Canandaigua, NY
  • Offers 8 ceremony types
  • Starts at $195

This Day Forward provides officiant services for the Finger Lakes area, including Rochester, Buffalo, and Syracuse. We began as a way to help people who desire to have ceremonies and life rituals that are meaningful to them. We believe that nothing is more important to the integrity of being human than recognizing that fact through intentional acts of celebration, remembrance, and recognition that ceremonies embody.

“David was an absolute pleasure to work with! David is extremely professional and seamlessly provides a balance of guidance and helpful suggestions, with personalization and collaboration in creating your wedding ceremony. David provided options for readings and vows to include in our ceremony, while giving us complete freedom to add anything specific that is meaningful to us. David even shared the idea of a wine and letter box as a part of our ceremony, which we loved! He also weaved our unique experiences and memories into the ceremony in a meaningful way. My husband and I did not want a religious ceremony, which David accommodated easily. David is also highly responsive and dependable. David was early for our ceremony, and communicated when he sent in our marriage license for us, to give us peace of mind. My husband and I highly recommend David as an officiant!”

Ceremonies by Navid

  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Canandaigua, NY

Hi, I'm Navid! I officiate weddings throughout NYC and NYS, crafting ceremonies that sound like you — your relationship, your humor, the story that brought you here. I take the time to really get to know each couple I work with, because your ceremony should never feel like it was pulled off a shelf. Whatever traditions matter to you — any culture, a blend, or none at all — I love weaving them into the ceremony itself. My goal is to set the scene that celebrate your love. I hope we get to work together!

“With full trust in Navid, he met our every expectation as he shone as a public speaker, diligently took on preparation, and with very little guidance from us, prepared a heartfelt and personal speech in the style we requested. What I appreciated most about working with Navid was his self-sufficiency. In an otherwise stressful time where we were time-limited, he understood the assignment without needing our constant input, which is not often the case with wedding vendors. At our rehearsal, Navid took charge, used humor to diffuse stressful dynamics, asked important questions we had not even thought of, and even saved the wedding on the day-of by making sure our rings made it to the altar. I cannot recommend Navid enough!”

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 guide people through taking those stories and turning them into something meaningful. Through thoughtful questions and deep conversations, we'll collaborate on crafting your one-of-a-kind wedding ceremony!

Awarded Best of Zola
“When we were planning our wedding we originally thought of just asking a friend to marry us. But after learning more about what a good officiant can offer we were incredibly happy to have changed plans and gone with Miriam! Miriam perfectly balanced being both professional and also getting to know us as a couple and individuals. She was very friendly and always a joy to talk to in our calls. The ceremony itself was not something we had given a ton of thought to, and weren’t sure exactly what we wanted outside of having a few concepts (short, secular, not too serious). Miriam was able to offer us advice, recommendations, and guidance throughout the process as we created our ceremony. From sending us examples of readings that fit our vibe, to explaining different unity ceremony ideas and helping us come up with one that fit us, Miriam made what could have been a stressful planning experience into a breeze. Miriam separately reviewed both our private and public vows, gave us feedback to make sure both our tones were the same, and took care of dropping off the paperwork to make the marriage official. We knew we picked the right person when our friends asked us afterwards how long we had to look to find an officiant with the same sense of humor as us. We would absolutely recommend Miriam to anyone asking!”

She handled the venue change, coordinated with multiple vendors, all while making sure our ceremony went smoothly. She and her assistant dealt with every issue with a smile on their faces and ensured that my husband and I didn’t have to worry about a thing.

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.

“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.”

At Sapphire Blessings Atelier, we believe life's most meaningful moments deserve more than words--they deserve ceremony artistry. We specialize in creating experiences that are personal, sophisticated and timeless.

“Sapphire Blessings Atelier truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day incredibly special. Minister Erin Carter took the time to genuinely get to know us by asking about our feelings and what mattered most to us, and she designed a ceremony that was perfectly tailored to who we are as a couple. She was kind, compassionate, and incredibly intentional throughout the entire process. What meant the most to me was that she created space for both of us—she even helped my husband open up in ways he normally doesn’t, which made the ceremony feel even more meaningful and authentic. Minister Carter made sure the experience reflected us, not just one partner, and that balance made all the difference. Our ceremony felt personal, heartfelt, and unforgettable. I am so grateful for the care and love she poured into our day, and I would highly recommend Sapphire Blessings Atelier to any couple looking for a truly customized and meaningful wedding ceremony.”

  • Serves Canandaigua, 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.”
