor true to us and it was exactly what we had hoped for, only better. Our friends and family still talk about how beautiful and personal it was. Adirondack Ever After didn’t just officiate our wedding—she made it a moment we’ll carry in our hearts forever.”

Lawrence E. Adjah, MBA, M.Ed, M.Div.

5.0

Offers 8 ceremony types
Starts at $2,250
Serves Elmira, NY

Lawrence E. Adjah, MBA, M.Ed, M.Div. is a pastor, marriage counselor and best-selling author on relationships. Lawrence specializes in marriage counseling and one-on-one spiritual advisory. He approaches his guidance in a biblically based, structured, relatable, and systematic manner, with clear owned outcomes and next steps. Lawrence will guide you through the wedding planning process with warmth, intentionality and clarity. Lawrence offers a wide array of services to guide you through your wedding and beyond. He provides both wedding officiating services and vow renewals, as well as pre-marital counseling and ongoing marriage counseling.

“My husband and I worked with Pastor Lawrence for a year of faith-based pre-marital counseling and had an amazing experience. We, like many couples, went into our first session thinking we’d already discussed the most important topics and we’d maybe need to do 3 formal pre-marital counseling sessions. Our first session was so impactful that we immediately decided that we wanted a full year of counseling. That decision, we believe, completely changed the trajectory of our marriage. Pastor Lawrence asked difficult, thought-provoking questions that helped us see our relationship (with each other and with God) in new ways, and each session left us feeling better equipped for marriage than we ever expected. His depth of knowledge, approachability, and ability to guide meaningful, relevant conversations aimed at aligning us as one—even when we thought we had nothing new to discuss—was truly a gift. We are so grateful for the wisdom and encouragement he poured into us throughout this process and would highly recommend him to any couple who is looking to build a strong, Christ-centered foundation going into their marriage.”

The Resonant Officiant

5.0

Offers 9 ceremony types
Starts at $200
Serves Elmira, NY for additional fees

My Grandfather was one of the first people in my life to hand me a microphone, and I have found myself holding one ever since. My name is Kaitlin, and I go by The Resonant Officiant. To “resonate” means to “ produce or be filled with a deep, full, reverberating sound” and my goal is to co-create a ceremony that leaves both the guests and the couple with a sense of connection, hope, and lasting memory. Our ancestors were deeply rooted ritual practices, and while those exact rituals may not fit quite the same as they once did, they brought people together as a strengthened unit - a sense of belonging all beings deserve to experience.

“Kait was the perfect officiant! From start to finish, she made the process effortless and personal, crafting a ceremony that felt true to us. On our wedding day, she balanced warmth, humor, and professionalism beautifully. Kait didn’t just officiate—she helped create a meaningful memory we’ll cherish forever.”
