About Rev. Laurel Gray

Rev. Laurel Gray (she/her)

Rev. Laurel is an ordained Unitarian Universalist minister with several years of experience serving in congregations. Trained at Yale Divinity School, Rev. Laurel is well-versed in working with couples of diverse religious or non-religious backgrounds. Prior to ministry, Rev. Laurel worked in the wedding industry in San Francisco and Napa Valley.

As a UU minister, I am well-equipped to work with couples with diverse religious and non-religious backgrounds. Together, we’ll create a ceremony that uniquely represents your relationship and values. If couples are looking for a historic venue for their ceremony, they may choose to rent the First Religious Society sanctuary, located in downtown Newburyport. I am also happy to officiate at venues off-site.

In three words: Collaborative, Empathetic, Organized

    Having Laurel as our wedding officiant was the best decision ever! She made the whole process so easy. She’s so easy to talk to, really cares and gets to know you and your partner, and provides the best advice! She is the best person to make your special day even more special and meaningful. She helped us create a custom ceremony that was tailored to both my and my spouse’s preferences. One of the reasons we chose Laurel was because she is so well spoken and really cares about you. She even wore a special outfit that coordinated with our wedding colors! She really goes the extra mile and should be the easiest YES of all your wedding vendors! Rest easy if you choose Laurel!!!

    Rev. Laurel Gray is an exceptional wedding officiant. Her communication style is kind, clear, and collaborative. The quality of their work and value they provide is truly exceptional and thoughtful. Rev. Laurel helped my husband and I craft our vows, was supportive of our reading choices, and led a beautiful ceremony. As one of Rev. Laurel's first ceremonies, her approach made us feel at ease and confident as we prepared to step into our marriage. We appreciated her professionalism and polish, and have enjoyed following her career as a Unitarian Minister.

    Rev. Laurel Gray was the perfect officiant for our wedding. Her communication style was individualized, kind, soft, and direct, which put us both at ease throughout the process. The quality of her work and the value she provided was thoughtful, caring, rich, and deeply meaningful. She did an amazing job of hearing us out individually to get a clear idea of our combined vision for our wedding day and ceremony, and it went perfectly. Rev. Gray delivered on making our day special, serene, and profound. We could not have asked for a better officiant to help make our wedding day so meaningful and memorable.
