Perfect Officiant

Leah V turned our ceremony into something magical with her beautiful words, timing and thoughtfulness. It felt spiritual without formality.

It truly felt like I was being married by a family member or best friend. I would recommend her for any couple looking for a warm presence on the big day

Must hire!!!

Best and easiest decision of my wedding planning was finding and hiring LeahV. I met Leah in college but didn’t learn about her talent and qualifications until meeting her to discuss wedding details. She was professional from the start but was also so friendly- it felt like we knew her for years! She wasn’t just interested in getting to know us for wedding purposes, but more so on a friendship level. We felt so comfortable with her. I wish we could get married again with LeahV officiating us

Absolutely Stunning Speech

Leah V is by far one of the best professional speakers I've ever met. Not only did she write a beautiful speech for my wife and I, but she made sure to ask before reviewing. She kept the ceremony moving and conducted herself with such grace. I highly recommend using Leah V as your officiant.

The Perfect Vendor

LeahV is a one of a kind writer! The world is full of poets, but LeahV is poetry! Leah is full of life and fierce passionate about what she does! Her ability to capture a couples love story and bring it to life is something rare to find! Having LeahV marry my husband and I was the best decision I could have ever made!

Don't miss out!

I recently had the pleasure of Leah V at my wedding where her services absolutely wowed the crowd. From the moment she took the microphone, she had everyone's attention with her engaging storytelling and charming wit. She seamlessly weaved together anecdotes and heartfelt sentiments, leaving me, the groom. and our guests feeling touched and uplifted. What I appreciated most about her, was her ability to strike a perfect balance between poetic and emotional, creating a speech that was both entertaining and deeply meaningful. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with the vendor's professionalism, talent, and ability to deliver a truly unforgettable wedding speech.
