Caring, Professional and Dedicated
Meeting Lauren to officiate our wedding was nothing short of fate. From the moment we first connected with them, it was as if we had found a long-lost friend who was meant to play a pivotal role in our special day.
Lauren possesses a remarkable gift for connecting with people, we found ourselves instantly at ease. They have an uncanny ability to delve deep into understanding a relationship, and their genuine interest in our love story was evident from the start. What resulted from this deep connection was an extraordinary ceremony that was nothing short of masterfully handcrafted and heartfelt.
Lauren's dedication to us went far beyond the initial meeting. They made themselves readily available day and night, patiently answering our questions and providing guidance about the ceremony and beyond. Their unwavering support and accessibility eased our minds and made the entire process incredibly smooth.
When the big day arrived, Lauren's presence was a true gift. Their genuine joy and enthusiasm mirrored our own excitement, and it was clear that they were just as thrilled to be there with us as we were to have them. Their words during the ceremony were beautifully crafted, a testament to their commitment to making our day as special as it could possibly be.
Lauren is not just an expert in their field; they're a friend who genuinely cares about the couples they work with. It's rare to find someone who combines professionalism and a warm, caring heart the way they do. We were guided through this important journey by not only a true expert but also a true friend.
We couldn't have asked for a better person to lead us into this new chapter of our lives. If you're looking for someone to make your wedding day extraordinary, look no further than Lauren. They're the embodiment of what a wedding officiant should be – caring, professional, and dedicated. We are forever grateful for their role in making our day as perfect as it was. -

From Germany with Love
Working with Lauren was the best decision we made for our wedding. Being located in Germany, we were unsure about the specifics of a California ceremony and didn't want to rely on generic internet research. Lauren provided incredible, proactive support from day one.
What sets Lauren apart is the discovery process. It isn't a "standard procedure"—it’s a deep dive that helped us get mentally and emotionally prepared for our marriage. Everything was handled with professional ease before, during, and even after the ceremony. If you are looking for a celebrant who offers full support and a non-standard, authentic approach, we cannot recommend Lauren highly enough.-

You found the best, so you can stop looking!
When my husband and I got engaged, one of the first things we talked about was having a ceremony that felt like us. A ceremony that wasn't the same script we had heard time and time again in movies, but something that celebrated our individuality. Lauren was highly recommended by our venue and even after the first email, we knew they were someone special. After our initial zoom call with Lauren, we knew they were exactly who we were looking for! Lauren's process is so unique and takes you through an in-depth look of why you're getting married in the first place. The questionnaire you fill out in the beginning of phase one takes you out of the logistics of planning a wedding and back into feeling the love; the whole reason you're even getting married! Lauren made us feel seen, loved, and cared for as if we had been friends for several years! Not only did Lauren create a beautiful ceremony that came from their heart, but it perfectly captured our love story and the love we have for each other. Everyone who attended our wedding thought we had known Lauren for decades and said the ceremony was their favorite part of the day as they loved how unique and special it was! Lauren also helped us with a vow resource that was incredibly helpful to organize your thoughts into the perfect way to express your feelings to your partner. Our day was the most magical day in our lives thus far, and we have Lauren to thank greatly for that as they helped us bring so much love and light into our day! If you're looking for a ceremony that feels intimate (no matter the guest size), captures your story perfectly, and that radiates love and happiness; choose Lauren! I promise you and your family will be talking about the ceremony for years to come. We love you Lauren! -

The BEST Love Celebrant!
Lauren is absolutely phenomenal at what they do!! Lauren made our day so special and filled with love, emotion, kindness and joy. My husband and I have been through a lot in our time together. But we’ve come out stronger on the other side. Lauren took note of this and helped us cultivate an experience that acknowledged the challenges and celebrated the growth, our love and our commitment.
Before working with Lauren, we felt excited and happy to celebrate our day of love. But after working with Lauren we realized how much more there was to celebrate. Lauren guided us in celebrating our love, our growth together, our growth individually and the love around us (friends, family, pets). Lauren enhanced our experience with their great questions and exercises they provided for us. My husband and I were able to dig even deeper and truly celebrate our love this way.
There’s so much more to say about Lauren. But here are my top three highlights:
1. Truly caring: Lauren is a caring person who digs deep and wants to know what makes your love special. On top of that, Lauren truly cares about every single person they work with. It’s very clear. They made us feel like family.
2. Professional but human: Lauren isn’t just an “officiant” that word simply isn’t enough. Lauren is the embodiment of a Love Celebrant! With Lauren all basis are covered. They are professional but also HUMAN. I’ve never once heard of an “officiant” getting to know their couples so well. Lauren goes above and beyond. Lauren quickly felt like a safe space for both of us.
3. A talent with words: Lauren said things that dug deep, touched our hearts and all of our guests. Lauren truly gets to know you so well that the words feel like a lifelong friend is speaking about you. How amazing is that on your wedding day?! It didn’t feel like a copy and paste but it was tailored to exactly who we are and our story.
Bonus: Lauren has a great sense of humor and is so helpful! Lauren won’t make you feel like your wedding day isn’t your day. Lauren is accommodating, helpful and is all about the non-traditional weddings which was a huge reason we wanted to work with them. Lauren never once shamed us for our ideas and instead embraced them and made sure we had a perfect day!
I highly suggest working with Lauren for your wedding. You won’t regret it! It’s the best decision you can make for a day that is so important.

Cannot recommend Lauren enough!!!!
From the moment that my now wife and I reached out to Lauren, we knew they were our officiant. And that decision was only solidified the more we met with Lauren.
Lauren took the time to get know us individually and as a couple. This proved to be one of the highlights of our wedding planning as it continued to keep us grounded in the moments that mattered most and were somehow the most stressful.
I unfortunately lost my Mother about 6 weeks before our wedding date. We reached out to Lauren to add something to our already finished ceremony that could honor my late Mom. It was zero surprise that Lauren was absolutely there to meet with us to go over what we wanted changed. Lauren even suggested some very meaningful things that we couldn’t think of ourselves. This made the ceremony even more meaningful as it felt like everything we had asked for was met and more.
If you are looking for someone that can create a unique and deeply connected ceremony for you and your partner, you’ve found the right person. Lauren will absolutely make sure that your ceremony is grounded in who you and your partner are and who you are together. -

Lauren was fantastic!
Lauren was fantastic! We wanted a small wedding with just immediate family, and we were hoping for an officiant who could make the ceremony feel very light and joyful but also meaningful. Luckily, Lauren was recommended to us, and we couldn’t have been happier with them! The multi-step process they created really enabled us all to get to know each other. Even though my now-husband and I are relatively private and introverted people, Lauren was able to immediately put us at ease as if we were talking to an old friend. After meeting with us several times and learning about our relationship, Lauren was able to write a ceremony that was tailored perfectly for us. Thank you, Lauren, for all the wonderful memories! -

Five thumbs up!
We both knew we wanted Lauren to be part of our wedding from the moment of our first meeting. You can probably tell from her photos that Lauren is fun and energetic, and she is—her enthusiasm is infectious! But she is also very well organized. And she is a warm and empathetic human. She guided us through the process of crafting our own unique wedding ceremony, listening to us while encouraging both of us to listen to each other. We’re so grateful that Lauren helped make our day memorable not only for us, but for all of our loved ones in our community who celebrated with us. We can’t recommend her highly enough—thank you, Lauren!

The Best Decision We Made for Our Wedding
When we started planning our wedding, we had no idea just how important choosing the right officiant would be. We were caught up in the logistics. Since we were planning an elopement-style ceremony at San Francisco City Hall from our home in Texas, every vendor we worked with played a crucial role in making the day feel special and personal. We had plenty of nerves going into it, but from the moment we found Lauren, their enthusiasm, curiosity, and warmth made us feel like we could do anything. Needless to say, we jumped on board for the full Lauren Snead experience!
They were there for us in every way imaginable—guiding us not just through the logistics, but through a deeper journey of reflection that prepared us for the big day in ways we didn't know we needed. Their thoughtful questions challenged us in the best way, helping us articulate what marriage meant to us, what we wanted our ceremony to feel like, and how to be truly present in the moment.
Even in the final days before our wedding—when we were making last-minute tweaks from a plane—Lauren assured us that everything would be exactly as we envisioned. And it was. We will never forget walking into City Hall and hearing Lauren call out our names from the 4th-floor balcony, arms wide open, radiating joy. That moment set the tone for everything that followed.
Lauren spontaneously lent the groom their lucky green bowtie—and it magically completed the look! They grounded us all before the ceremony, acknowledging the space and its significance. They thought of everything. Arranging the chairs in a tight semicircle so we could all hear each other. Facilitating a tree-planting ceremony. Leading group vows that made everyone feel part of something bigger. Balancing humor with raw, earnest emotion—crying right along with us in the tender moments and bringing the perfect dose of lightness when we needed it.
Our guests were stunned to learn that we had only just met Lauren in person that day. Their presence felt like that of a lifelong friend. So if you're searching for an officiant, stop now and book Lauren. They will make your wedding unforgettable in the best possible way. ~Erin and Sara -

Memorable and intimate elopement
Lauren worked with my wife, Kara, and I for about a year before our elopement in CA. Lauren’s presence feels like a couples therapist mixed with an officiant and a spiritual guide. She is funny, kind, and super prepared to help couples get ready for their ceremony. Kara and I loved working with her in the lead up to the day, and loved meeting her in person even more. The words she prepared were beautiful & she made us laugh and cry. We highly recommend her! -

lauren is the best!!
We got sooo many compliments on our ceremony, and it is all thanks to Lauren! From our first meeting with them, we knew we trusted them with creating our perfect ceremony. They spent a lot of time getting to know us and our story. We had no idea where to start when it came to planning a ceremony. They have a ton of experience and ideas and helped us decide on what parts of the ceremony were important for us. They also checked on us throughout the process and helped calm our nerves when we needed it.
On the day of our wedding Lauren was amazing! They knew how to captivate a crowd. They are charismatic, engaging, and they created exactly the mood that i wanted which was sentimental and emotional. By the end, everyone was crying.
Lauren was a dream to work with, and I am so happy she was part of our special day. Highly recommend them as your wedding officiant!! -

Most Magical Day Ever
Lauren was an absolutely incredible officiant for our wedding. They made our ceremony feel so intimate and deeply personal—it was as if they had known us for years. Their warmth and genuine presence made us feel like they've been part of the family, and their attention to detail shone through in every aspect of the ceremony.
My wife and I were moved to tears throughout the event because of how beautifully Lauren touched our hearts. Their words, delivery, and overall approach created a truly unforgettable experience for us and our guests.
Communication with Lauren was seamless from start to finish. They were always easy to reach, incredibly responsive, and flexible when it came to scheduling Zoom meetings to ensure everything was perfect leading up to the big day.
We can’t recommend Lauren enough to anyone looking for an officiant who brings authenticity, professionalism, and heartfelt care to their work. They truly made our day magical! -

The Best of the Best
My husband and I couldn't be happier with our decision to have Lauren as our officiant. From the first moment we met with her, we knew that she would truly bring such a magical and loving energy into our wedding day. We always envisioned our ceremony as the most important part of our special day, and with Lauren's partnership, guidance, love and support, it was beyond perfect! My husband and I learned so much about each other through the planning process, and knowing we had someone we could authentically check-in with and intentionally listen to our concerns was nothing short of amazing. She made sure that we felt supported in writing our vows, practicing our gratitude, and felt ultimately supported going into this lifetime commitment. Lauren's hand-crafted, non-cookie cutter ceremony was genuine, warm and showcased all the love and emotion that represents our relationship. We are especially thankful for all of the laughs!! I can't recommend Lauren enough, and our marriage journey together is even more special with Lauren being a part of it! -

