So so thankful to Stuart for his excellent officiating of our summer outdoor wedding in Niagara Falls! He brought in such a gravitas to the proceeding, and was so incredibly helpful with providing templates for all the different parts of the ceremony, including adding in a candle ritual which was our favorite part! Although we chose not to do a religious ceremony, we felt that the ceremony had a wonderful spiritual side to it, thanks to Stuart. Thank you so so much Stuart, we appreciate you so much!

I did not personally work with Stuart, but our interactions left such an impression on me that I feel it's only right to share the story and write a review. My husband and I had ...
previously hired a different wedding officiant who canceled on us two weeks before our September 27, 2025 wedding. I reached out to several officiants on The Knot and Stuart responded almost immediately with a phone call. Unfortunately, he was not available the day of our wedding, but was more than happy to refer us to his colleague Yesenia. While we ultimately went with a different officiant, it meant the absolute world that Stuart was so willing to go above and beyond to help us out, and that Yesenia was just as willing to step in if needed. I didn't have the pleasure of working with these two, but I can attest that they both care so much about what they do and will be responsive and ready to help with just about anything.

We were thrilled to have SJM Weddings as our wedding officiants in June 2004. From the beginning, they were incredibly caring, responsive, and cooperative throughout the process. T...
heir high-quality work and collaborative approach made them true partners in creating our perfect ceremony. SJM Weddings worked closely with us to coordinate our vows and ceremony wording, which made the whole experience feel personal and memorable. Their patience in practicing the ceremony with us helped ease our nerves leading up to the big day. We couldn't have asked for a better team to officiate our wedding! We highly recommend SJM Weddings!

Family and friends commented so much about how relaxed and beautiful our ceremony was. I tell everyone it was the best day of my life!

May God bless you both in all that you are and all that you do. Barbara&Maria
