    Leslie is Incredible. We had such a great experience with her. She really listens to what you are imagining for your ceremony but is also knowledgeable and easily able to guide you in the right direction. I would HIGHLY recommend her services to anyone in need! Thank you so much Leslie!

    Leslie is very nice and easy to work with. She gave us a lot of ideas about the traditional tea ceremony which turned out to be a very special memory on our wedding!

    Leslie was absolutely wonderful . She responded promptly to all my emails and answered all my questions. She's a lovely woman and her vows are one of a kind. Leslie even showed up 45 minutes early to our ceremony to run through last minute details.

    Leslie met with us several times to customize our family vows to include the kids. Perfect! Not a canned set of vows - rather she came to know ipus so the vows were personalized and so meaningful for our family of five. Professional. Personable. And drove to our destination wedding at Alderbrook Resort.

    Leslie is a natural and all the concerns that I had about what we should say all came together effortlessly. Leslie is like a fulcrum and her steady guidance help to create a day that Steve and I will remember with joy the rest of our lives. We feel blessed to have met Leslie and to have her as a part of our happy wedding memories. Footnote: I'm glad that we booked early!

    Leslie is one class act as a wedding officiant. She is professional, prompt and has a great sense of humor. I don't think you will find anyone better. As for the price, my husband thinks she should ask more. She is that good!!!

    Leslie was extremely helpful with walking us through the process and the different ceremony options! She even helped us through a moment of panic when the mother of the bride couldn't find the cermonial license (eek!) but all was well and everything went very smoothly.

    Leslie was amazing! We found out we needed a new officiant quite last minute and Leslie (thankfully) was available. We were very worried about having an officiant that we didn't personally know, but as soon as we met with Leslie we knew she was wonderful! We felt like we'd known her for so long. Less than two weeks after we met was our wedding and in that time Leslie helped us find a ceremony that was perfect for us. We had an untraditional wedding and even actually tied a knot in our ceremony, and Leslie was happy to perform the ceremony. Thank you so much Leslie!

    Thank you Brynn! You two were fabulous to work with and I just loved the setting for the wedding. What a great family!

    Leslie was helpful, responsive and generous with her time and ideas.
    She gave us ideas to find a location and gave us pointers to find the best place for our ceremony.
    She was an incredible support for us.

    I found Leslie on WeddingWire in my search for a flexible and affordable person to perform our nonreligious, but unique and spiritual wedding. We connected immediately with Leslie. She is a sweet and genuine person. We didn't want a standard ceremony - we wanted to incorporate Native American and Buddhist teachings regarding nature and love, etc, and it took us a while to figure out how we wanted our ceremony to go. Leslie was very patient and adaptable (I didn't get the final ceremony script to her until the night before the rehearsal dinner!), and was very responsive whenever I asked for her for input. Leslie was the perfect match for getting our message across on our special day!

    Leslie did a fantastic job! She was very prompt and flexible with changes as they came up. She did a great job providing advice and templates to work from for the ceremony intro and vows. We are not a religious couple and really appreciated that she wrote her speech leaving out any religious wording. Very impressed and highly recommended!

    Working with Leslie was a true delight. She helped us choose the perfect wedding ceremony, and didn't balk at switching out passages or adding readings. We didn't want the pressure of writing our own vows, so she helped us find ones that fit exactly what we wanted to say. We had many compliments on the ceremony from our guests! Thank you, Leslie!

    Her rates are slightly higher then I had expected... but well worth it in the end!

    Leslie Englund was the perfect officiant for our Celtic-themed Tacoma wedding. Leslie was prompltly responsive to her emails, extremely flexible to meet with us whenever was convenient for our schedule, is familiar with local wedding vendors and venues, and above all else, Leslie was always patient and polite! Leslie knows weddings and was always helpful in letting my husband and me know what we needed to get done to prepare for the big day. I would recommend Leslie to anyone!

    Leslie was an excellent officiant. She was very flexible and even came to my home for the rehearsal. Leslie is very professional and easy to work with. She met our demands and worked with our non-religious oriented ceremony. She gave us examples and let us rewrite the ceremony to our liking. She had worked with our DJ before and knew our caterer and florist and the whole team worked together with ease. I would definitely recommend Leslie to others who are getting married.

    Leslie was great. She gave us several example scripts to get ideas, and we ended up making ours very different, and was super flexible. UPDATE: we just had an issue with the county, somehow our marriage license had gotten lost in the mail. Leslie was amazing with following up with them until they located it so they can send me copies! Thanks so much Leslie.
