Ceremonies by Lauren

Lauren wrote a beautiful, authentic ceremony that highlighted our love story very well. We were thrilled with the way she spoke and kept it very personal. Our guests could not stop talking about how amazing she was and we would recommend her to anyone!

Lauren is amazing and made our wedding ceremony feel so special. She is responsive, organized, respectful, kind, and so easy to work with. She provided us with a first draft of the ceremony speech shortly after booking her for our wedding, and took any suggestion or request that we had to heart. The day of the wedding itself, Lauren did a great job officiating, and tons of our guests made a point to tell us how great the ceremony was and how impressed they were with Lauren. Additionally, Lauren was a huge help in filing the marriage license application, obtaining the marriage certificate, and changing last names. Overall, we highly recommend Lauren and feel so lucky that we had her officiate our wedding.

Lauren is super professional and responsive. She knows exactly what you want and gave us a unforgettable wedding.

As soon as we met with Lauren for our first chat, we knew that she had what we were looking for in an officiant: down to earth, warm, and genuine. She made the process super easy for us, providing us with many options and ideas and expanding beautifully on ideas and language that we wanted to include. On the day of, Lauren helped keep us grounded, and delivered a lovely ceremony that encapsulated exactly what we wanted. We felt really cared for and like our union was well represented! Multiple folks at the wedding asked if Lauren was a close friend of ours just based on the rapport and ease. She was also super prompt and efficient in assisting with the marriage license process, both before and after the ceremony. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

Lauren provided us with exactly the ceremony we were hoping for. She took the time to get to know our story and combined that with her own expertise to compose a ceremony that was beautiful, personal, and just right in length. Not only did we love her work as a professional, but we really enjoyed getting to know her at the rehearsal dinner (and were thrilled to see all the pictures of her new foster kitten!). Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without her and we would highly recommend her to anyone.

My husband and I decided to get married in a private ceremony with just our children and witnesses. I had no clue how our ceremony should go. Lauren worked with us to make a completely custom ceremony. She was open to any suggestions I had. Lauren even found a way to incorporate my silly/cute unity ceremony using candy!! She was great with my young kids. The ceremony was so intimate and special. It was better then anything I could have ever imagined. Lauren was also super helpful with the process of applying for the license and information of how to obtain our license after the ceremony. I can not recommend Lauren enough!!

Lauren was our officiant for our wedding this past June and was a true DREAM to work with. We found her as she was our venue's recommended officiant, and I would recommend her to any couple looking to make their ceremony feel personal. Throughout our wedding planning process Lauren had us a fill out a questionnaire, we talked on the phone, we emailed back and forth several versions of the ceremonies and vows, etc.; it really felt like a collaborative process. Even though we didn't know Lauren before our wedding, she made our ceremony feel so personal. Of all the parts of our wedding it was one of the top things our guests commented on- they couldn't believe that Lauren wasn't a friend of ours! I really can't recommend her enough!

Lauren is amazing. I was introduced to Lauren when I attended another wedding. I knew I would be reaching out when it was my turn. Lauren responded to my emails immediately and we had a phone conference to discuss the ceremony. Lauren's questionnaire allowed my husband and I to give Lauren insight into who we are individually and as a couple. She used our responses to create a beautiful ceremony. She provided us with the opportunity to edit anything we wanted. We were absolutely pleased with Lauren and would recommend her to all future couples. On top of all of this, Lauren has worked with us on the postponement of our wedding. Originally, my husband and I planned to have our entire celebration in the fall of 2020. With everything going on, we decided to have a small ceremony so we didn't have to wait to get married. We asked Lauren if she would be available to return for our big celebration so we could capture it on video. Lauren didn't hesitate to make sure she was available. Honestly, Lauren is wonderful and you won't be disappointed!

Lauren worked with my husband and me to plan a beautiful summer elopement last August. She was very communicative and listened to our needs and what was important to us in a ceremony. Not only that, but the ceremony she put together for us was thoughtful, creative, and sweet. I can’t recommend Lauren and her services enough!

We hired Lauren to officiate our wedding in October of 2020. She was so great to work with and responsive throughout the entire process (even with a pandemic happening). We had to re-schedule from our original date in June and she was very understanding. She answered all my questions and I had the option to fully read the ceremony script beforehand and directly edit if need be. Luckily not much editing was needed and she had already included an excerpt from one of my favorite readings. After the wedding she promptly filed the license which was such a big help! I would highly recommend Lauren as a wedding officiant – she certainly made the process easy and less stressful!

Lauren was so great and we're so glad we chose her as our officiant! We had no idea what we wanted to include in our ceremony and Lauren put together a beautiful outline that we were able to edit and personalize. Lauren was also so flexible and communicative.

Lauren responded to our inquiry within 24 hours. She walked us through the steps to prepare us for our gorgeous July 2020 wedding at Sayen Gardens. Lauren worked with us to personalize our ceremony and helped to make our wedding day a success! Thank you Lauren!!

