Ceremonies With Lisa

. We had a lot of fun getting to personalise every detail with her. On our wedding day everything went extremely smooth. Our guests all commented how our ceremony felt like it really captured our personalities. Since we did an interfaith ceremony, we had elements of Jewish and Christian tradition and Lisa guided us through both with fantastic knowledge and care. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant for our big day!

s well. She made this day truly unique and special and we had a day that will forever last in our hearts and minds."

nd meaningful with the right amount of humor and playfulness. Several guests commented that it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever attended. We especially loved Lisa's use of the creative process as a bonding experience for us.

ny was one of our favorite parts of the whole day and Lisa made that happen. We couldn’t have picked someone better - truly!

r wedding to stay connected and have some fun. She helped with us writing our vows as well. We even had a few guests comment on how well our officiant did so it was great to hear others enjoyed her as much as me and my wife did. Overall we couldn't be happier having Lisa as our officiant.

a was the perfect opportunity for us to marry correctly without having to worry about the logistics, making the process extremely easy while maintaining our initial goal of having an intimate, personal marriage experience. We especially liked that Lisa reached out to us to have a discussion over the phone since we couldn’t meet in person. She spoke to us as someone getting to know us that genuinely cared about our marriage journey, rather than just a “sales person” selling themselves to us as an officiant. We were happy to see that the questions she asked in the initial conversation over a year prior to our big day came back to light during our ceremony as we reflected on our answers and individual journey to marriage, making it a truly personal experience just for us. We could not be any happier with our decision to have Lisa guide us through one of our most important rite of passages and are so grateful for the moment she was able to perfect for us

knew we’d have to find someone unknown to us. And while we were worried of having a “stranger” play the pivotal role of marrying us, we quickly became fully confident and comfortable with Lisa. After several video calls together, Lisa knew our love story inside and out, picked up on different quirks of our personalities, and earned our complete trust in being our officiant on the big day. Even though they were less familiar to her, Lisa even led several Jewish wedding customs during our ceremony. And when a rain cloud appeared out of nowhere, Lisa was super flexible and smooth with pausing our ceremony for an impromptu happy hour before we shared our vows. All worries about having a stranger standing beside us were wiped away, as Lisa felt more like an old friend. We LOVE Lisa and now will be reaching out to her through all stages of life. We would highly recommend entrusting her with the honors of marrying you on your big day.

sts. She did an amazing job during the ceremony itself - her officiating was perfectly reflective of us as a couple and what we wanted. Our friends and family were complementing her and asking about her all night. Highly recommend!

mony, making it feel truly personal and crafted to your story. One of my favorite things about working with her are all the little activities that really remind you of why you've chosen to get married to begin with. Lisa is an amazing officiant and we'll forever be grateful for the wonderful experience!

d ceremony, and to practice. It was so great to be able to customize everything with her. On the day of the wedding, it was a relief to see her and interact with her during the ceremony. Many of my guests complimented her and loved how connected she was with us on the alter. I would recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a unique ceremony experience (or I am sure she could put together a perfectly traditional ceremony as well). She is friendly and enthusiastic, and the perfect touch to one of the most important days of your life. Thank you, Lisa!

ceremony. The ceremony was one of my favorite parts of our whole wedding weekend, and that's because of Lisa and her beautiful words. Our wedding guests kept coming up to us afterwards raving about how incredible the ceremony was. Lisa sends out fun couples activities to do together leading up to the wedding. Her tools that she provided to help write our own vows were also incredibly helpful. We are so happy to have had her as part of our special day and would recommend her to anyone!

VERYONE at our wedding commented about how beautiful & intentional our ceremony was. This is in major part to Lisa and her expertise in effectively conveying our relationship. We are extremely grateful for her being a part of our journey in marriage ; not only in the months leading up & day of, but for our lifetime <3

really got to know both me and my husband. We had so many guests come up to us after the ceremony saying it was the best wedding ceremony they had been to. They all felt Lisa did such a great job bringing them into our relationship and focusing on the monument of becoming husband and wife. Lisa was extremely responsive during our planning process, which took all of the stress out of the equation. We really enjoyed all of the activities Lisa sent to us, they brought us closer and were really great talking points around what marriage means to us, what we love about each other and how we feel like things will stay the same/change after our marriage. These activities helped us write our custom vows and align on our commitments that we wanted to make together as a couple. If you are looking for an officiant work with Lisa!!! Thank you, Lisa for being apart of our dream wedding team :)

to getting know us and she encouraged us to be mindful of the ceremony portion of our wedding when it was all too easy to be focused on the event logistics and other small things. Overall, we had an extremely meaningful and personalized ceremony and hope to have a continued relationship with Lisa.

