My wife and I loved working with Leslie from start to finish. We knew we were creating a nontraditional ceremony pretty much from scratch. She was there for us during our first hesitant attempts to explain what we were looking for, offered just the right amount of guidance to help us build our ceremony, and delivered it perfectly on our wedding day. Some words were hers, some were ours, but in the end our ceremony really reflected our relationship and included our family in a way that was meaningful to all of us. Many, many friends and relatives - some traditionally religious, some not - told us for weeks after the ceremony how moving they found it and what a perfect job she did. We couldn't agree more! She was always prompt about communicating, in touch the whole week before, and our two meetings with her were always very productive. An amazing amount of attention and assistance for the price.

Leslie was an absolute joy to work with throughout this whole process! Our ceremony was beautiful and her words were so touching. We couldn’t have picked a better person to marry us!

Leslie was great! She was flexible and provided a lot of materials to work with for us to help make our special day exactly what we wanted. The ceremony matched exactly who we are!

Working with Leslie was a dream! She was so flexible with my husband and my schedules, and made the entire process a breeze. She really took the time to get to know us, and the work book she supplied us witb was so helpful! You will not be disappointed.

Leslie officiated our intimate wedding this summer. Throughout the whole process, she was prepared and had such a calming presence, which allowed us to focus on just enjoying our big day. She had a pre-made ceremony booklet with a wealth of ideas that we could choose from, which made planning incredibly easy! My husband and I could not have been happier with how the ceremony turned out. Leslie is truly great at what she does.

Leslie was brilliant overall. Being from out of town, we were limited to Skype meetings to discuss preparations with Leslie who was great at guiding us through the process. She was prompt and a pleasure to be around and really made the celebration an excitement overall with an excellent script guide for us to choose from as well. 100% recommend.

My husband and I can't say enough about Leslie Davenport. We knew we wanted a ceremony that was both personalized and spiritual without being religious, but we didn't know where to start. Leslie provided an excellent ceremony workbook with numerous styles, prayers, and poems to choose from as well as the flexibility to add our own personal touches. Because of her workbook and wise recommendations, our ceremony came together with ease and was exactly what we wanted. Not only that, Leslie provided a calm and sacred presence that allowed us as a couple (and our family who was present) to drop in and feel that we were partaking in a ritual that was extremely sacred yet relaxed. Leslie wove together the designated texts with her natural improvisation, allowing the ceremony to flow seamlessly. Lastly, Leslie was always punctual and professional with emails and appointments prior to the wedding, which put us at ease during the planning process. Although we knew Leslie's services would enable a lovely ceremony, our wedding far exceeded our expectations. Kim R.

With her unique combination of sagacity, humor and love, Leslie Davenport helped us to craft a wedding ceremony that was beautiful, transformative, and sublime. A master of ritual performance, she provided a perfect combination of guidance, structure, and an appreciation for spontaneity, expressing the unique alchemy of our union while at the same time honoring our traditions and shared cultural heritage. Her evocation of the ancestors (softly calling out the names of departed loved ones, accented by the delicate chime of bell) was especially moving. Leslie helped us to devise rituals, symbolically expressing the interweaving our out two lives in a way that accentuated our marriage as a right of passage and a form spiritual initiation. A perfect combination of solemnity and celebration, she helped us create a deeply moving and soulful experience for our families, our friends and us. With great appreciation we offer Leslie Davenport our highest recommendation as a wedding officiant.

Leslie is absolutely amazing - she is the perfect officiant and composer of your ceremony. My husband and I wanted a ceremony that was unique to us and very personalized. Leslie was more – so much more – than a voice declaring us husband and wife. The great thing about Leslie is that, not only is she great at leading a crowd, but you meet her and you feel like you have known her for years. I mean that in all sincerity. She has this special way about her, and you know that she truly finds joy in being your celebrant.


We had no idea where to start looking for a ceremony template, but Leslie had it all! She sent a wedding ceremony workbook that even included romantic sayings and blessings. She is able to customize your ceremony HOWEVER you want it! Leslie was more than accommodating and willing to schedule skype conferences around our time constraints, to ensure that we were comfortable with every aspect of the ceremony. She listened so intently and excitedly to our stories, and I just knew we had made the right choice!


We also asked Leslie to attend our wedding rehearsal and I'm glad we did! We had so much going on and she handled the rehearsal very professionally. It was nice to be able to hand over the responsibility and just enjoy the experiences! Leslie also did all of the leg work for us to ensure that our marriage certificate was waiting for us when we returned from our honeymoon, which was one less thing to worry about. Leslie was a true professional and she put our minds at ease! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a heartfelt, personal officiant. There is not ONE bad thing that I can say about Leslie, I recommend her wholeheartedly, you will not regret hiring her!

Leslie was incredibly supportive and attune to me and my husband while planning our marriage celebration. She was thoughtful, warm, engaging, and officiated a beautiful ceremony - a memory we will always cherish. Thank you, Leslie.
