A Ceremony from a Galaxy Far, Far Away (and Full of Love)

Lauri was an incredible part of our special day! She came highly recommended by a friend, and now I know why. From our first email to the ceremony, she made everything feel seamless and personal. She even worked with our vendors and added fun “This is the way” Star Wars moments just for us. The ceremony was the perfect mix of tradition and humor—absolutely us!

100% Recommend!!

We are so incredibly grateful to have had Lauri officiate our wedding! From our very first conversation, she was warm, professional, and genuinely invested in making our ceremony personal and meaningful. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, made us feel comfortable, listened carefully to our story, and crafted a ceremony that felt authentic, heartfelt, and very much like us.

On the wedding day, she spoke beautifully, keeping our guests engaged while creating an intimate and emotional atmosphere. Many of our guests after the ceremony mentioned how much they enjoyed it and what a great job Lauri did.

She really went above and beyond and explained each step clearly, helped with vows, and ensured all legal details were handled perfectly.

Highly recommend Lauri to any couple looking for someone who truly cares and delivers a wonderful ceremony!

Amazing Wedding Ceremony

Lauri was exceptional from start to finish. She met with us multiple times, took the time to explain our options, and sent us all our ceremony details for our review. The ceremony was a true reflection of us as a couple. I could not have asked for a better experience. Many people commented on how well done the ceremony was.

Amazing officiant

Lauri was amazing as our officiant. We had a short engagement and she was able to walk us through all the details of our ceremony and created a very personal and beautiful day. We met a few times so she could get to know us as a couple prior to the date. Could not recommend her more if you are looking for a professional and not over the top officiant who will do an amazing job!

Absolutely amazing

Lauri was tremendously helpful in turning our hurriedly-put-together ceremony into something truly special. As a young couple, her experience in not only dealing with a large amount of ceremonies but a wide spectrum of themes made it so much easier for us to shape and conceive of what we actually wanted.

While myself and my husband follow no faith, our families come from different religious backgrounds and thus we wanted to ensure it had a spiritual element to it. We greatly appreciated her suggestions like tying an "infinity knot" around our hands and passing the rings around and encouraging the audience to "imbue" them with their energy. Our parents were moved by it and our other guests loved it.

There are simply not enough stars to give for her work.

Wonderful experience with Rev. Lauri!

It was a delight to have Lauri as our officiant. Over several months, she worked with us to create a ceremony that felt meaningful and authentic to us. Communicating with her throughout the process was great - she was responsive and fun, and was able to meet with us in person several times. During our meetings, Lauri listened to our stories and the story of our relationship, using this information to develop a beautiful ceremony that really captured "us." When we came to her, we weren't totally sure what we wanted, so she provided several examples of readings and blessings to help us figure out how we wanted the ceremony to go.

Since my husband and I wrote our vows together, Lauri suggested that we still try to incorporate a little element of surprise. She asked us each to send her a few private thoughts about the other person to her, for her to share at the ceremony. This ended up being one of our favorite parts of the ceremony, and our guests' too!

Couldn't have asked for more!

We were lucky enough to have Lauri Ingram marry us on May 17th, 2025, and we truly couldn’t imagine a better person to have officiated our ceremony.

From our very first meeting, Lauri made us feel completely at ease. She met with us several times leading up to the wedding and was always available to bounce ideas off of. Her warmth, kindness, and calming presence gave us so much confidence—not just on the day of, but throughout the entire planning process.

One of the most meaningful suggestions Lauri gave us was the idea to include a tree planting in our ceremony. We planted a Washington Hawthorn tree, which now symbolizes our marriage and blooms each year right around our anniversary. It was such a special, lasting touch that we’ll carry with us forever.

Lauri brings the perfect balance of experience and flexibility—she’ll make the ceremony whatever you want it to be. Her calm demeanor and thoughtful guidance helped make our day everything we hoped for and more.

We would wholeheartedly recommend Lauri to anyone looking for an officiant. She helped make our wedding day truly unforgettable.

So Grateful To Have Found Our Right Officiant

Lauri was fantastic to work with and we are so grateful we found her. She was a caring a nurturing presence throughout, was very receptive to our requested changes as we planned the ceremony script, and was clearly motivated by doing what would be right for us. She met with me and my fiance about four times during our wedding planning process to get to know us and modify our ceremony plan/script to what spoke most to us most as a couple. She was knowledgable about a variety of cultural traditions and helped us incorporate the Irish Hand Fasting Blessing into our ceremony, providing us with an everlasting, unique memory and memento (the handfasting chord) of our promises to each other. We received several compliments from our wedding guests about Lauri's ease and professionalism while she officiated our wedding. We highly recommend her! - Tess, May 2025 Bride, Bill Miller's Castle
