Leah was an excellent officiant. She was easy to work with, responsive, communicative, and embodied all attributes we wanted in an officiant. She made sure to understand how we wanted the ceremony to proceed, and she delivered. I could not recommend her more highly.

I recently had the pleasure of Leah V at my wedding where her services absolutely wowed the crowd. From the moment she took the microphone, she had everyone's attention with her engaging storytelling and charming wit. She seamlessly weaved together anecdotes and heartfelt sentiments, leaving me, the groom. and our guests feeling touched and uplifted. What I appreciated most about her, was her ability to strike a perfect balance between poetic and emotional, creating a speech that was both entertaining and deeply meaningful. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with the vendor's professionalism, talent, and ability to deliver a truly unforgettable wedding speech.

Leah V is by far one of the best professional speakers I've ever met. Not only did she write a beautiful speech for my wife and I, but she made sure to ask before reviewing. She kept the ceremony moving and conducted herself with such grace. I highly reccommend using Leah V as your officiant.

Best and easiest decision of my wedding planning was finding and hiring LeahV. I met Leah in college but didn’t learn about her talent and qualifications until meeting her to discuss wedding details. She was professional from the start but was also so friendly- it felt like we knew her for years! She wasn’t just interested in getting to know us for wedding purposes, but more so on a friendship level. We felt so comfortable with her. I wish we could get married again with LeahV officiating us!

Leah has a way with words! Her words were so thoughtful and personal to the bride and groom. They we’re so happy to have her be part of their special day!!! The entire room was moved by what she was saying. 10/10 hire Leah if you’re looking for someone professional to eloquently bring all the feels to your wedding ceremony.
