I'm Rev. Lauri, a Connecticut wedding officiant based in Hamden, serving New Haven and surrounding areas. I write every ceremony from scratch, after a few conversations with you so the words sound like you, not a template. I work with spiritual couples, interfaith couples, same-sex couples, and blended families. Intimate elopements, backyard weddings, barns, castles, all of it. If you're in a hurry, I can help: I've written full ceremonies with just days to spare. You'll see every draft and can revise as much as you need. I also assist with vows, and I can bring in rituals like handfasting, a ring blessing, or a surprise where I share something private each of you said about the other.

“Lauri was fantastic to work with and we are so grateful we found her. She was a caring a nurturing presence throughout, was very receptive to our requested changes as we planned the ceremony script, and was clearly motivated by doing what would be right for us. She met with me and my fiance about four times during our wedding planning process to get to know us and modify our ceremony plan/script to what spoke most to us most as a couple. She was knowledgable about a variety of cultural traditions and helped us incorporate the Irish Hand Fasting Blessing into our ceremony, providing us with an everlasting, unique memory and memento (the handfasting chord) of our promises to each other. We received several compliments from our wedding guests about Lauri's ease and professionalism while she officiated our wedding. We highly recommend her! - Tess, May 2025 Bride, Bill Miller's Castle”

“David was absolutely amazing — both professional and so personal at the same time! From the very beginning, he walked us through everything, from customizing our ceremony to making sure we knew exactly what to expect on the big day. He took the time to really get to know us, and it showed in every single part of our ceremony. What we loved most is that David somehow feels like both a pro and a friend. He’s organized and experienced, but also warm, kind, and genuinely cares. You never feel like just another client with him — you feel supported, understood, and completely taken care of. He was such a great communicator throughout the whole process — super responsive, always available if we had a question, and just so easy to work with. During the ceremony, he absolutely shined. He spoke clearly and with purpose, enunciating every word so that every guest could hear and feel the meaning behind what he was saying. His timing, tone, and presence were perfect — confident, engaging, and full of heart. We can’t say enough good things about David. Having him as our officiant made our wedding day even more special. We’ll be recommending him to everyone we know — near and far — just so we can see him in action again!”

“Jesselica was the absolute best officiant we could have asked for to help us begin our new chapter as husband and wife. From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, organized, and attentive to every detail, making the entire process feel seamless and stress-free.

I had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid, and they honestly couldn’t have picked a better officiant! He made everything feel so warm and personal, heartfelt, and even a little fun! He gave us smiles, he gave us laughs, and he perfectly captured the couple’s personalities. Weddings can be hectic and stressful, but he made sure that on the big day they were calm, confident, and completely at ease in front of everyone. It was very natural, very organic, and I loved that. The ceremony flowed beautifully, and so many of us were smiling, laughing, and even tearing up at the perfect moments. The bridesmaids cried, the groomsmen cried, we all cried. But it was all happy tears, such a beautiful thing to be apart of! We all had such a great time, and you could just tell how much thought and care he put into making their day special. If you want someone who’s professional, warm, and makes the whole experience unforgettable, someone who’s going to reflect on your personalities and your journey as a couple, and someone to really move and make your guests feel that love in the atmosphere, Norman is the man to call!

It’s not 1952 anymore - nobody is scandalized that people live together before marriage, and thankfully, nobody is getting married because single women don’t have economic agency. So what does it mean for a modern couple to get married? We often think in terms of things we won’t do: we won’t leave, we won’t stray. Those are minimum requirements, not aspirations. The question of marriage is what will you do when - inevitably - love feels distant, and you are hurt or disappointed? I work with couples of all faith backgrounds who are as serious about their marriage as they are about their wedding and are ready to address that question.

“Rabbi Brent offers an outstanding program that my wife and I completed before he married us. We spent meaningful time not just with the Rabbi, but with each other in our own time to help write our ketubah.  The ketubah signing and ceremony he lead for us was moving, beautiful, and so powerful for us. Our attendees were also quite impressed! I’d recommend Rabbi Brent to anyone- for weddings, or just any service he offers. He’s a great human being on top of being a fantastic Rabbi, and I look forward to keeping in touch with him.”