Lauren = BEST
Having Lauren as our officiant was one of the best things we ever did for our wedding. Before the ceremony itself, we had talked with them via virtual meetings so that we could all get to know each other. By the time we had officially met face to face on our wedding day, it felt like meeting a friend we hadn't seen in years. They emit a warm, fun, and welcoming vibe that makes you feel safe and seen while you chat with them. Lauren is the voice of reason and helps you feel validated with your feelings. The way they ran the ceremony was very professional and smooth, transitioning from one section to the next effortlessly. We loved how we were also able to make changes to the ceremony draft. It gave us peace of mind knowing that we could remove or reduce parts that we weren't comfortable with sharing with our guests, and adding segments that we really wanted to implement. After the ceremony, numerous guests told us how much they were impressed with Lauren. They loved how Lauren told everyone our love story, how clearly they spoke, and how it felt like our officiant was a good friend that we had known for a long time. At the end of the night, the other vendors came up to us and praised Lauren, saying how amazing it was to work with them. The DJ even told us, "They were easily the best officiant I have ever worked with." My wife and I are so proud to say that we chose Lauren as our officiant. If we had to do our ceremony over and over again, we would choose Lauren every time. If anyone reading this is unsure about booking with them, we highly suggest you do. They even mailed in our marriage certificate for us right after the ceremony! Talk about going above and beyond! Lauren, thank you for everything that you've done for us. We had an amazing experience with you and have absolutely no regrets. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

Rockstar Officiant!
Lauren Snead was the perfect choice to officiate our wedding. Our wedding involved a blended family with many complexities, and Lauren handled every aspect with grace and expertise. She took our input seriously and crafted a ceremony that was truly reflective of our unique family dynamics. Lauren’s guidance helped us stay calm and focused, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in every moment during the ceremony and even the many moments leading up to it.
The ceremony Lauren co-created with us was nothing short of magical, blending humor, tears, hugs, and heartfelt truth in a way that resonated deeply with all our guests—many of whom remarked that it was the best wedding they had ever attended.
She brought such warmth, engagement, and a reassuring confidence that permeated our ceremony. She masterfully adapted to every situation, ensuring that even unexpected moments flowed seamlessly. Lauren's presence was a calming force, allowing us and all in attendance to enjoy each part of the ceremony without concern. Her genuine demeanor and heartfelt delivery resonated deeply with our guests, creating an atmosphere of inclusivity and emotional connection that made the ceremony exceptionally memorable.
Lauren is an investment worth every penny, and we are forever grateful for the unforgettable experience she facilitated for us and our children. It was a day of pure magic, thanks to her skillful and thoughtful officiating. -

Overwhelmingly happy with Lauren's partnership!
My husband and I decided to work with Lauren after we witnessed her great work as an officiant for a friend's wedding. After our initial call to determine if there was a fit, we knew immediately we wanted to work with her. She treats the entire process holistically and professionally. She wanted to really understand us, what drove our relationship, and how we felt about each other as a couple. This level of depth allowed her to support us in our year+ journey throughout the engagement! She also coached us on how to think about our ceremony and our vows, but always allowing us space to be authentic and vulnerable.
During the actual ceremony, she captivated the crowd and there was not a dry eye in sight! She truly made our ceremony and journey special, and we felt like we've gained a true friend throughout the process. I could not recommend her more! -

The Best!!
We loved Lauren. We initially wanted something super fast and straightforward and they helped us see the value in going slow and putting a lot of thought into our ceremony so we could focus on our love and our time together and what we wanted our future to look like. Found her here completely by chance and we feel so lucky!! Perfect for our elopement in every way. Pricy, but worth it for the time and effort she puts into it. -

Lauren is awesome!
I saw Lauren the smile is what drew me in and I knew I HAD to contact her. I wanted my wedding filled witb live and laughter and I knew from looking at all the photos of other couples, we'd get that with Lauren. When I showed my partner they agreed whole heartedly. And guess what? Lauren was absolutely amazing! My partner and I loved the process she had us go through. Though we have been together for many years already, discussing our relationship with Lauren really made us love each other even more! Definitely the best vibes and a wonderful person that helped and made us more excited to get married!-

Simply the Best!
Lauren is the absolute best. She officiated our wedding, and it was an even better ceremony than we could have hoped for. Lauren took so much time to get to know us and understand our relationship. And she crafted the most beautiful, custom ceremony. My husband and I are not religious, but we have plenty of loved ones who are. She struck the perfect balance so that everyone at our wedding felt invested in our love and our marriage. Lauren also took the time to learn about Mexican wedding traditions so that I could incorporate pieces of my heritage into our ceremony. My husband also gets extreme anxiety before public speaking, and Lauren was so helpful for him. She gave him tools to ease his nerves and regularly checked in with him to see if he was making progress! Lauren made my husband and I feel so understood, loved, and celebrated. She is truly the sweetest person we have ever met. And our guests absolutely adored her. Some of the comments we got: “She is like an angel!” “Best ceremony I’ve ever been to.” “I thought she was a close friend of yours, she knew you both so well.” If you are on the fence, you should absolutely hire Lauren. This is one of the biggest days of your life, and Lauren will make sure you get your perfect ceremony! -

The best decision you'll make for your wedding!
Lauren is a very special person. I found her while searching for someone who could not only officiate my wedding but to help guide the ceremony with love and grace. We could not have chosen a more kind, loving, supportive and passionate person to perform our wedding. I knew she was the person for us when I confided in her my many stressors and worries when it came to my wedding. She was open and helped me navigate my feelings so well. I had no idea how to say what I wanted to my husband and Lauren broke it down so beautifully and there was not a dry eye at the ceremony. Her process in getting to know me and my partner felt so personal and very comfortable. She was unbelievably flexible with our busy and crazy schedules as a neurodivergent family.
One of the most special moments, among so many, was when I walked down the aisle and stood in front of my partner. I was so excited and yet so nervous. Lauren helped us relax when she asked if we wanted to hug each other. She knew that this would help us both connect. I could not be more grateful for everything she has done for our family. During the ceremony, we wanted to include our son as much as possible because it was not only a marriage of two people but a merging of a blended family. My partner said vows to our son and presented him with his adoption certificate. Lauren made sure he felt seen and comfortable whenever he needed a moment because he is also Autistic. I know she’s done this so many times, but it truly felt like we were her only clients. Choosing Lauren is like choosing a member of the family. We will never forget everything she did for us. -

One of the best & easiests decisions for our wedding!
Having Lauren officiate our wedding was the easiest and quickest decision we made for our wedding! During our very first meeting, we felt instantly connected with Lauren. She is incredibly warm and is genuinely interested in getting to know you and your relationship. As we went through our wedding planning journey, Lauren not only provided resources for the vows and ceremony, but she also gave us tools to get us through wedding planning stresses. She was always reachable and communicative if we had questions, and her knowledge and experience is impressive. Lauren will make sure you have the personalized ceremony that is right for you. For us, we wanted a mix of humor, thoughtfulness, and inclusiveness...Lauren delivered on all counts. We got rave reviews from our guests, and because her script was so spot-on about us, most people thought she was a long-time friend of ours! We can't thank Lauren enough for helping make our special day exactly how we envisioned! -

We found Lauren through our wedding coordinator Lindsey from Simply Lovely Events. From our first Zoom meeting with her we loved the energy she brought and her bubbly personality. Lauren is AMAZING! Picking her to be our officiant was thee Best. Decision. EVER! All of our family and friends raved about our ceremony. It was personal, got our guests involved, moments to laugh, moments of goosebumps, and moments of love. Everyone was shocked that we had just met Lauren 3 months leading up to the big day. She met with us and really got to know us to curate an amazing and personalize ceremony. The questions she asks are deep and thought provoking. All very important things to do when making such a big life decision and she we be with you every step of the way! She was a huge support for me leading up to the big day when I really needed it. ❤️ Lauren is a gem and if you are considering booking her, you should! -

The absolute best!
We could not be happier to have found Lauren to officiate our ceremony! The entire process was so special, brought us together as a couple, all while Lauren was taking the time to get to genuinely know us as a couple. She kept us calm and present throughout our wedding day, and we still get comments (months later) from guests that our ceremony was incredible. Because she takes such care and time to get to know her couples, each ceremony is original and tailored specifically to the couple, which was so important to us. I couldn’t imagine our day without Lauren having been there to officiate! -

Game changer!
Everyone was BUZZING after the ceremony talking about how different it was than most ceremonies, and the reason? LAUREN!
First of all, she took a lot of time to know us and our story. Those sessions gave us an opportunity to dive deeper into our relationship and I found out things I didn’t know about my partner that brought us even closer. She made herself available for us to talk and always reassured us when we were overwhelmed with wedding planning. Then came the final day. The ceremony is where people tend to get distracted, and not as focused as it can get a little boring and long. Lauren however had all the guests laughing and completely attentive through the whole time. People even said they wanted to get remarried just to have Lauren do the ceremony! She made the ceremony personal and magical, just the way we wanted it. She was one of the highlights of our wedding! -

A Personalized and Unforgettable Wedding Ceremony!
Choosing the right wedding officiant was one of the most critical decisions in planning our big day. We were fortunate to have found Lauren, and we can confidently say that our wedding ceremony was nothing short of magical, thanks to her exceptional services.
From our very first meeting, Lauren impressed us with her warmth and attention to detail. Lauren took the time to get to know us as a couple, our love story, and our vision for the ceremony.
Ahead of our big day, one aspect that we will forever cherish was the 'welcome circle' during the wedding rehearsal that brought friends and family together and grounded everyone to be present about the love-filled and celebratory weekend.
On the day of the wedding, Lauren radiated positivity alongside her calm and reassuring demeanor, which put our nerves at ease. Lauren conducted the ceremony with grace and our guests commented about how special it was.
Lauren exceeded our expectations in every way, and we will forever be grateful for the incredible ceremony she delivered. We highly recommend Lauren's services to any couple seeking a memorable and personalized ceremony. Thank you, Lauren, for being a part of our big day! -

LAUREN Will Make your dreams come true! Our wedding was a fairytale!!!
There are no words to express how deeply touched my husband and I are by Lauren and what she has brought to us individually and as a couple. She is inspiring, genuine, heartfelt and overall THE BEST at what she does. She made our wedding so incredibly special. From the moment we met her we knew we wanted her to officiate our wedding. She allowed us to really dig deep and learn about ourselves. To go out of our comfort zone and to be a resource for anything we needed. She was very approachable and made herself always available to reach out to. She also would always check in and reach out to us as well. We love her personality!
Lauren made the experience unforgettable. After our ceremony several of our guests raved about Lauren and said it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to because of the special touches she brought to our ceremony. Thank you Lauren from the bottom of our hearts for everything! We will miss our zoom check ins, but we know that you will continue to inspire others to make their wedding dreams come true! Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without you! We want the world to know that you should most definitely pick Lauren as your officiant! We love you Lauren!

