Absolutely Astonishing

Our wedding day was extremely special thanks to the services of Reverend Laureen Batsford. She came to our rehearsal prepared with good suggestions and awesome advice, and helped us to create the best experience possible for our wedding day. She is loving, caring, and funny. She’s very experienced, she not only helped us with the wedding service but she helped us figure out how our wedding party could go down the aisle making it fun for everyone. She’s more than just a Reverend she is a friend, she is a guiding light on your wedding day where you feel lost and confused about everything except for the endless love you share with your significant other. Without her and the gleaming compassion she shows towards everyone, I honestly don’t believe our wedding day would have been as special as it was; thank you again Reverend Laureen for everything you did for my husband and I. We will forever be grateful!!

Our exceptional officiant

Reverend Laureen will be a great officiant for your wedding! We found her just 4 months before our wedding date and she was quickly responsive, available to meet virtually a few times to help us plan the ceremony, and she sent us ideas that we were able to use to help us be clear about what we wanted. The day of, she was prompt, casually professional and brought a loving presence to our gathering. We were both so overwhelmed with feelings during our ceremony, we could not remember our vows- she assisted us quietly off mike to help us say them and stay in the moment. Your ceremony will be in great hands with Reverend Laureen.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
