Laura did an amazing job on our special day. We were recommended Laura through Lehigh Valley Celebrants and she definitely did not disappoint. Within two minutes of ending our initial meeting, my husband and I knew Laura was the officiant for us. We connected very well. She then took all the little details and created a personalized ceremony just for us. She took the time to get to know us and our relationship, and also gave us flexibility in what we wanted or didn’t want in the ceremony. She made us feel comfortable at the altar on the day of the wedding, and prepared us beforehand for what we could expect. From a complete stranger to someone who was able to beautifully portray us as a couple, our guests kept asking us if we had known her a long time. Anyone who is looking for a great celebrant for their big day, Laura is the woman for you!

Laura Eppler from the Lehigh Valley Celebrants was the officiant for our wedding. We wanted a non-religious ceremony bespoke to our personalities and interests since both of us are Atheists and from different cultures. We interviewed a few people before deciding on Laura because she seemed easy to talk to and not at all pushy. She wrote something that captured important details from our relationship. Laura gave us a lot of creative control over different aspects of the ceremony and even went along with some quirkier requests to incorporate Dax and Worf’s wedding ceremony from Star Trek into our own. Additionally, my husband is Chinese so we wanted to include a kowtow ceremony to respect his heritage. Laura seamlessly threaded everything together so all the different parts fit without awkwardness. For our personal vows, she provided feedback throughout and helped us write something meaningful for each other. We opted to not have her at the rehearsal so I was nervous about the ceremony, having not met her in person but she was just as kind and wonderful in person as she was in our zoom chats. Our ceremony had a technical malfunction where the microphone died but Laura simply proceeded and spoke louder. Everyone was still able to hear her, despite having to continue without amplification outdoors.
Afterwards, my guests told me they found her warm and welcoming. One guest specifically said he falls asleep during ceremonies but stayed awake for ours because found Laura captivating and easy to follow.

We absolutely loved working with Irene from LVC- from our initial meeting to our wedding day Irene was there offering advice and being one of our biggest cheerleaders. She put together a beautiful ceremony based on our questionnaires, which felt more a conversation Irene always wanted to know more and that made it so comfortable and enjoyable.
She listened to what we wanted and incorporated our wants into the ceremony. Our day wouldn’t have been as special without Irene.
