Adam did a wonderful job walking us through the entire process from suggesting ceremony components all the way through to making personal adjustments and getting to know us individ...
ually and as a couple through the process. I would highly recommend Adam to help anyone on their special day! Thank you!
Adam did a great job officiating our wedding. It was very personal to us. Many guests commented on how lovely the ceremony was and how it was great that it was so personal. We were...
also able to edit the ceremony as much as we needed to make sure the ceremony was perfect and exactly what we wanted it to be.
I am not sure why Adam does not have more reviews here, as he was wonderful! Our original officiant was no longer available about a month before our ceremony, but despite this unex...
pected change and challenge, he recommended us to Adam.
Adam rescued what could have been an upsetting situation by doing such a wonderful job that everything worked out great in the end. He was timely, compassionate, and developed what felt like a close bond with both us and the audience despite not actually meeting either of us in person before the day of the ceremony!
Many of our guests specifically commented on how much they enjoyed his delivery and the mood of the service. He imbued warmth and meaning into each word and made us both comfortable. Highly recommended!
We were incredibly lucky to find Adam to officiate our wedding. With neither of us being very religious and with a mixed Christian-Jewish background, it didn't feel right to have ...
a religious leader lead our ceremony. Neither did it feel right to just say "Cheers, now we're married!"
We wanted to have a ceremony that brought in what is important to us in life. A ceremony that made space for spirituality and tradition, without locking it into one particular belief system. Adam was able to create all of this - and he very skillfully and gently guided us in the process to figure out what we most wanted to have part this important moment. He was open to every suggestion we had, while also being active with suggestions. I always felt like our thoughts were welcome, while I also felt like we had the spiritual support to find our way in the challenge to create a ceremony that would truly honor the love and commitment we feel for each other.
We had family and friends come from all over the world and everyone felt included and respected in our event - and most important for us - they felt that the ceremony was a true reflection of us.
We met Adam at a little patisserie for the first time with beautiful music in the background, telling our stories of how my husband and I met and answering his questions about our ...
plans for the wedding, what we would like to do etc. Immediately after deciding to hire Adam, my husband and I each filled out a questionnaire about our relationship and sent to Adam. He advised that we don't see each others' answers and we gladly accepted it. We also had 2/3 skype sessions with Adam prior to our wedding date. Adam gladly tailored his ceremony steps to our desires and discussed them wit us during our sessions.
Adam is a beautiful person with ability to see the unrecognized characteristics of your love to one another and present that with such care and sophistication during your wedding. During the ceremony he told very interesting observations of our relationship and our love to one another that he encountered during his communications with us.
You would love to hear him talk about his interpretation of your love and listen to his wisdom during your ceremony.
Adam brought an impeccable serenity and beauty to our wedding.
We wanted a spiritual ceremony with positive energy at a peaceful setting and we got the best of our wishes.

From our first meeting my husband and I knew that we wanted to ask Adam to officiate at our weddings. Adam made it a point to find out what it was that drew my future husband and ...
I together and why the two of us wanted to be legally married.
At the ceremony itself Adam included a spiritual aspect to the joining of two men in love. This bonding became more ten a legal contract it became a loving declaration to the universe.
If you are looking for someone not just to officiate but to celebrate your new partnering, do not hesitate to meet with Adam.
We wanted a small intimate wedding with personalized vows. Adam made a wonderful suggestion to have vows made to my 12-yr old son as well. Including our son in the ceremony broug...
ht everyone even closer. My husband then also made our son Best Man, and it made this happy event all the warmer and special for us, and for our very close family and friends attending. It was the memorable wedding we wanted.
