Background in communications, theater, event planning
After earning a BA in communications and a minor in theater, I gained extensive experience in radio, marketing, fundraising, event coordination and public speaking. For the past 15 years, I have been working with couples and creating a special message for their wedding day that is engaging and meaningful for them and their family and friends.
Posted 09/18/2024 by Sarah H - The Knot "Working with Adam was a blast! My husband and I had no idea what we wanted for our ceremony, as we haven’t been to a lot of weddings to base it off of. Adam worked so well with us, helped us through the process, and delivered a wonderful ceremony. It was heartfelt, personalized, and very fun! We enjoyed working with Adam as he allowed us to have as much input into our ceremony as we wanted. Many of our friends and family were convinced that we had known him on a personal level due to how personalized our ceremony was. Adam was full of energy, kindness, and truly gave us a ceremony we will never forget!"
Posted 01/03/2024 by Kristen S - The Knot Adam Jamsa was our officiant, and he played a pivotal role in making our wedding ceremony a heartfelt and meaningful experience. His warm, welcoming, and engaging presence immediately put us at ease and he crafted a ceremony that truly reflected our love story, after having several sessions to go over our background. Adam took time to understand our values and incorporated personal touches that made the ceremony uniquely ours. We are a nontraditional couple, and that was never an issue with Adam and he made us feel comfortable and important throughout the entire process. His eloquence and ability to capture the essence of our relationship left a lasting impression on both us and the guests. Guests asked even if we had known him already or if he was a family friend because he knew and captured so well who we were and our story. We are incredibly grateful to Adam for officiating our union with such grace and sincerity, and we wholeheartedly recommend his services to couples seeking a personalized and memorable wedding ceremony I had only ever been to weddings where it was someone's friend officiating for the couple, and more so just as a utility, so I didn't realize how powerful and beautiful having a professional wedding officiant would be. I would highly recommend to any couple to have a professional officiant, especially Adam Jamsa!" Posted 05/02/2025 by Bailey M - The Knot Adam Jamsa was an amazing officiant. He provided his own style while staying true to what we wanted our ceremony to be like. He was flexible with changes made and very communicative. He also brought great positive, loving energy to the ceremony. He made it heartfelt but also threw us all into laughter here and there. I would not have changed a thing or chosen anyone else. I felt everything he did / said was perfect and tailored to us and our love story.
posted 06/28/2025 by Michael K Adam was everything we hoped for from start to finish. He was great with communicating with us and really took the time to get to know us to ensure the ceremony was tailored to us. He put us at ease when we had a lot of pre-wedding anticipation anxiety. We received many compliments about the ceremony he conducted. He made the ceremony fun and interactive. We are very happy we chose him to be our officiant! We will be recommending him to all of our friends for their weddings!

**If you are having an intimate / smaller ceremony, I may be able to work with you on fees / services to provide a fair quote and a personal wedding ceremony for your big day.
I always start with a phone call to get details and an understanding of what the couple is looking for. If they are comfortable, we can book the date or schedule an in-person meeting which is always recommended.
Once a couple is booked, we begin the process of crafting the ceremony. Every couple is emailed a confirmation and questions that will help me personalize their wedding ceremony.
Every couple will receive a ceremony rough draft. This draft will have notes highlighted to help guide them through and ask questions / present options. The draft will include readings, and other content options. They will also be provided with vow & ring exchange options and unity ceremony options if they are interested.
Once I receive feedback from the couple, we go back and forth making adjustments until they love their ceremony. I verify that they have their marriage license for the big day and from that point we keep in touch. I make sure they have obtained their marriage license and a week or two before the ceremony, I ask them to look through the ceremony to see if they want anything changed.
After the Ceremony I secure the marriage license and make sure to get any required signatures. I typically turn in / mail the license to the county clerk and then follow up with the couple to assure they have their official copy.
My goal with every couple is to capture the meaning they want to convey in wording natural to my speaking style. This is to ensure the ceremony sounds natural and can be conveyed in an engaging and professional manner. I will collaborate with couples to craft a ceremony that is creative, different and includes the elements and overall message you want on your big day.