We love Lauren!!
Working with Lauren was the best decision we made for our wedding. The ceremony is the heart of a wedding, and Lauren is a true master of ceremonies. Lauren has so much wedding expertise, not only in the logistics of it all, but also in the emotions that can come up in planning and having a wedding.
My partner and I are both queer and trans, so a lot of aspects of the traditional wedding ceremony didn’t resonate with us. Lauren helped us to conceptualize what we wanted in our ceremony, how we wanted to feel, how we wanted our guests to feel, and so much more. Her process not only helped us create a ceremony that felt meaningful and unique, but also helped us grow stronger as a couple. Lauren asked all the right questions to get us thinking about what was important for our wedding, what getting married meant to us, and our expectations around marriage.
In the end, our ceremony felt so perfect and special. Our guests were so moved and thought Lauren must have been someone we had known for years! If you’re getting married soon, I can’t recommend Lauren enough. -

Love, love, love Lauren!
I cannot speak highly enough of Lauren who officiated our wedding in August 2022. From the moment we first spoke with her, we knew that she was the perfect person to officiate our wedding ceremony (and we let her know within 10 minutes of hanging up the phone!) She was incredibly warm, kind, and bubbly, and made us feel completely at ease.
One of the things that stood out to us about Lauren was her commitment to getting to know us as a couple. She asked us to fill out a detailed questionnaire about our relationship and what marriage meant to us, which she used to craft a beautiful and personalized ceremony that perfectly captured our love story.
During the ceremony itself, Lauren was a calming and reassuring presence, guiding us through each step with grace and poise. Her delivery was flawless, and her words brought tears to our eyes and smiles to our faces. Several of our guests told us afterward how much they liked her.
What really set Lauren apart from other wedding officiants was her willingness to go above and beyond for us. She gave us her phone number and encouraged us to text her about anything at all, whether it was wedding-related or not. She truly cared about us as people, not just as clients.
Even after the wedding was over, Lauren has continued to keep in touch with us, checking in to see how we are doing.
In short, I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for an officiant who is not only skilled at what she does, but who is also warm, caring, and committed to creating a ceremony that truly reflects who you are as a couple. She made our wedding day unforgettable, and we are so grateful to have her in our lives. -

We love Lauren!
Lauren officiated our wedding this past July and was such a special part of the day and the preparation leading up to it. She worked with us to craft the perfect ceremony. It was better than we could’ve ever expected and all our guests remarked about how wonderful she was! Throughout the discovery and planning process she was always patient and receptive to any of our thoughts or ideas. She assuaged any of our concerns or worries and coached us through the vow-writing process as well. We don’t plan on getting married again, but if we did we would choose Lauren all over again! -

Do not hesitate to hire Lauren!!
The minute we met Lauren we knew we wanted her to be part of our wedding day. She is an amazing human who emanates light and love. Working with her leading up to our wedding was so much fun. Lauren offers amazing guidance and support on creating a ceremony that is personal and heartfelt.
I cannot count the number of our guests who said that our wedding ceremony was the best that they had ever attended and that Lauren was so amazing. Just the other day my mother in law was still raving and it’s been almost two months since our wedding!
With all of the details that need to be arranged and vendors that need to be hired when planning your wedding, it’s easy to forget that the whole point of your wedding day is the ceremony itself. So while it may be a bit painful to invest money into that aspect of your wedding day, hiring Lauren was 100% worth it!! If we had it to do all over again, Lauren would be at the top of our vendor list.
Lauren, thank you so much for giving us a wedding ceremony we will never forget. We love you!-

Lauren was our DREAM officiant and more!
My partner and I instantly felt the connection we were looking for with Lauren within minutes of our first zoom consultation call. Lauren is a warm, heart centered, courageously vulnerable and magically creative officiant. She puts her soul and full self into all she does. She felt more like a queer fairy godparent guiding our wedding path than a officiant- officiant , just doesn’t capture it. Lauren played so many roles for my partner and I who were eloping in Montgomery Woods in October. From the beginning Lauren soothed our anxieties, helped us dream and work from a mindset of abundance rather than sacristy when it came to our special day. I hadn’t even realized how much I was holding back on vision and embracing the potential for our wedding ceremony until Lauren walked us through her unique couples discovery questionnaire. It helped us imagine the colors, the setting, the content of our vows, and much more. Laurens ability to hold space for authenticity to emerge is something very special. Eloping so that we could have a more private and personal ceremony shielded from hard family dynamics, Lauren made the process warm, silly, genuine, and helped us really celebrate. Lauren holds space so gently and with care. She helped us form and carry out our vision of a fairy tale Trans Queer Jewish chuppah-built-from-red-woods dream wedding! Lauren even supported us putting up the chuppah, toting her hatchet and ladder along on the day. Ask her for pics ;) Jack of ALL trades !
Lauren is someone we now consider a dear friend and an integral part of a very special day. If you’re looking for someone to hold your queer love dear and create the wedding ceremony of your dreams, run, don’t walk straight into Lauren’s trusted officiant services. Thank you so much Lauren -

Say YES to Lauren! More than officiant!
We ‘interviewed’ several wedding officiants as we were looking for someone we would vibe with that felt more like family or a close friend vs. someone that we hire just to marry us and sign our paperwork. We weren’t feeling seen by most officiants, but the moment we met with Lauren, we were INSTANTLY sold. Lauren had the vibe we were seeking; a magnetic, warm, welcoming, kind and present person. You could feel Lauren’s love and attention fully showing up for you.
You feel their compassion as well as excitement to hear about you and learn about your love story. My (now) wife and I were smiling so hard the whole time we spoke and when we hung up, it took us 30 seconds to decide - “YES” to Lauren.
It was important to us to have someone officiate our love story with a depth and understanding of the LGBTQ+ community as a same sex couple. Lauren truly invested in our journey to marriage - not just to officiate, but to help us reflect and understand the reason why we chose to marry each other in the first place. My wife and I went through some very challenging times leading up to the wedding that put a strain on our happy moments, but Lauren was there to catch us, coach us, lift us up and navigate those difficult moments. We laughed, cried and shared so much in the year leading up to our big day. Lauren brought us together in ways no one else could and we partnered on and curated the most beautiful wedding ceremony together. Lauren guided us on our vows and gave us great insights and direction whenever we needed it. Lauren’s rehearsal was so special and meaningful - something we won’t forget and the wedding ceremony was so well delivered that our wedding guests went up to them afterwards to compliment them and had assumed we’ve been friends for years! Lauren was exactly what we wanted and now, more than ever, is like family and part of our growing community. We love Lauren and know you will too, no matter how you identify and who you love - Lauren’s your person!-

Lauren is the BEST!
Choosing Lauren as the officiant for our October 2022 wedding was the best decision! I can not recommend her highly enough. We were tempted to go with our wedding planner as officiant to keep it simple, but I kept coming back to Lauren. We set up a Zoom to see if we'd be a good fit and our 11-year-old daughter joined as well. After wonderful conversation with much laughter we got off the call, looked at each other, and all three of us said, "Yes! Lauren has to be the officiant! We love her!"
Lauren's process is thorough, interesting, and fun. It gave us an opportunity to get to know each other better as a couple and made for a wonderfully personal and individual ceremony. Lauren worked with us every step of the way, even giving me edits and tips on my wedding vows. Before and during the ceremony she was a supportive, calming, and joyful presence. And she hit the ceremony out of the park! Everyone raved and raved about it and her!
As my sister put it, Lauren is a joy-bomb. Her light, warmth, and joyousness are infectious. I can not recommend her highly enough! We feel so grateful that she was a part of our special day and brought to much to it. Thank you, Lauren!! -

Lauren is the best!
My husband and I decided the officiant was something we really valued, and we knew Lauren was the one after our first meeting. Her positive, encouraging, supportive, and caring energy surrounded us throughout our whole planning process and into our special day. She took us on a journey through ourselves and our relationship to craft the most beautiful ceremony that captured our personalities perfectly. Our guests were amazed and inspired by how perfect our ceremony was. We can't imagine our planning process or wedding without this incredible human! We are so grateful to Lauren. -

Absolute dream!!
Lauren was an absolute dream! We came a video of one of her other weddings and she spoke to us, we had to have her! She really took the time to get to know us and in the process we got to know each other even better! We wanted to make sure we didn't have a mad-libs style ceremony and man did she deliver! My guests and my vendors were all RAVING about her! Everyone felt like they knew us so much better after the ceremony and she knows how to engage a crowd! Her whole vibe is intoxicating and we are beyond grateful she shared this experience with her! -

Stellar Officiant!
Where do we even start with how amazing Lauren is? She not only got to know us inside and out as individuals and as a couple, but she also led us through a couple of exercises to make sure we were solid as a couple. Lauren also served as a great sounding board and coach/ cheerleader throughout the wedding planning process, and even helped talk me through my name change dilemma which for me was complex and wrapped up partially in my Asian American identity. She really empathized with all that I was going through and served as a wonderful neutral sounding board for my emotions around the name change topic.
And then came the ceremony. Lauren was outstanding! She crafted a personalized ceremony that fit us as a couple and involved us in the writing process from the beginning. Plus, she helped us incorporate a couple of unique and fun aspects of the wedding including a ring warming and a new tradition for us as a couple. She absolutely struck the right balance of levity and seriousness that the moment called for. In fact, her work was so memorable that our family members and guests brought up our ceremony in the weeks that followed our wedding and had nothing but praise for her. Even one of our friends admitted that he was taking mental notes during our ceremony for the wedding he would be officiating a few weeks after ours! All of this and then she was also beyond amazing sticking with us through the pandemic and multiple reschedulings over 2.5 years.
Thank you Lauren for creating a ceremony that both us and our guests loved, but also for your constant encouragement, empathy, joy, and love you showed us throughout the process. -

Outstanding Officiant
I cannot recommend Lauren high enough. Lauren was a rock during our wedding planning process, through thick and thin and all the changes that came with covid. She got to know us, customized our ceremony to suit us perfectly, and was an absolute delight to boot. We streamed our wedding online, and not only did every person present praise Lauren, they were a bit hit online too.
Worth every penny, queer friendly, and a pleasure to get to know and guide us on our wedding day. Ten stars! -

Thank you Lauren! You made everything perfect!
We hired Lauren to be our wedding officiant for our June wedding and it was one of the best decisions ever! One of the reasons I reached out to her was because I wanted my wedding ceremony to fill with laughters and fun instead of the old-school bible reading format. Lauren did not let us down! She used a questionnaire she created to create a very fun and engaging ceremony with minimal input from us. The questionnaire actually helped us to learn about each other and it was truly a learning process when Lauren shared our answers with us. We had a few online meetings to talk about what we like to include in the ceremony and we shared some fun stories of our lives. She engaged our stories so well that my family asked me if she is our long time friend. Lauren also understands how stressful planning a wedding is. She made sure she's always there for us and gave us mental support/helpful wedding tips whenever we were about to lose our mind lol. During the ceremony, we had a little sound system problem that our microphone was on and off randomly. Lauren immediately decided that we would go without the mic that guaranteed everything went smoothly and within the timeline. After the ceremony, so many family and friends reached out to us and complimented how professional Lauren was. If you would like your ceremony to be fun ,loving, positive and engaging, without too much effort required from you, you should hire Lauren and everything will be fantastic!

