Meet the Queer Love Celebrant Behind the Magic
“Lauren felt more like a queer fairy godparent guiding our wedding path than an officiant — that word simply isn’t enough.”
ABOUT LAUREN (they/them)
20 years | 300 Love Celebrations | 5 Star Reputation
I am a queer, non-binary, award-winning officiant and best-selling author with a golden retriever heart. I was put on this planet to grow and celebrate love, especially among those of us who have longed to be accepted and embraced for who we truly are.
For nearly 20 years, I have manifested my life purpose as a Love Celebrant, guiding hundreds of couples through their own Love Celebration Journey, an emotionally rich and transformational process where each person feels seen, cherished and deeply connected, from engaged to “we do.”
Beyond weddings, I'm known for daydreaming at the piano, holding onto hugs too long, and needing at least one hour to walk my dog Rizzo around the block so I can stop and chat with everyone I see.
Ready to hear something that might feel completely predictable? I cry at every ceremony. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. I am deeply sentimental, and being that close to such genuine expressions of love and joy moves me, always.
COMING HOME TO MYSELF
I knew I was queer at a young age. What I didn't have, for many years, were words for my gender. I moved through the world feeling just slightly off, aware that something essential in me didn't fit the categories available.
It wasn't until my 40s that I found the language that finally clicked: non-binary. With that naming came relief, clarity, and a deep softening. A sense of coming home to myself.
That journey taught me something important: when we feel truly seen and celebrated for who we are, something magical happens. Our love feels more joyful, more alive, and more true. That is exactly what I get to create with you.
“If feeling seen, heard, and cherished as an individual and as a couple is important to you, Lauren is the person for you.”
WHAT OUR JOURNEY TOGETHER LOOKS LIKE
The Love Celebration Journey begins with a genuine, heartfelt connection. When we find that fit, something beautiful opens up.
Together, we move through discovery and co-creation, a process that brings you to your celebration day more present, more connected, and more fully yourselves. My couples often tell me their guests assumed we'd been friends for years. That the ceremony was the favorite part of their whole day. That the words landed somewhere deep, and stayed there.
I walk beside you with care, presence, and a spark of playful mischief - the kind that keeps everything joyful, honest, and unmistakably you.
“Lauren is a joy-bomb. Their light, warmth, and joyousness are infectious. After our first call, we got off, looked at each other and said ‘Yes! Lauren has to be our officiant. We love them!’ They hit the ceremony out of the park. Everyone raved and raved.”
