    Officiant/ minister

    Lauren spoke beautifully and wrote an amazing, custom ceremony for my husband and I that felt very authentic. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how great it was!

    Absolutely amazing!

    Lauren from the beginning was nothing but amazing. She was so helpful every step of the way with any questions I had and just reassure me it would all work out. She sent me a rough draft of what she would say during our ceremony and after reading the rough draft I told her no changes needed to be made she made it so personal for me and my now husband and it was all we could ever ask for. She always answered in a timely manner and just worked with me every step of the way. I got so many compliments about our ceremony and how amazing not only Lauren was but how she presented the whole ceremony. I would recommend Lauren to everyone she truly was amazing and I couldn’t be more thankful that I came across her information!

    Lauren is a wonderful officiant

    If you are looking for a thoughtful and professional officiant, hire Lauren Seber. We didn’t quite know where to start in terms of planning our ceremony, so we felt very fortunate when we were able to hire Lauren. We had a short introductory Zoom call and filled out a questionnaire. From there, Lauren worked with us to come up with a ceremony script. The tone was just what we were looking for – personal and occasionally funny, but also serious and formal at times. Lauren attended the dress rehearsal the day before the wedding. During the actual ceremony, Lauren had a very calming effect – we knew we were in good hands. We are so glad that Lauren was able to be a part of our wedding—we recommend her enthusiastically!

    Lauren is the best!!

    Lauren is amazing and made our wedding ceremony feel so special. She is responsive, organized, respectful, kind, and so easy to work with. She provided us with a first draft of the ceremony speech shortly after booking her for our wedding, and took any suggestion or request that we had to heart. The day of the wedding itself, Lauren did a great job officiating, and tons of our guests made a point to tell us how great the ceremony was and how impressed they were with Lauren. Additionally, Lauren was a huge help in filing the marriage license application, obtaining the marriage certificate, and changing last names. Overall, we highly recommend Lauren and feel so lucky that we had her officiate our wedding.

    A beautifully done ceremony!

    Lauren was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was warm, professional and incredibly flexible and accommodating of the challenges of 2020! She put together a ceremony that captured the relationship between my husband and me so wonderfully! Lauren was incredibly responsive, and available by e-mail or phone if we wished. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone who would like a customized and meaningful ceremony.

    Exactly What We Wanted

    Lauren provided us with exactly the ceremony we were hoping for. She took the time to get to know our story and combined that with her own expertise to compose a ceremony that was beautiful, personal, and just right in length. Not only did we love her work as a professional, but we really enjoyed getting to know her at the rehearsal dinner (and were thrilled to see all the pictures of her new foster kitten!). Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without her and we would highly recommend her to anyone.

    My ceremony was perfect thanks to Lauren!!

    My husband and I decided to get married in a private ceremony with just our children and witnesses. I had no clue how our ceremony should go. Lauren worked with us to make a completely custom ceremony. She was open to any suggestions I had. Lauren even found a way to incorporate my silly/cute unity ceremony using candy!! She was great with my young kids. The ceremony was so intimate and special. It was better then anything I could have ever imagined. Lauren was also super helpful with the process of applying for the license and information of how to obtain our license after the ceremony. I can not recommend Lauren enough!!

    Ceremonies by Lauren is the best!

    As soon as we met with Lauren for our first chat, we knew that she had what we were looking for in an officiant: down to earth, warm, and genuine. She made the process super easy for us, providing us with many options and ideas and expanding beautifully on ideas and language that we wanted to include. On the day of, Lauren helped keep us grounded, and delivered a lovely ceremony that encapsulated exactly what we wanted. We felt really cared for and like our union was well represented! Multiple folks at the wedding asked if Lauren was a close friend of ours just based on the rapport and ease. She was also super prompt and efficient in assisting with the marriage license process, both before and after the ceremony. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

    Can't recommend Lauren enough! She's just the best

    Lauren was our officiant for our wedding this past June and was a true DREAM to work with. We found her as she was our venue's recommended officiant, and I would recommend her to any couple looking to make their ceremony feel personal. Throughout our wedding planning process Lauren had us a fill out a questionnaire, we talked on the phone, we emailed back and forth several versions of the ceremonies and vows, etc.; it really felt like a collaborative process. Even though we didn't know Lauren before our wedding, she made our ceremony feel so personal. Of all the parts of our wedding it was one of the top things our guests commented on- they couldn't believe that Lauren wasn't a friend of ours! I really can't recommend her enough!

    Lauren is the best!

    Lauren is amazing! She was the officiant at my little sister’s wedding and she was so so great, my fiancé and I could not stop talking about how touching and sweet the ceremony was. She did such a great job that when Andrew and I got engaged we knew that she was the officiant for us. The three of us got to meet so that she could get to know us and our love story so that our ceremony would be personalized to us. She’s so down to earth and sweet and easy to talk to. The ceremony that she wrote for us was absolutely perfect. She threw in some punny jokes here and there which helped keep me and Andrew from crying but it wasn’t too much, it was a wedding ceremony after all. And the best part, after the wedding was over she took care of filing the marriage license for us. Not only is Lauren a great officiant, she’s also a great resource. She was able to recommend a day of coordinator for me and she’s just a great person to reach out to if you get stuck in your wedding planning process.

    Beautifully Done!

    Lauren is amazing. I was introduced to Lauren when I attended another wedding. I knew I would be reaching out when it was my turn. Lauren responded to my emails immediately and we had a phone conference to discuss the ceremony. Lauren's questionnaire allowed my husband and I to give Lauren insight into who we are individually and as a couple. She used our responses to create a beautiful ceremony. She provided us with the opportunity to edit anything we wanted. We were absolutely pleased with Lauren and would recommend her to all future couples. On top of all of this, Lauren has worked with us on the postponement of our wedding. Originally, my husband and I planned to have our entire celebration in the fall of 2020. With everything going on, we decided to have a small ceremony so we didn't have to wait to get married. We asked Lauren if she would be available to return for our big celebration so we could capture it on video. Lauren didn't hesitate to make sure she was available. Honestly, Lauren is wonderful and you won't be disappointed!

