Absolutely wonderful!


Lauren was the absolute BEST officiant we could have asked for on our day. From the very moment I reached out to Lauren she was kind and receptive too all my questions. She was organized and even set up an in person meeting with us before our wedding so she could go over important details and familiarize herself with us. She provided us with a packet that explained exactly how to do the marriage license and name change process which was so thoughtful and helpful for us. At the meeting we were able to decide how we wanted our ceremony to go and what exactly we wanted read off. Lauren personalized our ceremony and was able to create a beautiful ceremony that had our guests crying but was also concise (which was important to us). The day of the event Lauren was beyond professional, making sure she had everything she needed to send of our marriage license. She delivered the ceremony with poise and grace. We seriously can not thank her enough for playing such an important role on our wedding day and I will forever recommend her to ALL future couples for their wedding ceremonies.

Lauren was amazing. Dhe was very professional, personalized everything, and made our special day one to remember forever. She made sure that when we met to discuss vows and plans to ask a lot of questions to get to know both of us and to see how we wanted everything to turn out. She took notes and frequently checked in with us to make sure everything was running smoothly. Would definitely recommend her for any couple!
