About

People ask Lori why she became a wedding officiant. Here’s the story, short and sweet. She had friends that were looking for a Rabbi to perform a marriage ceremony for them and could not find one because they were a same-sex couple. They asked if she would become ordained because she knew the Jewish rituals and believes that love is love. That was Lori's first ceremony in 2013.

"As a wedding officiant, I create and perform joyful, meaningful, and personalized non-denominational wedding ceremonies for ALL couples." ~ Lori

Nothing but perfection!

My biggest regret is not booking with Lori sooner! Starting from most important reason - Lori was an amazing officiant. She made our ceremony special and unique to us. I get goosebumps thinking about it! It was beautiful and we still get compliments from our guests three months later. She took time to get to know us to make sure it was tailored to us and our love story. We loved how great of a job she did at making our ceremony not boring and not stuffy. You could tell that Lori truly loves what she does. Everything was seamless from beginning to end. Lori is very good at communicating during the entire process and is very organized. She was very clear on instructions on the tasks needed from our side for all the legal stuff. If you are thinking about booking Lori and team, I highly recommend it! You will not be upset! THANK YOU AGAIN, LORI!!!

Wonderful to work with

Lori officiated our wedding ceremony on 10/14/22. From the beginning, Lori was very professional and responsive. She worked with us to create a memorable ceremony and we loved the personal touches she added in our ceremony speech. Lori made sure we were happy with everything and sent us multiple drafts to approve. Lori answered every question we had and made us feel prepared for our big day. She even noticed that the groom's suit jacket had stitching still on it that needed to be cut. Lori went above and beyond for us and we couldn't have asked for a better Officiant. We definitely recommend her and her team!

Speechless

Lori not only exceeded our expectations, but she brought us and our guests to tears with her beautiful ceremony. Being a same-sex couple, finding the perfect officiant was very important to us. Lori made us feel special and welcomed, and she was able to perfectly capture our story, values, and love for each other. With her artistic writing, unique personality, and even random check-ins after marriage, I don’t think you’ll ever find a better officiant!

Officiant to Family

Lori was absolutely amazing from the first moment we reached out to her. She went above and beyond, bypassed many obstacles, and never left us out of the loop. I couldn't have imagined having anyone else. She was not only our officiant but she became part of our family. We would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone.

Easy non religious ceremony

We loved working with Lori! She was excellent and provided the ceremony we were looking for. She responded to every question I had and explained all of the paper work to us. She was great and we would recommend her to anyone who isn’t doing a traditional wedding!

Excellent and Professional

Lori was extremely organized and professional. She made planning enjoyable and stress-free. She spoke with us many times before the day and also revised the vows as per our requests. She personalized the wedding and made it a very special day!

From the announcement of our engagement to our wedding day, Lori worked with us every step of the way to ensure that we had our dream wedding. Lori was always very professional, replied to emails/texts/calls in a reasonable amount of time, and made sure that we were always ahead of our timeline to stay stress free. On our wedding day, we received many compliments on how the ceremony was truly unique and reflected us as a couple. I would recommend Ceremonies by Lori to any engaged couple who is looking to have a ceremony/wedding day that reflects who they are and truly breaks free from the "cookie cutter" mold.
