    Great customer service !!

    She was very attentive and patient with all my questions due to the fact that this was my first time getting married. Sounds like a very genuine person with great energy! Would definitely recommend them hands down!

    Lorrie is the best!

    I cannot express how happy I am that we chose Lorrie to officiate our wedding, she helped us craft an extremely personal and meaningful ceremony for the both of us. She helped us keep it together at the altar too! I would absolutely recommend working with her, especially for a handfasting ceremony! She put up with us through figuring out the 'tying of the knot' while being extremely professional and wonderful the entire time. Thank you so much Lorrie, from both of us for making our ceremony as beautiful as possible.

    Awwww. Thank you soooo much. It was truly my honor!! I truly enjoyed working with ya'll. I wish you both nothing but a lifetime of happiness!!

    City Park, New Orleans Elopement

    Lorrie was our wedding officiant for our City Park, New Orleans elopement on 10/25/2020 and she was excellent!! I was coming from out of state so I was working with her via email and the checklist she provided made it very easy! Communication was great. She made our ceremony feel special as she meant every word she spoke to us. I'm sooo happy we chose her as our officiant and would highly recommend her services to any future bride! Thank you Lorrie!

    Newlyweds 2020

    Happy married and I’m excited beyond words can say! Thank you so much Minister Lorrie Werden. My husband and I are so thankful that you were available during these trying times as COVID-19 is going on. We were looking for the impossible to be able to tie the knot and I downloaded the wedding wire app on my phone to give it a shot and it’s been the best choice I could have ever made. Thank you Thank you

    NOLA Elopements's reply:

    So grateful we could safely marry you in these crazy times. It was truly my pleasure! Wishing yall nothing but happiness.

    Highly recommend!

    Lorrie previously officiated my sister's wedding so we got in touch with her to officiate ours. She was very easy to work with, responded fast, and was flexible when we had to change the time of the wedding due to renovations at our venue. The morning of our wedding, she even sent me a very sweet text and told me to just enjoy the moment as it flies by, and boy did it! And as with every wedding, something's gonna go wrong. Our limo was late and we also had a close family member pass early that same morning. Lorrie was a champ through it all and helped us both, let us know if we get too emotional or need a second to compose ourselves just look at her. I'm very glad she was our officiant and she even stayed for the reception to catch up with my sister and her husband. I highly recommend her as an officiant, trust me you'll have no regrets!

    NOLA Elopements's reply:

    Awwww I truly appreciate it. It was my honor!!! So happy to have been party of your special day!!

    Absolute Joy!

    Lorrie was so great. She helped me through the whole wedding license process and helped me better understand what I needed. Getting our ceremony customized was extremely easy. The day of the wedding she helped move things along and was a wonderful source of support. She was in mine and my families' corner before, during, and after the ceremony. She was truly a joy to work with and I can not thank her enough.

    Perfect and made for us

    Lorrie was amazing every step of the way. From the start of messaging in Wedding Wire, she immediately curated the elopement process for us as easy as 1-2-3. Very flexible on dates and she’s wonderful to help us make the event made for us. When we met her, she have us options at the park and once we decided on a spot, she made the ceremony and us feel so treasured, honored and that everything was made for us. She also was superb at getting witnesses and the paperwork. Easy breezy. I’m so glad we eloped and never would have expected our wedding day to be the best and LEAST stressful day of our lives. I highly recommend her - we feel so grateful that Lorrie was part of our day. Thank you!

    Would HIGHLY Recommend!

    Let's be honest, getting married is NOT easy, even if you're planning a low-key wedding. Lorrie was SO helpful from the start, and once we booked her, her process in developing the ceremony made it so that we didn't need to overthink it. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is needing an officiant!

    Perfect elopement

    Lorrie was absolutely amazing as our officiant. We came into New Orleans in the middle of Mardi Gras and decided to get married the Monday before Fat Tuesday. To say the least New Orleans was crazy which is what we wanted and it did not bother Lorrie at all. She was on time and was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. Highly recommend her for your wedding/elopement.

    Thank you again Lorrie!

