I'm Rev. Lauri, a Connecticut wedding officiant based in Hamden, serving New Haven and surrounding areas. I write every ceremony from scratch, after a few conversations with you so the words sound like you, not a template. I work with spiritual couples, interfaith couples, same-sex couples, and blended families. Intimate elopements, backyard weddings, barns, castles, all of it. If you're in a hurry, I can help: I've written full ceremonies with just days to spare. You'll see every draft and can revise as much as you need. I also assist with vows, and I can bring in rituals like handfasting, a ring blessing, or a surprise where I share something private each of you said about the other.

“Lauri was fantastic to work with and we are so grateful we found her. She was a caring a nurturing presence throughout, was very receptive to our requested changes as we planned the ceremony script, and was clearly motivated by doing what would be right for us. She met with me and my fiance about four times during our wedding planning process to get to know us and modify our ceremony plan/script to what spoke most to us most as a couple. She was knowledgable about a variety of cultural traditions and helped us incorporate the Irish Hand Fasting Blessing into our ceremony, providing us with an everlasting, unique memory and memento (the handfasting chord) of our promises to each other. We received several compliments from our wedding guests about Lauri's ease and professionalism while she officiated our wedding. We highly recommend her! - Tess, May 2025 Bride, Bill Miller's Castle”

“Jesselica was the absolute best officiant we could have asked for to help us begin our new chapter as husband and wife. From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, organized, and attentive to every detail, making the entire process feel seamless and stress-free. She took the time to get to know us, making us feel completely comfortable and confident every step of the way. Our ceremony was everything we hoped it would, personal, heartfelt, and beautifully delivered. So many of our family members and guests came up to us afterward to tell us how much they loved the ceremony and specifically complimented Jesselica, saying she did an amazing job. That meant so much to us because creating a meaningful ceremony was one of our biggest priorities. Jesselica is the perfect balance of professional and personable, and her warmth and genuine care truly shine through in everything she does. We are so grateful she was such an important part of our wedding day and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional wedding officiant. Thank you, Jesselica, for helping make our day so unforgettable!”

Clergy for modern couples who want a ceremony that feels personal, meaningful, and emotionally unforgettable. As an ordained interfaith minister, holistic somatic practitioner, I bring a unique blend of ceremony, emotional presence, spiritual inclusivity, and calming support to your wedding day. I serve couples who may not want a traditional religious ceremony, but still want the moment to feel sacred, intentional, warm and deeply connected. I create ceremonies that honor your love story, your values, your energy, and the emotional experience you want to share with your guests. My approach is modern, inclusive, heartfelt, and grounded.

“Reverend Julie is a truly amazing wedding officiant and will provide you with the sweetest service and insightful guidance in building a ceremony to last you forever. We were traveling across country to our wedding location, so all of our planning time with Julie was done remotely over phone or video call - and she was always so accommodating and helpful in this process. As a largely secular couple, we didn’t have a lot of presumptions or direction for what our wedding ceremony could or should be - and Julie was an excellent guide and gave great structure to helping us find our way in that space. She made excellent and insightful suggestions about what we may want to include or subjects she would speak to - and in the end she provided us with the most amazing ceremony, catered exactly to our own needs and personalities and we are so grateful for having chosen Julie to do this service for us. We will never forget it. We highly, highly recommend Reverend Julie for any service, to celebrate a special day in your love or life.”

Debra also incorporated her own ideas and professional opinion to make sure we got a wide range of photos, from walking down the aisle... to candid "silly" photos that captured everyone's personalities....to the last moments of the night. Debra was always responsive to calls and emails, and very professional. The quality of her work is exceptional, and all of the compliments on our photos truly shows that! Christine & Broden 7/21/18"”

“We had such a wonderful experience with David as our wedding officiant and are so happy we chose him to be part of our day! From the very beginning, he was incredibly kind, easygoing, and so easy to work with. He made the process of creating our ceremony script feel completely effortless. He guided us through everything, listened to what we wanted, and helped us put together a ceremony that felt personal and true to us without the process ever feeling overwhelming. On our wedding day, David had such a warm and natural presence. He made us feel completely comfortable standing up there, and he delivered our ceremony beautifully. It felt heartfelt and meaningful while still feeling relaxed and very “us,” which was exactly what we wanted. Beyond being a wonderful officiant, David is simply a genuinely kind and enjoyable person to be around.

