Let's Elope New Orleans

peak to it. She is the best guide you could have, leading you through the many emotions and joys of that day. She works to get to know you as a couple and includes you in the script writing in a way that isn’t overwhelming or cheesy. She’s incredibly flexible and works to make everything just as you’d like it. Our families where pretty disappointed we chose not to have a church wedding, they didn’t quite understand how a “random person” marrying us could be meaningful - all of that went out the window the second they met Ranna at the rehearsal. And then after our very beautiful ceremony, it was all they could talk about. How amazing the ceremony was, how true to us it was, how beautiful and love filled. She is everything and we are forever thankful!

here for Ranna. She was amazing. A simple phrase that could never possibly fully capture the impact of her involvement in this milestone in my husband's and my life together. Ranna was the most welcoming, comforting and nurturing soul from the first moment we got on our vid call to meet for the first time. She took time to try to get a feel for us and get to know us in, as much as could be possible given the time involved. And she was successful I think, also in showing us who she is as a person, as a human and as a kind soul. Probably most importantly to me, being the coordinator in the relationship, was Ranna's seemingly near infinite patience for answering questions and soothing concerns, of which, I had many. LOTS of questions, lol. But I care about this big change in our lives, and Ranna not only recognized that, but fully supported and encouraged it, making me feel totally at home with her. I told her right off that we were on a very very tight budget and any savings we could manage would really be helpful and thanks to her, we ended up choosing the Tree of Life in Audubon, in New Orleans, LA (of course, since that is where Ranna is located.. but I mention it because we are not from there, we live in California currently, so we travelled from out of state, which contributed to my paranoia and questions trying to make sure every necessary detail, process, document, was obtained and properly presented since our trip was for a short 5days, )really 4 leaving early that Thursday) and only arriving the day before the wedding which was a Sunday. So we had to get our license first thing Monday morning before getting ready for the wedding later that afternoon. Anyway, Ranna helped answer all those questions, with her provided documents and her direct communication via email or via vid call. The point is she was there for us and never once was I REALLY worried once we were in her hands...I felt safe. And because I did, the Hubbie to be did too.. he knows how I am and if I'm good, it's because all is IS INDEED GOOD. The ceremony she preformed was created based on her lovely framework of eloquent words and phrasing, acknowledging of our blend of agnostic and religious/spiritual beliefs, with splashes of our own individual and personal details to really make this ceremony ours, and ours alone. Anyway, I really could go on, in case you couldn't tell that by now (yeah right, lol). But bottomline... RANNA... THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS. YOU WILL BE A KEYSTONE TO THE MEMORY OF THAT MOST SPECIAL AND PRICELESS MILESTONE IN OUR LIVES. We highly recommend Let's Elope New Orleans! Whether you're a LA native/local, or coming from anywhere else... Ranna will take excellent care of you all around!

thing short of an absolute dream!

a true friend, not just an officiant, celebrating your love. So thankful for her and all her help!

e a ring out of the grass after my husband dropped and temporarily lost the wedding ring. She kept cool, calmed us down and delivered the perfect ceremony. I couldn’t think of a better person to help us get married. Thank you Ranna!

ing marriage with someone unknown but right away we could tell we liked Ranna and it would be a pleasure to work with her. We are located fours away by plane which made it challenging to know what we wanted and she helped us all along our marriage planning and New Orleans journey. All of her support and help was truly appreciated. If you are looking for an welcoming ally to officiate your marriage, then I encourage you to reach out to her for yourself and best wishes for your own future!

nce of 2 family members who passed recently. She works with you on how you would like your wedding officiated. We wanted to keep the whole thing short and sweet because the ceremony was outdoors, downtown New Orleans at 5PM in the middle of summer. She is a genuine gem of an officiant and person with a slight British accent, which I (the bride) focused so hard on trying to repeat after Ranna that I might’ve taken on her accent too. Was funny to say the least. If we were to get again, Ranna is the one!

