Nicole C. Sent on 01/28/2023Truly speechless from our experience with Laurie!
I’ve been holding off on this review because I honestly don’t know what to say. Laurie is just absolutely incredible. Our guests are still raving about the beauty and love portrayed throughout our ceremony. Everyone assumed Laurie was a member of our family because of the passion and joy she brought to the day!! Working with Laurie was a pleasure, together we worked and reworked the ceremony until we felt it was perfect. The entire process was so much fun for my husband and I, it allowed us to revisit so many of our old memories! Family and friends commented that they learned so much about our relationship from the stories that Laurie worked into our ceremony. The amount of work that Laurie puts into each couple is mind boggling, she truly commits herself to her couples and it shows in the final product. If you want the most incredible and special ceremony, not only for you but for your guests, you need to stop reading reviews and call Laurie right now! Laurie will always hold a special place in our heart and we look forward to remaining in touch with her.Laurie Chandler Celebrant's reply:

The Perfect Sailboat Ceremony
Me and my Husband did a sailboat elopement ceremony and had Laurie do our ceremony for us. She was PHENOMENAL. She took so much time getting to know us and really personalize our ceremony to make it special. She was always very responsive and flexible for us. I can’t say enough good things about her, we LOVED her and loved how much she put into making our big day special for us.Laurie Chandler Celebrant's reply:
Lydia,
THANK YOU so much for choosing me and these kind words. What a treat to be the Officiant for you and Nagib! That was truly magical being on that sailboat and I could FEEL how much love you two have for each other. Truly a very special wedding for me. I wish you both SO much love and happiness! xo -

Jasmine W. Sent on 04/28/2024A dream come true ceremony!
We loved working with Laurie as our officiant! Laurie was very detailed as far as every aspect of our ceremony. She provided a questionnaire to both my husband and I to complete to assist her in writing our ceremony. She handled all of the details from there, including adding some religious aspects. Additionally, Laurie gave guidance on how to write our own personal vows which was incredibly helpful. We honestly couldn’t imagine our day without Laurie. All of our guests commented on how beautiful our ceremony was and how great of a speaker Laurie was. If you are considering booking her, do it.Laurie Chandler Celebrant's reply:
Oh Jasmine and Stephen! Thank you with all my heart for the kind words! Your wedding was so special to me..you two are truly meant to be and you were a dream couple to work with. Your love story touched my heart and what can I say about Palmer the Pup? He stole the show :). Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness.
Love,

Brian R. Sent on 04/11/2024Thanks to Laurie, our wedding day was perfect!
Such an amazing experience Laurie provided for our special day. She is organized, professional, extremely personable, and her communication skills are absolutely stellar. Not to mention, her friendly demeanor makes you feel so comfortable on a very happy yet potentially stressful day. Pre Wedding preparation, She goes out of her way to make sure to include everything that is important to you, to be included in the ceremony. Being from out of state, she provided so much information about the proper paperwork needed, so we were well prepared on our wedding day During the actual ceremony, she interacted with everyone, and made us all feel special. She has an amazing ability to speak very clear, while projecting a joyful aura. After our wedding day, she provided so much detail on the follow up process of changing the brides last name and other details that will be helpful. I can’t stress enough how amazing Laurie is. An absolutely amazing experience from beginning to end!Laurie Chandler Celebrant's reply:
Brian and Christine

Absolutely fantastic officiant!!
Wow, Laurie is so amazing at her craft! We were so lucky to have met her and chosen her to officiate our small, intimate wedding of 25 guests. Every step of the way she made it so easy and romantic! Our ceremony was so very personal to our story and everyone at our celebration told us she did a phenomenal job at telling it. Our families were surprised to learn we had only met Laurie 5 months prior, and yet she knew us so well and could speak about us as if we had been life long friends. What an amazing ceremony thanks to Laurie! She made our ceremony feel perfect! My husband thinks of her as a cherished friend because it was so wonderful and easy to be with Laurie.Laurie Chandler Celebrant's reply:
Kelly- THANK YOU for these kind words! What a beautiful setting and day for a very beautiful couple! It truly was an honor and joy getting to know you both and meeting your family and friends and bring you two to Mr and Mrs! Your story was so special and full of love. I wish you both SO much love, happiness, and joy always!
Love,

