  Caring, Professional and Dedicated

  Meeting Lauren to officiate our wedding was nothing short of fate. From the moment we first connected with them, it was as if we had found a long-lost friend who was meant to play a pivotal role in our special day.
  
  Lauren possesses a remarkable gift for connecting with people, we found ourselves instantly at ease. They have an uncanny ability to delve deep into understanding a relationship, and their genuine interest in our love story was evident from the start. What resulted from this deep connection was an extraordinary ceremony that was nothing short of masterfully handcrafted and heartfelt.
  
  Lauren's dedication to us went far beyond the initial meeting. They made themselves readily available day and night, patiently answering our questions and providing guidance about the ceremony and beyond. Their unwavering support and accessibility eased our minds and made the entire process incredibly smooth.
  
  When the big day arrived, Lauren's presence was a true gift. Their genuine joy and enthusiasm mirrored our own excitement, and it was clear that they were just as thrilled to be there with us as we were to have them. Their words during the ceremony were beautifully crafted, a testament to their commitment to making our day as special as it could possibly be.
  
  Lauren is not just an expert in their field; they're a friend who genuinely cares about the couples they work with. It's rare to find someone who combines professionalism and a warm, caring heart the way they do. We were guided through this important journey by not only a true expert but also a true friend.
  
  We couldn't have asked for a better person to lead us into this new chapter of our lives. If you're looking for someone to make your wedding day extraordinary, look no further than Lauren. They're the embodiment of what a wedding officiant should be – caring, professional, and dedicated. We are forever grateful for their role in making our day as perfect as it was.

  The Best of the Best

  My husband and I couldn't be happier with our decision to have Lauren as our officiant. From the first moment we met with her, we knew that she would truly bring such a magical and loving energy into our wedding day. We always envisioned our ceremony as the most important part of our special day, and with Lauren's partnership, guidance, love and support, it was beyond perfect! My husband and I learned so much about each other through the planning process, and knowing we had someone we could authentically check-in with and intentionally listen to our concerns was nothing short of amazing. She made sure that we felt supported in writing our vows, practicing our gratitude, and felt ultimately supported going into this lifetime commitment. Lauren's hand-crafted, non-cookie cutter ceremony was genuine, warm and showcased all the love and emotion that represents our relationship. We are especially thankful for all of the laughs!! I can't recommend Lauren enough, and our marriage journey together is even more special with Lauren being a part of it!

  Lauren = BEST

  Having Lauren as our officiant was one of the best things we ever did for our wedding. Before the ceremony itself, we had talked with them via virtual meetings so that we could all get to know each other. By the time we had officially met face to face on our wedding day, it felt like meeting a friend we hadn't seen in years. They emit a warm, fun, and welcoming vibe that makes you feel safe and seen while you chat with them. Lauren is the voice of reason and helps you feel validated with your feelings. The way they ran the ceremony was very professional and smooth, transitioning from one section to the next effortlessly. We loved how we were also able to make changes to the ceremony draft. It gave us peace of mind knowing that we could remove or reduce parts that we weren't comfortable with sharing with our guests, and adding segments that we really wanted to implement. After the ceremony, numerous guests told us how much they were impressed with Lauren. They loved how Lauren told everyone our love story, how clearly they spoke, and how it felt like our officiant was a good friend that we had known for a long time. At the end of the night, the other vendors came up to us and praised Lauren, saying how amazing it was to work with them. The DJ even told us, "They were easily the best officiant I have ever worked with." My wife and I are so proud to say that we chose Lauren as our officiant. If we had to do our ceremony over and over again, we would choose Lauren every time. If anyone reading this is unsure about booking with them, we highly suggest you do. They even mailed in our marriage certificate for us right after the ceremony! Talk about going above and beyond! Lauren, thank you for everything that you've done for us. We had an amazing experience with you and have absolutely no regrets. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

  The Best!!

  We loved Lauren. We initially wanted something super fast and straightforward and they helped us see the value in going slow and putting a lot of thought into our ceremony so we could focus on our love and our time together and what we wanted our future to look like. Found her here completely by chance and we feel so lucky!! Perfect for our elopement in every way. Pricy, but worth it for the time and effort she puts into it.

  Overwhelmingly happy with Lauren's partnership!

  My husband and I decided to work with Lauren after we witnessed her great work as an officiant for a friend's wedding. After our initial call to determine if there was a fit, we knew immediately we wanted to work with her. She treats the entire process holistically and professionally. She wanted to really understand us, what drove our relationship, and how we felt about each other as a couple. This level of depth allowed her to support us in our year+ journey throughout the engagement! She also coached us on how to think about our ceremony and our vows, but always allowing us space to be authentic and vulnerable.
  
