An angel on earth!!!!!

We truly cannot imagine our wedding without Laurie. She was one of the most important parts of our day, and we are still overwhelmed with gratitude that we had her by our side. Every single person mentioned how touching, emotional, and beautiful our ceremony was — people could feel the love and intention in every word she spoke. It wasn’t just a ceremony; it was a moment that felt sacred, real, and completely us.

From the very beginning, Laurie made it a point to genuinely connect with us, to understand our story, and to bring out the heart of who we are as a couple. She didn’t just stop with us either — she made sure our bridal party felt comfortable, included, and completely at ease. She’s truly one of the most magnetic, joyous, and loving people we’ve ever met — an absolute angel on earth.

Laurie radiates magic. Her presence is calming, uplifting, and unforgettable. Choosing her as our officiant was one of the best and most meaningful decisions we made. We will cherish the ceremony she created with us for the rest of our lives. If you’re lucky enough to work with her, know that your day will be filled with more love, light, and magic than you could have ever imagined.

Shell Yeah! Laurie Chandler is the Best in the Bay!

If you are looking for a heartfelt, personable & one-of-a-kind officiant, then look no further! Laurie Chandler is truly the best in Tampa Bay. From our very first phone call, we knew she was the officiant for us. She took the time to get to know us & our love story & crafted the perfect ceremony that encompassed our love & personal experiences. We received RAVE reviews from our family & friends - both saying that she was the absolute PERFECT fit for us (which we 100% agree with). She made the process easy, fun & even guided me through the name change process following the wedding. We are truly so grateful to have met & worked with Laurie. She is an incredible officiant & above all else a wonderful human being. Thank you, Laurie, for helping to make our wedding day one that we will never forget! Stef & Justin.

Laurie - Our Celebrant 🤍💍

We had the absolute privilege of having Laurie as our celebrant for our wedding on June 22nd, 2025! I knew from my first call with Laurie that she was the one! Laurie recommended us having calls with a few different officiants before making our decision to make sure we were making the absolute best decision for us, and if that doesn’t show how much Laurie cares about each couple she comes across, I’m not sure what would! Laurie was amazing through the entire process from getting to know us as a couple, putting energy and love into telling our story, and ensuring our wedding guests felt the love on our special day. We were a destination wedding and it was important for us to keep our ceremony outside (rain or shine) and Laurie was EXTREMELY flexible when we were given news that there was a good chance of rain during our outdoor ceremony. She adapted and still was able to convey our entire ceremony seamlessly and beautifully as the rain came down during our vows and last few minutes of ceremony. We truly, from the bottom of our hearts could not recommend Laurie more. Our family, wedding party, and guests had nothing but amazing things to say about Laurie and my husband and I are so happy everyone else saw what we saw in Laurie from day 1. Not only was she apart of the biggest day of our lives, but we know that Laurie will always be apart of our lives and our story in the future. We are so thankful and grateful that Laurie was put onto our path, and we cannot say enough about how amazing she is. We recommend Laurie for your wedding day and know that she was the absolute best decision we made for our wedding day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
