    Laura is the perfect officiant

    we had to reschedule due to covid in 2020 and laura was incredibly flexible and helpful through the uncertain planning.
    After the ceremony i had multiple people tell me she was the best officiant they'd ever seen!
    We felt like she truly cared about us, we really felt the love! I recommend her to absolutely everyone

    Happy tears

    Laura was so wonderful to work with. Our ceremony was so perfect and meaningful. We felt like everything fit us so well, she did a wonderful job of incorporating specific things about us in our ceremony so everything felt very personal. She also provided very helpful advice throughout our wedding planning for the flow of our ceremony that we really appreciated.

    Laura Bee Ceremonies's reply:

    Carmina, thank you! I have to say that YOU were super easy to work with too! The joy you have in your heart came through in every interaction we shared... you have such a gentle and powerful spirit - it was easy to see why everyone there had tears in their eyes for you and Ariel. I also felt like I was on VACAY when I walked into the conservatory! Oh my goodness, my whole body immediately relaxed and reminded me of being in Hawaii (my joints thank you LOL). Wishing you both so much love.

    Moving, from the heart and soul

    Laura was phenomenal for our ceremony. I was the bride so I missed some things that she said and did at the beginning but when we were up there , she made sure that we were ok, very calming soothing. She even offered water bottles as it was 30 degrees outside. Biggest heart , and just an amazing woman. You captured my soulmate and I through your words, and all night I could hear everyone saying what a gorgeous ceremony, and so well done. Thank you Laura from Roisin and Ian

    Laura Bee Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you SO much Roisin - knowing that you and your guests really enjoyed the ceremony means the world to me! It was hot, eh?! LOL And yet you seemed so "cool!" Ian was so sweet, I heard him whispering little words of calming support to you also... he was so focused on you. I am so glad that after 13 years (yes?) that you are now married! It has been my joy to know you this last few years :)

    Outstanding!

    We used Laura as our officiant for our wedding in May 2022. She was very easy to communicate with and always got back to us promptly. She was extremely professional and during our rehearsal, really ironed out all the kinks so everyone felt super comfortable on the day of the wedding. Our favourite part was how she had us fill in questionnaires about ourselves/our partner and incorporated it into the ceremony, Laura was wonderful and we would recommend her over and over!

    Great experience

    Laura, thank you for making our ceremony fabulous in every way. You made the whole process easy and we are so thankful that we chose you to be our officiant.

    Laura Bee Ceremonies's reply:

    It was SO FUN Matt & Rebecca! I remember well how it felt to be in that space with all those people who gathered to witness your ceremony; I could literally FEEL how much they all loved you both. xo Wishing you a zillion years of that same feeling...

    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!

    Laura Bee Ceremonies's reply:

    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

    the most magical day of our lives!

    Wow, just wow. From the first moment that we met with Laura, we could tell that our wedding day was going to be so full of beauty, wonder and celebration. Laura's warm and loving presence, her incredible attention to detail, her in depth knowledge of ceremonial lore and her strength and grace in holding space made for such a wonderful journey with her. Laura was kind, attentive, professional, organized, wise, compassionate (especially when wedding preparations became stressful), and so helpful in putting together our ceremony.

    On the wedding day itself, Laura called in the essences of our respective ancestors, tied in our loved ones present and passed with such caring and sensitivity, and really held the most sacred space for us to enter into the bonds of marriage.

    We are endlessly grateful to Laura and her stunning work in weaving together the most perfect ceremony we could have asked for, and we recommend her completely.

    Thank you Laura for being with us and helping to create the memories that we will cherish for a lifetime

    Laura Bee Ceremonies's reply:

    Dearest Mya, firstly I apologize for not acknowledging your post sooner. And my goodness, what a love letter you have written to me! I am deeply moved by your generosity, and grateful to you for taking the time out of your very busy schedule to share your experience. Wishing you and JP a lifetime of the enormous love you have for one another and the very best health. Until we meet again, dear sister...

    Laura was awesome!

    I'd recommend Laura anytime! She made our experience so beautiful, personalized, memorable and truly truly sweet. She really listened to what we wanted and tapped in to who we are to give us a really special set of vows we'll remember forever. Laura is really caring and has a super personable touch to everything she does. Also professional, understanding, and flexible! We were blown away, she's one of the best! :)

    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.

    Laura Bee Ceremonies's reply:

    Dearest Rebecca, my deepest gratitude to you for taking the time to write me a love letter! It was certainly a JOY to write your love story - and meeting you both made it easy to see why you are so incredibly in love with each other. I wish you long and healthy lives together, and lots more of the fun and adventure too!!! xoxo
