I cannot speak highly enough of Liz with Have Lover Will Travel. We knew that we wanted a meaningful ceremony that highlighted the importance of the marriage and our love…that the wedding wasn’t just about a party but about the incredible connection between two people that leads to a moment like that. To say that Liz accomplished this is an understatement. From the first moment we first spoke with her, it was clear that she was a storyteller, a romantic, and an artist at heart who would bring our story to life. She did just that. She crafted a ceremony that made our guests ask us how we knew her, because she so intimately encapsulated our story and love. She told our story in a way that brought us back to the beautiful moments that led us to that day and that took our guests there with us. We got neverending compliments about how beautiful, personalized, and touching our ceremony was. On top of that, working with Liz was seamless. She has such a professional and calm presence, she created a timeline and never wavered from it, and she allowed us to be as involved as we wanted in the process. As if this wasn’t enough, she went above and beyond on the actual wedding day. When our morning was turning into chaos, and I as the bride was feeling all of the stress, she arrived like a calm breath of fresh air. Her peaceful presence immediately made me feel more at ease and confident that the ceremony was going to proceed just fine. She handled the marriage license within the chaos to keep our ceremony on time, reassured us, and then presented a flawless ceremony. Liz made the actual getting married part of the wedding completely seamless and stress-free, and I am forever grateful. We had such a wonderful experience with her that we then hired her to plan our honeymoon. We are in the midst of this now and she is again exceeding expectations (will post a full review of this once done!). If you’re looking for an officiant or honeymoon planner, you are missing out if you don’t work with Liz. Seriously, this is your sign to book her now! -

Hiring Liz as our officiant was one of the best decisions we made in wedding planning! The process of working with Liz is so easy, fun, and seamless - she created something so beyond special that we will never forget in our lifetime. Our ceremony was the highlight of our wedding and set the tone for the rest of the night! All of our guests were so engaged throughout our ceremony and captivated by her portrayal of our love story! Liz did such a fantastic job collecting and integrating all of our memories and stories to create the most meaningful ceremony! She took the time to make sure it thoroughly represented both of us, our families, and any traditions or readings wanted throughout.
So many of our guests came up to me and said how wonderful and talented Liz is and that it was the best ceremony they had ever been to! Her words, emotion, voice, cadence - all of it was just so perfect! Her presence added such a loving, joyful, and calming energy to our ceremony, and her ability to depict our love story in such a beautiful way really made the night. Working with Liz is a once in a lifetime experience; she makes the process so effortless yet heartfelt. We are so very thankful for Liz, and we can’t recommend her enough to couples looking for an officiant!! -

Book Liz, like yesterday!!!
Liz was the best decision we made for our elopement day! We eloped and had to find someone pretty last minute. She quickly responded to my initial inquiry, was very professional and accommodating from the very start. From the first time we met her over zoom, we just knew we could trust her with our special day. She is incredibly talented and creative in the way she builds your custom ceremony. Truly inspirational. We will never forget how beautiful our marriage ceremony was, thanks to her beautiful work. She went above and beyond for us, helping with great recommendations for our elopement day cake & other local activities outside of the ceremony. She was kind enough to take even more time out of her day to walk to another location after our ceremony to sign paperwork elsewhere, per our request. She mailed out our marriage certificate for us and we received our license in the mail in less than two weeks. Our whole experience with Liz was pleasant and seamless. I would recommend her over and over again. -

Liz was the most incredible officiant we could have wished for. We found her by chance online, but as soon as we'd had our first conversation with her, we knew she was perfect for us. We were travelling from the UK for an elopement in NYC. Liz had lots of great advice for us and information on what we needed to do. She put a ton of work into our ceremony, getting to know us and our story, filling the ceremony with personal details. On the day, Liz delivered the ceremony with emotion and sincerity, making the entire thing feel entirely personal and unique to us. She communicated brilliantly, made sure we were part of the process from start to finish. and was keen to emphasise we could contact her as often as we needed to. We would not hesitate to recommend Liz to any couple. -

Liz was our dream wedding celebrant/officiant. We were blown away. She went over and above for us, is exceptionally talented at bringing together personal quotes about your partner and turning it into a heart-warming story, and is an incredible storyteller, writer and speaker. She put so much effort into our ceremony outline (which was a live document that we all fed into) and was receptive to any changes we had. Above all, Liz is so kind and thoughtful. My husband and I are New Zealanders and decided to elope in New York in August 2023. Given our international location, Liz offered to help us with small things we hadn't considered - printing important documents, meeting our witnesses in advance, letting us know when/how to book an appointment at the City Clerk, helping us with key moments during the day such as setting up the confetti tray/cones, and completely managing the marriage certificate process and getting this sent to NZ. We had multiple Zoom meetings and Liz even met up with us in person a couple of days out from the wedding! She understood our very relaxed "Kiwi" way of doing things which we appreciated. Our guests also commented on how lovely and talented Liz is. It really was a 10/10 experience. We are so glad we stumbled upon Liz and her business online. We would recommend Have Lover, Will Travel to ANYONE getting married (or eloping) in New York. -

