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!

Lauri Goes Above and Beyond!!!


Laurie was an amazing officiant for our wedding. From our first meeting, she was professional, organized, and genuinely cared about making our ceremony special and personal. Lauri met with us on a few occasions to work with us and never made us feel pressured for time. She is a lovely lady who always made us feel comfortable throughout the process. The ceremony was beautifully delivered and she helped us add little touches that we would have never thought about making it personalized for our situation. Many of our guests commented on how heartfelt and meaningful it was. We are so grateful for the role Laurie played in making our wedding day perfect and would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a wonderful officiant.

More than an Officiant - Lauri was a true gift to our Wedding Day!

We truly could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding than Lauri Ingram! From the very beginning, Lauri made us feel comfortable, supported, and genuinely cared for throughout the entire process. We expressed that we are eloping to Ireland but that our NY ceremony was for immediate family and we needed a heartfelt and personal ceremony. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and created a ceremony that felt so personal and meaningful. We are still getting compliments!

On our wedding day, Lauri was calm, organized, warm, and incredibly professional. She helped ease our nerves and delivered the ceremony beautifully — there were so many emotional moments, and countless guests told us afterward how special and touching it was.

Lauri played such an important role in making our day unforgettable, and we are so grateful we found her and that she was able to join us for our brunch after the ceremony. We would recommend her wholeheartedly to any couple looking for someone who is kind, genuine, professional, and truly talented at what she does.

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
