Lauren did an amazing job at our ceremony. All the guests were stunned by how personalized our ceremony was written that it prompted them to ask us whether or not we had written it ourselves. —- FYI it was allllll Lauren’s doing. Lauren used a ...
very detailed couples profile and multiple FaceTime sessions in order to get to know us very well. We loved how she incorporated small detailed things about us into the ceremony which made it so unique and lovable. We would recommend her to anyone we know. Moreover she stays in touch with you throughout and is so friendly - you might just become friends like we did!!! :)
Lauren was amazing. My original officiant backed out with less then a few weeks of my ceremony. Lauren was very accommodating to what we needed and asked for in our ceremony. The day of she text me to see how I was doing. It started raining non...
stop for an outside wedding. We ended up catching a little break in the rain and she completed the ceremony quickly as the rain started to come down more and improvised to complete the ceremony. If I had to hire someone again, I would recommend Lauren in a heart beat!
Lauren was an amazing wedding officiant. She went above and beyond in taking the time to get to know my husband and I individually and as a couple. She understood exactly what we were looking for in our ceremony and executed it perfectly. Her s...
weet personality made her a pleasure to work with throughout the process. I would recommend her without a doubt! Thanks for everything! Love, Jessica and Greg
Any questions?
We walked away from our initial consultation with Kevin knowing that he was the only person we wanted to perform our ceremony. He wasn't just warm and funny, but also very genuine, and we knew he sincerely wanted to get to know who we were as a...
couple in order to give us the most authentic ceremony possible. He was completely fine with our wishes for nothing religious, and worked with us to customize the ceremony to exactly how we envisioned it. Kevin had us answer some questions about one another with no idea what the other person had written until we were standing at the alter. He took the answers to those questions and his knowledge and observations of us, and told our friends and family our love story during our ceremony. It was like no other ceremony I’d ever heard. Almost every single one of our guests commented on how emotional and personal and “us” it was, and we have no one but Kevin to thank for that. We loved it so much that we’re even having the text turned into a piece of art! We will forever be grateful to Kevin for giving us the absolute perfect ceremony to start our marriage. Oh, and his wife Karen and her moonwalking skills are pretty awesome too!
Lauren performed our wedding and she was wonderful. I searched on-line to find an officiant and found Lauren. She took the time to meet to get to know about us. She gave us choices on vows which was very helpful. Lauren made our ceremony p...
erfect.
When my husband and I were planning our wedding in WV from Colorado there were a lot of stress factors. One of which was the time of year and the fact that we chose a Friday night before Sundown. (My husband is not jewish).
Lauren was incred...
ible throughout the entire process which was Fast Tracked due to timing. She answered all of our questions and concerns, she helped us craft a BEAUTIFUL ceremony and Ketubah Signing, and she agreed to a ceremony before sundown on a Friday when most Rabbis and Cantors would not.
As an interfaith couple my husband Gary and were incredibly pleased with the ceremony and Lauren was fabulous throughout and made us all feel inclusive!
Lauren came all the way from Florida to do our wedding in West Virginia on 12/29/2017 and we were so grateful!
I highly recommend Lauren to all interfaith couples!
Thank You Lauren for all your help and support!

Lauren is amazing!!! I can't find words enough to fully describe how highly professional and nicest person is she.
I came across her via Knot and she was the first offiant I spoke to. Although I called her last minute, I mean REALLY LAST MIN...
UTE, and she was already booked, she helped me out and sent amazing Deborah, who made our ceremony the most beautiful and memorable.
Lauren is very nice, responds texts or phone calls immediately, even after hours- true professional.
She was so supportive. I will never forget her sweetest words when we spoke over the phone on my wedding day; I was on my way to the ceremony, super excited and nervous same time, brides will understand what I mean. So I called her and immediately I felt myself relaxed. I am sooo grateful..
Again, there are no words to thank Lauren and Deborah enough for everything they did for us.
If you are looking for an officiant and haven't reached her out yet, what are you waiting for?
Highly highly recommended.
Lauren was absolutely amazing ! We were able to speak prior to wedding and go over exactly what my husband and I were looking for in an officiant. I would highly recommend her for your special day ! Once again thank you Lauren !