Cannot praise Lauren enough!
Simply said, Lauren has a gift! I first saw Lauren in action at a friend’s wedding. I was in awe of the whole experience, because it is an experience. It was like nothing I had ever seen. Bringing two people, telling us their journey of love in such a beautiful way. It was amazing, like Lauren. I had no partner at the time nor plans to be married anytime soon but I knew that I wanted Lauren to officiate and work her magic on my special day. I was excited to take her card and keep it until my day came. A couple years later, I found my soulmate and when we started planning our wedding, she was one of the first vendors I reached out to. Lauren was so inviting, she embodies the energy of life and love. She talked us through the whole process. She got to know us not just as a coupon but as people and she gave us homework but it was worth it to really discover and know what my partner thought and felt about me and our future life together. She gave us a preview of what the ceremony would look like. It was everything we wanted. My partner and I were to wed in 2020 but because of the pandemic that didn’t happen. Lauren was always checking in on us and making sure we were okay. A do dir any updates. We really appreciate her for that as our venue kept rescheduling our wedding date and Lauren was always trying her best to be able to accommodate the new date. We were finally able to get marred this year, in 2022, and we are both extremely happy and honored that Lauren officiated it. Go with Lauren, I believe she is some kind of Cupid. Everyone at our wedding said that they hadn’t witnessed something like it and thought it was beautiful. Thank you Lauren for all you did for us and all you do for everyone on the their journey of love! -

Life-Changing!!
I'm so glad we ended up meeting Lauren. When we started looking for a wedding officiant, we were hoping for someone to stand up at the front and speak well. We did not expect to find someone who would actually strengthen our marriage! We came into this process with no real idea of what we wanted. Lauren brought a lot of great ideas to the table, and really got to know us. At the end of our wedding day, we had a ceremony that felt JUST right. It was truly a wonderful day, and I credit Lauren for holding the space and helping the love of all our friends and family truly shine through. Side note, at least six of our guests asked me "Oh my gosh where did you find your officiant?! Can we be best friends with her??" -

Best Vendor of the Wedding
Lauren was hands-down our favorite vendor. We were hoping to find someone who would take some time to get to know us and our love story so that when they spoke in front of our dearest friends and family, it would click for everyone. Not only did Lauren take the time and energy to get to know us as a couple, but she also got to know us each individually and I like to think of her as a friend. Throughout the whole wedding planning process (ours included THREE wedding postponements) Lauren was kind, optimistic, and understanding. She was thoughtful in her process and gave my husband and I the opportunity to get to know each OTHER better and talk about our relationship! We had friends and family come up to us after our ceremony raving about Lauren and asking if she had known us for a long time! She perfectly captured our personal, thoughtful, and fun wedding ceremony. Not to mention that seeing such a friendly, excited, and calm face on the day of was crucial to harness the butterflies.
Lauren is truly the best mix of professional and friend, and I'm already trying to figure out how to hire her in 50 years for a vowel renewal :) -

Best. Officiant. EVER!
Lauren is absolutely incredible. She is so kind and caring, and she crafted a beautiful wedding ceremony that our guests will never forget. She was so easy to work with and always had a smile. I have never seen any other wedding officiant who is half as good as Lauren at what she does. Our wedding guests kept telling us how much they loved our unique ceremony, and it’s all thanks to Lauren! -

A Wedding Officiated by Lauren: Priceless
If we could give 100 stars we would. Lauren was our wedding officiant in August 2021 but she was so much more...she was a friend, confidant, therapist, life coach and the list goes on. If you want your wedding to feel generic, go with someone else. If you want to feel like the most important couple in the world, with someone who actually takes the time to get to know you, your relationship and your family, then hire Lauren. Absolutely priceless -

Dream come true
Lauren was truly amazing! I had a vision in mind for the ceremony and Lauren brought it to fruition. Every person who attended our ceremony told us that our wedding was the most fun, genuine, and heartfelt ceremony that that they had EVER been too. I told Lauren that I wanted everyone who attended to laugh and cry during our ceremony and that is exactly happened. She introduced some unique wedding traditions that we were unaware of and made us feel comfortable throughout the process. We had to postpone our wedding in 2020 due to covid and she was so accommodating and helpful in a time of uncertainty, stress, and anxiety. HIRE HER! -

The Dream Officiant
I can't believe HOW LUCKY we were to have Lauren leading up to our COVID postponed wedding. My husband and I had a lot of anxiety surround our wedding, especially with the Delta variant. Lauren was always available to lend a listening ear and really help us work through our anxiety to determine what we were really worried about. She was amazing with leading the agenda and positive energy during our rehearsal and day of it was everything and more than what we could have hoped for. As with any wedding we had family dynamic issues and Lauren was always available and checking in. Even 2 days after our wedding she was available to talk through a family conflict. Lauren made this day that we had postponed a year and had in the making for 16 YEARS so special. She was able to really bring the essence of our relationship out so that others can truly understand us! -

Lauren helped us write an AMAZING ceremony for our first-time officiant family member!
My partner and I hired Lauren to help us write our wedding ceremony, which a family member was going to officiate, and we LOVED working with her! We very highly recommend her services, A++++++!
We originally reached out to Lauren because we wanted to find someone who would help us put together a personal, secular ceremony and who would also be willing to work with our officiant on tips and tricks, since she hadn't officiated a wedding previously. We were also working under some time pressure since we had a very short engagement. Finally, we wanted to work with someone who was queer-friendly and inclusive.
Lauren was PHENOMENAL to work with. She put together a "ceremony writing consultant" package that was tailored to our needs, met with us over zoom and via phone several times over a three-week period, and even scheduled a one-on-one phone call with our family member officiant. She also provided some materials to help us in our writing and did two rounds of editing of our ceremony and vows as we finalized the text. Our ceremony ultimately reflected the way we were approaching marriage while allowing for a light and fun family vibe.
Lauren was also just a really kind person who we got a huge kick out of working with. She texted us on our wedding day to say congrats, which was so lovely, and is incredibly enthusiastic and fired up about her job! She's a total charmer who really took the time to get to know what we were are aiming for and helped us get there.
Can't recommend Lauren highly enough - she was great and our family is still talking about how beautiful our ceremony was! Thanks, Lauren!! -

Lauren goes above and beyond
Lauren was originally hired for our 2020 wedding that turned into our 2020 elopement and 2021 reception. She was so great throughout what was for us a really difficult process. Her commitment to giving you a truly special and personal ceremony is unparalleled. People thought she was a close friend who we had ordained because she so sincerely reflected who we are and why we loved each other. She is a treasure. -

The most amazing wedding experience, catered by Lauren!
Words cannot describe the love, support, and personality Lauren brought to our wedding ceremony! From the beginning, Lauren worked with us to understand what was important to us and what we truly wanted out of our ceremony. She listened carefully and brought her expertise in building a ceremony that was tailored for us. She was kind, caring, and flexible which was truly appreciated as we attempted to plan a wedding during a global pandemic! Our wedding guests adored her and still comment about the amazing energy she brought to our wedding ceremony. We absolutely loved working with Lauren and would highly recommend her! -

Absolutely amazing!!
Lauren is so amazing, words can’t express how thankful we are that we found her. We really wanted our ceremony to be something special and meaningful. Since we aren’t religious, this felt a little more difficult. We met with a few officiants and weren’t overly impressed, and then we had our zoom meet and greet with Lauren. We knew right away that she was different and has such a fun energy. We really enjoyed spending time getting to know her and working together to create our ceremony and vows. I was nervous about writing my own vows but she was very supportive and in the end I’m so glad we worked with her. We had many guests comment on how wonderful our ceremony was and how awesome Lauren is. It was exactly what we were looking for. If she is available for your date, I would absolutely recommend her. We are so thankful she worked with us to create the perfect wedding ceremony! -

If you are considering having Lauren serve as your officiant, do not hesitate!
Lauren is absolutely amazing and I couldn’t even imagine our wedding day without her. Due to COVID we cancelled our original wedding and had to make a quick transition to a smaller, family-only ceremony in a completely different date/location/time than we had planned. We reached out to Lauren and after our first meeting we realized she is on a different level. Her energy just poured through the zoom meeting (not always easy to do!) and we knew instantly that she was the one for us. At a time where we had to worry about lots of fast cancellations, changes, and safety logistics, she made the ceremony preparation and meetings so enjoyable and took a huge weight off our shoulders.
One really special thing about Lauren’s process is that she does a pre-wedding process with each couple, challenging you to really dig into yourself, your partner, and what you both want from this special moment you will share together. She then crafts a completely personal ceremony from this process. She was able to take everything we wanted to include (a wine box ceremony, group blessing, handfasting) and tie them into a connected, beautiful and heartfelt ceremony. She also did a rehearsal and welcome circle with our families, which was honestly one of the most emotional and beautiful experiences of our wedding weekend.
Throughout our process, we had told Lauren that our main goal was to feel connected to each other and present throughout the day - she helped us do that and we can honestly say we felt so connected throughout the day, but especially the ceremony, which felt like we were the only people in the world. Our families loved everything and there were quite a few tears and laughs.
We could not have loved everything more. It is very rarely in life that you can say something was perfect - but we feel our wedding ceremony and day honestly was.
Thank you so much Lauren.

Pure Magic✨
If you're looking for an officient who:
- Is there to support you all along the planning journey
- Gracefully handles emotional roller coasters & changing plans
- Is a beam of light and truly joyful presence
- Asks the questions other people are afraid to ask
- Brings your entire wedding party together before your ceremony (not just physically but emotionally)
- Crafts a heart felt, honest, vulnerable ceremony out of your love story
- Helps the two of you get to know each other better & enter into marriage thoughtfully...
You can stop looking. ;)
Choosing Lauren to be the officient for our 2020 wedding was the best decision we made.
She went above and beyond to support us through 3 iterations of our wedding and we couldn't be happier with how it all ended up. We opted for a Yosemite wedding and the whole experience blew my mind.
From her ability to bring a sense of calm cohesion to a group of strong personalites to how fun and light she kept everything while still keeping the experience grounded in the real reason we were together - LOVE - she was amazing.
I am so grateful for Lauren and the love she shares with everyone she meets. If you want a wedding experience that will remind your guests what love is and make a mark on all of your hearts, Lauren is the officient for the job. -

Endless Gratitude!
Lauren is on her own level. We wanted a custom ceremony that spoke to who were we are as people and what we wanted our marriage to be. And she delivered. She guided us through a thorough and beautiful process to create such a ceremony. She is more than a day of officiant, we spent a few months getting to know each other, through calls, her discovery process and our wedding weekend. We did not do any pre-marital counseling but found our sessions with Lauren more than just planning, they truly set us up for defining our marriage and preparing ourselves for it at the same time. She helpful reassure us through all the uncertainty of pandemic wedding planning. Due to covid we were separate from friends and family during our elopement. She facilitated a beautiful zoom call the night before that helped us feel connected to our loved ones. We felt so seen and loved. She suggested they all light candles during our ceremony as an act of unity. We woke up the following days to tons and tons of photos of lit candles in our honor, it was SO SPECIAL. She hiked a mountain with us to get our ceremony spot and delivered a beautiful ceremony that left us both laughing and in tears. She balanced out the lightheartedness with depth and meaning. She told our story throughout the ceremony and we find that invaluable as we will look back on it for years to come. We left as friends having shared such an intimate experience together. We felt supported throughout the whole entire process. We are so grateful for who she is and what she does. THANK YOU LAUREN from the bottom of our hearts, you helped make our day one we'll never forget!!-

Lauren is Pure Love!
While Lauren is a masterful wedding officiant and storyteller, she is also an empathetic listener, a creative and dynamic ideator, an authentic creator, and the most amazing human! Her passion and love for what she does is clear in her careful, heart-filled, and artful work. We got to know each other over the course of 8 wonderful months where she helped us navigate and generate ideas around everything from unexpected challenges at work to navigating wedding planning during a once-in-a-lifetime and extended quarantine. In so many ways, without her, our wedding would not have been possible and it is the sweetest, warmest, most authentic memory of us and our next steps as a family, thanks to having Lauren at our side. She officiated our socially-distanced wedding (her second ever, at the time!) and seamlessly stepped into the role of emcee in order to ensure our guests on Zoom had a wonderful, fun-filled experience. I firmly believe there is nothing that she can't do - her intelligence, warmth, and humor make her an absolute treasure. She is real and loving - there is truly nobody else who could have stood with us as we became husband and wife. Here's to our first year of friendship with Lauren and to many more!-