cannot thank her enough for her exceptional services. From the very beginning, Lisa exhibited a level of professionalism and warmth that immediately put us at ease. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, learning about our love story, values, and vision for our wedding ceremony. This personal touch made all the difference, as she crafted a ceremony that felt uniquely tailored to us. Lisa's ability to capture the essence of our relationship in her words was nothing short of remarkable. Her eloquent and heartfelt ceremony script left not a dry eye in the house. She managed to strike the perfect balance between sincerity, humor, and spirituality, creating a ceremony that was deeply meaningful to us and our guests. Lisa's attention to detail was evident throughout the entire process. She was incredibly organized, ensuring that every aspect of the ceremony ran smoothly. She collaborated seamlessly with our other vendors, ensuring a harmonious flow to our special day. Her calming presence was a source of comfort amidst the inevitable pre-wedding nerves. What truly sets Lisa apart is her genuine passion for what she does. She didn't just officiate our wedding; she elevated it to a level of beauty and significance that we could have only dreamed of. Her dedication to creating a ceremony that was a true reflection of our love story was evident in every word she spoke. In the end, our wedding ceremony was a magical and emotional experience, thanks in large part to Lisa's talents and dedication. Our guests still rave about how touching and memorable the ceremony was, and we have Lisa to thank for that. Lisa is not just a wedding officiant; she is a true artist of love and celebration. If you are looking for someone who will pour their heart and soul into creating a ceremony that reflects your unique love story, look no further than Lisa. She is a gem in the world of wedding officiants, and we are forever grateful for the incredible gift she gave us on our wedding day!

ngs. She wrote a beautiful ceremony script and truly helped us to express ourselves in the most powerful way possible during our ceremony. Our guests repeatedly commented on how much they loved the ceremony and her as an officiant. She was pleasant, professional and responsive at all times. We highly recommend her services!

s on our ceremony afterwards. She made it such a special moment for us!

me to get to know us personally and wrote a script for our ceremony that was so special to our relationship and life together. Lisa has clearly spent many hours curating materials that guide couples through the different aspects of building on their strong bond and considering all of the little pieces of the relationship that shine in a wedding ceremony, and set the stage to keep the fire ignited in the years to come. Lisa had the perfect script, but also was ready to roll with the many distractions that came with our wedding. The biggest one being able to stay focused while also highlighting all the adorable moments where our dogs were stealing the show (which was exactly what we told her we wanted!) 10/10 would recommend Lisa to anyone! So many of our guests asked us how we found the perfect officiant and if she would be willing to fly across the country for their own weddings!

Lisa to anyone who cares a whole lot about connecting with their partner leading into the wedding & to create a custom ceremony that feels true to who you are as a couple.

perfectly and her personality added a lot of joy as well. Would highly recommend working with her!

ceremony script and her approach to match our personalities and styles. All of our guests raved about how great Lisa was too and several asked us "how did you find her?!". Thank you Lisa!

ally get to know you as a couple and as individuals. She is understanding of multiple perspectives and honors your beliefs. She really dedicated so much time to ensure our ceremony was personalized and highlighted the heart of who we are together. After the ceremony, literally every guest we spoke to told us how beautiful and personalized our ceremony was. Lisa did a phenomenal job in helping make our wedding so special.

r been to" and "The best officiant" were some of the feedback we received. Make sure you book with her ASAP. We love you Lisa!

