“SJM Weddings was an excellent choice for our wedding officiant. From the very beginning, their communication style was strong and consistent, which put us at ease during the planning process. They were a dedicated and involved partner, gathering our feedback to make the ceremony truly special and personal to us. SJM Weddings included thoughtful personal touches that made all of our guests feel welcome, included, and engaged in our love story throughout the ceremony. He even stepped back for our first kiss so that we got the perfect picture! We could not have asked for a more reliable and in-touch officiant to help make our wedding day so memorable.”

  • Serves Derby, 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!

“Navid is a master host of moments. He has an innate ability to wrap a whole room in his arms and lift everyone up, making an occasional feel special, contained, and a bit sublime. He can enter a stranger’s house for a celebration and give a toast that perfectly captures the sentiment in the room, at just the right moment, making people laugh, cry, and feel united. It came as no surprise when we learned he had begun to officiate weddings. Navid is a leader, a storyteller, an anchor, a tender confidant, and a true friend. In each of these, he shines. Call on him to host this special moment for you. I promise you: you’ll be glad you did.”

Erie Wedding Officiants, a local business in Erie, Pennsylvania, emerged in 2012 from the vision of its founder, Steve. Frustrated by impersonal ceremonies, Steve saw a need for personalized wedding experiences that truly reflected each couple's love story. The team has since expanded to include a diverse group of celebrants who share Steve's commitment. They now serve couples throughout the Erie area and surrounding regions like Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Buffalo. Offering everything from religious to nonreligious ceremonies, they work closely with each couple to create a unique and memorable wedding day.

“Choosing the right person to officiate our wedding was one of the most important decisions we made, and we can't express how grateful we are to have found Steve from Erie Wedding Officiants. From our very first meeting, we knew we were in good hands. He listened to our story with genuine interest, asked thoughtful questions about our relationship, and immediately made us feel comfortable. The ceremony itself was nothing short of perfect. Steve created a script that was so personal and heartfelt. He seamlessly blended humor and sincerity, keeping our guests engaged and making everyone feel a part of the moment. We received so many compliments afterward about how unique and touching our ceremony was. Beyond the beautiful words, his professionalism was outstanding. He handled all of the legal paperwork with ease, arrived early to our rehearsal and the wedding day, and had a calm, reassuring presence that helped put our nerves at ease. We weren't just hiring someone to perform a service; we were collaborating with someone who cared about making our day special. We highly recommend Steve or any of the officiants from Erie Wedding Officiants to any couple looking for someone who will not only marry them but will also craft a meaningful, unforgettable ceremony that reflects who they are.”

“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!”

“Our wedding day wouldn’t be possible without Reem. Not only was she kind, compassionate, and flexible, but she was an excellent problem solver who handled an entire venue change with 24 hours notice. The day before our wedding our reception venue cancelled on us and Reem really stepped up and saved the day. 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. Anyone would be lucky to have Reem in their corner for their event.”

“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.”