Words Cannot Express...
First things first, it has taken my husband and I over a year to write this review... simply due to the fact that we were overwhelmed by the thought of using ONLY words to express just how amazing of a person and officiant Lauren is!
When we first met Lauren, her energy radiated positivity, openness and warmth. And this was felt just by talking to her via video chat! Lauren has a way of connecting with every single individual on a level where you feel safe, at ease and like you are at the center of her universe... I can only guess that this is what an interaction with Gandhi would resemble! :)
With all that is involved in planning a destination wedding in California, she took so much weight off of our shoulders by making the planning of the ceremony a breeze. John and I wanted to have a ceremony that represented us... two introverted, quirky, nerdy, sarcastic people that have been in a relationship for over 10 years. We also wanted to honor those that could not be at the ceremony for various reasons. Lauren was somehow able to wrap all of that into one ceremony. We truly felt like our relationship and the members of our support system were honored. Tailoring our ceremony in that way made for an unbelievably special and sacred moment.
The cherry on top is that weeks after the wedding, our family kept talking about Lauren! We reminded them that we waited ten years to get married and that we should be celebrated, but they insisted Lauren was the star! ;) I would say that a majority of our immediate family are now following her on social media because she left that great of an impression!
I told Lauren that the review would take some time to write because it would essentially be a love letter! Lauren, I hope that this was a decent love letter from John and I! We appreciate you so much and wish you and your beautiful family the best.
Just hire her! You won't regret it! -

Lauren, you are a gift!
It was an immediate connection with Lauren as we went through the process of meeting with three officiants on exploratory Zoom calls. She had a warm, caring and kind spirit and we both knew she was our officiant after the introductory conversation. Over the course of months, we worked with her to articulate our values and what is important to us big and small as we begin life as a married couple. I enjoyed every minute of her creative process, which I will not divulge too much of here so you can truly enjoy it for yourself organically. She had thoughtful and fun ideas to engage our families, celebrate our parents and honor traditions we were raised in. We even added a creative ritual that we will do every year on our anniversary - and she coached us individually through the writing of our vows. As the wedding started to look grim with event and travel bans due to COVID, she immediately reached out and hopped on a call with us to brainstorm. We pivoted to a small intimate and socially distanced ceremony at our original venue with a larger celebration rescheduled to the fall. We knew we wanted her to perform the official wedding, and we were so glad she did. She helped us rewrite portions of the ceremony to reflect these uncharted times and family on video who are currently unable to travel. She drove to our venue in the redwoods and was absolutely charming - engaging my family in person and my husbands family (and 93 year old Granny) on video. She made everyone feel welcome, infused humor and love into every minute and truly put her whole heart into the day. She is such a friend to us, and we are infinitely lucky to have been blessed by her professionalism, intelligence, creativity and passion for creating amazing wedding day experiences, full of intimacy and laughter. -

COVID Wedding - An Incredible Experience
When COVID-19 impacted our destination wedding, my now wife and I had to start from scratch and scramble to plan a new wedding in Sonoma County after deciding to keep our original date. It was the best decision we ever made. We streamed the event on Zoom, allowing our family and friends to tune in.
When looking for a wedding officiant we came across Lauren Snead’s profile and could instantly feel a connection with her energy and approach to the wedding process. On our first call with her, we knew we had made the right decision. Lauren was so understanding of our situation and was willing to adjust her typical process to accommodate our shortened timeline. We can’t express how much we got out of working with her. Through all of our discussions, Lauren crafted a ceremony that was so intimate and spoke to our relationship and future together. Her ability to take all of the information we had provided through engaging conversations and distill it into such a beautiful ceremony impressed everyone.
Lauren was so attentive to the physical distancing guidelines and made sure that everyone was safe. We would recommend Lauren to any couple in a heartbeat.
We can’t wait to be able to see her in the future and give her a big hug.
Thank you again, Lauren!!!! -

Working with Lauren is pure magic!
My husband and I got married in September and we’ve taken over a month to write this review because we don’t know how to accurately describe how amazing Lauren is. She is nothing but exceptional and we truly believe she is one of the key reasons why our wedding was so special and meaningful.
Lauren took the time to truly get to know us and bond with us. She created a safe space for my husband and I to explore and strengthen our relationship through her discovery phase, made our families feel comfortable and brought them closer together during our welcome circle and wedding day, and created a ceremony that was authentic and unique to us. She showed up fully for us, laughed and cried with us, and always made us feel special, seen, and supported.
She is truly a gift and we feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her and now call her a friend.
Please book Lauren if you are looking for an officiant who is passionate, sentimental, talented, fun, and willing to explore what marriage is all about with you and your partner.
Thank you for sharing some of your magic with us, Lauren. We love you and hope you know how special you are to us and our family. -

Pure Gratitude
There aren't words to describe what Lauren did for me and my husband and what she came to mean to both of us but I'll certainly try to find them... As our officiant- Lauren got to the core of our separate selves and us as a couple and really reflected that special knowledge in our ceremony which had our guests laughing, crying, and up on their feet participating. And as our newest friend- Lauren held our hands throughout the planning process and the day-of our wedding, making us feel supported and cherished and always, always celebrated and loved. We are incredibly grateful to have had her by our sides throughout this important time in our lives and we hope that anyone going through this same process would have the amazing opportunity to work with her, and get to know her, as well. -

Words cannot express enough, how incredible Lauren is. She is the best out there!!
Lauren was everything we needed, and more. I cannot see my wedding, without her. She was such a hugely important part of our process. She really took care of us during all the stressful months that led up to our special day together... and I wouldn’t want anyone else standing up there with us but her.
She was the reason our ceremony was so special, and such a tear jerker. The way she connects with the couples she works with makes all the difference. She doesn’t just show up the day of the wedding... she works with the couple months ahead, giving so much love and support. She’s incredibly thoughtful, loving and one of the most passionate people I will ever meet. You can tell, that she truly and absolutely loves what she does. Lauren is worth it. My husband and I just love her to death and will never forget what she did for us.-

From Scotland to San Francisco
So my husband and I finally decided to tie the knot and he thought it would be a great idea to travel from Scotland to San Francisco to have our wedding. Where do you even start? So picking the venue was easy enough. The magnificent City Hall. Next who will perform our ceremony, we didnt want it to feel like a business transaction. So the search started. So I stumbled upon Lauren's webpage one afternoon in work, sent an email off had a reply and our journey began. Lauren is absolutely amazing. She is such a lovely, kind hearted person and we connected with her straight away. She captured our love story perfectly, piece by piece and performed such a beautiful ceremony. I can't even describe how wonderfully personal it was. It left us and our friends smiling, laughing and crying all at the same time. Our friends said how beautiful the ceremony was. We would recommend her again and again. Lauren we cannot thank you enough -

Best Officiant EVER!
Lauren is such an awesome officiant! Both my husband and I was looking for an officiant who is energetic, and funny. We also want a wedding ceremony that is unique, meaningful and full of positive vibes. Lauren was able to do deliver what we wanted! She spent time talking to the both of us over video calls and emails. She’s always checking up on me (the bride) and supported me on how I’m feeling since I told her that I don’t like to be the center of attention. We both love how she’s creative and always giving us ideas for the ceremony. We love how she was able to get all the guests to be a part of the ceremony and keeping them engaged. Everyone really enjoyed the ceremony that she officiates. Honestly, we couldn’t be any happier and feel thankful to have Lauren be a part of our special day.
Much love,
Mr. and Mrs. Huynh -

Rock Star Officiant
What can we possibly say about Lauren that isn’t already reflected in her outstanding reviews?? She is truly all of that…. And more! When we first started planning our wedding, we had a different vision in mind, but as we started the process we realized the vision didn’t match who we truly are. Lauren was such a critical sounding board as we worked to actualize our dream wedding. From our first interview with Lauren through to our elopement, we knew Lauren was there to support and encourage us. While we had no idea what to expect from an officiant, as I imagine many couples experience, we couldn’t have asked for better. The discovery process allowed us the opportunity to explore topics that prepared us for marriage. Lauren’s ceremony development was so spot-on, I couldn’t believe she had so accurately pinpointed who we are, individually and as a couple. We were shocked by how accurately she had understood us for having known us such a short time. We can’t help but feel as though we had known Lauren for years, when it was literally months. Lauren was there, too, when we experienced the loss of our very senior pup, just the day before our wedding. A heartbreaking experience at any time, it seemed amplified by the timing. Her understanding and support as we went through the process was beyond any expectations. She found beautiful ways to acknowledge our very raw loss without detracting from our ceremony and wedding day experience. There’s not a handbook for how to handle situations like these (at least, not that we know of), but Lauren could write that book, truly. She allowed us to experience the pain of a fresh loss, while guiding us toward our new chapter as a married couple.
We can’t let our review go without also acknowledging her ability to “do what needs to be done”. Lauren carried a canopy about 2 miles roundtrip, up and down stairs, up and down rocks, to our ceremony site at the edge of a cliff. Just in case it rained. Seriously, Lauren is a ROCK STAR. -

One of a Kind!
Lauren really is the only officiant to consider. A very bold statement I agree, but from the vey first email to the after care we received, Lauren was truly wonderful.
The journey you go through together with Lauren ensures your ceremony is everything you wish it could be and more. We eloped to San Francisco in October 2018, we had no idea how or what we could do. With Lauren's help and guidance, our ceremony really was OUR ceremony. We were a little nervous prior to speaking with her face to face over web cam, but the moment you meet Lauren you simply know that there is no one better suited, more genuine or qualified to be the person that marries you. Our ceremony was filled with Laughter, Love, Joy and Sun Shine. A day we will remember forever and Lauren will remain a huge part of that. -

Exceptional, phenomenal, and authentic! We love her!
Lauren was the most amazing officiant we could have ever dreamed of. She went above and beyond, and became an instant family member to all of us. My father passed away a couple years ago, and Lauren was someone my mom and I could turn to for advice and emotional guidance. Her original ceremony and pre-ceremony ideas added an element of tremendous tenderness and group bonding to our wedding weekend. The welcome circle was one of our favorite moments, and our wedding planner said he would suggest this to all new clients. Lauren made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. The pre- wedding couple activities she suggested were great reminders to take in the moment and appreciate each other during the madness of wedding planning, and it was also really fun! We left the weekend feeling like we truly made a new friend in Lauren. She is so loving and warm and the ceremony was truly the heart of our wedding. Thank you, Lauren, you are amazing.
Much love,
The Vendettis -

I can't say enough great things about Lauren!
If you're looking at all the 5-star reviews of Lauren and thinking "Is she really that good?" the answer is an empathetic YES! Out of all our vendors, my husband and I spent the most time researching officiants since the act of getting married IS the reason we invited all our friends and family to our special day. We wanted to feel a connection with our officiant, and not have a cookie cutter ceremony. Lauren checked all of our boxes, and then some. From our first conversation, we immediately felt at ease. It was obvious Lauren is very passionate about what she does, and her warmth and enthusiasm exudes from within.
Because we lived a few hours away from each other, we coordinated the ceremony by video chat and email. Lauren asked us to answer some questions she called the "discovery" process, and it helped my husband and I clearly articulate how we feel about each other and gave us some great insight on our communication styles (which has allowed us to understand each other better).
The ceremony itself was beautiful. The ceremony she wrote was humorous, playful, loving and sincere -- she did a fantastic job capturing what we are like as a couple, and telling our love story to our guests. So many people commented how much they loved Lauren after the ceremony. Do yourself a favor and get in touch with Lauren! You won't regret it. -