Lauren was an absolute pleasure to work with. We met her at a Princeton wedding showcase and were impressed right away. She was warm, professional and incredibly flexible and accommodating of the challenges of 2020! She put together a ceremony that captured the relationship between my husband and me so wonderfully! Lauren was incredibly responsive, and available by e-mail or phone if we wished. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone who would like a customized and meaningful ceremony.

My husband and I found Lauren through a google search. After reading her reviews we decided to schedule a meet with her! She was super down to earth and we had great chemistry. Lauren made us realize how important and detailed or simply our ceremony could be. She brought back the importance of the ceremony as had forgot because of so much focus on the actual reception. We were able to completely customize our ceremony. We had a COVID wedding and Lauren was super flexible with the changes that we had to make. The day of she was punctual and gave a beautiful ceremony.

Lauren was a wonderful officiant to work with. My wife and I had a small wedding but we wanted to make sure that it felt special for our few guests. Lauren helped us with suggestions and recommendations, and welcomed feedback. She was communicative with us the whole way through and responsive whenever we reached out. It was a delight working with her and she was one of the biggest contributors to making our (small) big day magical.

Lauren was so great from our initial email to the day of. She responded quickly to every email and made creating the ceremony a breeze. We had a small backyard wedding (thanks Covid) and the ceremony was the easiest portion. It was heartfelt, beautiful and really encompassed everything we wanted. My mom immediately requested a copy to send to everyone she knows. If you are in the area, pick Lauren!

When we decided to do a small intimate ceremony because COVID-19 postponed our large wedding, we were nervous to find an officiant. When we came across Lauren and set up an initial call we knew instantly she would be a perfect fit for our day. From start to finish Lauren was attentive, helpful and friendly. She guided us through the marriage license process and provided a questionnaire to make the ceremony more personal. She sent us the ceremony in advance in case we wanted to make any changes. We could not believe how nice the ceremony was and how she really wove in personal elements about our relationship. Lauren was there early the day of the wedding and delivered the wedding flawlessly. She was friendly, personable and energetic. We were so incredibly happy with our choice to book Lauren and cannot thank her enough for making our ceremony so special!

Lauren is very attentive and knowledgeable about the ceremony and after ceremony processes. She worked with our requests to have a simple ceremony and dinner blessing. Lauren was a joy to work with and I highly recommend her for your ceremony!

My husband and I wanted ceremony that reflected our relationship. We were excited when we spoke with Lauren and she asked us to look for questionnaires to fill out. Based on the information we provided she was able to give us the ceremony we wanted. Several guests commented on how lovely the ceremony was. The evening could not have gone better. Lauren arrived early and even took care the review everything with us one last time.

Lauren was a great officiant to work with! My husband and I wanted a non religious wedding and she was very flexible and accommodating to anything we requested to have for our ceremony. She really got to know us personally to incorporate that into our ceremony. She did a great job of going over all the details to make us feel comfortable for our big day and was always willing to meet up in person when we wanted. We were very pleased with our ceremony. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Lauren to officiant any wedding ceremony. My (now) husband and I struggled to find an officiant we were excited about - we wanted our ceremony to be personal, but needed help with content and the process. Lauren was the perfect fit. She was extremely helpful with guiding us through the process - she was available for phone calls/to meet to get to know us better, took the time to talk through what we were looking for in our ceremony and absolutely nailed it with the content. Lauren was extremely responsive, punctual and professional throughout the process and during the actual ceremony she was very articulate and well-spoken. We had an extraordinary amount of compliments on our ceremony from our friends and family on both the content - which was uniquely "us" - and Lauren individually as being an excellent officiant. Lauren even provided us with helpful information for obtaining the official marriage license and super helpful tips on name change documents that might be applicable as well. She made the process extremely seamless and we didn't have to worry about a thing! Highly recommended!

Lauren met with us in person to get to know us, gave us a lot of information and examples to help us create our ceremony, and did a great job personalizing the ceremony! We are very happy we chose her as our officiant.

Lauren did an amazing job creating a beautiful and personal ceremony for my husband and I! She got to know us and our story so that the ceremony would be exactly what we wanted and truly unique. It was a magical day, the ceremony that Lauren created for us helped to make it the best day of our lives! I would highly recommend Lauren to all brides and grooms that want a customized, perfect ceremony!

She was amazing!!! She tailored the ceremony perfectly and personalized to the last detail. She was fun to work with and very professional. Thank you Lauren for making a beautiful day even better!

My wife and I were looking for an officiant for our wedding and we selected Lauren because she was local, was well-known to our Township Registrar and when we visited her website, we liked what we saw. When we reached out to her and she responded, we found her to be very easy to work with. She was extremely open to our ideas and made the entire process look very easy. We met her before the actual wedding and she came well prepared with all the various options - themes, vows, length of ceremony and even the script she was going to follow. Nothing could be easier. She answered all our questions and gave us some good ideas too. She is a very nice person too. The actual wedding went as well as we had hoped for. Lauren was there on time, spent as much time as we needed and followed though on all the paperwork to follow. She was a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend her.

Lauren did such a wonderful job creating a beautiful ceremony for my husband and I! She was lovely to work with, very pleasant, and so willing to help out. She listened to all of our wants and needs and gave us a few awesome suggestions, alone with a basic outline of the ceremony that we edited together (through constant messaging).

