About
As an ordained interfaith/interspiritual minister, I specialize in creating customized wedding and memorial services. I believe that the common language across all faith traditions and religions is love and work with my clients to create the most personal experience. My fees begin with elopement/micro ceremonies under 25 guests, all the way up to hundreds of guests with attendance at a rehearsal. I also offer guidance and assistance with vows, ceremony elements and more!

She was so kind and wonderful! Even though we had a small ceremony, she made it feel so special. She even helped us find a photographer, which meant so much to us. She is such a wonderful person, and we are so grateful she officiated our wedding. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Highly recommend!

Rev. Lauri was fantastic- so sweet and caring. She personalized the elopement to us instead of just making it a standard reading. You can tell she cares and is inclusive of all. She was responsive and respectful. I would recommend her to my closest friends and family.

Lauri was exceptional from start to finish. She met with us multiple times, took the time to explain our options, and sent us all our ceremony details for our review. The ceremony was a true reflection of us as a couple. I could not have asked for a better experience. Many people commented on how well done the ceremony was.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My base fee covers creation and delivery of a customized ceremony within a 50 mile radius of New Haven. Three meetings/three drafts and a final ceremony are included! Additional fees include travel travel to New York/Mass/RI and/or attendance at a rehearsel. After meeting with you, I will provide a final contract price. I do offer a discount for elopements in my Hamden office, contact me for more info!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I encourage my potential clients to book an exploratory call with me! Let's see if we are a fit by getting more information about what you are looking for in your ceremony, how I view the wedding ceremony and anything else to help you make your decision.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended a two year interfaith/interspritual (spiritual but not religious) seminary in New York, One Spirit Seminary. At the end of the two year program, which included studying all the major faith traditions, designing my life of service as a minister and all the things about ceremonies, I was ordained in June, 2019. I continued on to complete another two programs at One Spirit, Companions in Care and Interspiritual Counseling to continue my training in spiritual direction.