ent or intimate small/micro wedding, and you would like an officiant who is wonderful at corralling you and/or your small groups/families, who is a naturally charismatic performer (former musician) but also deeply connected to the quiet sacredness of the moment, and will step back and give y'all space and time to enjoy and feel your vows - look no further! Work with LISA! :) LONG ANSWER: Lisa is phenomenal, and has earned all her 5-star reviews! We ended up being lucky enough to get Lisa as our officiant at the actual event (Ceremonies with Lisa is a small business run by Lisa and made up of her and a group of wonderful officiants with whom she works closely). My husband and I are from Colorado but were living out-of-state prior to our wedding, and knew we wanted to do an elopement/micro-wedding back home in the mountains, which led us to Lisa. Lisa spent a lot of time getting to know us in the initial call and shared her amazing backstory, too. We immediately felt we could trust Lisa in that she provided high value in her expertise, character/warmth, and well-run small business at an affordable price compared to many other officiants elopements. After we booked her, she helped us decide on a location and time, and our ceremony fell into place. In the year before the ceremony, we received outreach emails with thoughtful ideas for us to prepare for our upcoming nuptials, and her wedding questionnaire was honestly such a lovely process itself that brought us closer together over many meaningful dates answering those questions. She shared tons of resources online and guidance during the year to help us get our venue booked with instructions to find it in the mountains for us/guests, marriage license organized, vendors squared away. We decided to get our own wedding photographer and found Dylan Crossley (who is amazing and we recommend highly, they know each other well from working prior weddings together though Dylan is not officially connected to Ceremonies with Lisa) since we prefer to have one individual photographer whose style/portfolio we love specifically vs a collective/group of photographers. Lisa was super flexible with this process of us finding the right photographer, and had many other recommended vendors! :) (S/o to wise artistry + Dawn for hair/makeup; birch and bramble for flowers). When it came time for the actual ceremony, Lisa organized the morning in such a seamless way that kept us calm and excited; she made sure the guests were positioned in the Sunrise Amphitheater for pictures, got everyone hyped up, coordinated the groom's + bride's entrance beautifully. During the ceremony, she did such a lovely job with our introduction and readings, and also had us pause multiple times to reflect on specific memories in our relationship that really had us tearing up and connecting deeply to the emotions of the day. She also stepped back when we read our personal vows to give us space to enjoy the moment and each other. During the ring exchange and pronouncement, she helped us feel the weight and gravity but also the lightness and joy of the moment. She has fun traditions of taking selfies with the bride+groom and made the signing of our marriage certificate another memorable moment. Such a special day, such a special officiant. THANK YOU LISA!

rking together. Lisa was such a great advocate and guide during the pre-wedding process, taking the time to invest in getting to know us and our love story, and giving us the exercises to prepare and make meaning out of our ceremony and the entire wedding prep experience. The most common comment throughout the wedding night was - "that was the best ceremony I've ever seen," which is more validation to the end result, in addition to the wonderful prep experience. We would highly highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a wedding officiant and we hope to stay in touch with her over the years ahead.

able to give so many recommendations for us destination wedding seekers! Don't think twice, just book her, you won't be disappointed.

re exploitative and that they seem to have become parties for the guests, which takes away from the true essence of the occasion. Thinking about what we wanted to feel on that day and in those moments was our guide in making decisions - 'will this decision cause us to feel that way, or not?' We knew we wanted an intimate experience where we could fully honor the commitment we were making and to focus on our love for one another. We also wanted to go somewhere we'd never been, and the bride wanted pinterest-worthy mountainside elopement pictures. We settled on Boulder and followed a Pinterest trail to Sharee, which led us to Ceremonies with Lisa. Lisa confirmed she works with Sharee and shared more about all the things CWL offers. As much as we wanted that super intimate experience, the idea of randomly stepping off to the side to exchange vows mid-photography session felt extremely awkward. The structure and support of having Lisa there during our ceremony is what made it feel like an actual ceremony. She helped ground us to the moment and guided us through the ceremony, which flowed perfectly and was so comfortable and specific to us as individuals and a couple. She did step away while we exchanged personal statements which gave us an even deeper element to that intimacy and also allowed for some beautiful photos. Aside from officiating, Lisa also was extremely helpful and informative during the entire engagement and wedding-planning process; being from out of state, her recommendations for other vendors and things to do during our trip was invaluable. She checked in with us periodically to see if there was anything we needed and had a lot of helpful information not only about the actual elopement but in preparing to create our own ceremony and write our own vows. Lisa has such a bright, loving energy and really makes you feel she is genuinely excited for you and wants to be there for you in any way she can. That excitement and encouragement has meant so much to us! If you're on the fence about working with CLW (and if you've read this far to the end of the review) we could not recommend her more. You will 100% not be disappointed. Our elopement was incredible and everything we hoped for, and there is no doubt in our minds this would not have been the case if we had chosen not to work with Lisa.

