We cannot recommend Miriam highly enough! She was kind and caring, professional, and extremely good at her job, for a very decent price. She helped our wedding go so smoothly and we are so incredibly grateful she was part of our special day! Our photographer heard we were looking for an officiant for our wedding, and passed along Miriam’s information. From the moment we connected with her, we felt her warm and friendly energy and felt totally at ease about planning our wedding ceremony! Before we met Miriam, we were not really sure what we wanted our wedding to be, but we did know we wanted it to be written by us, and as a queer couple we did not want a “traditional” wedding. It started off feeling overwhelming with so many details to plan overall, but as soon as we met with Miriam, we felt completely at ease and even excited about the process! We threw out some ideas that wove in our New Age/paganistic spiritual beliefs, and Miriam reached out to her pagan priestess friend and did a deep dive researching for our ceremony and coming back to us with so many wonderful ideas. She thoughtfully and creatively wove all the important elements we hoped for into a beautiful ceremony, down to every detail. She was open to our ideas, and supportive through every step of the way, right up until we were there in the moment getting married, and even after the ceremony. She helped make our wedding so special, and we got so many compliments on how “us” our ceremony was and what a great job Miriam did. 100/10, would recommend, do yourself a favor and take this as your sign to book with her!

Lori Prashker-Thomas is the owner of Ceremonies by Lori and a Certified Professional Wedding Officiant (CPWO) who believes every love story deserves to be told with heart, authenticity, and a personal touch. With years of experience creating inclusive and meaningful ceremonies for all couples, Lori brings warmth, creativity, and care to every celebration. Whether traditional, spiritual, or completely unique, she works closely with clients to craft moments that reflect who they are—at their core. Based in Pennsylvania, Lori is also a photographer, speaker, and passionate advocate for love in all its forms.

I knew I had to have Lori officiate our wedding during our initial Zoom call when she stated “I’m not for everybody.” Lori is who she is and will not compromise that for anyone - which I LOVE. Her style isn’t school-kid giddy, so if that’s what you’re looking for in an officiant, book elsewhere. Lori is thorough, timely, professional and creative. She’s kind-hearted and her passion for what she does shines through during her ceremonies. She makes her couples feel empowered while guiding them through what their wedding ceremony could be. We decided to have her perform a hand-fasting ceremony. She was so helpful down to the details - from helping us pick cord colors to dying them herself. I genuinely couldn’t have imagined our day without her. My husband and family still haven’t forgotten the beautiful words she spoke at our ceremony, and I know I won’t forget them for many years to come. Thank you, Lori. It was truly a pleasure working with you!

At Adirondack Ever After, we believe every wedding should be as unique and meaningful as the love story it celebrates. Nestled in the breathtaking Adirondack region of upstate New York, we specialize in creating unforgettable weddings and elopements that reflect who you are as a couple. We are passionate about bringing your vision to life with authenticity and attention to detail, ensuring your special day feels joyful, heartfelt, and uniquely yours. At Adirondack Ever After, your celebration is our joy — and we’re honored to help you create memories that will last a lifetime!

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.

Amore Eterno by Lisa

  • Serves Elmira Heights, NY

I’ve had the privilege of officiating weddings and standing beside couples on one of the most important days of their lives since 2019. Over the years, I’ve learned that no two couples are ever the same, and every ceremony deserves to feel personal, meaningful, and true to the couple standing before me. Whether you’re planning a large celebration or a small intimate ceremony, my goal is always the same — to create a moment you’ll remember for the rest of your life.

Our wedding ceremony was very simple and intimate, but Lisa made it feel incredibly special and unforgettable. She was patient, professional, and so thoughtful throughout the entire process. Her warm presence helped us feel comfortable and truly present in the moment. We are so grateful for the care she brought to the ceremony. Thank you for making such an important day so meaningful and memorable. We would recommend Amore Eterno by Lisa

The Resonant Officiant 
Rating: 5.0 (13 reviews)
  • Offers 9 ceremony types

  • Serves Elmira Heights, 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 in 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Kait, The Resonant Officiant, was one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning she brought such warmth, openness, and fun energy to the process. We immediately felt comfortable with her, and that sense of ease carried through the entire weekend. She has a way of creating a safe, welcoming space where everyone feels included, and she does it with genuine kindness and a wonderful sense of humor. Kait guided us through the rehearsal dinner with so much confidence and calm, helping us and our families feel grounded and excited for what was to come. On the wedding day she delivered a ceremony that was beyond anything we could have imagined. Her words were personal and beautifully written, like poetry, and she told our story in a way that felt meaningful and authentic to us while also drawing in our guests. There was laughter, there were tears, and there was an overwhelming feeling of love in the room. She did not stop there. Kait also stepped in as the emcee for our reception, making transitions seamless and keeping the celebration flowing with warmth and joy. By the end of the weekend she did not just feel like our officiant, she truly felt like part of our family. Our guests could not stop raving about her, and so many people commented on how special and memorable the ceremony felt. We are endlessly grateful to Kait for the love and care she poured into our wedding. She made the entire experience unforgettable, and we know we will carry her words and presence with us forever. If you are considering The Resonant Officiant, we cannot recommend her enough!!

  • Offers 8 ceremony types

  • Serves Elmira Heights, 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.