in front of everyone. One of the best moments and decisions of our lives! Thank you, Ranna!

mony. She is warm, professional and a pleasure to work with. She was really easy to talk to and open up to, even on our first meeting. She was a great communicator throughout the wedding planning process. She made our ceremony so special. We feel so fortunate that she officiated our wedding and that we will have wonderful memories for the rest of our lives!

er apart, she was able to help us with things we didn't even think about to make our wedding even more special. I would recommend her to any of my family or friends in a heartbeat!

er to anyone looking to complete their perfect day.

xed and confident we made the right choice for our destination wedding in NOLA. We received so many compliments regarding our vows and her delivery. We we highly recommend Let's Elope New Orleans. Ranna, thank you for being part of our special Day! Cheers, Nick & Sara

elt true to both of us as a couple. We knew we wanted something beautiful but non-religious, and after some thought...we had also decided we didn't want a friend or family member to have to worry about running our entire ceremony. After seeing some heartfelt videos on Instagram, we just fell in love with Ranna's energy and earnestness. Her peaceful voice. I remember telling my fiancé that if our first zoom conversation went well, I didn't even want to consider anyone else. Well - our first conversation was wonderful. Ranna was just so easy to talk to and non-judgmental of our entire love story. She was so accommodating of the traditions we wanted to include in the ceremony and just so respectful while also being very reassuring and knowledgeable. Our following Zoom calls were just as reassuring, and when we received the first draft of our ceremony script we just felt so confident that we were working with the perfect person. Fast forward to March of this year, and despite the madness and nerves of the wedding week (truly - my hands were shaking during the rehearsal), Ranna kept us calm and focused during our rehearsal. Our wedding ceremony ended up being the same. Somehow Ranna helped drown out the stress and kept us focused on the moment. It was magic. It was such a sigh of relief to make it to the altar and to have Ranna guiding us in such an intimate moment. I was also someone whose family was used to the standard Catholic ceremony, and now they are full converts. My mom told me it was the most beautiful ceremony she had ever witnessed. All our guests said they couldn't keep their eyes dry. We got very lucky because it really feels like Ranna, with her grace, composure, and articulateness, was truly meant to do what she does, and we are just so blessed that we had the opportunity to work with her. Ranna - thank you for making the most important moment in our relationship as beautiful as it was. It was just unparalleled.

ional during our ceremony. The script she put together was just absolutely amazing and she even gave us a beautiful printout keepsake of it to have. A thousand times yes to have her part of our day! Thank you Ranna ❤️

er personal script was perfect for our intimate ceremony. We sincerely thank you for celebrating our joy and for being a part of our special day. I highly recommend Ranna!!

a ceremony that felt so true to us and our story, and made us feel so seen and held throughout the entire process, while also being informative and organized! She helped calm our nerves before we walked down the aisle and delivered such a beautiful ceremony for us. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house and people sang her praises to us all night. Thank you Ranna!

m my florist so I reached out. I knew from the moment I met her on zoom that she was the officiant for us. Ranna wrote a beautiful ceremony script for us after meeting with us and finding out our preferences and vibes, and it was so personal and touching. I can’t tell you how many people in our wedding party came up to tell me how much they loved her after our rehearsal, and how many of our guests asked about her after the ceremony itself. One thing I really appreciated was that Ranna is really in tune to others’ emotions and feelings, and while we were being rushed around pre-ceremony she was mentally checking in with us and was such a calming presence the whole time. Truly one of the best people to have on your side on your wedding day!

words and delivery of them made the event a memorable one. I highly recommend her, she is amazing!!!

the time to get to know my husband and I and made sure our ceremony represented us in all the best ways! So many of our guests commented on how amazing the ceremony was. I will forever be grateful for her and her words. She will forever hold a special place in my heart!

a has such a calming energy, which you need on your wedding day! Many of our guests raved about the ceremony and that’s all due to Ranna. On top of the quality of her work, she is very responsive and organized. Recommend looking no further for your wedding day officiant!