Best ceremony ever!
Lauren was amazing from beginning to end! Both my husband and I found the prospect of designing the ceremony and writing vows very intimidating, but Lauren was very helpful and supportive the entire way. She was creative and took the time to really get to know the two of us, so the ceremony really felt authentic to the two of us and our families. We got feedback from our guests that it was the best wedding ceremony they've ever been to (and this was from a friend who's a wedding videographer, so he's been to a lot of weddings)!!! The ceremony is such an important part of the wedding day, so we're really happy that we invested so much time into it, and we know it wouldn't have been the same without Lauren. She really made the day very special! -

More than just an officiant, a real confidant and true friend!
As a passionate teacher and distiller, we are a couple who can tell if someone loves their job. Lauren most definitely LOVES her job and we couldn't ask for more out of an officiant. (And frankly, neither can you!) We loved having her be a part of our journey!
Lauren gave us the courage to be bold and proud with our relationship and helped us explore the depths of our connection. This made for an amazing, meaningful ceremony that everyone remembered fondly and a wedding full of happy tears.
Lauren helped workshop our vows and kept us positive throughout this entire process. We couldn't have asked for a better person who embodied what we felt was the most important thing about celebrating a union: love.
No one will remember what your bouquet was or why it meant something to you, but everyone will remember how you looked at each other on that day. And - even though I know my husband looks at me with a smile that ends wars - this day, everyone else was able to see that out of him too. :)
Lauren, thank you so much for everything. You are an amazing soul and you make the world a better place. -

"Just when you think Lauren cannot get any better... she does"
Firstly, if you are reading this and thinking about booking Lauren for your wedding or elopement, book her immediately - you will not regret it. I don't think we could praise Lauren enough, from the moment we contacted her, we felt absolutely at ease. To us, she is not only our wedding officiant, but our friend.
Lauren is incredible. We eloped in Yosemite, and we wanted our ceremony to be special, and intimate. Lauren surpassed our expectations.
When we met her for the first time in person, prior to our wedding, it genuinely felt like we were meeting up with our long-time friend. It was like we had known her for years. Lauren was more than up for the hike through Yosemite, and for standing on the edge of the cliff face for the ceremony!
Throughout the process, Lauren went above and beyond to ensure that we had the best possible experience. What really stood out to us is that she took the time to get to know us, and understand what we wanted from our wedding day. We had a number of Skype calls (we're from Amsterdam) over the course of year prior to our wedding, where we went through a set of discovery questions which Lauren had set out - these were designed for her to get to know us, but it also had the additional benefit for us that it allowed us to take the time to consider our relationship and really find out what we wanted from our wedding day.
The ceremony that she created for us was better than we could have ever imagined. It captured 'us' and felt very special. She was always available to talk things through, or offer helpful tips, and numerous times she went above and beyond.
"Just when you think Lauren cannot get any better... she does", was what my Husband said, when 4 days before our wedding, we had an issue with get our wedding certificate, and we were panicking. We shot an email to Lauren, and had a response from her straight away; she calmed us down and came up with a solution that meant that we could still get officially married on the day.
Not only that, but our discussions with her through the discovery process (and after!) have positively impacted our relationship, but also our relationships with our families. She is incredibly insightful, and gave us some really beautiful advice, which will continue to make a difference in our lives, as we go forward in our marriage.
We honestly could not recommend Lauren enough, and we are so glad to have chosen her as our wedding officiant.
Lauren, THANK YOU! -

Working with Lauren was absolutely a 5-star experience! She is such a wonderful person and a pro at what she does. My husband and I really enjoyed her in-depth process, which brought out the best in our ability to express our love and admiration for each other. We didn't hire a wedding planner and Lauren was so helpful with her tips for how to make our day run more smoothly. Overall I can't recommend her services enough! If you are lucky enough to work with Lauren you will be guaranteed a ceremony that you and your guests will remember forever! -

Going into our wedding day, my wife and I didn't know what to expect from an officiant. We asked ourselves questions like, "How involved will she be?" or "How will she cater to what we want from our ceremony to make it unique to us?" Looking back on our experience with Lauren I can confidently say that our wedding would not have been the same without her. Due to her passion for officiating and getting to know us deep down on an individual basis, our ceremony ended up being extremely special and authentic to us. Lauren completely went above and beyond our initial expectations and even proofread and revised my vows a couple hours before it was showtime on the altar (which honestly gave me a huge boost of confidence when I needed it most)! Anyone would be ecstatic to work with Lauren. She is the BEST! -

We - Lena and Florian - are so happy to have had Lauren as our wedding officiant!!
We had quite a unique situation on our hands, as it was a surprise elopement. We are from Austria and I (Florian) planed the proposal and the wedding to be during our vacation visiting friends in California. As Lena had no idea, planing the wedding was a bit tricky. For Lauren as well, this was unusual especially because the first time we met in person was at the wedding. Luckily she was up for the challenge and excited to be a part of it!!
Our road trip led us amongst other spots through Death Valley, Zion National Park and Grand Canyon. We have seen unbelievable great landscapes and it was so to speak an advanced honeymoon.
I proposed on our road trip at the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in Death Valley and Lena said 'yes' :)
Just eight days later, Lauren and our friends were waiting for us on the beautiful coast of Monterey to celebrate with us our very special day. We had a beautiful ceremony that Lauren made so unique and beautiful, including the thoughts of our friends and family who couldn't be with us.
Lauren also helped us with our documents and getting an apostille (a paper we need for the Austrian register office). We had a bit of trouble with it and she went out of her way to help getting everything in the end. We are more than thankful for her efforts!!! Also she was shockingly quick :))
We definitely feel like we didn't just find ourselves a wedding officiant, but made a new friend!!
Lauren, we thank you so much, that you were part of this wonderful and unforgettable journey!!
We hope, actually we are quite sure, that we will see each other again some time.
Maybe next year in May, when we will celebrate our wedding amongst our relatives and friends back home in Austria. .. just in case you need a reason to come to Europe! :)

Lauren is the best officiant out there, hands down. I’m honestly struggling to even find the words to express just how amazing she is. When planning our wedding, it was most important to my husband and I that our ceremony be heartfelt and genuine to who we are as a couple. We have been to so many weddings where it seems the officiant is going through the motions, and the emotion and personality of the couples and their relationships are lacking. Lauren made our ceremony emotional, beautiful, and authentic to who we are. It felt exactly how we’d hoped it would. Getting to know Lauren throughout the months leading up the wedding was an absolute joy. Her warmth and enthusiasm are unmatched and she genuinely got to know both my husband and I as individuals and as a couple. We’d faced some difficult issues during our engagement and but Lauren was by our side, supporting us the entire way. Since we were planning a destination wedding from across the country, our meetings with Lauren were over video chat, but when we finally got to meet her in person at our rehearsal, it felt like we were meeting an old friend. Our wedding ceremony was absolutely perfect and I am not exaggerating when I say, every single one of our guests came up to us throughout the rest of the wedding to tell us how beautiful the ceremony was and how much they loved Lauren. Lauren set the entire tone of the weekend from the start of the rehearsal and created an environment of love and openness. Our ceremony was truly written and tailored just for us instead of a cliche, traditional, typical ceremony we see at so many weddings. Without a doubt, having Lauren as our officiant was the best decision we made and we are so thankful she was a part of our wedding. -

Lauren is absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond when it came to our wedding. From our very first interview she was kind, easy to talk to, knowledgeable and helpful. We are so incredibly glad we found her. Lauren really helped us to become stronger in our relationship and opened the discussion for what marriage really means to the both of us. She wrote a custom ceremony around our values and relationship, that contained many unique traditions and radiated love. We received so many compliments on the ceremony, several people said that it was the best wedding they had ever attended. She was there for anything we needed, vow writing, advice, ideas, and even ran our rehearsal flawlessly. On the day of or wedding, she arrived early and exceeded our expectations assisting with things beyond her job description. There is absolutely not enough good things we could say about Lauren, and if you’re looking for an officiant, you could not make a better choice. -

My husband and I were looking for an officiant that had a calming vibe, was unique and beyond the traditional. It was very important for us to have a down to earth, non religious ceremony.
After looking for a couple weeks, we finally found Lauren. The moment I saw her website and read her reviews, I knew she was the one for us. Her calming soul along with her positive energy, made this whole process a discovery not only for us as a couple, but as an individual.
Our ceremony planning was more of a counseling session, where we learned more about each other and the meaning marriage had for us. It made us feel prepared for this new chapter knowing exactly what to expect for the good and bad times. It made us connect even deeper as a couple.
Leaning towards the wedding week, Lauren was always there for us, helping with vows and offering help in case we were feeling overwhelmed.
Our wedding ceremony was everything we’ve dreamed of. Just pure magic. Beautiful weather, flowers, loved ones and Lauren as our officiant. All the guests mentioned that was their favorite wedding ceremony they had witnessed.
I’m so thankful for Lauren and glad our paths crossed and she was our officiant for one of the most important days of our lives.
We love you Lauren! -

Robert and I planned a small, intimate ceremony in Yosemite National Park for March 20th, 2018. We knew we wanted a very relaxing and stress free day, but most importantly, to work with someone who just “got” us both as individuals and as a couple. After some searching, we found Lauren in a blog post from our photographers! After reading her website and reviews from her previous couples, we knew we had to talk to her! A few days later, Robert and I were having a video chat where she took the time to tell us about herself and what she holds most dear when it comes to officiating weddings as well as what our goals are for the big day. We clicked instantly, and she told us to sleep on it before making any decisions, but even before we hung up we knew that she was the PERFECT match for us! Through every step of creating our ceremony, the awesome “Discovery phase” she has each couple complete and share, to even walking with us and my parents to the ceremony location and exploring Yosemite Falls the day before, there’s literally nothing we would change! Lauren is extremely easy going, humble, kind and thoughtful AND she’s a certified life coach, which was very beneficial when we had a few family hiccups along the way! Robert and I definitely thought that her life coach skills were apparent because of the advice and guidance she gave us throughout our many hours of chatting. We still talk about our wedding ceremony (Our parents too! They absolutely loved Lauren!) because all of the hard work that Lauren did to really capture us as individuals and as a couple was very apparent. Lauren took the time to explain to our guests what Robert and I see in each other and how we’ve grown as a couple and what marriage means to us. She’s an absolute gem of a person and we feel like we have a new lifelong friend! If you are still in the search for an amazing officiate, look no further! :) (P.S., ask to see Omi and Lala because they are 100% amazing kitties!) -

Lauren is simply the best! Wonderfully engaged in who we are and what we hoped for, she partnered with us to craft a ceremony that will be remembered by all as heartfelt and joyous and uniquely ours. Everyone wondered, “How did you find her? She was amazing!” Her expertise, care, commitment and joyous verve made our wedding fly higher than we could have imagined. SO lucky to have found you Lauren, we can’t thank you enough for making us so happy and making so many memories. -

We are very happy that we chose Lauren Snead to officiate at our wedding. When we interviewed officiants, we were taken by her high energy, positivity, and creative talent. She took care to learn about us through interviews and the directed writing assignments she gave us. To prepare for our ceremony, we met with Lauren several times using video chat. Video chat made the meetings very convenient for us and at the same time allowed us to get to know her. By the day of our wedding, we felt as it we’d known her for a long time.
Lauren wove together the ceremony using her experience and the words that we used to describe ourselves and each other. Our family and friends loved the ceremony and told us how it felt so much like us.
On our wedding day, Lauren’s infectious energy put the wedding party into the perfect frame of mind. While we are both shy people, we felt completely comfortable throughout the ceremony. Lauren really involved all of our wedding guests in the ceremony.
We give Lauren our highest recommendation.

