Just wow! My vow renewal became even more special once I found Lauren. Her support and complete genuineness made the process leading up to the day a piece of cake. Lauren’s guidance individualized my husband and I love on a whole new level, adding that magical effect.

We loved working with Lauren she went above and beyond to incorporate our unique asks into the ceremony and really helped make it feel special. We wanted to incorporate D&D and a dice roll in some way and in spite of not being overly familiar with the rules Lauren took the time to research Dungeons and Dragons and came up with the wonderful idea for us to roll for initiative in order to determine vow order. It was such a great way to incorporate our love of D&D into the ceremony. She really took the time to get to know us and tailor the ceremony to our story. She helped us feel at ease during the entire process and brought a calm presence on the day of that was wonderful. Lauren was very responsive and professional. She made the entire process so easy. We are so happy we were married by Lauren! The photos attached were taken by Jocelyn Voo at Everly Studios

A-Z - Lauren is the best officiant for your wedding!

I have always believed in the saying “Everything happens for a reason!” and this couldn’t’ be any truer in our attempt to figure out how to get married in NYC on a short notice. My partner & I decided to elope, and we were so clueless on how to go about organizing the logistics involved in two foreigners getting married in New York. We stumbled upon Lauren during our attempts to contact the City Clerk of NYC and we never had to worry about a single thing once we signed up with her. From explaining each step of the process, getting to know us to make the ceremony more personalized and to organizing the photographers, the logistics around the venue etc., Lauren was there for it all. She is amazing, super-organized and knew exactly what we needed to make our day super-special! Even after our wedding day, she supported us in getting our documents and is just a call/message away if we need help. I must also mention the wonderful photographer (Gregory) who took brilliant photos of our wedding.
For any one looking to get hitched in NYC or even outside of, I would definitely say Lauren is the best officiant to consider!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