  During the actual ceremony, she captivated the crowd and there was not a dry eye in sight! She truly made our ceremony and journey special, and we felt like we've gained a true friend throughout the process. I could not recommend her more!

  Made our special day even more incredible!

  Lauren took deliberate care in getting to know us and discerning what would strike the right chord for us on our wedding day, she put in the time and effort but did not create a burdensome process for us - and the outcome was absolutely perfect. All of our guests adored her presence and delivery. I would absolutely recommend her to any of my friends/family or strangers

  Lauren is awesome!

  I saw Lauren the smile is what drew me in and I knew I HAD to contact her. I wanted my wedding filled witb live and laughter and I knew from looking at all the photos of other couples, we'd get that with Lauren. When I showed my partner they agreed whole heartedly. And guess what? Lauren was absolutely amazing! My partner and I loved the process she had us go through. Though we have been together for many years already, discussing our relationship with Lauren really made us love each other even more! Definitely the best vibes and a wonderful person that helped and made us more excited to get married!

  Game changer!

  Everyone was BUZZING after the ceremony talking about how different it was than most ceremonies, and the reason? LAUREN!
  First of all, she took a lot of time to know us and our story. Those sessions gave us an opportunity to dive deeper into our relationship and I found out things I didn’t know about my partner that brought us even closer. She made herself available for us to talk and always reassured us when we were overwhelmed with wedding planning. Then came the final day. The ceremony is where people tend to get distracted, and not as focused as it can get a little boring and long. Lauren however had all the guests laughing and completely attentive through the whole time. People even said they wanted to get remarried just to have Lauren do the ceremony! She made the ceremony personal and magical, just the way we wanted it. She was one of the highlights of our wedding!

  LAUREN Will Make your dreams come true! Our wedding was a fairytale!!!

  There are no words to express how deeply touched my husband and I are by Lauren and what she has brought to us individually and as a couple. She is inspiring, genuine, heartfelt and overall THE BEST at what she does. She made our wedding so incredibly special. From the moment we met her we knew we wanted her to officiate our wedding. She allowed us to really dig deep and learn about ourselves. To go out of our comfort zone and to be a resource for anything we needed. She was very approachable and made herself always available to reach out to. She also would always check in and reach out to us as well. We love her personality!
  Lauren made the experience unforgettable. After our ceremony several of our guests raved about Lauren and said it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to because of the special touches she brought to our ceremony. Thank you Lauren from the bottom of our hearts for everything! We will miss our zoom check ins, but we know that you will continue to inspire others to make their wedding dreams come true! Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without you! We want the world to know that you should most definitely pick Lauren as your officiant! We love you Lauren!

  Simply the Best!

  Lauren is the absolute best. She officiated our wedding, and it was an even better ceremony than we could have hoped for. Lauren took so much time to get to know us and understand our relationship. And she crafted the most beautiful, custom ceremony. My husband and I are not religious, but we have plenty of loved ones who are. She struck the perfect balance so that everyone at our wedding felt invested in our love and our marriage. Lauren also took the time to learn about Mexican wedding traditions so that I could incorporate pieces of my heritage into our ceremony. My husband also gets extreme anxiety before public speaking, and Lauren was so helpful for him. She gave him tools to ease his nerves and regularly checked in with him to see if he was making progress! Lauren made my husband and I feel so understood, loved, and celebrated. She is truly the sweetest person we have ever met. And our guests absolutely adored her. Some of the comments we got: “She is like an angel!” “Best ceremony I’ve ever been to.” “I thought she was a close friend of yours, she knew you both so well.” If you are on the fence, you should absolutely hire Lauren. This is one of the biggest days of your life, and Lauren will make sure you get your perfect ceremony!

This makes me soooo happy "Lauren made my husband and I feel so understood, loved, and celebrated" I'm so glad you felt that way. As you should! On your wedding day, and every day. Sending so much love and gratitude your way! xoxo Lauren

  The best decision you'll make for your wedding!

  Lauren is a very special person. I found her while searching for someone who could not only officiate my wedding but to help guide the ceremony with love and grace. We could not have chosen a more kind, loving, supportive and passionate person to perform our wedding. I knew she was the person for us when I confided in her my many stressors and worries when it came to my wedding. She was open and helped me navigate my feelings so well. I had no idea how to say what I wanted to my husband and Lauren broke it down so beautifully and there was not a dry eye at the ceremony. Her process in getting to know me and my partner felt so personal and very comfortable. She was unbelievably flexible with our busy and crazy schedules as a neurodivergent family.
  
