Let's Elope New Orleans

akes your day as magical as possible.

information we needed to make decisions about venues and other things when we were a bit indecisive. She worked with both me and my husband's schedules to plan zoom meetings to answer any questions we had. She also had many suggestions for places to stay, restaurants, makeup artists, etc to make our day special. And her words during the ceremony were so eloquent and touching! It made for a wonderful ceremony! My husband and I are extremely grateful to have found her to help plan and officiate our elopement in New Orleans! If you are looking to plan a ceremony in New Orleans, please send her a message you won't regret it! Thanks again, Ranna!!!

e call, it was easy to tell she truly loves what she does, cares about her couples, and is just a warm, kindhearted person. She took the time to get to know us and our story, answered all of our questions, and made sure we were involved in the process of creating our ceremony script. She makes very personalized scripts and is always open to making revisions. Although she unfortunately caught COVID the week of our ceremony, Ranna didn't want to put us at risk of getting sick and called us immediately to let us know that she found a replacement who was her mentor and that we would be in good hands. Even though she couldn't officiate our ceremony, she made everything easy - from writing a beautiful ceremony script to providing important information about applying for a marriage license and writing vows. We loved working with her and would do it again if we could!

us. The day of our wedding she was such a calm and loving presence - she made us and our ceremony feel so special. It was truly a magical day that we will remember forever. We are so glad to have had Ranna as part of it as our officiant and highly recommend her to anyone considering getting married in New Orleans!

cultural elements into our ceremony and Ranna took the time to research and understand what we were looking for. She helped us with the license as well which was so helpful given we live abroad. She was very responsive, had multiple meetings and drafts of the script, and we couldn’t have been happier. I would choose her a million times over.

o do her vow renewal (high praise indeed!). If you choose Ranna, I can confidently say you're in the very best, most loving hands and your day will go off without a hitch and with lots of special memories.

. We could not have asked for someone better to join us together forever. If you are planning a wedding or elopement in New Orleans I implore you to hire Ranna. She made every part of this process as easy as your big day should be! Handled the licensing, laughed with us, waited on my slow self without complaint. Truly, truly a godsend. Thank you SO much Ranna for everything❤️

beautiful script and perfect officiating - she took so much care to tell our story and celebrate us. She is a truly lovely person and the best officiant you can find! I cannot thank Ranna enough for a perfect ceremony!

he most beautiful ceremony I have ever heard, and not only because it was my own. She captured our relationship and love perfectly!

t her officiating! Book her now!

knew right away New Orleans would be the destination (we live in Tampa, but come to NOLA often) and found a photographer immediately. Ranna and I had been communicating briefly, and during that time I didn't realize how important enjoying and vibing with your officiant would be. As I was perusing the photos of our photographer, I kept seeing photos of Ranna and just knew she would be the perfect fit for us, so I inquired as to who she was, and it was Ranna- the same woman I had chatted with previously, so I KNEW it was meant to be! She communicates quickly and professionally. Prior to the wedding she reached out and we were able to FaceTime with her so we could get to know each other better so she could write a speech just for us. She tailored it specifically to my husband and I. During the wedding, as she spoke, it felt so perfect. She spoke about growth and patience, two incredibly important things for my husband and I. Her vibe was so incredibly delightful and warm. It felt as if we had known each other our whole lives. My family and friends loved her too. She also made the license details so simple and easy for us. She sends your the forms and prep work for getting the license, and takes care of everything so all you need to do is sign and you can go be in the moment! I like to think that Ranna enjoyed marrying my husband and I more than anyone else she has married. But the thing is that every single person that hires her will likely walk away with that feeling, and that is what truly makes Ranna so special.

y changing what we wanted to do. Ranna was so patient and kind. She offered many suggestions and did everything in her power to work with us on finding a date that matched up with the venue and photographer. She wrote us a beautiful, personalized ceremony script. We had guests coming up to us all night complimenting how much they loved her and how touching the ceremony was! It was easy from start to finish. If you want someone who truly cares about people and LOVE, consider getting in touch with Ranna at Let’s Elope New Orleans!

emony so relaxing and so easy going. I was so stressed and anxious because I was running late and if everyone knows how I HATE being late. When I showed up she hugged me and told me everything is okay which immediately put a smile on my face. That did more than she probably know it did. We are so happy with our decision of picking Ranna to be part of such a big day in our life. She was so professional but at the same time so so warm and made you feel like you knew her for years.

s so easy and stress free. She helped with arrangements for the venue, photographer and even filed the license for us! The words she chose for our ceremony will be cherished for the rest of our lives! So honored she shared such a gift with us.

gable; we were lucky to have found her.

an officiant!!

derful. We loved how she incorporated our chosen readings into the ceremony script. I highly recommend booking Ranna for your ceremony!

