Lori is wonderful

We hired Lori to "officially" marry us right before our wedding ceremony, which was led by our friend who could not legally marry us. Lori was super responsive, professional, and worked with our timeline. On our wedding day, she was punctual, warm, and added a really nice moment to the day before the larger event started. I would definitely recommend Lori's services!

Amazing officiant!

If you are wondering who to pick to play such a special role in your day, look no further!! Lori is an incredible officiant! Throughout the whole planning process she was on top of everything, extremely responsive and took the time to go through everything with us step by step. With the stress of planning on a wedding she made sure that none of it came from her role in the wedding. It was a pleasure working with her and I would highly recommend Lori for any wedding!!

Lori was lovely!

Lori was lovely as our wedding officiant! Her warm and caring personality made us feel at ease, and she took the time to get to know us as a couple. Lori's professionalism and attention to detail were reassuring. She guided us through the entire process, offering valuable suggestions and ideas while also being open to all of our own preferences. She delivered a beautiful ceremony that perfectly captured our love story. Throughout the ceremony, Lori's soothing and reassuring presence helped calm our nerves, making it a truly lovely experience. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to be a part of our wedding day. We highly recommend Lori to anyone seeking a compassionate, dedicated, and talented officiant! Thank you Lori!

Like being married by a friend

Lori is warm and approachable and friendly. When you meet her, you feel like she’s a friend you’ve always had. (In fact, many of the guests thought she was a friend of the family because she was so welcoming.) Her ceremony program was simple, touching, and exactly perfect for us. I also appreciated the attention to detail and preciseness of her service and follow-up. Lori was outstanding and I’m grateful she officiated our day.

Heartfelt thanks!

We were thrilled with the ceremony that Lori helped us to arrange, and see through to fruition. From my first call with Lori, through the planning and the execution, she was warm, open and professional. She put us both at ease and allowed us to make the ceremony the simple celebration we were looking for.
Our guests provided glowing feedback about the ceremony, specifically how easy she was to listen to and how personal they felt her connection was. We are truly grateful.
I would recommend her to anyone looking to create a truly personal ceremony.

Lori made the whole process easy

Lori was great from our first call right through the wedding day. We didn’t know exactly what we wanted from the ceremony and Lori was very helpful - she gave suggestions and made it easy for us to make decisions.

I’d definitely recommend Lori.