  One of the most special moments, among so many, was when I walked down the aisle and stood in front of my partner. I was so excited and yet so nervous. Lauren helped us relax when she asked if we wanted to hug each other. She knew that this would help us both connect. I could not be more grateful for everything she has done for our family. During the ceremony, we wanted to include our son as much as possible because it was not only a marriage of two people but a merging of a blended family. My partner said vows to our son and presented him with his adoption certificate. Lauren made sure he felt seen and comfortable whenever he needed a moment because he is also Autistic. I know she’s done this so many times, but it truly felt like we were her only clients. Choosing Lauren is like choosing a member of the family. We will never forget everything she did for us.

  The absolute best!

  We could not be happier to have found Lauren to officiate our ceremony! The entire process was so special, brought us together as a couple, all while Lauren was taking the time to get to genuinely know us as a couple. She kept us calm and present throughout our wedding day, and we still get comments (months later) from guests that our ceremony was incredible. Because she takes such care and time to get to know her couples, each ceremony is original and tailored specifically to the couple, which was so important to us. I couldn’t imagine our day without Lauren having been there to officiate!

  Jim & Robin!! Thank you so much. I LOVED getting to know you both....the stories, the laughter, the promises of warm cuddles mid ceremony! LOL Thank you for saying YES to this adventure together. I'm so glad you had such a positive experience! All my love, Lauren

  A Personalized and Unforgettable Wedding Ceremony!

  Choosing the right wedding officiant was one of the most critical decisions in planning our big day. We were fortunate to have found Lauren, and we can confidently say that our wedding ceremony was nothing short of magical, thanks to her exceptional services.
  
  From our very first meeting, Lauren impressed us with her warmth and attention to detail. Lauren took the time to get to know us as a couple, our love story, and our vision for the ceremony.
  
  Ahead of our big day, one aspect that we will forever cherish was the 'welcome circle' during the wedding rehearsal that brought friends and family together and grounded everyone to be present about the love-filled and celebratory weekend.
  
  On the day of the wedding, Lauren radiated positivity alongside her calm and reassuring demeanor, which put our nerves at ease. Lauren conducted the ceremony with grace and our guests commented about how special it was.
  
  Lauren exceeded our expectations in every way, and we will forever be grateful for the incredible ceremony she delivered. We highly recommend Lauren's services to any couple seeking a memorable and personalized ceremony. Thank you, Lauren, for being a part of our big day!

  We love Lauren!!

  Working with Lauren was the best decision we made for our wedding. The ceremony is the heart of a wedding, and Lauren is a true master of ceremonies. Lauren has so much wedding expertise, not only in the logistics of it all, but also in the emotions that can come up in planning and having a wedding.
  
  My partner and I are both queer and trans, so a lot of aspects of the traditional wedding ceremony didn’t resonate with us. Lauren helped us to conceptualize what we wanted in our ceremony, how we wanted to feel, how we wanted our guests to feel, and so much more. Her process not only helped us create a ceremony that felt meaningful and unique, but also helped us grow stronger as a couple. Lauren asked all the right questions to get us thinking about what was important for our wedding, what getting married meant to us, and our expectations around marriage.
  
  In the end, our ceremony felt so perfect and special. Our guests were so moved and thought Lauren must have been someone we had known for years! If you’re getting married soon, I can’t recommend Lauren enough.

  Sam & Laura, thank you so much for this beautiful review and for all you shared with me along the way. As queer & trans folks especially (myself included), it's so important that we feel seen, cared for, supported and celebrated for who we authentically are. I'm so so SO glad you felt that way. I did too! Sending you both so much love, Lauren

  One of the best & easiests decisions for our wedding!

  Having Lauren officiate our wedding was the easiest and quickest decision we made for our wedding! During our very first meeting, we felt instantly connected with Lauren. She is incredibly warm and is genuinely interested in getting to know you and your relationship. As we went through our wedding planning journey, Lauren not only provided resources for the vows and ceremony, but she also gave us tools to get us through wedding planning stresses. She was always reachable and communicative if we had questions, and her knowledge and experience is impressive. Lauren will make sure you have the personalized ceremony that is right for you. For us, we wanted a mix of humor, thoughtfulness, and inclusiveness...Lauren delivered on all counts. We got rave reviews from our guests, and because her script was so spot-on about us, most people thought she was a long-time friend of ours! We can't thank Lauren enough for helping make our special day exactly how we envisioned!

