About

The Wedding Monk is a wedding officiant based out of Las Vegas, Nevada. As an ordained Zen Buddhist monk and licensed Marriage Officiant, I specialize in creating personalized wedding ceremonies that can be spiritual but not necessarily religious. Whether you’re planning a simple budget wedding or a fully customized experience, I ensure your ceremony reflects your unique personality, beliefs, and love story.
I welcome couples from all backgrounds, faiths, and traditions—including those who are non-religious. Your wedding day should be as traditional or unconventional as you wish. Let’s craft a joyful, meaningful ceremony that feels true to who you are as individuals and as a couple.

Services Offered
The Wedding Monk offers a selection of packages to choose from that suit a range of needs. The classic ceremony package is ideal for a short and sweet ceremony and offers a succinct, pre-written ceremony. Other packages include The Signature Ceremony and Fully Bespoke, which offer varying levels of ceremony customization tailored to each couple.

An October Wedding

We found Lawrence last minute for an elopement. He was perfect. He said our names accurately, listened to what we wanted. He was articulate, had a beautiful reading and ceremony for us. It was the perfect poetic and spiritual ceremony. Lawrence was calm and collected, made us feel comfortable and was extremely kind. He was even helpful in helping family members bring up items to the ceremony.

Happiest Wedding Day!

Lawrence was so kind and helpful to us. We didn't know what we wanted at first and he walked us through a simple process and questionnaire and then he came up with the most personal lovely and perfect bespoke ceremony for us! Truly a wonderful experience.
