Leora was the first person we called about being our officiant, and we are so glad we did! She did a wonderful job and we couldn't have picked anyone better. She was very responsive, helpful, professional but warm and enthusiastic, had great suggestions when we wanted them, but also provided ample room for us to construct the ceremony we wanted. She could charge 3 times what she does and it would still be a great value! Plus, she proved that she can handle whatever your wedding may throw at her-- including, in our case, a dog licking her leg during the ceremony! I'd recommend Leora's officiating services to friends, relatives, or perfect strangers.

Flexible and kind

We had a great experience with Leora. We are getting married with a full wedding in the spring, officiated by a dear friend. We wanted to get legally married first, and we asked Leora to do the brief ceremony for it. She was easy to work with, flexible, and brought heart and depth to the experience. Highly recommend!

Best wedding officiant!

We are beyond grateful to have had Leora as our wedding officiant. From our very first meeting, her warmth and kindness made us feel truly supported throughout the entire planning process. Leora took the time to get to know us, forming a genuine connection that was evident in every aspect of our ceremony.

Her ability to weave our story into a beautiful narrative was nothing short of magical. Leora's talent as a writer and speaker shone through as she delivered a heartfelt ceremony that resonated deeply with our family and friends. We received countless compliments on her eloquence and the emotional depth of her words.

Choosing Leora as our officiant was one of the best decisions we made. We felt so confident in her abilities, and she exceeded our expectations in every way. We absolutely adore her and cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you, Leora, for being such an integral part of our special day. Your support and intention made it truly unforgettable!!
