About Milestones by Miri
Milestones by Miri
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 help people take those stories and turn them into something meaningful, whether it’s a wedding ceremony or a marriage proposal or whatever milestone you’re holding space for. Through thoughtful questions and deep conversations, we'll collaborate on crafting your one-of-a-kind ceremony.
Your wedding ceremony should be all about YOU! I will help ensure your ceremony reflects you, your love, and your values. Wedding ceremonies do not have to be religious, and they certainly should not be stuffy or boring. Your ceremony can be personal, fun, unique, silly, and full of meaningful moments. Even if you don't know exactly what you're looking for, our conversations will inspire the creation of your ceremony.
In three words: Creative, Positive, Supportive

Miriam is the BEST!
Miriam from Milestones by Miri was the perfect officiant for our wedding. From our very first virtual meeting, we felt an instant connection with her kind, funny, and experienced personality. She was so open to learning about the unique traditions we wanted to incorporate into our ceremony, and her passion for her work shone through every step of the way. On our wedding day, Miriam's humble, thoughtful, and caring approach put us at ease. She was so positive and proud as she led us through our vows with a detailed and sweet delivery that our guests raved about. We feel so lucky to have had Miriam as our officiant - she truly helped make our day one of the best ever.
Response from vendor•Dec 6, 2025Thank you for this incredible review, Leslie and Ben!!! Working with y’all was an absolute joy, and writing and officiatjng your wedding ceremony was so much fun! I hope y’all are continuing to enjoy married life! 💖Friendly, Professional, and Personalized Ceremony
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!
Response from vendor•Dec 2, 2025Thank you for this fabulous review, Zack and Margie! I especially adore the photos you shared, it's so wonderful to relive your gorgeous wedding ceremony and day :)Dream Ceremony
Miriam from Milestones by Miri was hands down the best wedding officiant we could have asked for. From the very start, her attention to detail, professionalism, and punctuality put us at ease. She was incredibly creative and thoughtful, helping us incorporate a special handfasting ritual that was important to me. Miriam's words during the ceremony beautifully captured our love for each other, and she was there to answer every question and guide us through every step of the process. The quality of her work was truly amazing and intricate. We are so grateful for Miriam's services and highly recommend her to any couple looking for an officiant who will make their wedding day incredibly special.