We wanted someone to officiate that we felt told our story in a personal way, and Laurie did that and more! She really helped with so much when it came to planning the ceremony and relieved so much stress on that side! We had so many guest sending compliments towards her for the ceremony she created, and it truly felt like we had a personal relationship with her by the end. Couldn’t recommend her enough- choosing to work with her will be the BEST decision you make for your ceremony!Laurie Chandler Celebrant's reply:

Laurie made our wedding PERFECT!
Laurie was the absolute best choice we made hiring vendors for our wedding. From our first phone call all the way to the wedding day, she kept constant contact, delivered promptly on her timelines, and kept the process very collaborative while also providing the guiding expertise you want in an officiant. She wrote our entire ceremony and was very receptive to tweaks/suggestions, wanting to make sure it was curated perfectly for us as a couple. She has the couple fill out an extensive questionnaire so she can make the ceremony very personalized and unique. She makes the effort to learn your family names — she even took a moment at our rehearsal to share with my mom some of the things I had written about her in the questionnaire, and it was a very emotional moment. She goes above and beyond in every detail and interaction during the whole process. You won’t regret booking her for one second. Thank you for everything Laurie!!Laurie Chandler Celebrant's reply:
Ally-I'm emotional looking at these pictures and reading this review. Thank you Thank you Thank you from the bottom of my heart for choosing me for your special day. You and Tyler have such a wonderful love story and I felt it from the moment I interacted with you two--that the love was so deep. I loved EVERYTHING about meeting you both and marrying you! These pictures say it all.....you two brought me so much joy! I wish you a lifetime of love and happiness xo

We had the pleasure of having Laurie officiate Our Wedding! One of the best decisions we made in vendors. She is very informative and responsive. She really poured her heart into our ceremony and we love her for that. It was such a beautiful moment we will forever cherish. She is very respectful and cheerful. She made sure to get every detail, down to the seating chart for the first two rows. We are so blessed to have had her officiate Our Wedding. If you are in need of an Officiant, look no further❤️ -

Jenna C. Sent on 03/15/2023How Does She Do It?
My new husband and I are pretty quiet people who mostly keep to ourselves. We are not public speakers. When we got engaged, the one part of getting married that we were worried about was our ceremony. We got so lucky when we found Laurie. She somehow managed to take a few very non-descriptive sentences and turn them into an absolutely beautiful love story. I don’t know how she was able to write a ceremony that spoke so perfectly to us, but she did it. I’ve been to a few weddings before, and I know a lot of guests are usually just waiting for the ceremony to end to get on to the party, but not this time. After the ceremony, my guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful it was and how Laurie had managed to find so many perfect details to put into the ceremony that fit our specific story. I am so grateful to Laurie for being a part of our wedding. It wouldn’t have been the same without her. Her process to tailor a wedding to the couple and her way with words when writing a ceremony are simply unbeatable. Thank you Laurie!Laurie Chandler Celebrant's reply:
Jenna, This means more to me than you can possibly know! You and Chris gave me more than you know and it was easy to see the love you have for each other and the appreciation of each other. You were so kind to me before the wedding -even letting me sneak a selfie of us :). It was an HONOR to bring you two to Mr and Mrs...truly it was. You two never took your eyes off each other! Wishing you both a lifetime of love! THANK YOU AGAIN!

