Welcoming Tender Hearts, Joyful Spirits, and Deep Feelers
You dream of a ceremony and celebration that feels like you.
You want to arrive at your wedding day feeling present, connected, and completely yourself. You want your people, your chosen family, your loved ones, gathered around you to witness the full truth of who you are and who you love.
You want a ceremony filled with meaning, personality, laughter, tenderness, and joy. One that reflects your story, your values, and everything that makes your love uniquely yours.
You want a ceremony that feels unmistakably, profoundly you.
That’s exactly what I’m here for.
Hi, I'm Lauren! (they/them)
Rooted in Northern California, happy to travel
I’m a queer Love Celebrant, author, and joyful human who really loves love.
For nearly 20 years, I’ve had the honor of getting to know couples deeply and helping them celebrate their love in ways that feel true to who they are.
My passion is guiding couples through an emotionally rich journey from performing, proving and people-pleasing to feeling deeply connected, seen and celebrated for exactly who they are.
For a lot of people, especially queer, trans and beautifully non-traditional folks, a wedding ceremony is the first time the world has been asked to witness and celebrate the full truth of who you are. Every beautiful, luminous part of you, loved out loud, on your own terms.
When I get to know you (really know you): your story, your humor, your tenderness, the specific and delightful way you move through the world together, something extraordinary becomes possible.
A celebration that is fully, completely, cosmically yours.
“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 an 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 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.””
