Vanessa was absolutely outstanding and made our wedding day SO incredibly special and magical. We will forever cherish how seamless she made the whole process during the planning, rehearsal and the ceremony itself on the day of. Her communication was outstanding the entire time and she was extremely organized throughout the whole process. Vanessa met with us whenever we needed/ wanted, set up a wedding workshop with us, set up a Google doc for the script of the ceremony, answered text messages or phone calls in a very timely manner and made sure everything was perfectly planned out as we dreamed of. Vanessa was diligent, did not skip a beat and helped with every detail of our wedding ceremony. Vanessa helped coordinate with all of our vendors, including our DJ for the ceremony music, our photographer and our venue to make sure everything went exactly as planned. It was such a beautiful day and we could not be happier to have been married by Vanessa, who will now be our lifelong friend. Vanessa has a bubbly personality and is so caring. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to effectively share our love story with our friends and family. She put together our love story so beautifully and she was so attentive on the day of our wedding to both the bride and the groom. We 10/10 recommend Vanessa and CNY magical weddings to be your officiant, they will not disappoint and it is the moments with your officiant that you will never forget!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Love & Laughter Weddings for our small wedding in Carmel by the Sea was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire planning process. We booked their Event Management package with officiant and Design add on for our wedding weekend and I genuinely can’t imagine our wedding without Evelyn and her team. From the moment we met, Evelyn was such a calming, reassuring, and positive presence. Wedding planning felt overwhelming at times, but she always made us feel grounded and supported in our check in meetings. No matter what came up, she handled everything with kindness, confidence and such a peaceful energy. Having someone like that in your corner truly makes all the difference. I shared my Pinterest inspiration and some ideas I’d seen online with her and somehow she brought everything to life even better than I could’ve imagined. Every detail was intentional and very “Us.” The entire weekend flowed so easily and I was able to be present in the moment and enjoy the time with our family and friends instead of stressing. The whole Love & Laughter team was amazing to work with and made our wedding feel effortless and beautiful. I highly recommend them for any couple looking for a team that is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely caring and supportive throughout the process.

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.

Your wedding ceremony should feel personal, meaningful, and true to you as a couple. As an ordained minister and wedding officiant, I work with couples to create ceremonies that reflect their relationship, values, personalities, and vision. From simple marriage signings and intimate elopements to traditional and personalized wedding ceremonies, I provide professional, organized, and attentive service from consultation through the marriage pronouncement.

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our special day! He came to the comfort of our home and made our intimate ceremony feel so meaningful and special. He was able to accommodate us on such short notice, which we truly appreciated. He even took the time to add some beautiful and thoughtful words that weren’t included in our package, which made the ceremony even more personal. He is such a kind and genuine man and was so nice to talk to. We are extremely grateful for everything he did to make our day special. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant!