  Do not hesitate to hire Lauren!!

  The minute we met Lauren we knew we wanted her to be part of our wedding day. She is an amazing human who emanates light and love. Working with her leading up to our wedding was so much fun. Lauren offers amazing guidance and support on creating a ceremony that is personal and heartfelt.
  
  I cannot count the number of our guests who said that our wedding ceremony was the best that they had ever attended and that Lauren was so amazing. Just the other day my mother in law was still raving and it’s been almost two months since our wedding!
  
  With all of the details that need to be arranged and vendors that need to be hired when planning your wedding, it’s easy to forget that the whole point of your wedding day is the ceremony itself. So while it may be a bit painful to invest money into that aspect of your wedding day, hiring Lauren was 100% worth it!! If we had it to do all over again, Lauren would be at the top of our vendor list.
  
  Lauren, thank you so much for giving us a wedding ceremony we will never forget. We love you!

  Say YES to Lauren! More than officiant!

  We ‘interviewed’ several wedding officiants as we were looking for someone we would vibe with that felt more like family or a close friend vs. someone that we hire just to marry us and sign our paperwork. We weren’t feeling seen by most officiants, but the moment we met with Lauren, we were INSTANTLY sold. Lauren had the vibe we were seeking; a magnetic, warm, welcoming, kind and present person. You could feel Lauren’s love and attention fully showing up for you.
  You feel their compassion as well as excitement to hear about you and learn about your love story. My (now) wife and I were smiling so hard the whole time we spoke and when we hung up, it took us 30 seconds to decide - “YES” to Lauren.
  It was important to us to have someone officiate our love story with a depth and understanding of the LGBTQ+ community as a same sex couple. Lauren truly invested in our journey to marriage - not just to officiate, but to help us reflect and understand the reason why we chose to marry each other in the first place. My wife and I went through some very challenging times leading up to the wedding that put a strain on our happy moments, but Lauren was there to catch us, coach us, lift us up and navigate those difficult moments. We laughed, cried and shared so much in the year leading up to our big day. Lauren brought us together in ways no one else could and we partnered on and curated the most beautiful wedding ceremony together. Lauren guided us on our vows and gave us great insights and direction whenever we needed it. Lauren’s rehearsal was so special and meaningful - something we won’t forget and the wedding ceremony was so well delivered that our wedding guests went up to them afterwards to compliment them and had assumed we’ve been friends for years! Lauren was exactly what we wanted and now, more than ever, is like family and part of our growing community. We love Lauren and know you will too, no matter how you identify and who you love - Lauren’s your person!

  Lauren is the BEST!

  Choosing Lauren as the officiant for our October 2022 wedding was the best decision! I can not recommend her highly enough. We were tempted to go with our wedding planner as officiant to keep it simple, but I kept coming back to Lauren. We set up a Zoom to see if we'd be a good fit and our 11-year-old daughter joined as well. After wonderful conversation with much laughter we got off the call, looked at each other, and all three of us said, "Yes! Lauren has to be the officiant! We love her!"
  
  Lauren's process is thorough, interesting, and fun. It gave us an opportunity to get to know each other better as a couple and made for a wonderfully personal and individual ceremony. Lauren worked with us every step of the way, even giving me edits and tips on my wedding vows. Before and during the ceremony she was a supportive, calming, and joyful presence. And she hit the ceremony out of the park! Everyone raved and raved about it and her!
  
  As my sister put it, Lauren is a joy-bomb. Her light, warmth, and joyousness are infectious. I can not recommend her highly enough! We feel so grateful that she was a part of our special day and brought to much to it. Thank you, Lauren!!

  Lauren was our DREAM officiant and more!

  My partner and I instantly felt the connection we were looking for with Lauren within minutes of our first zoom consultation call. Lauren is a warm, heart centered, courageously vulnerable and magically creative officiant. She puts her soul and full self into all she does. She felt more like a queer fairy godparent guiding our wedding path than a officiant- officiant , just doesn’t capture it. Lauren played so many roles for my partner and I who were eloping in Montgomery Woods in October. From the beginning Lauren soothed our anxieties, helped us dream and work from a mindset of abundance rather than sacristy when it came to our special day. I hadn’t even realized how much I was holding back on vision and embracing the potential for our wedding ceremony until Lauren walked us through her unique couples discovery questionnaire. It helped us imagine the colors, the setting, the content of our vows, and much more. Laurens ability to hold space for authenticity to emerge is something very special. Eloping so that we could have a more private and personal ceremony shielded from hard family dynamics, Lauren made the process warm, silly, genuine, and helped us really celebrate. Lauren holds space so gently and with care. She helped us form and carry out our vision of a fairy tale Trans Queer Jewish chuppah-built-from-red-woods dream wedding! Lauren even supported us putting up the chuppah, toting her hatchet and ladder along on the day. Ask her for pics ;) Jack of ALL trades !
  
