About
Your wedding ceremony should feel like you. For 16 years, I’ve helped couples create meaningful, personal ceremonies that reflect their love and values.
Whether you’d like to write your own vows or choose from thoughtfully prepared options, we’ll work together to design a ceremony that fits you perfectly. I offer a variety of specialty elements, including handfasting, jumping the broom, unity candle, wine, sand, and poetry readings.
My husband can also capture non-professional photos of your day and provide you with the SD card of all images for a $75 fee, and he can serve as one of the two required witnesses if needed.
I also offer a $50 military discount.
If you’re looking for a warm, personalized wedding ceremony, I’d be honored to be your officiant.

We hired LaNora to officiate our wedding this past weekend. From our very first conversation she was very communicative, and informative. She was punctual on the day of our wedding. She wrote a beautiful ceremony script, everyone was so amazed and pleased after the ceremony and complimenting how lovely and heartwarming it was. It’s almost like she knew us personally and knew exactly what to say. We would definitely recommend LaNora to anyone! She was absolutely wonderful to work with.

Lanora is very professional and responsive through out the whole process. She reminded us on the marriage license application start date. Send us the script as we wish and listened patiently on our suggestions. She also suggested that arriving 30 min ahead for paper work and she’s on time! We are so grateful that she is our officiant for our ceremony. Appreciate all your help and professionalism!

LaNora was great! She was there early and got the paperwork done ahead of time so we didn’t have to worry about it after. And soo helpful with the script and vows. Exactly what we wanted! Thank you, LaNora. 😊
