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 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.
Your wedding ceremony should be all about YOU! I'll help ensure your ceremony reflects you, your love, and your values. Weddings don't have to be religious or stuffy or boring. I love crafting meaningful and personal ceremonies, that you and your guests will remember forever.
In three words: Creative, Positive, Supportive

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.

Response from vendor•Oct 20, 2025Thank you for this glowing review, Kristin! It was such a pleasure helping to make your surprise wedding a success, and I loved meeting y'all, your family and friends, and your sweet pups! :)Highly Recommend Miriam!!! She's the BEST!
We cannot recommend Miriam highly enough! She was kind and caring, professional, and extremely good at her job, for a very decent price. She helped our wedding go so smoothly and we are so incredibly grateful she was part of our special day! Our photographer heard we were looking for an officiant for our wedding, and passed along Miriam’s information. From the moment we connected with her, we felt her warm and friendly energy and felt totally at ease about planning our wedding ceremony! Before we met Miriam, we were not really sure what we wanted our wedding to be, but we did know we wanted it to be written by us, and as a queer couple we did not want a “traditional” wedding. It started off feeling overwhelming with so many details to plan overall, but as soon as we met with Miriam, we felt completely at ease and even excited about the process! We threw out some ideas that wove in our New Age/paganistic spiritual beliefs, and Miriam reached out to her pagan priestess friend and did a deep dive researching for our ceremony and coming back to us with so many wonderful ideas. She thoughtfully and creatively wove all the important elements we hoped for into a beautiful ceremony, down to every detail. She was open to our ideas, and supportive through every step of the way, right up until we were there in the moment getting married, and even after the ceremony. She helped make our wedding so special, and we got so many compliments on how “us” our ceremony was and what a great job Miriam did. 100/10, would recommend, do yourself a favor and take this as your sign to book with her!
