Lisa was amazing from start to finish! Her bio on Wedding Wire caught my eye over everyone else: she radiated compassion, care, and professionalism. These first impressions were far surpassed when my husband and I met with her for the first time over Zoom. Her demeanor was so calm and kind, we truly felt that she wanted to get to know us deeply as a couple. Her questionnaire was thoughtful and thorough, giving us ample creative room to talk all about our future spouse. From our responses and her conversations with us via email and Zoom, she composed the most thoughtful, personal, memorable oration for our ceremony. Her words truly made it perfect. We felt like she “got” us in every way. She delivered the most amazingly beautiful and personal ceremony that went above and beyond. She performed a hand fasting ceremony for us that we will remember forever. She imbued the ceremony with so much care and meaningful symbolism. She gifted us with a personalized hand fasting cord that hangs above our mantle to this day.

Lisa even came to our rehearsal. Like many couples, we experienced a lot of technical hiccups at our rehearsal, and we were feeling quite nervous… but her calm and professionalism helped guide us through and made us feel reassured and confident for the big day ahead. The big day itself had a bit of a delay due to a stopped train blocking traffic for our guests, but Lisa remained calm and composed and radiated professional composure the entire time, so much so that you couldn’t help but feel like everything was going to be okay. Afterwards, she even mingled with the guests at the reception, which our guests loved!

I couldn’t recommend The Hearth enough. She was prompt, responsive, kind, professional, and truly personable. We love how inclusive she is to all couples and spiritualities. She even made sure to use my preferred name several times during the ceremony (and checked with me beforehand to make sure it was okay.) We have Lisa to thank for our beautiful wedding and the beautiful memories created there.

Lisa is so much more than a phenomenal officiant! She was so kind and courteous, during wedding planning and on the wedding day. She helped us with lining up our important items that we still wanted to be included in our non-traditional wedding, including researching Polish traditions to include in our ceremony! I cannot recommend Lisa enough, she captured our love in such a poetic way, I will never hear the end of how beautiful our ceremony was!

Lisa was not only helpful and professional, but kind , caring, accommodating. She went above and beyond to make sure we were cared for on our special day. We eloped in Detroit from Canada and she was the right choice from that 1st zoom call we had to go over our wishes for our day. She became family that day. Our venue fell through the last minute and she was the reason we had somewhere for the ceremony. She went above and beyond the whole time. We are beyond blessed to have found her. There is no other choice if considering an officiant in Detroit.
