What are past couples saying about Lori’s officiant services?
Lori Hayes was wonderful! We could not have been happier to have Lori as our officiant. She was very respectful to all our requests and her thoughtful and cheerful personality only added to the warmth and intimacy that we were wishing for in an outdoor wedding. Great experience all around!

Lori Hayes was awesome to work with. She took all of our needs and suggestions into consideration and put together an amazing ceremony. We are so glad to have worked with Lori, she made our ceremony so special and she was extremely professional. I would recommend Lori and her company to anyone without question.

Lori Hayes was a perfect fit. She was lovely, patient and didn't make us feel pressured in any way. I found the other officiant services I contacted made me feel stressed and made the whole procedure seem way more complicated than it actually is. Lori's approach was calm and simple, and we really appreciated her demeanor. Weddings can be stressful and we planned ours fairly quickly, so it was important to us to have someone who didn't make us feel guilty or stressed about our decision. The ceremony was simple and perfect. Thanks so much for making our day so special.

Lori Hayes was a great officiant! She was extremely well organized, very professional and made us feel comfortable from day one! Lori made the ceremony very easy on us and projected her voice very well during the ceremony to the point where our guests thought she was wearing a mic! She comes highly recommended from us!

Lori Hayes was fabulous. She met with us in person before our wedding and supported all of the personal touches we added to the ceremony. Whenever we had questions, Lori got back to us promptly. At the ceremony Lori was professional and friendly. She did a great job.

Lori Hayes was wonderful! At first we were a little hesitant but after meeting Lori and talking with her, we knew that NO ONE could ever do what she did. You should be very pleased to have an officiant of her quality and professionalism. We will be renewing our vows every 5 years or so and will indeed use Lori again, and we have told everyone we know who are deciding to marry and referred Lori to EVERYONE!

Lori Hayes was amazing! She was so friendly and professional. She lead our rehearsal on only 2 days’ notice, and made sure that we were 100% comfortable before we finished. I’ve had several friends say they were married by Lori as well and they all had nothing but praise. As stressful as weddings can be, Lori made us feel calm and relaxed throughout. It was a perfect day and we couldn’t have asked for anything more! Thank you for sharing in our magical day!!
— JAMIE & RYAN —
Lori Hayes really just pays that little bit of extra attention that makes you feel like you’re not “just a client”. Lori was so wonderful. She really was just one of the many perfect things about our day. She is genuine and exudes this sort of friendliness that is calming, reassuring, and like a bright light. Cannot thank her enough.
