About Milestones by Miri
Milestones by Miri
I take pride in the fact that I’m a connector and listener. I love getting to know people and learning and helping to share 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. Through thoughtful questions and deep conversations, we'll collaborate on crafting your one-of-a-kind ceremony.
Your wedding ceremony should be all about YOU! I will help ensure your ceremony reflects you, your love, and your values. Wedding ceremonies do not have to be religious, and they certainly should not be stuffy or boring. Your ceremony can be personal, fun, unique, silly, and full of meaningful moments. Even if you don't know exactly what you're looking for, our conversations will inspire the creation of your ceremony.
In three words: Creative, Positive, Supportive

Love!
We were going back and forth between having a family member or a professional officiate, and we eventually landed on Miriam. It truly felt like the best of both worlds because it feels as though we made a new friend in her. Miriam has such an warmth about her, and you can tell that they truly love connecting with couples to make each ceremony perfectly "them." They listened to all our ideas and created a ceremony that was so unique to us and full of little personal details. Miriam also coordinated and ran our rehearsal, which made the logistics feel so easy. On our wedding day (and even days after!), so many of our guests came up to us to say how beautiful the ceremony was and how much they loved it. We cannot recommend Miriam enough!
Response from vendor•Jan 2, 2026This review had me IN TEARS!!! Maura and Hannah, your wedding ceremony will forever be a highlight of my career. It was an honor to marry you and it’s a delight to know y’all! I hope married life is full of joy and laughter! 💖Micro Wedding with Miri
Miriam wrote us a beautiful personalized ceremony for our micro wedding. Her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail in writing about our relationship made the ceremony feel so intimate and intentional for us and our 5 guests. She was so communicative and flexible throughout the process of preparing for the wedding as well. Additionally, since we streamed the wedding online for family who were unable to attend, we were able to hire her lovely wife Joan to set up my laptop and camera and run the stream for us. Because of Joan's help, we and our guests could focus on the ceremony without worrying about our other family missing out on anything. We are so grateful to them both!

Miriam from Milestones by Miri was the perfect officiant for our wedding. From our very first virtual meeting, we felt an instant connection with her kind, funny, and experienced personality. She was so open to learning about the unique traditions we wanted to incorporate into our ceremony, and her passion for her work shone through every step of the way. On our wedding day, Miriam's humble, thoughtful, and caring approach put us at ease. She was so positive and proud as she led us through our vows with a detailed and sweet delivery that our guests raved about. We feel so lucky to have had Miriam as our officiant - she truly helped make our day one of the best ever.