ol tv shows “Married at First Sight”! She married one of the season 11 New Orleans couples and it made us even more pumped for our NOLA wedding. We started planning well over a year in advance and she was supportive every step of the way for our not-so-traditional Halloween wedding. She had no issues meeting up with this out-of-town Bride when we were local and she came well dressed for the part on the big day. One of the our groomsmen raved at how well she even did with calming everyone down before the ceremony — that can be a challenging task to do! She had amazing artwork on her arms and she was able to refer me to one the tattoo artists in New Orleans who did the work. For someone planning a wedding from the opposite end of the country, she made it easy to connect with her and other local talent she recommended. She was attentive and rooted us on, even from afar. I would recommend her for anyone looking for an officiant.

o LIVEstream the ceremony for our friends and family to watch from around the world. After one has imagined a wedding day filled with friends and families and all the support that comes with those lifelong relationships, it's quite the challenge to then be faced with a day where all of those loved ones are absent - but then there was Ranna, our officiant. As both an officiant and a human being, Ranna radiates pure love and support, all the while holding a space that is elegant, utterly authentic, and rich with familiarity. Though we didn't have the pleasure to meet Ranna in person ahead of our ceremony, she instantly felt like someone we had known our whole lives, and walking down the aisle with all the nerves and emotions that come with such a momentous occasion, seeing her standing there, in all her loving awareness, put us instantly at ease. Some people are born to officiate and hold space for momentous occasions and Ranna is absolutely one of those people. We truly cannot recommend her strongly enough and also cannot thank her deeply enough. Our wedding day was perfect times a billion and this is very much thanks to Ranna and the tender warmth and brilliance she brought to our ceremony and vows. Trust me, if you're reading this, you've found your officiant in Ranna and need look no further - she is perfect.

us was beautiful! You won't regret your time with Ranna!

sent it to us beforehand, and it really helped calm anxieties. She did everything in a timely manner. So on the day of, she was just great. As a bride, I was so nervous!!! But Ranna reassured me and was a calming energy for me and my husband. The ceremony was beautiful, unique, heartfelt, and lovely. Ranna is a lovely person. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the ceremony was. For most of our guests, they are used to a religious ceremony, and we aren’t a religious couple. So Ranna made a ceremony that was honest and that resonated with everyone. Can’t recommend her enough!! She is special.

y cares about every couple she works with, and it shows. Our wedding ceremony was truly magical. Ranna deserves more than 5 stars!! :)

y the time we met in person, despite having only spoken live a couple of times. She created a beautiful and personal ceremony for us that we will cherish forever. She was also super considerate in wanting to make sure she pronounced any names we wanted mentioned correctly; and was always super responsive to email throughout the process. In addition, we wanted a specific Brazilian saint mentioned and she did a bunch of her own research to help incorporate the saint into our ceremony. It was beautiful! I’d recommend her to everyone, she’s truly a gem!

as throughout the planning process. I was blown away by how perfectly us the script she wrote was. I would recommend Let's Elope New Orleans to anyone who is looking for a patient, joyful and romantic officiant.

pecial from restaurants recommendations, photographers, etc. When we did a zoom meeting with her, she informed us that this was a safe space for us, which was so comforting to hear. She genuinely has a kind and loving soul. My husband wrote the majority of the script for Ranna making it so personal for our intimate elopement we had. It was heartwarming for Ranna to say the words he wrote, with her soft spoken voice, it was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant for our wedding day! After we had our ceremony Ranna had the script for us which we were able to keep, which is now framed to remember our special day. We can't thank her enough!

Her energy is on point. She truly exudes love and light and made us feel like we'd known her 100 years and were her favorite client. She helped with a ton of other small details for our elopement as well, like restaurant, photographer and salon referrals and of course sorting out paperwork and venues. Nothing was left to chance or fell through the cracks. Our elopement was a dream.

phone call to calm a stressed bride. She answered questions, assisted with our permit for the tree of life and so much more. She created the most perfect vows for us. Ranna helped make our day extra special. We absolutely recommend Ranna as an officiant. She is a one of a kind person. You will not regret hiring Ranna to officiate.

ceremony that was beautiful and personal to us. She even gave us a copy of the script to keep. I cannot recommend her enough!

enuine soul. She set up a zoom conference to get to know us and our family before writing the script. She included things that we wouldn’t have thought of, and the script was so beautiful and so personal to us. She quickly became such an important part in our day and the memories to follow.

ut the spot for our ceremony to give us reassurance, she helped us with ideas for hotels, and when we had a last minute delay she was very patient! Highly recommend for your wedding!

tside to inside due to the weather. Ranna's accent and calming personality was a hit with our guests and made our ceremony so much more romantic. We highly recommend Ranna! You will not be disappointed!

us. She organized venues, florists, bakers and so much more. She dealt with Covid issues. Made countless calls and efforts to make our day smooth. She took my and my wife’s thoughts and concerns into approach. She wrote the most beautiful nuptials. I’m fairly OCD. The day of our wedding I was completely confident. It was flawless as was Ranna and her efforts. I can’t thank Ranna enough. For her amazing personality to her superb professionalism. If you want a completely professional, yet carefree wedding hire Let’s Elope New Orleans.

r personal vows. Ranna was open to incorporating whatever we wanted/needed into our wedding ceremony. We wanted to jump the broom, Ranna briefly explained the meaning and even gifted us the broom and decorated it with our wedding colors! Our license was signed and filed quickly, Ranna has updated us on when we should receive it in the mail. If you’re unsure, don’t be! BOOK LETS ELOPE NOW! Ranna was awesome, informative and so sweet!

unforgettable and beautiful day!