Everyone loved Lauren and her AMAZING ceremony. She took everything we said to heart, created an emotional and perfect ceremony, and made our day special. Lauren made the entire process seamless and helped us share our love experience with the entire family. I would recommend her to everyone!

Lauren was truly amazing! Myself, being a bride was very stressful and Lauren assured me every step of the way that made the entire “wedding process” easy and painless! She always got back to me or my now husband with urgency! We got married this past Wednesday and she was early, and ready to go! She managed to calm us both down while we were exchanging vows. Lauren is truly amazing! I think we have a connection by her survey to get to know the couple, which was actually fun! You ask your other half things you may have thought you knew or vice versa! We had a blast with that and the entire experience with Lauren! If you have any doubts on deciding an wedding officiant, GO WITH LAUREN!

Lauren was great to work with! She listened to all of our wants and needs and gave us a few awesome suggestions that we ended up using in our wedding. Very pleasant person and very willing to help out and be there for her clients. I strongly suggest this vendor :)

Lauren was absolutely amazing from start to finish! She created the perfect ceremony and we both felt so comfortable with her from day one. Several of my friends got married this summer (5 in all) and Lauren’s ceremony was the best by far! There was very little to change because what she had written was exactly what we had wanted! I would recommend her again and again! Thanks again Lauren for making our day so special!

Lauren did such a great job creating the perfect ceremony for my husband and I!!

We are italian and we are lucky, because we have met a person like Lauren, she was the best Celebrator / Officinat we could ever met. Absolutely recommended! Sorry for my english

Lauren was amazing! We wanted a customized and very unique ceremony and she delivered exactly that! She took our needs and put her own charm on top of it and delivered a beautiful and very meaningful ceremony for us! She was great to work with throughout the entire process. She was very professional, especially on the actual day! Would recommend her to anyone looking for a creative ceremony.

My wife and I married on 9/9/17. We couldn't be happier that we chose Lauren to perform the ceremony. From the first email to Lauren, to the day of the wedding, and even right up until we obtained the marriage certificate, Lauren made the entire process a pleasure. Lauren met with us for a cup of coffee after we first contacted her. She is very easy to talk to, and we immediately felt at ease being ourselves. We were able to get a feel for her character, share some laughs, and discuss what type of service we wanted. Lauren made some recommendations and emailed us options for ceremonies. She guided us through the whole process which we needed as it was our first wedding. Anytime I reached out to Lauren, she was always quick to respond. We really felt like Lauren was giving us her undivided attention, and was happy to help and to be a part of this milestone in our lives. As I said, from the first email we felt very comfortable with Lauren. The ceremony went great- Lauren was relaxed and created a great vibe for us and our guests. Lauren even helped us re-write our vows to give it more of a personal touch. My wife and I definitely recommend Lauren to anyone looking for this type of service. Many of the vendors we have dealt with treated us like a number and it created stress where there didn't need to be. Lauren however, helped to make it a great experience. She didn't add stress but took it away. We felt confident in her suggestions and abilities. Thank you Lauren for helping us through the process, and making our memories of the day so great!

Lauren was great! She was very responsive and crafted a personalized ceremony our guests are still raving about. Additionally, Lauren wrangled our large bridal party and was flexible throughout the process (and even during the wedding weekend) as plans changed. We are so grateful to Lauren...don't hesitate--use her!

If I could give Lauren more stars, I would! She was an absolutely amazing officiant for our wedding. She had written a very personal ceremony which we received to review a few weeks before the wedding. It was personal, thoughtful, and original, and we didn't tweak a single thing (although she offered many times and emphasized that it was our day, our ceremony, but she nailed it first try). We had multiple guests come up to us at the reception and compliment how unique and touching our vows were and how they were so personalized to us (we asked her to write them for us using a traditional format but non-traditional vows as we had a hard time putting our own thoughts together). This was absolutely 100% what we wanted. The length of the ceremony she wrote was literally within 60 seconds of our requested timeline. She really listened to our wants, and her voice carried perfectly through a room of 150 with no microphone without her shouting. My husband was nervous about being able to repeat without messing up, and she broke things up and went slowly so we didn't stumble. We couldn't have gotten better service and a better ceremony had we paid 10x the price (she is one of the most reasonably priced vendors in central NJ). Thank you Lauren for helping to make our day even more personal and special!!!!!

We were so happy with Lauren. Our ceremony was beautiful. You would have thought Lauren had known us for years. She always answered my emails or phone calls very promptly. She would have an answer or she would find the answer for you. We highly recommend Lauren

We absolutely loved working with Lauren as our officiant for our wedding on 6/9/17. She wrote our ceremony and vows flawlessly. She personalized the ceremony and made it so special and meaningful for us and everyone at the wedding. The ceremony went flawlessly and for that we have to thank Lauren. She did an amazing job and I am so happy we found her. I highly recommend Lauren and couldn't imagine using anyone else. Thank you so much Lauren for our amazing ceremony.