    Flexible and Friendly

    Lauren was so great and we're so glad we chose her as our officiant! We had no idea what we wanted to include in our ceremony and Lauren put together a beautiful outline that we were able to edit and personalize. Lauren was also so flexible and communicative.

    Amazing Wedding Officiant

    We hired Lauren to officiate our wedding in October of 2020. She was so great to work with and responsive throughout the entire process (even with a pandemic happening). We had to re-schedule from our original date in June and she was very understanding. She answered all my questions and I had the option to fully read the ceremony script beforehand and directly edit if need be. Luckily not much editing was needed and she had already included an excerpt from one of my favorite readings. After the wedding she promptly filed the license which was such a big help! I would highly recommend Lauren as a wedding officiant – she certainly made the process easy and less stressful!

    Lauren was wonderful

    I found Lauren through a friend, and I'm am so thankful I did. Lauren was incredibly easy to work with and she listened to us and worked with us to help create an incredible day. Our service was expertly written and delivered and I couldn't have asked for a better officiant

    Lauren is the best!

    My husband and I found Lauren through a google search. After reading her reviews we decided to schedule a meet with her! She was super down to earth and we had great chemistry. Lauren made us realize how important and detailed or simply our ceremony could be. She brought back the importance of the ceremony as had forgot because of so much focus on the actual reception. We were able to completely customize our ceremony. We had a COVID wedding and Lauren was super flexible with the changes that we had to make. The day of she was punctual and gave a beautiful ceremony.

    Lauren was the perfect addition to our wedding day!

    When we decided to do a small intimate ceremony because COVID-19 postponed our large wedding, we were nervous to find an officiant. When we came across Lauren and set up an initial call we knew instantly she would be a perfect fit for our day. From start to finish Lauren was attentive, helpful and friendly. She guided us through the marriage license process and provided a questionnaire to make the ceremony more personal. She sent us the ceremony in advance in case we wanted to make any changes. We could not believe how nice the ceremony was and how she really wove in personal elements about our relationship. Lauren was there early the day of the wedding and delivered the wedding flawlessly. She was friendly, personable and energetic. We were so incredibly happy with our choice to book Lauren and cannot thank her enough for making our ceremony so special!

    Beautiful ceremony

    Lauren worked with my husband and me to plan a beautiful summer elopement last August. She was very communicative and listened to our needs and what was important to us in a ceremony. Not only that, but the ceremony she put together for us was thoughtful, creative, and sweet. I can’t recommend Lauren and her services enough!

    Amazing ceremony

    Lauren was so great from our initial email to the day of. She responded quickly to every email and made creating the ceremony a breeze. We had a small backyard wedding (thanks Covid) and the ceremony was the easiest portion. It was heartfelt, beautiful and really encompassed everything we wanted. My mom immediately requested a copy to send to everyone she knows. If you are in the area, pick Lauren!

    Excellent to work with

    Lauren was an absolute doll to work during the stress of writing vows. She did an excellent job guiding us through the process as well as balancing my paganism and my husband’s Taoism to create a ceremony even my Christian family members were gushing over.!

    Wonderful Officiant, Would Highly Recommend

    I highly recommend Lauren to officiant any wedding ceremony. My (now) husband and I struggled to find an officiant we were excited about - we wanted our ceremony to be personal, but needed help with content and the process. Lauren was the perfect fit. She was extremely helpful with guiding us through the process - she was available for phone calls/to meet to get to know us better, took the time to talk through what we were looking for in our ceremony and absolutely nailed it with the content. Lauren was extremely responsive, punctual and professional throughout the process and during the actual ceremony she was very articulate and well-spoken. We had an extraordinary amount of compliments on our ceremony from our friends and family on both the content - which was uniquely "us" - and Lauren individually as being an excellent officiant. Lauren even provided us with helpful information for obtaining the official marriage license and super helpful tips on name change documents that might be applicable as well. She made the process extremely seamless and we didn't have to worry about a thing! Highly recommended!

    Perfect Ceremony

    We found Lauren online and reached out to her via email. We received a response almost immediately. She was professional and stuck to the contract. She worked with us to come create a ceremony costume to our relationship. She even took care to arrive early and confirm name pronunciation. The evening could not have been more perfect!! Thank you Lauren 💜.

    Lauren is very attentive and knowledgeable about the ceremony and after ceremony processes. She worked with our requests to have a simple ceremony and dinner blessing. Lauren was a joy to work with and I highly recommend her for your ceremony!

    Happy with our choice

    We were looking at several different officiants, and we spoke over the phone to 2 or 3. We ended up choosing Lauren because we felt most comfortable with her approach to the ceremony and appreciated the one all-inclusive price. We are very happy with our choice! Lauren met with us in person to get to know us, and she gave us a lot of information and samples to use when crafting our ceremony. She was open to all our feedback and really personalized the ceremony. Everything went well the day of, and she filed the marriage license for us afterward while we were on our honeymoon. We highly recommend Lauren!

    A Perfect Day!

    Lauren did an amazing job creating a beautiful and personal ceremony for my husband and I! She got to know us and our story so that the ceremony would be exactly what we wanted and truly unique. It was a magical day, the ceremony that Lauren created for us helped to make it the best day of our lives! I would highly recommend Lauren to all brides and grooms that want a customized, perfect ceremony!
