Abdajah Fowler

I was deeply honored when a close family member asked me to officiate their wedding. The process of working with them to craft a ceremony that was so personal and full of love was an incredible experience, and it inspired me to want to help other couples create that same magic.

I am from Bronx, NY but I live in Upstate, NY.

My goal is to legally officiate weddings and elopements, providing couples with a ceremony that is modern, heartfelt, and entirely focused on their love story. I hope to create a warm, joyful, and stress-free experience for every couple I work with.

I am an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church. This means I am non-denominational and can legally and joyfully officiate weddings for couples of any faith, or no faith at all. My focus is always on the couple's shared love and commitment, not on any single religious doctrine.

My ceremonies are special because they are a true collaboration. I don't use a 'one-size-fits-all' script. Instead, I take the time to get to know my couples, listen to their story, and understand their vision. Whether they want a ceremony that is short and sweet, funny and lighthearted, or deeply romantic, I craft a script that feels 100% authentic to them. My focus is on creating a beautiful moment that is a perfect reflection of their unique bond.

I am based in Port Jervis, NY, and am thrilled to serve couples throughout the Hudson Valley and Catskills region. I am happy to travel to locations in Orange, Sullivan, and Ulster counties, as well as nearby areas in Pike County, PA, and northern New Jersey. As someone who grew up in the Bronx and now lives Upstate, I'm comfortable in any setting, from a city ballroom to a rustic barn.

I am proud to officiate ceremonies for couples of all backgrounds, beliefs, and identities, including non-religious, interfaith, spiritual, and LGBTQ+ weddings. I am also available for vow renewals and elopements. I'm happy to help you incorporate special elements, like a unity ceremony, or assist with writing your own vows.