    Very easy to work with

    I chose Lorrie because of the online reviews. We were not disappointed. She is very quick to respond to all questions and very easy to work with. We had so many compliments after the service about how personal the wedding was for us. Lorrie also was very flexible in moving the wedding date up a day due to bad weather and an outdoor service. We got the wedding we wanted after all.

    Lorrie helped us turn our special day into one that was extremely memerorable, she listened to what we wanted as a couple and made it our own. I could not have asked for a better officiant

    Lorrie was amazing

    Lorrie was amazing. She kept in touch with us as we planned our destination wedding in New Orleans . We had a crazy last minute thing . The venue we were using for our ceremony was closed (Jackson Sq) and we weren’t notified . She calmly helped my hubby move everyone to another location and it all worked out .

    Up and beyond !!

    Lorrie was superb from our first email. She was very quick to respond to our emails . Our ceremony was complete and she sent it to us to review . We made a change or two and she revised it. She even made sure to reach out to have the proper pronunciation of my father’s name Jorge. On the day of the wedding she came to my hotel and reassured me that everything would be great but pointed out that in the end what mattered was Kurt and I getting married . As she met up with my groom they came across a Big problem, the actual ceremony location was locked due to protest(Jackson Square).No one contacted us but my calm groom and Ms.Lorrie were able to figure out what to do. My groom called me and told me what was happening . Soon after I was given the go and brought to Washington Artillery Park. The ceremony was great and we got so many comments on how great Ms.Lorrie was and that they loved everything said in our ceremony. Thank you so much !!

    NOLA Elopements's reply:

    It was absolutely my pleasure!! I am so glad that we were able to adjust your ceremony location and still give you an incredible day with the St Louis Cathedral in your backdrop. I hope that y'all got your deposit back from the city since you were not able to use Jackson Square that you reserved. Thank you both for being such great people to work with. Wishing you nothing but happiness between the two of you!!

    Exceptional Officiant | Look No Further!

    As my fiance' and I were planning our elopement, we were looking for the perfect person to officiate our ceremony. After inquiring with different agencies, Lorrie with NOLA Elopements was the first to respond with a very detailed response, where she introduced herself, her price and locations that we could use at no charge. Without further searching, I knew she was perfect for us!

    She corresponded so kindly as we prepared for our big day; we talked via email and text which was PERFECT for my busy life!

    While preparing, she emailed a personalized ceremony, which was WAY more than what we were expecting, actually- we were not expecting that AT ALL. As my Fiance' and I laid on the couch, personalizing our ceremony and vows, we shared laughter and tears and we just could not wait until our big day!

    On the day of our ceremony, we met Lorrie at the Tree of Life where our ceremony was taking place. Even though we ran into traffic and got detoured and were a littttttle late, she did not complain nor mention it, she completely understood! (we ALL know how NOLA traffic is!)

    Upon arrival, Lorrie told us exactly where to go (she even pinned her location and sent it to us!). She was dressed very professional and is naturally beautiful! She officiated our ceremony so calmly, so sweet. It was as if we would have known her our entire lives.

    If you are looking for an officiant, look no further! Lorrie is your lady, your officiant!

    Thank you, Lorrie for officiating our ceremony. It was such a lovely ceremony, thanks to you!

    Mr. and Mrs. Miller

    Couldn’t recommend a better officiant!

    Lorrie is so lovely. She made the entire process painless and enjoyable! We highly recommend Lorrie for her professionalism and attention to our questions/concerns. We also truly appreciate her special touch to the entire experience.

    NOLA Elopements's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words. Your ceremony was one I will always remember. It was very touching that each of your fathers did readings in your native languages. I loved your unique "scientific" unity ceremony. But mostly, I just genuinely enjoyed working with you both. Wishing you many years of wedded bliss!!

    Lorrie preformed our Wedding service in July 2017. She did everything we had wanted and more, it was the best experience. I would definitely recommend Lorrie to preform your service.

    OMG....Lorrie was amazing! My fiance and I had planned to marry in September but decided at the last minute to elope while we were vacationing in Biloxi for my birthday. I contacted Lorrie and she made everything so simple. With her help, it all just fell into place. She made my birthday and our wedding day the most perfect day ever. I highly recommend Nola Elopements and Lorrie.
