Laura was perfect and exactly what I envisioned for our ceremony. Besides the bride & groom, the officiant is very important to set the tone, the vibe I was looking for. She was so easy for us to talk to. Laura came into my room, and just her calming presence met the world to me. Family members were stuck in traffic heading into the Cape, and she reminded me that it was ok and that we had all the time in the world! Words cannot express how much her sentiments met me! The ceremony was exactly what we hoped for--bilingual, we do not practice any faith in particular, but she incorporated a spiritual piece, along with the blended family ceremony. It was perfect! She came back into my room and fixed my hair! All the guests commented on how amazing she is as an officiant! Laura is lovely and we all highly recommend her! Laura--we are so grateful that we had you as our officiant.

Perfect Bilingual Ceremony
I spoke to Laura after she was recommended to me and I saw how great her reviews were. Laura was hired just a few days before my wedding as our original officiant cancelled. She was extremely responsive when we messaged her and let us know she would be able to do our service in English and Spanish which was amazing for my family. She was extremely patient as when she got to my home I was still in the process of getting dressed. The ceremony was beautiful, and she was supportive as we tried to get through our vows (we were super emotional) but she was absolutely wonderful and I’m so happy I was able to find and hire her. Thank you so much!!!

She was amazing !
Laura was beyond helpful in making our day special. She made me feel comfortable and calm. Our first phone call she was very thorough and she presented different ideas to me. We weren't sure where to begin when it came to planning the ceremony, but she guided us and made sure it was exactly what we wanted, she was knowledgeable and informative. We have a blended family and she informed us of adding the option of a Sand Ceremony which we thought was a special added touch. She really took the time to get to know us and make sure our ceremony was exactly how we wanted it. Planning a wedding can be a bit chaotic and she made sure to make everything as easy as possible. I am beyond grateful to have had her as a part of our wedding day.

Beautiful Bilingual Ceremony
We were so lucky to have found Laura! She delivered a beautiful bilingual ceremony that had many of our guests in tears. She is so warm and lovely; the perfect person to have on your wedding day. She even came to our rehearsal and met our bridal party ahead of time. We cannot say enough good things.

Laura was very kind to us and her writing was beautiful. We wrote our own vows and she was very quick to respond to us when I asked for a second set of eyes to view my vows because I was so nervous. Book her and trust me you would not regret it.

In a word, Laura has gravitas
Anyone can say the words, but what you look for in an officiant or justice of the peace is a person for whom the words have true meaning. This takes a depth of life experience, integrity, a spiritual connection. Laura brought all this and more when she officiated our ceremony. We can wholeheartedly recommend her.

Book Laura!
My husband and I extensively searched for a Justice in the greater Boston area that would be able to curate a bilingual ceremony and we are so glad we finally found Laura! We booked Laura only a few weeks before our wedding and she was incredibly helpful as we were getting our marriage license. She also helped us develop a ceremony that was meaningful, personal, and allowed us to incorporate our culture. Our guests really enjoyed our bilingual ceremony and we were so happy to be able to include our non-English speaking family in the most important part of our day. We greatly appreciate Laura and highly recommend her!

Wedding Officiant
Laura was amazing to work with! She was flexible and always reassured us things would work out (this was during Omicron 1.1.22). She took the time to get to know my husband and I and the night of our wedding every turn fell into place and her speech came from the heart. Many family members and friends commented on how they enjoyed the ceremony! Would definitely recommend Laura to anyone looking to get married!

Look no further!
We could not have asked for a better officiant! Laura was absolutely amazing to work with from day one all the way through the ceremony. She was very kind, welcoming, transparent, and flexible. She took the time to listen to and understand us.
Throughout our wedding planning process, the ceremony was the one thing we were most nervous about, and she made it as smooth sailing as it could be. We could not have asked for a better ceremony and are truly appreciative of everything you've helped us with. Thank you so much Laura for being a part of our special day!

Book Laura! You won't regret it.
We booked Laura in 2020, about a year before our wedding date. Throughout the year of planning, not only was she responsive but she was also helpful in creating a vision for what we wanted.
A few days before our wedding we received news that Hurricane Henri was going to make a landfall in Rhode Island on our wedding day. So of course, our stress levels (okay, maybe just mine) were through the roof! Laura called me before our wedding day with such kindness that I immediately felt at ease after hanging up.
Thank God the hurricane didn't hit Providence as expected and Laura made it from MA to RI safely while providing updates along the way. Upon her arrival she met my husband and I in the bridal suite, provided a rundown of the ceremony and answered questions. She even offered to check our marriage license to ensure that everything was done correctly. Although the weather was okay and guests were filling up the venue, I was still very anxious up until the ceremony and appreciated her presence as we waited for the ceremony to start.
The ceremony was beautiful; Justice Laura brought our vision to reality. I am so grateful that our paths crossed. Justice Laura will be embedded in our wedding memories forever. Thank you, Laura!

Laura is lovely!
My husband and I eloped at an art museum in January of 2021. We wanted an intimate ceremony and chose to have no guests present, so the pressure was on regarding the choice of an officiant.
We are beyond grateful to have found Laura! She is so polite and sweet (and “hip” - it’s surprisingly challenging to find a younger officiant). Laura was very helpful with the process of formatting vows and giving advice about what to do during the ceremony - things she could only have learned from experience.
She conducted herself with professionalism but felt like a friend. We are so happy to have made her a part of our special day! :)

Perfect day!
Laura is incredible at what she does. Because of Covid precautions, we were only able to meet once via facetime before our elopement but it felt as though we had known Laura for years. She was so kind, sweet, and funny and was very open with our location which required a short walk through some woods! We loved having her officiate our intimate elopement and our day was better than we ever imagined it could be.

Amazing Bilingual Ceremony!
We LOVED having Laura officiate our wedding. Working with her is a dream! She is very easy going and her energy is so calming, even despite her being so busy. She did not make anything feel rushed even though she had 4 total ceremonies the day of our elopement. She followed COVID protocols and made us feel safe.
Laura officiated our bilingual ceremony beautifully in both English and Spanish, flawlessly and seamlessly flipping between both languages. It was so important for us to include both sides of our families in the ceremony, and we are SO thrilled that Laura made that happen. I am sure she would also deliver a wonderful monolingual ceremony.
Before the ceremony, Laura coached us through the process and was very responsive to emails. We had one phone call with her for a consultation before we booked the date. She convinced us to write our own vows, which I am so glad we did in hindsight. Had she not recommended it, we probably would not have done so. Also, not to be vain, but Laura is seriously GORGEOUS (if you don’t believe me, just look at the pictures). Don’t hesitate to book her!

You are too sweet. Thank you so much for your lovely message. You guys were amazing to work with. The day was absolutely beautiful and I was truly honored to have officiated your ceremony. Wishing you all the best!
