Lauri was the officiant for my wedding in October at the Barns of Wesleyan hills and I highly recommend using her!

She made our day extra special

Casey, Thank you so much for your kind words! It was an honor to create and lead your ceremony with John, and get to know you and your family. Much love to you as you embark on this next phase of life together!
We had the honor of being married by Rev. Lauri as part of an intimate family ceremony. This was a last minute ceremony, and immediately after I reached out it was clear Lauri would be the perfect fit for our special day. She is extremely responsive and very thoughtful in her approach. We chatted with Lauri twice before our wedding day, and she helped curate the perfect ceremony through our conversations and the guided questions she provided for us to answer. She was warm, flexible, and extremely easy to work with. We will always be grateful to Lauri for making our wedding ceremony memorable and meaningful. We highly recommend Lauri!

If you are reading this review, it's likely because you are considering Rev. Lauri to officiate your wedding. If you are seeking an extraordinary, compassionate, and loving individual who radiates warmth and adds value to your special day and beyond, then look no further! My husband and I discovered Rev. Lauri through The Knot. Upon reading her biography, I immediately knew she was the perfect fit for us.
Rev. Lauri dedicated time to meet with us six times in person, not only to help us create a beautifully unique ceremony but also to truly understand who we are as individuals. She also attended our rehearsal, where her experience shone through as she assisted us in organizing the bridal party and ensuring all necessary equipment, such as a microphone stand and podium, were in place for the big day.
With her expertise, Rev. Lauri seamlessly blended our Catholic heritage with a contemporary touch, incorporating elements like Celtic handfasting into our ceremony. The feedback from our guests during the reception and in the days that followed was overwhelmingly positive, with many commenting on the beauty and enjoyment of the ceremony, a sentiment that my husband and I wholeheartedly shared.

Lauri officiated at my son & daughter in laws wedding on 9/30/2023. She made herself available all day. She was with us providing instruction & her expertise. The ceremony was unlike anything I ever witnessed. She understood the couples vision & provided them with a unique ceremony, grounded in mindfulness of nature, spirituality & capturing their personalities to a tee. I would highly recommend Lauri for her professionalism & her ability to provide a one of a kind ceremony.

Thank you so much, April for your kind words! It was a beautiful day for all involved, and I appreciate the opportunity to create the perfect ceremony for your son and daughter in law. thank you!
Lauri was recommended to us by another officiant and, oh my, are we glad she was recommended! She developed a beautiful ceremony that we will adore for the rest of our lives. Through numerous meetings, Lauri got to know my partner and I and create something that was meaningful to us both. She took time to talk through decisions and respected our definition of marriage. Not only did we adore her, but our wedding party thought she was nothing short of lovely! I cannot recommend her enough.

honor to officiate. May your life together continue to unfold perfectly, with love and joy!
My husband and I are so grateful we chose Lauri to be our officiant! She was so kind and helpful throughout our wedding planning process. We met with her over zoom several times to discuss our ceremony wishes and she tailored our ceremony just for us! We also both used her vow workbook to help us write our vows, it was extremely beneficial. She gave a beautiful delivery of our ceremony on the wedding day, even when we were getting rained on! Thank you again for making our ceremony so beautiful!

Thank you, Brittany and Josh! An honor and a joy to officiate, even when the weather wasn't perfect, your love shone through. I am very excited to see what life has in store for you both! Much love and many blessings to you!
We are so so grateful to have had Lauri perform our wedding ceremony! Leading up to the big day she worked closely with us to craft a ceremony that was both meaningful and personalized. Lauri made it clear from the beginning that she wanted our ceremony to be our ceremony. With every draft of the ceremony she took our feedback and made tweaks and adjustments to make it absolutely perfect! Her careful attention to detail and true investment in us and our special day was clear in every step along the way. She also has so many supports for helping her couples write their own vows. While my husband took her advice and ran with it, it was helpful for me to have the clear outlines, examples, and prompts she sent us to guide me through mine! On our wedding day it was such a comfort to have an officiate we had gotten to know so well. It is clear Lauri puts her heart into her work, and I would encourage anyone in search of an officiate to reach out to her.
Very professional, kind and flexible. She did a wonderful job on our day, exactly how we wanted it. She really puts in a lot of time and effort in making the ceremony just right. Thank you, Lauri!
Lauri was such a pleasure to work with. She’s positive, genuine, responsive, and created a lovely ceremony for our wedding. Our family and friends spoke of what a beautiful ceremony it was. She helped us create an individualized and unique ceremony for us. It was a beautiful day we keep reliving over and over! Thank you, Lauri!