. The script that she wrote for our ceremony was perfect and flawlessly incorporated aspects that we’d requested be included. Her voice and presence are ethereal and she helped transform our simple ceremony into a spiritual celebration of our love. You couldn’t ask for a better officiant and we would HIGHLY recommend her services to anyone looking to tie the knot!

make it anything else than “Our Perfect”. Thanks Ranna for making it an experience neither of us will ever forget!

nce was calming and warm. Ranna was consistently in touch with us, arrived early just to check in, and since we cane in from out of town, her assistance in filing our license was invaluable.

ll us it was the most beautiful ceremony they've ever attended. She went out of her way to add personal touches that made it unique to us and we wouldn't have dreamed of having anyone else standing up there with us!

cative every step of the way. We opted for the photographer package, and it could not have been easier or less stressful. Our wedding day was all we ever hoped it could be, and we would certainly use Let’s Elope New Orleans again 100 times over!

to plan, and Ranna did everything in such a timely fashion! She was thoughtful, gentle, and made us feel so at ease. She prepared a beautiful and meaningful ceremony script for us, incorporating the songs we mentioned we loved, all within plenty of time to review before the day of. You can feel the love radiating from her, as well as her lovely husband Greg who acted as our 2nd witness. All in all, don't hesitate to book Ranna. Working with her made our perfect day even better, and solidified that eloping was the best decision we've ever made! <3

Ranna!!

won't regret having her on your special day.

rally some of my online guests most commented about wedding feature!), kind, spiritual, and down to Earth. We had to downsize our wedding due to Covid and had an online ceremony and a tiny wedding with just close family and Ranna was so understanding, worked so hard with us to get everything just right, hand wrote the wedding script and edited it based on the ever changing details of our wedding, and truly gave us the most beautiful and heart felt ceremony. Everyone cried! In no small part that was due to Ranna who is an angel on Earth! We truly love her and consider her a friend now. She took care of all the details after the wedding, filing our certificate for us and making sure we received our marriage certificates afterward. She even bought us Christmas present this year! She goes above and beyond for all of her couples, has an awesome list of vendors to recommend, and made our wedding ceremony so special. Ranna really believes in love and has the most beautiful spirit. I really love her and are so glad we chose her for our officiant.

uly made us feel at ease and completely cared for. Eternally thankful to have found her and that she was the one who officiated our marriage ceremony.

y. I was so happy with the vows she wrote for us and the photographer she had for us and how she made everything feel easy and I never had to stress about anything because she just takes care of it all and always makes sure your knowing each step and not stressed. Eloping was so much easier because we had her.

egan to feel discouraged in finding the best fit until we found Ranna. From the initial contact, she was so kind and welcoming and we instantly knew we finally found the perfect fit! Ranna radiates peace, kindness and is truly a light and those were all characteristics we knew we wanted shared throughout our ceremony. She also gave such great recommendations on vendors. I reached out two days before my wedding for last minute recommendations and she went above and beyond to help me find the perfect bouquet on short notice. My only wish is that we would have found her sooner to help reduce the stress of the planning process. If you are looking for an officiant that will make your ceremony truly about you as a couple whether traditional or non-traditional, I cannot recommend Ranna enough! We are so grateful to look back on our wedding day and remember having such a kind and caring person lead our ceremony.

planning was done remotely and in about 3 weeks. My fiance and i were very stressed and on the verge of yet again cancelling wedding plans, but it quickly turned around when we found Ranna through our photographer (Love is Rad Photography-also highly recommended). Ranna was very flexible, helpful, and professional. From the get go she reminded us that this day was about us, which shifted our focus from checking boxes to enjoying the moment. She took into consideration what we wanted for our ceremony while going above and beyond helping us with location, permits, licenses, witnesses. As for the vows, they were absolutely beautiful!! We had a phone conversation beforehand on what we preferred and how we would like them personalized and were sent a draft several days before the ceremony. We didn't give her much direction as we don't have many preferences, favorite quotes, etc., which I know can be challenging. Even without ever meeting us and what little we gave her to work with she wrote amazing, beautiful vows that sounded made for us. She has a calming presence and wonderful spirit that truly made our ceremony. If we do have a second ceremony with our friends and family, I will absolutely be calling her!

preciate everything she did. Thanks for giving us these wonderful memories on our magical day!
