Laura came highly recommended by our event planner and I am so thankful we listened to her recommendation! The booking process with Laura was so easy, she walked me through everything I needed to know about the wedding day and arrived early to make sure we didn’t have any questions!
Laura gave us a truly beautiful ceremony, it was sentimental with the perfect small touches of humor. So many of our guests asked us how we knew Laura and were shocked when we let them know we hired her. After meeting once it amazed me how personal Laura was able to make our ceremony. Can’t recommend her more!

Laura is absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend her enough! She was kind and easy to work with, extremely knowledgeable and communicated so well with us. We had her come to the rehearsal at the wedding venue and she walked us through the whole process, which really eased my worries about how everything would go the day of. We had a non-denominational ceremony and she created the perfect script!

My partner and I found Laura through theknot.com when looking for an officiant for our wedding; from her website, she seemed like a great fit for the kind of ceremony we were looki...
ng for. She was immediately very responsive, and from the first time we met with her, we knew she would be perfect - it very quickly felt like she knew and understood us, and our relationship, well.
During the rehearsal, she stepped in and helped us plan for what the ceremony would look like. On the day of the wedding, she helped keep us calm and organized, and the ceremony she gave was so beautifully written and given, and so well-tailored to us and our relationship. During the reception, we had many compliments on her part in the ceremony, with many people guessing she must have known us for some time.
I would absolutely recommend Laura - she's kind and friendly and disarming, and quickly put us at ease about one of the most important parts of our wedding.
Thank you, Laura! :)

ove and beyond our expectations. We got several compliments from our guests after the ceremony regarding her delivery style and the ceremony she created for us. It was so fun and unique to us; it perfectly captured the kind of message we wanted. Laura even went out of her way to come find us before the ceremony to make sure we took a moment to breathe and helped calm our nerves. Then she sent our marriage license in for us after we signed it and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Laura was a great asset to our wedding team, we'd definitely recommend her!

My husband and I are Ohioans who eloped in Saguaro National Park and used Laura as our officiant. She was outstanding! There were so many obstacles we had to work around (COVID, th...
e Arizona heat), which caused us to change the date/time up several times. Laura was always quick to respond to emails and VERY flexible. The day of our ceremony was our first time meeting her in person, but it felt like we'd known her for years. She's personable, professional, and really knows how to make you feel at ease during one of the most nerve-racking experiences in your life. She personalized our ceremony to fit us perfectly and even had tissues on hand (thankfully, b/c I needed several...haha). Our parents have not stopped talking about great she made everything! I would recommend her to anyone in the area!

I absolutely loved working with Laura! We were an out of town couple and she was very flexible in working with our schedule to meet with us before the big day. She takes the time t...
o get to know you and your partner and genuinely takes an interest as you both as people. She is very professional, looked great the day of our wedding and has a very pleasant speaking voice. She was great to work with; she was open to revisions and incorporating things we wanted. She helped us create the perfect ceremony - it was by far my favorite part of the day. She also took the time to create an individualized pamphlet/booklet of our ceremony and vows to keep.

Laura was amazing! She came highly recommended to us, so we set up a facetime call together (we were having our wedding in Tucson, but lived in Phoenix). She was amazing, very pers...
onable and a lot of fun. We ended up talking to her for almost an hour that day. She took all of our feedback, was very prompt to reply to emails and texts and when the ceremony came she was amazing. We got numerous compliments during the reception about how excellent the ceremony was. Her ceremony was personal, hit every key point we asked and was beautiful and concise. She sent us a few drafts of her speech, allowed us to make edits, gave us suggestions and then nailed it. We couldn't be more happy with how great she did and would recommend her at any chance we had. Thank you Laura!

Brilliant facilitator of our ceremony! I just have to say that you made our wedding day amazing by providing us with a flawless and emotional ceremony. You made the ceremony feel p...
ersonal and warm; it truly established the meaning of inclusiveness. You were so helpful from the beginning making sure we approved of the ceremony scripts and helped ensure we had everything we needed working collaboratively with all of our vendors. You helped make things feel easy, and we were able to relax as much as possible. I absolutely loved that you included our story, and presented it in such a beautiful way to our friends and families. We also loved the keepsake you presented us with at the conclusion of our ceremony. Perfection right down to the last detail and we couldn't have been happier to have shared such an important moment with you. You were very knowledgeable and professional right from our initial point of contact. Thank you for being so fantastic!