Thank you so much, Lauren and Krys! It was an honor, and a joy to not only officiate your marriage , but to get to know you both over the past several months! I know life will continue to unfold magically for you both, and I deeply appreciate...
your generosity of spirit.
Lauri was wonderful, she officiated a beautiful ceremony and her words were poetic, concise, impactful, and her guidance throughout the process was nothing short of great. I wish I could say that I would have her officiate my next wedding, but that would imply the worst! If you want someone who really cares and understands, then she is perfect for your ceremony.

tiful day to celebrate your love. May your life together continue to be filled with love, humor, joy and compassion.
Reverend Lauri Ingram officiated at our 30th wedding anniversary vow renewal ceremony this past weekend. She created a beautiful, heartwarming ceremony that truly celebrated our wonderful lives together and the life we will continue to share with our family. Lauri is a loving, caring and dedicated minister. Thank you for a wonderful day!
What truly makes a wedding special is the officiant who leads a ceremony which sets the tone for the rest of the evening; and thats exactly what Rev. Lauri Ingram did for our wedding. Lauri took everyone in the room on a journey with her words and voice which truly conveyed the love between my wife and I. We especially loved how she suggested everyone take a deep breath before we began. Lauri met with us multiple times before the wedding because she sincerely wanted to get to know us as a couple so that she could align with our wedding style. She honored and respected where we stood on spiritual matters, she was very confident in her abilities and kept cool under pressure. Lauri is extremely professional, reliable, warm, caring and compassionate; not to mention very accepting of the fact that we are a same sex couple. Her style of organization put my wife and I at ease before and during the ceremony. Her calm and peaceful demeanor made our wedding a beautiful event, so much that family and friends said it was the most touching and sentimental ceremony they have ever witnessed. The guidance Lauri provided while putting together our vows was impeccable as she is a true mentor and counselor. One week prior to the wedding my grandmother passed; not only did Lauri gracefully acknowledge that during the ceremony, but she also sent me a beautiful card offering her condolences which reveals how good-hearted and personable she is. With her intuitive nature and mindfulness, Lauri knows how to really connect and understand people. Her authentic expression of love and spirituality created an experience for us that was incredibly sacred, elegant and meaningful. If you and your spouse to be are looking for someone who takes great pride in their work and loves working closely with couples to create the most perfect wedding ceremony, then for sure 100% Lauri is the officiant for you! Thank you Lauri from the bottom of our hearts for contributing to making our dream come true! We love you!

Bari and Jacquelyn, I am so deeply honored by your review. Getting to know you, creating your ceremony, and leading the ceremony was truly a joy! You are truly blessed to have found each other and I am very excited to see how your life toget...
her unfolds!! Love to you both!
To say that Lauri was extraordinary throughout the ceremony planning process is an understatement. She was not only with us every step of the way--she was setting those steps for us to make sure our day was successful, special, and beyond our wildest dreams. From evening calls to bi-weekly emails, she had us on track for our last minute ceremony planning after our first officiant disappeared on us weeks before our wedding. We are so grateful that luck and a leap of faith brought us to Lauri and could not find enough words to say look no further, Rev. Lauri is the best choice you can make for your wedding day. Thank you, Lauri!
Lauri really cares about your ceremony. She puts so much thought and effort into its development. She was such a blessing for us, and was so heartfelt every step of the way. She was the glue that held a lot of the planning together in a lot of ways. We can not recommend Lauri highly enough!

Natalie and Chris, thank you SO much for your kind words! I deeply appreciate what you have shared, and wish you many many many years of joy, and laughter, and love!
Lauri really tries to get to know you before the wedding and tries to make your wedding as perfect as possible. She takes the time to go over everything so that your wedding goes as planned. She did a wonderful job officiating our wedding.
Lauri helped make our ceremony a warm and loving experience. My husband is Jewish and I am Catholic. Neither of us our very spiritual so Lauri helped craft a ceremony that focused on the love we had for each other and our two dogs😊 She is responsive, friendly, and a joy to work with! She even accommodated a day-of change when my father-in-law asked us to do the glass breaking ceremony last minute. She is wonderful and I highly recommend.