  Lauren is someone we now consider a dear friend and an integral part of a very special day. If you’re looking for someone to hold your queer love dear and create the wedding ceremony of your dreams, run, don’t walk straight into Lauren’s trusted officiant services. Thank you so much Lauren

  Absolute dream!!

  Lauren was an absolute dream! We came a video of one of her other weddings and she spoke to us, we had to have her! She really took the time to get to know us and in the process we got to know each other even better! We wanted to make sure we didn't have a mad-libs style ceremony and man did she deliver! My guests and my vendors were all RAVING about her! Everyone felt like they knew us so much better after the ceremony and she knows how to engage a crowd! Her whole vibe is intoxicating and we are beyond grateful she shared this experience with her!

  Love, love, love Lauren!

  I cannot speak highly enough of Lauren who officiated our wedding in August 2022. From the moment we first spoke with her, we knew that she was the perfect person to officiate our wedding ceremony (and we let her know within 10 minutes of hanging up the phone!) She was incredibly warm, kind, and bubbly, and made us feel completely at ease.
  
  One of the things that stood out to us about Lauren was her commitment to getting to know us as a couple. She asked us to fill out a detailed questionnaire about our relationship and what marriage meant to us, which she used to craft a beautiful and personalized ceremony that perfectly captured our love story.
  
  During the ceremony itself, Lauren was a calming and reassuring presence, guiding us through each step with grace and poise. Her delivery was flawless, and her words brought tears to our eyes and smiles to our faces. Several of our guests told us afterward how much they liked her.
  
  What really set Lauren apart from other wedding officiants was her willingness to go above and beyond for us. She gave us her phone number and encouraged us to text her about anything at all, whether it was wedding-related or not. She truly cared about us as people, not just as clients.
  
  Even after the wedding was over, Lauren has continued to keep in touch with us, checking in to see how we are doing.
  
  In short, I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for an officiant who is not only skilled at what she does, but who is also warm, caring, and committed to creating a ceremony that truly reflects who you are as a couple. She made our wedding day unforgettable, and we are so grateful to have her in our lives.

  We love Lauren!

  Lauren officiated our wedding this past July and was such a special part of the day and the preparation leading up to it. She worked with us to craft the perfect ceremony. It was better than we could’ve ever expected and all our guests remarked about how wonderful she was! Throughout the discovery and planning process she was always patient and receptive to any of our thoughts or ideas. She assuaged any of our concerns or worries and coached us through the vow-writing process as well. We don’t plan on getting married again, but if we did we would choose Lauren all over again!

  Cannot praise Lauren enough!

  Simply said, Lauren has a gift! I first saw Lauren in action at a friend’s wedding. I was in awe of the whole experience, because it is an experience. It was like nothing I had ever seen. Bringing two people, telling us their journey of love in such a beautiful way. It was amazing, like Lauren. I had no partner at the time nor plans to be married anytime soon but I knew that I wanted Lauren to officiate and work her magic on my special day. I was excited to take her card and keep it until my day came. A couple years later, I found my soulmate and when we started planning our wedding, she was one of the first vendors I reached out to. Lauren was so inviting, she embodies the energy of life and love. She talked us through the whole process. She got to know us not just as a coupon but as people and she gave us homework but it was worth it to really discover and know what my partner thought and felt about me and our future life together. She gave us a preview of what the ceremony would look like. It was everything we wanted. My partner and I were to wed in 2020 but because of the pandemic that didn’t happen. Lauren was always checking in on us and making sure we were okay. A do dir any updates. We really appreciate her for that as our venue kept rescheduling our wedding date and Lauren was always trying her best to be able to accommodate the new date. We were finally able to get marred this year, in 2022, and we are both extremely happy and honored that Lauren officiated it. Go with Lauren, I believe she is some kind of Cupid. Everyone at our wedding said that they hadn’t witnessed something like it and thought it was beautiful. Thank you Lauren for all you did for us and all you do for everyone on the their journey of love!
