“Love & Laughter Weddings made our ceremony feel personal and special from start to finish.

Ceremonies by Navid 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Waverly, 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 completely changed what we thought a ceremony could be. He has a rare ability to take the arc of two people’s lives and shape it into a narrative that feels both intimate and universal, moving guests from laughter to tears and back again. Every word felt deliberate, well-crafted, and earned, nothing generic or recited on autopilot. What set him apart was the depth he brought to it. This wasn’t a ceremony that skimmed the surface with a few jokes and a quick pronouncement; it was thoughtful, layered, and emotionally resonant, the kind of storytelling that makes a room go quiet and lean in. Standing there, we felt like we were watching a real story unfold, not sitting through a formality. He also has a real talent for setting the tone in the room and putting people at ease. Any tension or nerves in the lead-up to the ceremony dissolved once he took over; his calm, steady presence made the whole experience feel easy and unforced. If you want an officiant who treats the ceremony as a craft, not a checklist, Navid is exceptional at what he does.”

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.

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

  • Serves Waverly, 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!!”

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.”

  • Serves Waverly, 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.”
