Whether you would prefer an intimate seaside ceremony or a larger celebration,I will strive to personalize every last detail of your “I do” moment.

Truly 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.

A 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.

A pleasure to work with!

We were so happy to have Laurie be a part of our wedding day! Right from the start she was so easy to work with and quick with her responses. She was very helpful with her method of building the ceremony and making sure the processional was organized. She also attended rehearsal which was very helpful and made us confident for the big day! Her ceremony was beautiful and she spoke very clearly, I even received many compliments on how great she was from guests! She continued to be incredible for the wedding day and thereafter with her follow up on marriage license and name change. We are so glad we found Laurie and would recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant! We couldn't have asked for a better officiant!

Hi ! I'm glad you are here-it means you are getting married! Whohooo! How incredibly special is that? I'm Laurie-someone that had a very wonderful corporate career for a long time and then decided to follow my heart and do things that make my heart happy. I teach yoga, I travel, I drink coffee, and I officiate wedding ceremonies (hopefully YOURS). It LIGHTS me up to create memories for couples on their VERY SPECIAL day they will celebrate for the rest of their lives! I deeply feel this is my calling in life and I really am "all in" on the day of your ceremony.

I have won the Couples Choice award for Officiants for the past 3 years in the Tampa Bay Area (Top 5% of Officiants) and I'd love to show you why! Best wishes.