This review is long overdue :) We got married in August 2017. Our number one requirement on deciding for an officiant for our wedding ceremony was someone who could conduct the ceremony in the capacity of a friend for the happiness, comfort and excitement to show! This is when we came across Lauren on Yelp and after the first call with her, my husband and I both felt she was the one we wanted :) She had us with her positive, vibrant and fun personality.
Lauren worked hard to put together our beautiful ceremony in a relatively short time! She had us fill out discovery questionnaires which really not only helped her get to know us individually and as a couple but also for us to take a pause from the wedding planning mode and reflect on our relationship. It was a beautiful experience :) When we met after this to go over the ceremony, it was so easy to connect and open up about our story to Lauren, especially given the fact that the husband and I can be pretty private individuals. It did feel like three friends hanging out :) We got so many complements on our ceremony and multiple guests even asked about how we knew Lauren(assuming she was our close friend, which she did become :))
I can't thank Lauren enough for adding to the love and happiness on our special day and conducting our ceremony better than what we had imagined! Thank you for conveying our journey as individuals and as a couple so beautifully!
It was a pleasure to work with someone so lovely, hardworking, punctual and AMAZING as Lauren.
P.S - I wish I could give more than 5 stars!! -

Lauren was amazing to work with. We interviewed a few different officiants, but she was the only one who made us feel like our ceremony would be unique and true to who we are as a couple. Lauren radiates love and joy. Her energy enabled us to be open about ourselves and our relationship. Her discovery process was deep and meaningful, and we're grateful that we had the opportunity to experience it. Lauren curated our stories to compose her script, and she had wonderful ideas for activities that would help our guests take an active role in the event. The end result was a ceremony that was personal, engaging, moving, warm, and entertaining. We continue to hear "I loved your officiant" from our guests. -

This review is LONG overdue! My husband and I wish we could give Lauren 10+ stars!!!! In one word, she is AMAZING.
We are based in LA and I found her on Yelp while planning our intimate elopement in Muir Woods. After reading her rave reviews on multiple wedding websites and checking out her website, I knew she was the one! We were so lucky she felt exactly the same after our initial video chat. It was positive vibes all around.
Lauren is an incredibly happy, genuine, loving, and caring soul. Her positive energy is contagious! We cannot say enough great things about her.
The time we spent exploring our relationship and planning our ceremony was our favorite part of planning our elopement. Her discovery process for couples helped us understand each other better and ultimately brought my husband and I closer together! She has mind-blowing insight and we value the relationship we built with her during this important chapter in our lives.
I honestly don't know how anyone ever got married without Lauren. You'll seriously regret not having her on your team for your big day! We love you Lauren!-

Lauren officiated our wedding in June and she was amazing. From start to finish she went above and beyond our expectations. It was important to my wife and me to have a ceremony that truly reflected who we are as a couple and Lauren achieved that and more! From the beginning she made sure we were the right fit for her services. She cares so deeply about our values and history as a couple. My wife and I had been together for 10 years before we got engaged so we were really looking for someone who could do more for us then just say some standard recitation at our ceremony. We were seeking someone who could capture meaning, who could understand and honor us as a queer couple, and who would support us through the process. We wanted so much more for ourselves and our families than just throwing a party, and Lauren was the most amazing match for what we wanted. Her discovery process of mutually crafting our custom ceremony and writing our own vows was something we didn't even know we needed. The process of thinking deeply about what was important to us and what this marriage meant for us as a couple was truly one of the best parts of getting married. She supported us and included our families through the rehearsal and on the day-of as well. Lauren is friendly, passionate and intentional about her work, and creates such comfort for us as clients. After the ceremony our guests had so many wonderful comments about how meaningful the ceremony was for them too. Lauren is worth it! -

My now Husband and I knew from the get go that we wanted a ceremony that reflected our personalities, and was fun, and meaningful. From the minute we met Lauren we knew it was a perfect match, and though I'd love to think we are extra special, there is not a doubt in my mind that Lauren is a perfect match with every couple she works with-she is that kind of spirit. Lauren coached us up until the minute I walked down the aisle(in fact, I asked her to change part of our ceremony 2 minutes before). Her exercises not only helped prepare us for our big day, but really consider what we were doing big picture.. she's like your own love cheerleader, and her job is so much more than writing and officiating your ceremony. I can not stress how important it was to have her in our corner throughout this process. She is also only a phone call away, I can't count the amount of times Lauren and I spoke about our ceremony, family drama, or wedding jitters. She is your tride and true advocate, confidante and friend. She takes feedback like a pro, and it was a such a pleasure to work with her. Without Lauren our wedding would not have been as fun or as special. We are forever grateful. -

I have never been a fan of "Dearly beloved, we gather here today...", so when I found Lauren and her amazing reviews after scouring the Bay Area for officiants, I knew we had to have her for our wedding. We were on a budget and she was definitely our biggest investment, but trust me when I say that she is worth every penny.
Lauren took the time to get to know us, dove deep into our relationship to find out what makes us US, and then developed an amazingly personal ceremony filled with anecdotes from our past and enlightening themes she found in our relationship. A lot of our wedding guests were distant relatives, and I really felt that she was able to illustrate both our relationship and who we are as people, well enough for those guests to feel like they know us and know why we work well together.
Most importantly, Lauren is such a breath of fresh air! She's outgoing and full of smiles, and she brought that enthusiasm to our ceremony. Our guests were fully engaged, laughing and clapping along with her. During cocktail hour and the reception, both my (now) husband and I received reports from several of our guests that they really enjoyed the ceremony, especially all the little stories she told about us. Lauren was the best decision we made about our wedding and she gave us everything we wanted in a ceremony. It was fun, engaging, personal, and all our own. -

Lauren is more than an officiant. Prior to our wedding my wife and I weren’t sure if we even wanted a ceremony. They often seemed tedious and impersonal. However, after reading some of Laurens reviews we decided to meet with her for a coffee date. We wanted to know what all the rave reviews were about! After the coffee date my wife and I couldn’t imagine anyone else marrying us. Lauren gets to know each of her couples on a deep and visceral level. She understands intuitively what drives a relationship and can pull out common themes and core values of the couples she is marrying. Through her unique process Lauren provides an intimate, fun, humorous, beautiful, and unforgettable ceremony. After our ceremony people could not stop asking how we knew Lauren and complimenting the moving words she spoke for us. If that wasn’t enough Lauren even helped us set up our venue and was around in case any unforeseen circumstances occurred (which there always are during a wedding!). Simply put, Lauren is one of the warmest and most loving/joyful people we have ever met. You will not regret hiring her, and she will make your special day truly memorable. As cliché as it is to say, there are not words to describe how amazing Lauren is. We cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us, and for making our vision a reality. -

Lauren embodies the insight, wisdom, and concern that every wedding officiant should possess. The process she takes a couple through is enlightening, emotional, and so critical not only to a successful ceremony, but a successful marriage! This truly was an investment in our journey as a couple - an investment in really understanding how we saw ourselves as individuals and what we valued in each other.
We laughed and cried during the process which Lauren deftly guided us through and in the end had a ceremony that exceeded our expectations. It truly was a ceremony that was crafted from our love story.
Lauren exudes a genuine warmth and compassion that helps to ease the tension that can arise from the stress of such a major life event.
Even though we have only known Lauren for a very short time she feels like she is a part of our extended family. We couldn't imagine our wedding ceremony without her smile, her warmth, or her love! -

Finding the perfect officiant was one of my top priorities when planning my wedding. I was so worried we would end up with a cliché, impersonal ceremony that would contradict the purpose of our intimate Yosemite National Park elopement. We wanted someone who could create a ceremony that would be a memorable, unique reflection of our relationship, and as soon as I found Lauren I knew she was our person! Lauren has such a warm, positive personality and is so easy to talk to – when we Skyped with her for the first time it felt like we were talking to a friend that we had known for years! Her entire process is so unique and allowed my husband and I to look deeper into ourselves and our relationship and gave us the opportunity to have so many conversations we may not have otherwise had. Lauren put so much effort into getting to know us and helped us direct our attention on what mattered most – our love for each other! She was so helpful throughout our entire planning process and working with her made me so much more confident that we would be able to organize the wedding we wanted to have.
Our wedding day could not have been any more perfect. Lauren was a total trooper hiking a few miles through snow and crossing streams with us to get to our mountaintop ceremony location! There was not a dry eye during the ceremony, especially when Lauren sang a portion of a song that my husband had picked out for us. She told our story so well and there is no other way I would have wanted to begin my married life with my husband! I cannot thank Lauren enough for everything she did for us. Our wedding day would not have been what it was without her and I am so honored to have been able to work with her! Lauren is such an inspiring, amazing person and I highly recommend her as an officiant! -

We can't thank Lauren enough for making our ceremony and whole day so amazing. She was the talk of the wedding! So many people said "best ceremony I've ever been to." After the ceremony, people were asking how long we've known her!! She put so much thought and hard work into getting to know us. The whole process made us learn more about ourselves and each other. I can honestly say we're now stronger as a couple because of the discovery questions, it gave us a chance to really open up about some things that we never would have talked about on a normal day. Lauren was the best addition to our wedding!!! -

I’m sharing this about six months late, but no less true and sincere!
We are so happy to have had Lauren be such an integral part of our wedding day! We eloped in the Santa Cruz redwoods with our immediate family in tow, and Lauren, who made our ceremony a one-of-a-kind, unforgettable experience. Having gone against the grain by forgoing the traditional church ceremony and big-party-wedding our families were accustomed to, it was very important for us to put all our energy and focus on the ceremony, and create a celebration that was truly meaningful, intimate and special. Without Lauren, this would not have been possible, and we are so grateful to have had her guidance, expertise and dedication throughout the entire process.
From the moment we met Lauren via Skype for our first meet-and-greet, we knew we wanted her to be a part of our special day. She exudes a warmth, familiarity and joyfulness that made us feel like we'd just caught up with a long-time friend, and felt very excited to embark on this next chapter of our lives with her help. It's these qualities that make her stellar at her craft, and help to create a meaningful and unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
Our family was absolutely charmed by Lauren as well, and loved being a part of our ceremony - which Lauren knew was incredibly important to us. Our parents and sister were very touched and moved by Lauren's words, warmth and joy, and could not stop talking about how wonderful, unique and special our ceremony was. Not even the rainy weather that day could put a damper on the occasion! There wasn't a dry eye in our little circle of love, and the magic and beauty of our surroundings, and the warmth and joy that enveloped us will be ingrained in our memories and hearts forever. Thank you so much, Lauren! -