Vanessa C. Sent on 01/03/2024A wedding ceremony that felt like a movie!!
Just as her website describes her vision and style, Liz is all of that plus more! She is incredibly creative, open to suggestions, professional, reliable, and intuitive, and we were absolutely thrilled with the way she conveyed our story to our wedding guests! Our ceremony truly felt intimate, full of love, and honest, and she avoided all of the frills I personally dislike in many wedding ceremonies, without sacrificing the importance of details in the storytelling. I recommend Liz 1000% to anyone wishing to have their wedding officiated on their own terms. Thank you a million times, Liz!! You made our special day unforgettable. -

Exceptional Wedding Coordination and Officiating by Liz: An Unforgettable Experience!
We recently celebrated our wedding, and we cannot praise our wedding coordinator and officiant, Liz, enough for her extraordinary work. Liz went above and beyond to ensure that our special day was absolutely perfect, and we are incredibly grateful for her dedication and attention to detail.
Right from the beginning, Liz worked tirelessly to coordinate with all our vendors, ensuring that everything stayed on track leading up to the wedding. Her meticulous planning and organization kept us at ease throughout the entire process. We never had to worry about any detail being overlooked because Liz had everything under control.
One of the highlights of our ceremony was the love story that Liz beautifully crafted for us. Her words were heartfelt and captured the essence of our relationship, leaving both us and our guests deeply moved. She made the ceremony truly special and personalized, making it an unforgettable moment for everyone present.
On the day of our wedding, Liz's day-of coordination was flawless. She managed every aspect of the event with precision and professionalism, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Thanks to Liz's expertise, we were able to enjoy our special day without a single moment of stress. Her calm and composed demeanor kept us relaxed, knowing that she had everything under control.
We were amazed by Liz's thoughtfulness in making arrangements for our dog after the ceremony. It was a relief to know that our furry family member was in good hands, allowing us to fully enjoy our reception. Liz's attention to even the smallest details truly made a difference in our wedding experience.
Liz ensured that all our vendors worked seamlessly together, creating a cohesive and harmonious atmosphere. Her responsiveness and proactive approach made us feel supported and taken care of throughout the entire planning process. She is an outstanding wedding coordinator and officiant who went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Her attention to detail, organizational skills, and genuine passion for her work truly made a difference.
If you're searching for a wedding coordinator and officiant who will exceed your expectations and create an unforgettable wedding experience, we wholeheartedly recommend Liz. She will ensure that your special day is filled with love, joy, and beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.

Christina R. Sent on 04/08/2023Hiring HLWT was the best decision
Liz created the ceremony of our dreams! From the moment we first spoke with her, we were thrilled to know she would play an integral part in our elopement. She's extremely organized and was also very kind and patient with us throughout the process. It was deeply meaningful the way she not only told our love story, but incorporated so many other aspects of our lives into the ceremony (family, how we were raised, how that shaped us into the people we are today, etc). She cares tremendously about making this experience exactly what each couple wants it to be. I cannot recommend her enough. -

If you're looking for a passionate, kind and attentive officiant- look no further, Liz is the right person for the job. My fiance and I probably interviewed about 5 officiants and knew within the first 5 minutes Liz would be the one we had to hire. From our first consultation, she was so engaged to learning about who we were, how we met and what kind of wedding we wanted to have. As we approached closer to our wedding day, she sent over a questionnaire for both my fiance and I to fill out about how we met, what we loved about each other, our family and other personal information for her to put together the ceremony. About a month or so before our wedding, we did a ceremony walk through and my fiance and I immediately cried. Liz did such a beautiful job in capturing our love and story. We worked on slight edits and then she also helped us edit our vows.
On the wedding day, she was prompt and arrived for our quick walk through and helped everyone know what to expect for the actual ceremony. She made sure our marriage license was signed and mailed it out while we were on our honeymoon. She was super organized and professional. Highly recommended!! She executed flawlessly and guests couldn't stop raving about her ceremony ! -

Veronica P. Sent on 03/02/2023Thank you Liz!!!
We adore Liz! I am a wedding planner and I have seen Liz produce personal ceremonies for so many of my clients. When it was time for me to get married she was the only person I wanted to marry us. Every single client she works with she gives a tailored and unique experience to. She is a delight to work with but just a genuine good person...you want her there for the most important moment in your life! Thank you Liz xx -

Incredible & Special
Have Lover Will Travel was the first and best choice I made for our wedding.
Having Liz officiate was having an artist & a friend bring us together. She retold our story as if it were the most important one in the world. She created a tension and warmth in the room, and brought everyone to laughter and tears. Even now, it feels like a close & brilliant friend brought all of us together.
Too bad that, to work with her again, you have to get married again. 💛 -

Lauren R. Sent on 02/07/2024Committed, aware, deep and beautiful
Liz was our answer. Her level of care for each of her clients is unparalleled. She took the time to get to know us, what we were hoping to achieve in the ceremony, and worked fastidiously with me to perfect our wedding. She came to our rehearsal and saved the day with her calm awareness, attention to detail, and presence. The peace of mind as she also handled the paperwork is not to be discounted, but her talent with language and presentation are awe-inspiring.
Our guests commented that they wanted to know how she knew us so well. What friend was she. I like to think that while she wasn't our friend before becoming our officiant, she is now.
Something worth noting. Members of our families were skeptical that we weren't doing a church ceremony. Would it really feel like a wedding? Our two biggest critics were in tears and left saying that it was an incredibly personal, connected, and a deep blending of my husband and me, our families, and our beliefs.
We can not recommend Liz and HLWT enough. She even reached out a year later and offered to make a book with our journey and use some of our wedding photos which made us have this special and beautiful memory. -
