Creating More Love, Joy & Belonging In The World
Through meaningful celebrations, heart-centered coaching, and conversations that inspire us to show up fully.
You dream of a life that feels like you.
You want to move through life feeling present, connected, and completely yourself. You want your world to be filled with meaning, personality, laughter, tenderness, and joy.
You want your people, your chosen family, your loved ones, surrounding you and celebrating the full truth of who you are and who you love.
You believe in the power of story-telling, meaningful conversations, and shared experiences to spark connection, shift perspective and inspire us to live more fully and authentically.
SAME HERE! I believe - and have seen time and time again - that we all have the power to create lives, celebrations and experiences FILLED with love, joy and belonging.
I’m here to help you do just that!
Hi, I'm Lauren! (they/them)
Based in Sacramento, growing and celebrating love throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.
I’m an award winning Love Celebrant, best-selling author, certified co-active coach, speaker and all around joyful human.
At the heart of everything I do is the belief that we ALL deserve to be loved, seen and celebrated for who we truly are. I also believe that we have the power to create lives, celebrations and experiences FILLED with love, joy and belonging - and that it’s WAY more fun when we get to create that together.
For nearly 20 years, I’ve had the honor of getting to know people deeply and celebrating their lives and love in ways that feel true to who they are. Nearly 300 wedding ceremonies and hundreds of coaching clients later, I’ve seen first hand the healing and transformational power of loving yourself, exactly as you are.
Whether your getting married, going through a life transition, or wanting more love, joy and inspiration in your life, my passion is guiding you from performing, proving, and people-pleasing to feeling deeply connected, seen, and celebrated for exactly who you are.
I believe that we are all worthy of lives, celebrations and experiences that reflect the essence of who we are.
“Lauren’s process takes you out of the logistics of planning a wedding and back into feeling the love — the whole reason you’re even getting married. Lauren made us feel seen, loved, and cared for as if we had been friends for years. The ceremony perfectly captured our love story, and every guest said it was their favorite part of the day.”
LAUREN AS A LOVE CELEBRANT
I’m reimagining what it means to hold space for love.
After nearly 20 years of celebrating couples, I’ve learned that some of the most meaningful wedding experiences begin long before the ceremony.
They begin with slowing down. Getting curious. Reflecting on the relationship you’ve created and the commitment you’re making. Creating space to feel the depth, tenderness, joy, and significance of this moment in your lives.
That’s why I became a Love Celebrant.
I wanted to offer couples something deeper than a beautiful ceremony. I wanted to create a positive, affirming experience that helps you feel present, connected, and fully yourselves as you step into this next chapter together.
My signature offering, the Love Celebration Journey, brings that vision to life. Together, we’ll explore your relationship, deepen your connection, discover what marriage means to you, and create a joyful, deeply personal and affirming Love Celebration rooted in who you truly are.
Because your love deserves more than beautiful words. It deserves to be deeply known and joyfully celebrated.
“Before working with Lauren, we felt excited to celebrate our day of love. After working with Lauren, we realized how much more there was to celebrate. Lauren guided us in celebrating our love, our growth together, our growth individually and the love around us.””