“I genuinely cannot imagine our wedding without Evelyn and the Love & Laughter Weddings team. We live out of state and got married at my family’s estate in Carmel by the Sea, so from the beginning I knew we needed a wedding planner. We worked with Evelyn for about a year and a half and somehow every detail turned out even better than my pinterest dreams. Evelyn is truly a rockstar!! She is organized, kind, patient, and has this incredibly calming presence that makes you feel like everything is going to be okay, even when your anxiety has you convinced it is not. She was there for every planning call, every random question, and every panic email I sent after having some ridiculous wedding related dream in the middle of the night. Nothing ever made her seem overwhelmed. She would just calmly talk me through it, come up with a solution, and suddenly whatever I was stressing about didn't feel like a big deal anymore. We also used their in house design services, officiant, and live music and I cannot recommend them enough! Having so much of the wedding managed under one roof made planning SO easy and everything was incredibly cohesive. At some point during planning Evelyn told me that the goal for wedding day was “no thoughts, just vibes” and that became our running joke, but she was completely serious lol. When the wedding weekend finally came, I genuinely turned my brain off. I wasn't checking the time or worrying about setup or wondering what was supposed to happen next. For the first time in a year and a half, I wasn't thinking about the wedding, I was just IN it and enjoying it because I knew Evelyn had everything covered. Hiring Love & Laughter was hands down one of the best decisions we made. Evelyn, thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams and for allowing me to actually experience and enjoy it instead of managing it. I would hire you again and again a million times over.”

Most couples who work with me take their relationship seriously, but don't take themselves too seriously. They're educated, do Wordle, read the NY Times and have a healthy sense of reality. Since 2011, I've been writing and performing personal, meaningful and refreshingly engaging ceremonies. Couples work with me in an easy, collaborative way. I take guest experience and your wishes very seriously. I have the ability to command a room, a writer's knack for shaping a story, an emcee's sense of timing, and experience at the most prestigious venues. My BFA in Acting (Boston University) and MFA in Creative Writing (NYU) serve me well.

“If Chris is available on your big day, look no further and just book him. We were so unsure of where to turn as we are not religious so we didn't have a preacher but also didn't have any family or friends we could visualize to do our ceremony, which so many people do now (Hire the pro!). I'm so so glad we found him! Chris is great because he does a great non-religious ceremony, under 30 minutes (what we wanted), and is so engaging, funny and easy to work with. Our guests loved our ceremony so much and wondered how we knew him (spoiler alert: we didn't know each other before we booked him for our wedding) because he made our ceremony so personal and told our beautiful love story so masterfully. After speaking with Chris my now husband and I both immediately wanted to move forward with him. After booking we got a somewhat long questionnaire, parts were for both of us to fill out together and we each had other parts that we filled out individually telling our version of our love story in our own words which made for a quite fun ceremony. While the questionnaire was long it was necessary to have the personalized ceremony we both wanted. We were able to meet with him in person when he was in Cincinnati, he also works in NYC, for another wedding and he is such a joy to be around. Once he was done with our ceremony he sent us a draft and we made a few small adjustments but it was PERFECT. Chris also ran our rehearsal and he did amazing organizing everyone and making sure that people knew what they needed to do. The ceremony couldn't have been more perfect on our wedding day, he has great timing, he is funny, engaging and had about 75% of our guests crying by the end. The video of our ceremony gets me misty every time. Thank you again Chris!”

They listened to all our ideas and created a ceremony that was so unique to us and full of little personal details. Miriam also coordinated and ran our rehearsal, which made the logistics feel so easy. On our wedding day (and even days after!), so many of our guests came up to us to say how beautiful the ceremony was and how much they loved it. We cannot recommend Miriam enough!”

“Our wedding day wouldn’t be possible without Reem. Not only was she kind, compassionate, and flexible, but she was an excellent problem solver who handled an entire venue change with 24 hours notice. The day before our wedding our reception venue cancelled on us and Reem really stepped up and saved the day. She handled the venue change, coordinated with multiple vendors, all while making sure our ceremony went smoothly. She and her assistant dealt with every issue with a smile on their faces and ensured that my husband and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Anyone would be lucky to have Reem in their corner for their event.”

“We can’t say enough good things about Sam! From our very first call, she was kind, professional, and genuinely excited to help us create a ceremony that was totally us. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and crafted a ceremony script that had everyone laughing, crying, and totally engaged. On the wedding day, Sam was calm, organized, and brought such great energy to the ceremony—she even helped us coordinate our guests right before the processional! We had so many people come up to us afterward to say how personal and heartfelt the ceremony was, which was exactly what we wanted. If you’re looking for an officiant who cares deeply about your story and will make your day feel truly special, Sam is your girl! 10/10 recommend.” — Lauren & Mike”
