Lauren was wonderful from the beginning to the end. She wrote a beautiful ceremony for us that far exceeded my expectations. I really can’t say enough good things about Lauren or thank her enough for her beautiful words that made our day so special

Lauren was fantastic to work with and really took the time to craft a ceremony that captured us and made us feel so special. Handfasting was new to many people at the ceremony, and she explained and executed it so beautifully. Heavy rain started to come through at the end of the ceremony, but Lauren really rolled with it! Despite the bad weather, our ceremony was everything we hoped for.

Inclusive ceremonies, affirming support - Altar of Acceptance wants to help you celebrate your life with authenticity! From a "traditional" wedding, to a hand-fasting or an elopement, home or baby blessings, your story deserves to be told in a safe space where you can truly honor your love and commitment. I work with couples from all backgrounds, orientations, and religions. If it's important to you, it's important to me. We can do serious, silly, religious, non-religious, non-religious but still traditional, or non-traditional - but no matter what, it's always unique to you! My goal and top priority is to help you find a ceremony and language that illustrates and highlights your personalities, beliefs, and personal truths. Let's tell your story!

I am a wife, mom, business owner, real estate project manager, commissioned notary, and ordained minister. I love books and a good philosophical debate, but I'm also a gym rat and the least flexible yoga-doer you'll ever meet. I'm passionate about marriage equality and indulging your creative options.
