Friendly, funny & caring
Laura was amazing to work with on our ceremony details.
She definitely puts the effort in to customize your ceremony and is definitely willing to adjust on the fly. I definitely appreciated the humour she brought to our ceremony as we had asked for that after completing our questionnaire. After meeting her she got a great feeling for us as a couple and helped us to reflect our true selves in our ceremony script & vows. She has great suggestions and is willing to work with you on making the ceremony perfect for you as a couple! Laura kept in contact with us throughout the process and was well prepared and executed our ceremony perfectly! We highly recommend Laura for your wedding ceremony.

She is awesome!
Laura provided my spouse and I an elopement ceremony in Stanley Park! Laura did a wonderful job making the ceremony feel personal. She was very responsive and personable. We loved that she added a special touch to the ceremony by adding her wish for us. Would highly recommend!!! Thanks Laura.

Highly personalized and caring
We had a microwedding, and therefore we were really hoping the ceremony can be personalized and special to us. Laura was very accommodating, from the first day to giving us a lot of information (and we didn’t even have our questions fully thought out!) to continuing to answer the various questions we had throughout. Laura also made the rehearsal SO FUN and gave us great tips that we then implemented. Most importantly, the ceremony was so special with her personal touches. She also did this couple questionnaire that was really fun to complete, and actually ended up helping us in writing our own vows! After the wedding, we ended up reviewing each other’s answer to the questionnaire and had a great giggle! Thank you SO MUCH Laura, we couldn’t have asked for a better officiant!
Bonus - Laura loved our furbaby!

Yvonne & Martin, you were both SUCH a joy to work with! And I mean "work" in the most FUN way possible LOL! It was a beautiful day, filled with beautiful people. And the icing on the cake was getting to meet your sweet little fur-baby Appa. I am in LOVE with him!
Wishing you both many years of good health and happiness.
Love,
Laura

Just perfect.
We would definitely recommend Laura Bee as your officiant. She was extremely accommodating as our big day was a last minute change from pre-COVID times. Very professional and conducted the ceremony beautifully. She was flawless in her incorporation of our love story into the ceremony. Thank you Laura! Absolutely recommend.