Donald A. Sent on 12/05/2022Empathetic, Heartfelt and Genuine
We truly cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Laurie, not just as the officiant for our beautiful ceremony, but most importantly, as a person. She exudes a genuine passion, love and attention to detail for writing wedding ceremonies. She took Our Story and created a beautiful, touching, heartfelt personal wedding ceremony out of it. It was more special to us than she will ever know. Serving couples in this way truly is a gift she has been blessed with… One that is not only seen, but FELT. We are so honored to have found her and feel blessed beyond measure to have her compassionate heart touch our lives. Thank you Laurie… for everything.
In Christ,
Donald and SommerLaurie Chandler Celebrant's reply:

If you are looking for a person to get to know each of you as individuals, bring you as one for a very meaningful and life changing ceremony. Laurie is the one. We would have not wanted anyone else to have been part of our wedding as a celebrant.Laurie Chandler Celebrant's reply:

Katie F. Sent on 03/29/2024Laurie is the BEST! ❤️
Laurie was absolutely amazing as our wedding officiant, and we wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking a truly personalized and memorable ceremony! From our first meeting, Laurie's approach stood out as uniquely thoughtful and tailored to us as a couple. She took the time to really get to know us by having us fill out a questionnaire, which allowed her create a ceremony script that felt incredibly personal and special. And she welcomed our input and feedback openly, ensuring that every word reflected our love story. Additionally, Laurie provided great tips for writing our own vows and applying for our marriage license, which made the administrative side of things a breeze.
On the day of our wedding, Laurie brought such a wonderful energy and warmth to the ceremony. Our friends even thought we'd known her for years. If you're looking for an officiant who will make your wedding day unforgettable, Laurie is the one you need. She's the best!Laurie Chandler Celebrant's reply:
Katie and Sam! THANK you with all my heart for these kind words! I LOVED your wedding and love story and you both brought such love and lightheartedness to the day. It was truly my honor to be the one that brought you two to Mr and Mrs and I wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness! Thank you so much for choosing me! xo -

Nikki P. Sent on 11/28/2022JUST WOW! Laurie is the best of the best!!!
Let me tell you, choosing Laurie was the best decision we made throughout the wedding process! Laurie is unlike any other celebrant. She was the most professional, put together, knowledgeable, and personable vendor we spoke to. Usually when you go to weddings, the ceremony is the most dragged out/boring part, but not at ours. Laurie told our story, filled our guest in on our personalities and shared some of our future goals. Our friends & family couldn’t get over her story telling capabilities. One person said “she didn’t even stutter, not once”. Another friend said “I barely saw her look down at the paper, it was like she was telling a story, straight off of memory”. Aside from the incredible ceremony she put together, the steps leading up to the wedding is what really blew us away. Laurie was extremely detail oriented, helped us with our marriage license, and communicative. Last but not least, she looked the part. She came to the rehearsal, and wedding dressed to impressed, and we LOVED that. I would recommend Laurie to anyone & everyone who’s getting married. She’s absolutely a 20/10 as far as diligence, professionalism, and skill.Laurie Chandler Celebrant's reply:
Nikki! Thank you and oh my goodness !! This review makes me so happy ! You and Nick were a dream to work with and your wedding was BEYOND! I loved meeting everyone and your story was an honor to tell. I’ve told many people - you two are absolutely meant to be !! It was a joy and privilege to bring you two to Mr and Mrs! Thank you with all my heart for everything ! 💕💕💕 -

Perfect Ceremony!
Laurie wrote an amazing, personalized ceremony for me and my husband. She worked with us from across the country, meeting over FaceTime and listening to our story. She was so helpful with our wedding license, and she sent us helpful resources along the way. Months later, I still get compliments about our ceremony from friends and family. She was amazing to work with, so sweet, and we are so happy that we were able to choose Laurie as our officiant.Laurie Chandler Celebrant's reply:
Olivia,
Thank you SO much for these kind words! It was an honor to bring you and Max to Mr and Mrs! I loved your story and I am so glad you trusted me with something so special! I wish you two a lifetime of love and happiness (and fun!). -
