  Nothing but perfection!

  My biggest regret is not booking with Lori sooner! Starting from most important reason - Lori was an amazing officiant. She made our ceremony special and unique to us. I get goosebumps thinking about it! It was beautiful and we still get compliments from our guests three months later. She took time to get to know us to make sure it was tailored to us and our love story. We loved how great of a job she did at making our ceremony not boring and not stuffy. You could tell that Lori truly loves what she does. Everything was seamless from beginning to end. Lori is very good at communicating during the entire process and is very organized. She was very clear on instructions on the tasks needed from our side for all the legal stuff. If you are thinking about booking Lori and team, I highly recommend it! You will not be upset! THANK YOU AGAIN, LORI!!!

  Ali, thank you so very much. It was an honor and a pleasure to work with you both. And always nice to run in to amazing couples at other weddings, that either I am officiating or attending! Wishing you both all the best in the many, many, many years to come.

  Wonderful to work with

  Lori officiated our wedding ceremony on 10/14/22. From the beginning, Lori was very professional and responsive. She worked with us to create a memorable ceremony and we loved the personal touches she added in our ceremony speech. Lori made sure we were happy with everything and sent us multiple drafts to approve. Lori answered every question we had and made us feel prepared for our big day. She even noticed that the groom's suit jacket had stitching still on it that needed to be cut. Lori went above and beyond for us and we couldn't have asked for a better Officiant. We definitely recommend her and her team!

  Speechless

  Lori not only exceeded our expectations, but she brought us and our guests to tears with her beautiful ceremony. Being a same-sex couple, finding the perfect officiant was very important to us. Lori made us feel special and welcomed, and she was able to perfectly capture our story, values, and love for each other. With her artistic writing, unique personality, and even random check-ins after marriage, I don’t think you’ll ever find a better officiant!

  Officiant to Family

  Lori was absolutely amazing from the first moment we reached out to her. She went above and beyond, bypassed many obstacles, and never left us out of the loop. I couldn't have imagined having anyone else. She was not only our officiant but she became part of our family. We would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone.

  Excellent and Professional

  Lori was extremely organized and professional. She made planning enjoyable and stress-free. She spoke with us many times before the day and also revised the vows as per our requests. She personalized the wedding and made it a very special day!

  Easy non religious ceremony

  We loved working with Lori! She was excellent and provided the ceremony we were looking for. She responded to every question I had and explained all of the paper work to us. She was great and we would recommend her to anyone who isn’t doing a traditional wedding!

  From the announcement of our engagement to our wedding day, Lori worked with us every step of the way to ensure that we had our dream wedding. Lori was always very professional, replied to emails/texts/calls in a reasonable amount of time, and made sure that we were always ahead of our timeline to stay stress free. On our wedding day, we received many compliments on how the ceremony was truly unique and reflected us as a couple. I would recommend Ceremonies by Lori to any engaged couple who is looking to have a ceremony/wedding day that reflects who they are and truly breaks free from the "cookie cutter" mold.

  Just don’t..

  My husband and I booked Lori to be our officiant. We chose the endless love package which includes 3 script revisions/edits, travel to the ceremony, arriving 30min early, and reviewing with the photographer/videographer prior to ceremony to assure they get the best shots.. also we booked her to come to our rehearsal the night before. The total of this came to $600. We had a video chat with her before we booked her. We put down our deposit and filled out about a 7 question questionnaire. Final payment was due before we got our first script. I got the first script about 2 weeks later after final payment.. and to be honest, I was very upset with it. The whole questionnaire we did, Lori only used one part of my husband’s and she literally copy and pasted what he wrote.. So she would be talking in first person about when he proposed to me. The rest of it was basically like a script you would here at every other wedding. I paid the higher package because I wanted it to be personalized.. fortunately, I was able to edit it and change it to make it more personal. When I got done editing it, I realized one major issue… the ceremony date AND time were wrong. I thought oh maybe because she obviously uses this script for many weddings, she accidentally forgot to change the time and date. Well I resubmitted the script, and approved it once she sent it back. One week out from my wedding, my wedding planner called me to discuss all my vendors and the plan. Well, she got to Lori and informs me Lori won’t be able to come to the rehearsal. Which is an issue because, she is the reason we have rehearsal. Also, she messed up the time our wedding ceremony started. The plan was for 3:30 the whole time, and she thought it was 5. Which explains why she had the wrong date and time on our script. I was very upset about how she messed up the time, date, didn’t really have a personalized ceremony script, and was now saying she couldn’t do rehearsal. At that point my husband and I decided to fire her. I didn’t care if we got our money back because I wanted her to have nothing to do with our most special day. We found a new officiant less than a week away from our wedding and he met with us, got to know us and wrote the most beautiful ceremony with NO GUIDANCE! Firing Lori from being our officiant was the best thing we did. Our ceremony was beautiful and not one dry eye was present. Do yourself a favor and just don’t book Lori, it isn’t worth it. Keep scrolling. Book someone who takes the time to get to know you and your husband. On the up side, she did give us a 50% refund.. which is better than nothing.