ot only our wedding, but the start of our marriage. We had so much fun on calls with Lisa, and writing and working on our ceremony felt so natural and easy. When it came to the day of the wedding, we were both most excited for the ceremony, and to say the vows that we had carefully crafted. What I loved most about the process was how, through Lisa's questions and guidance, everything came from us, from our story and our love, and will be there to guide us for years to come. We're so grateful for Lisa and would recommend her to everyone!

annot thank her enough!!

s everyone at our wedding was asking how long we have known her and that is a saying something about how personable she is!! And she is very active even after the wedding which is amazing most are just the wedding and then done she cares even after which indicates how great of a person she really is thank you again Lisa!

as a couple. Dozens of our ~110 guests told us it was hands down the MOST beautiful ceremony they'd ever attended. Nearly everyone asked about Lisa and how we met/how she knew us so well. We could not speak more highly of Lisa - her emotional intelligence, attention to detail, and overall professionalism - and helping us craft a ceremony TOGETHER to share the most powerful messages in creating a transformative experience for everyone. If you have any doubt in your mind, BOOK LISA. I promise this is one of the very best wedding decisions you can make.

onths before the wedding. She helped us define our core commitments to each other and write perfect, meaningful vows that we'll revisit each year on our anniversary. Lisa spent so much valuable time with us to ensure our ceremony was meaningful, warm, joyful, and full of love, everything we wanted it to be and more! We highly recommend Lisa and can't thank her enough!

he made us feel like the only couple she was working with. The ceremony was better than I could have ever imagined honestly. It’s a bit nerve wracking when you’re out of state and don’t get to meet the person officiating your marriage but Lisa really surpassed our expectations and got to know us so well via phone and text. If you don’t chose her for your Boulder/Estes ceremony I truly believe you are missing out. Thank you for everything!

mony. Working with Lisa was stress-free and enjoyable. She is incredibly organized, so really all you have to do is follow her outline (whatever it may be, from scheduling your license to writing your vows to picking out readings). She is also just a joy of a person to work with and is so accommodating. Whatever ceremony you want, Lisa will make it happen!

nd her team are 100% there to make this experience perfect. I cannot recommend her enough. Most importantly our ceremony was perfectly catered to our love and love story. It was perfect. Plus a lot of our guests commented on how great of a job Lisa did, which we loved hearing. You should absolutely reach out to Lisa! ❤️

e the day what we wanted. A heartwarming LOVE FEST!

as that she gave us a vow kit and guided us through writing our vows together and individually. During the ceremony itself, Lisa was spectacular. She had us all pause and take in the important moments while encouraging us to make the ceremony our own. Everyone that we’ve talked to after our wedding said the ceremony was the most memorable part for them, and that Lisa was a very large part of that.

also helped us to create our vows which was such a special part of our day.

e a unique ceremony that represented us. We enjoyed meeting with her several times over zoom beforehand, where we got to know each other, and it helped add a personal touch to the ceremony. During our outdoor wedding ceremony, it poured rain, but Lisa continued with a smile and was a very calming force. Despite the rain, she didn’t rush anything and allowed us to truly appreciate every moment. We heard from many people that our ceremony was the best they'd ever been to, and I whole-heartedly agree! As one of our guests said afterwards, "I felt like I just had therapy!". Thanks Lisa!

s of meeting her, to after the ceremony- she provides a supportive and incredibly grounding experience. She was exactly the guidance that we were looking for, both before and after marriage. She checks in throughout the entire process and made us feel so calm and confident during the ceremony. Truly, such a wonderful person and you know you are in good hands with her leading the way to your future!

craziness of the day tried to stress us out. She was truly wonderful to work with and all of our guests loved the ceremony she put on. She made the ceremony so personal that we couldn’t have asked for anything better!

ally got to know us. She really built in incredibly thoughtful and intentional process that also allowed us to reconnect with the why of why we had decided to get married and have a wedding. Lisa have us great advice, that really help ground us, and it helped give us the perspective to stay positive, focused, and to really enjoy our day. We were so happy with how our ceremony turned out. Our guests found it to be quite moving, and assumed Lisa was old friend based on how she described us. It was a wonderful process, and Lisa really makes you feel like she sees you and is taking in all that you share with her. She shows her couples a lot of care, is incredibly professional, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.
