An absolute angel officiant!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Leslie, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, she was warm, friendly, and incredibly easy to talk to, which immediately put us at ease during what can be a stressful time.

She was always courteous and professional, while still bringing a genuine kindness that made the entire process feel personal and meaningful. She was more than willing to accommodate our preferences and made sure our ceremony truly reflected us as a couple.

On our wedding day, she delivered a beautiful ceremony that felt heartfelt, smooth, and perfectly tailored. We’re so grateful for the role she played in making our day so special and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant who is both professional and genuinely caring!

"Love and Light" for Bridget and Jake, September 2023

I am the mother-of-the-bride and I could not have been happier with Bridget and Jake's choice for officiant at their wedding. "Love and Light" brought just that to their wedding day!
From their first meeting to discuss how they would like their day to proceed, Leslie was open and encouraging. The ceremony felt natural, organic and very real and loving. Like a family group hug.
I would not hesitate to recommend "Love and Light" to anyone planning a wedding."Love and Light' made a very special day even more special.

Leslie is amazing!!

Leslie is absolutely amazing! She wrote a beautiful ceremony for us that our guests still can’t stop talking about! Communication was splendid and easy, she was able to accommodate mild changes to the ceremony which we appreciated so greatly. She was so professional and friendly with us the whole time. We would highly recommend Leslie and would pick her again in a heartbeat! :)

Leslie is the perfect officiant!

Leslie is the perfect officiant! Warm, kind, full of love, and extremely personable! She made us feel immediately comfortable during our initial meeting and we ended up staying longer than necessary because she was such a joy to converse with.

During our ceremony, she was punctual, professional, funny and delivered a heart-warming speech that ensured tears of joy to everyone in attendance. Leslie was also great at guiding us all through the steps in a way that felt natural and relaxed.

We highly recommend her services. She's as incredible an officiant as she is a person!

Nothing makes me happier than putting together a marriage ceremony that's full of love and joy. Thoughts of my own wedding bring smiles and happiness. I want the same for you.

Still in love with that man I married 23 years ago, I love travelling with him near to home or far away.

I come from a long line of happy marriages and believe in love forevermore.
