choosing her as our officiant was one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, she was professional, compassionate, and incredibly understanding of our situation. Our ceremony wasn’t traditional, but Lori handled everything with such grace and respect, making our special day feel just as meaningful and intimate as any other wedding.
She took the time to ensure everything was done properly while still making it personal to us, and that meant so much. You can truly tell she cares about the people she works with and the love stories she’s a part of.
If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, kind-hearted, and will go above and beyond to make your ceremony special, we highly recommend Lori. We’re so grateful we found her!

Lori did great explaining the process of officiating a ceremony, and helped my husband and I put together our vows and opening speech. Arrived on time for our rehearsal, and wedding day. Would recommend for anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding! Thanks again, Lori!!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Estimated base price is $165. However, it may be more or even less depending on the ceremony. I am always willing to work with you on pricing based on your budget needs.
In full transparency the following would be
add ons:
*Rehearsal Attendance: $50
*Travel in excess of 30 miles: $25
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Initially will set up a phone or FaceTime consultation with the couple to discuss details & 2nd step would be to secure a signed contract for my services at which point I will reserve their date. Next, I would schedule a final phone/facetime consult a few days before the wedding to confirm details & any changes.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Professional experience in public speaking, organization & leadership.
