We cannot say enough wonderful things about Andrea and Lauren! Lauren connected us with Andrea and followed up with us throughout the process to make sure everything came together. Andrea had very little time to work with, but she went above and beyond to make our ceremony special and personal. She made sure it truly reflected us and our love story, rather than feeling like a generic ceremony. Our daughter was due with her first baby around the time of our wedding, and there was a very real possibility she could go into labor on our ceremony day. We wanted to keep our date because it was special to us, and Andrea was so flexible and understanding. She even offered to meet us at the hospital for a quick ceremony if our grandson decided to make his arrival that day! That level of kindness and willingness to go above and beyond meant so much to us. Luckily, little Oliver decided to wait another two days! We are incredibly grateful to Andrea and Lauren for their thoughtfulness, flexibility, and care in helping us celebrate such a special moment in our lives. They made the process so much easier and helped make our day meaningful in a way we will always remember. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for people who genuinely care about making their wedding special!

Highlighted review.
I am SO GLAD that Lauren married us!!! She is very professional, yet personable. We decided to go with Lauren only about a month before our wedding (May 17th, 2026). I was very ner...
vous that the ceremony wouldn't feel as personal as I wanted it to since we had waited so long to find an officiant, but Lauren truly exeeded our expectations. The way she talked about us and our love story made it feel like she had known us for years. So many of our guests raved about how personal and special our ceremony felt, and nearly everyone was in tears. She is very committed to giving her couples the best ceremonies no matter what is going on. We got married infront of a fountain on a windy day. Lauren's back of her dress was drenched in water because the wind kept blowing her skirt into the fountain. NOBODY had a clue Lauren was fighting for her life until my bridesmaids talked to her during cocktail hour/post ceremony pictures. If my bridesmaids didn't tell me, I would have never known and I was standing right next to her! Anyways, I say all this because Lauren made our ceremony feel like 'ours'. It was perfect. If you want someone who knows when to step out of the way for pictures, pays attention to all the small details, has a nice soothing voice, is reliable, and puts so much effort into telling your story perfectly, then I would 100000% have Lauren marry you. She's the best!!

rm our ceremony, Lauren informed us that we would actually be working with someone named Andrea- which we were mostly fine with until she did not show up to our meeting... We then had to pick another associate named Claire. Claire was very kind and pleasant to be around at our wedding. We were, however, very disappointed in the script "writing" from her. It very much appeared to have been written by an AI as phrases were repeated 7x, and things we specifically said we did NOT want .. was included in the script. Disappointingly, I had to write our entire wedding ceremony script MYSELF at the last minute. Stressful, to say the least. I would not recommend unfortunately this company to others.

find someone who would help make our ceremony feel personal and meaningful and Lauren exceeded every expectation! From our very first meeting, she made us feel completely at ease and reassured us that our ceremony would reflect who we are, not feel generic. The questionnaires she provided were actually fun to complete together and made it so much easier for us to express our feelings, especially since neither of us considers ourselves strong writers. Throughout the entire process, Lauren was communicative, supportive, and always available, even offering additional Zoom meetings whenever we needed them. By the time the big day arrived, we felt confident and excited! The ceremony script she created was beautiful and truly captured us as a couple. On the wedding day itself, despite the windy, chaotically wonderful conditions, Lauren was a calm, steady presence that helped everything flow We highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for an officiant who will go above and beyond to create a heartfelt, personalized ceremony.