When it came time to look for a wedding officiant, we were a little stumped. Finding Lauren, a friend of a friend of Alan’s sister, was an absolute dream come true. Lauren delivered the professionalism and respectability that my husband wanted, while bringing to the table a way deeper level of understanding and empathy than I could have ever imagined. From the very first time we met her, over skype, I felt like she was an old friend. Alan and I both felt so comfortable with her that we shared way more than I think either of us thought we would. By the end of that meeting, we were totally sold. It was her openness, her willingness to really go there and talk about anything and everything, that made choosing her so easy.
The process of working with Lauren was a dream! Working on her Discovery Questions exercise, in which we each answered questions about ourselves, each other, our relationship, the meaning of partnership and of family, was an unbelievable experience. We realized that we had been doing a lot of work up until that point on the logistics of the wedding- the event planning part of it- so it was exhilarating to focus on the most important part of the whole thing: our love! The reason we were getting married at all!
Lauren made our wedding weekend truly amazing. Our two families were meeting for the first time, and the opening circle Lauren held before our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner was a beautiful coming together of all the most important people in our lives. It set the tone for a weekend where love, honesty, and community would be the focus. Alan’s family is very religious and we had been nervous that that they wouldn’t approve of our secular ceremony, but they couldn’t help but love it. People have since told us that our ceremony inspired them to work harder at their own relationships, and that it was easily the most honest and authentic wedding ceremony they’ve ever witnessed. Lauren is pure magic! -

Lauren did a spectacular job at making our wedding ceremony remarkable and unforgettable. We considered numerous officiates before reaching out to Lauren and after our first Skype meeting we knew that she would be the right person for us. Lauren brings a unique approach to creating a wedding ceremony that is meaningful and relevant to the couple she is working with. She spent time getting to know us and we collaborated closely, so that Lauren could facilitate a personalized ceremony that told our love story and reflected our understanding of our marriage commitment. Lauren is very professional, bright, fun and personable and we would recommend her to anyone looking for a forward-thinking officiate for their special day. -

Oh goodness, where do I even begin? In all of my years attending and being in weddings, never have I seen an officiant even half as amazing as Lauren. Working with her was less about simple readings and vows, it was a little bit of counseling and really digging deep into WHY my (new) husband and I were making this commitment. Her methods are remarkable and we had an incredible journey! She also had amazing suggestions for the ceremony that related to who we are as a couple and how to involve those attending the wedding. Everyone who attended our wedding gushed over how amazing she and the ceremony were.
Additionally, it should be said that Lauren is an incredible person. She has officially become one of my niece's favorite people (short of her teacher and her mother - you'll note that Lauren now is higher on that list than even I am! I'm not jealous. (I'm totally jealous)). My entire family has invited her up to visit us (we live in Seattle). She's amazing and I can't recommend her highly enough!!!! -

AlI I have to say is wow!! If you are looking for the perfect officiant, look no longer. Lauren is your person! My wife Amy and I were in the same dilemma when we were looking for the perfect person to officiate our special day in October 2016. Lauren sat down and met with us 3 times to capture the essence of our relationship and what we were looking for in our ceremony. She created the perfect ceremony that captured our personalities to a tee. Lauren is very kind, thoughtful, funny, outgoing and is an all around great person; the type of person you want to be leading such a sacred event with loved ones. She was exactly what we were looking for. My favorite trait of Lauren's is that she is a great listener! We never had to tell her anything twice. She listened to what we envisioned for our wedding and created our ceremony based on what we wanted, not what she wanted or what she was comfortable with from past ceremonies. Our ceremony was unique and fit us perfectly. Lastly, Lauren brought two families together, most of who hadn't met previously. She led an activity at the rehearsal dinner where everyone stood in a circle and introduced themselves, which a lot of our family and friends appreciated. She turned what typically is a nerve-wracking and anxious moment to a unique, fun, loving and uniting experience. I've had several people tell me that our ceremony was the best ceremony they have ever seen and been a part of. We can solely thank Rhythm & Light Ceremonies for this! -

From the very first discussion I had with Lauren, as an excited and overwhelmed bride-to-be, she was fun, professional and very intuitive. She seemed to just GET us as a couple and guided us through the ceremony process almost effortlessly. In terms of business arrangements and scheduling, she is amazing because she is both organized and approachable. Her confident positivity and knowledge of the whole wedding process helped me feel comfortable. My wife and I wanted our wedding to be meaningful, incorporating a bit of social justice and also reflecting on our life together so far and our vision for our future. Lauren’s process allowed us to really think about not just our wedding, but our marriage. Her coaching process brought us closer together during the planning process and got us to sit down together and talk about our relationship, in the midst of all the chaos. On our wedding day we were closer and more present with each other because of it. The ceremony Lauren wrote was absolutely heartfelt, funny and engaging, and we got SO many compliments on it from our guests! THANK YOU Lauren for making our wedding super meaningful and helping it all come together; we will never forget how you made our wedding such an honest and joyous celebration! I wish we could do it all over again!

At this point I am not sure how people even manage to have weddings without Lauren. Seriously, how?! How can you craft a more meaningful, more love driven, joy filled journey without a Lauren in your life? Lauren craft is nothing short of magic and brings the true meaning of wedding ceremonies to life: LOVE.
We began working with Lauren at the very beginning of our wedding planning process. This was hand's down the single-most-important-element of our journey toward the altar so to speak. From the moment my husband and I met her, she brought out incredible level of vulnerability out of us. Her authenticity, ability to tune in to what is important to you as a couple and empathize is unparalleled. We both cried and laughed tears of all the feelings that would bind my husband and I closer together over the next year of working with her. After the first meeting we made a commitment to doing whatever we could to make room for Lauren in our budget and I cannot STRESS enough how this was the single-most-important expense of our wedding. It was the whole point of the thing. She helped us craft/be intentional about this incredibly profound commitment we were making to one another.
Lauren isn't the kind of officiant who show's up and then bounces... No No No.
She helps you and your wedding party set powerful intentions the night before. I swear this moment she led us all in our intentions for the big day literally changed the lives of people who attended our intimate ceremony. A pair of our friends began dating, another relationship strengthened and family members had various revelations on the meaning of love over our wedding weekend, stating, "It changed their lives".
That's what Lauren does, she stands with you as you are about to change your life and adds magic so that you and your beloved can create something beyond your wildest dreams.

Don't waste your time looking for other officiants! :-) Lauren is the best. We knew it when we met her and loved working with her for a few months leading up to our wedding. So many of our family and friends - all very different types of people - had amazing things to say to us and to Lauren about her ceremony. It was such a special day for us, and we are so lucky to have had Lauren's help to make the ceremony so personalized and meaningful. -

We found Lauren on Wedding Wire on a crazy night when we just found out that our officiant plans were not going to work out. In fact, I had a serious Bridezilla moment and was furiously looking though officiants when I read reviews of some of Lauren's past clients. I figured there was a chance that she was already booked up, but I emailed her anyway and she IMMEDIATELY responded. That was everything to me. I think even before I spoke with her at all, that I had made the decision to work together.
We live out of state and Lauren was super helpful working with our schedules to Skype with us. She also genuinely cared about getting to know us on a very personal level. She was so sweet, so gracious, and so giving there were no doubts in our minds that she was the one for us! When Lauren sent over the draft of our ceremony, I read it with my sister and we both cried it was so beautiful. The reason it was so touching was because Lauren took the time to understand us as a couple and really tapped into how we wanted our guests to feel during our ceremony.
Our ceremony was a sacred event to us. All of our guests commented on how special and emotional it was for them. Lauren really set the tone for our special day: she made our guests laugh, smile, and cry tears of joy. We also found something more working with Lauren- we found a very special friend that we are so thankful was such a huge part of our wedding. -

Meeting Lauren at a wedding fair and hiring her to be our officiant was the best decision I made for my wedding (after the groom of course).
If you are looking for a joyful, generous, heart-centered officiant, then you have found her.
I have been at a loss for words to describe Lauren since the wedding a few weeks ago. Lauren took the time to get to know us so that by the time the ceremony took place, she felt like a friend officiating the wedding for us. From the very beginning of the discovery process, I knew that she was the right choice. Our ceremony was flawlessly us. Of all the things I felt that I had to worry about, the ceremony was never one of them. She worked with us up until the very last moment to ensure that we were as content with the ceremony as we could be.
We flew Lauren across the country to officiate our wedding and it was 100% worth it. She took the time to get to know our families, helped with our wedding favors and sat and counseled us when we were stressed and overwhelmed. Lauren doesn't just feel like our officiant anymore - she feels like a friend who will be in our lives for years to come. -

Looking for a wedding officiant that will enthusiastically learn all about your relationship, joyfully communicate your story to your loved ones with truth and laughter, and infuse your entire wedding experience the depth of your love? STOP. You just found her.
Once we began working on our ceremony with Lauren, our entire wedding was elevated. Actually, not just our wedding, but our MARRIAGE was taken to new heights. Lauren's expert guidance infused our every detail, word, and vow with greater meaning. Her unique "discovery" process was often romantic, sometimes a lot of silly fun, but also got us to dig in deep, look at things that both enthused and scared us, resulting in an amazingly personal ceremony experience that will be held reverently in our hearts for life.
My new husband and I have a long, winding history together and with Lauren's expert crafting, our ceremony was not only moving to us, but to our entire congregation. Our guest list was varied, full of friends and family of many different denominations of faith. They may have arrived expecting some nervous laughter and a sermon, but they were instead delighted by a completely unique, personal, and joyful service, of which they were all included. And, yes, it was the ceremony experience - not the delicious food or gorgeous flowers - but the experience of being married in their presence that stands out to our guests as their favorite part of our wedding. So many people told us, "all weddings should be like this!" Best wedding ever... achieved!
Today, Lauren is not only our new trusted friend, but she is a special member of our forever family. -

We were searching for the perfect officiant when we found Lauren and she couldn't have been anymore perfect for us. We wanted to find an officiant who was going to give us a great ceremony that wasn't religious, but portrayed the love that me and my wife have for each other. After reading some of the other reviews for Lauren; we knew we had found our match.
Every interaction with Lauren was just absolutely amazing. She's easy to talk and extremely approachable. At all times we felt totally comfortable with her throughout her process. Lauren did much more for us then just write a speech. Her process is in depth and has you really think about yourself and your partner. Her questions to get to understand us were deeply engaging and they helped us to see our own issues and things we may not have known before.
Lauren is incredibly talented and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a highly personal ceremony that will give your guests an in depth look into who you and your spouse are and what makes you so great together. We had the most amazing wedding day and Lauren was the perfect fit for us on our perfect day. -

We searched endlessly for an officiant that was willing to venture away from their typical script/program. No one was returning emails or willing to meet with us let alone spend many hours creating something to represent us as a couple. Through a referral from a friend at work, we were led to Lauren. On a snowy January night we met with Lauren. Lauren asked questions no one else had ever asked before. She wasn't concerned with what our wedding colors were or what we'd be eating at the reception but rather she genuinely wanted to know about us and our love story and our views of marriage.
Throughout the next couple of months, Lauren took us on a discovery adventure. We dove deep and shared our stories with her. From not only our writing but also our intensive Skype calls, Lauren then created a unique ceremony to fit us, our story and our vision. She took a small topic/piece of our story and ran with it creating connections and a story that our guests could relate to. Over time, she helped us to tweak and finalize the ceremony so that it truly represented us in every way. Our guests were so touched by the extent that Lauren knew us and valued our relationship. Lauren perfectly executed the ceremony giving all of our guests a glimpse into our past, our day to day relationship and our future together. Many of our guests raved about Lauren, her professionalism and the extent at which she represented us in every way. In the short time since our wedding, we've been told that this was truly "the best" ceremony that many of our guests have attended. We owe all of that to Lauren and to the journey that she so graciously took us on over the last 10 months! If you're searching for someone to help make your day stand out not for the after party, but for the ceremony, search no further, Lauren is it! Lauren will help you to see and understand your partner in ways you never imagined! She'll lead you through a journey and a ceremony that you and your guests will never forget! -