Our 2008 marriage ceremony was the best I’ve ever attended (I may be biased). My partner and I created a humorous and meaningful service that fit us perfectly. I want to be able to do the same for you. I am a social worker who is good at highlighting relationships and connections. I’m an attentive listener, and I promise you won’t feel like you’re in a therapy session when we work together. Unless you totally love therapy, in which case, sure, I’ll use my therapist voice. Social workers aren’t usually associated with humor, but I assure you, I am hilarious. I'm also calm, organized, thoughtful & fun.

“Josie was amazing from the moment we met her up until our wedding. She was super thorough & clear about how she went about getting to know us/ our story and she did a phenomenal job at our wedding. Our guests praised her & we got so many compliments on her delivery. I’ve been to a lot of wedding where the ceremony feels long winded and rehearsed & I was so nervous about my own wedding being that way, but Josie was the complete opposite, she was funny & sincere and did a great job at being a mixture of both and adding her own flare to the ceremony as well.

“I genuinely cannot imagine our wedding without Evelyn and the Love & Laughter Weddings team. We live out of state and got married at my family’s estate in Carmel by the Sea, so from the beginning I knew we needed a wedding planner. We worked with Evelyn for about a year and a half and somehow every detail turned out even better than my pinterest dreams. Evelyn is truly a rockstar!! She is organized, kind, patient, and has this incredibly calming presence that makes you feel like everything is going to be okay, even when your anxiety has you convinced it is not. She was there for every planning call, every random question, and every panic email I sent after having some ridiculous wedding related dream in the middle of the night. Nothing ever made her seem overwhelmed. She would just calmly talk me through it, come up with a solution, and suddenly whatever I was stressing about didn't feel like a big deal anymore. We also used their in house design services, officiant, and live music and I cannot recommend them enough! Having so much of the wedding managed under one roof made planning SO easy and everything was incredibly cohesive. At some point during planning Evelyn told me that the goal for wedding day was “no thoughts, just vibes” and that became our running joke, but she was completely serious lol. When the wedding weekend finally came, I genuinely turned my brain off. I wasn't checking the time or worrying about setup or wondering what was supposed to happen next. For the first time in a year and a half, I wasn't thinking about the wedding, I was just IN it and enjoying it because I knew Evelyn had everything covered. Hiring Love & Laughter was hands down one of the best decisions we made. Evelyn, thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams and for allowing me to actually experience and enjoy it instead of managing it. I would hire you again and again a million times over.”

“From our very first contact with Laura, we were impressed by her exceptional communication. She made the entire wedding planning process seamless with her responsiveness and willingness to help. Laura is a true professional, demonstrating incredible knowledge and experience in the wedding realm. Her flexibility with scheduling was much appreciated, and on our wedding day, she truly shined. Laura was attentive, professional, and soft-spoken, making her presence calming and reassuring. Even our guests remarked on how delightful she was. One of the highlights of our ceremony was the bilingual aspect. Laura shifted effortlessly between English and Spanish, ensuring that everything flowed smoothly without making the ceremony feel long-winded or hard to follow. I can't recommend Laura enough—100%! She not only helped to make our wedding day more organized but also added a special touch that we will cherish forever. It was an absolute pleasure to work alongside her for such a significant occasion. Thank you, Laura, for making our day so memorable!”

Your wedding is more than a series of moments; it’s the story of your love, shared with the people who matter most. From the moment you walk down the aisle to the last dance of the evening, every transition should feel effortless for you and your guests. I offer something unique: one consistent voice guiding your celebration from start to finish. As both your officiant and/or MC, I bring warmth, clarity, and energy to every stage of your wedding.

“If you are looking for an officiant who feels less like a vendor and more like a long-time friend, hire Janelle.  We were naturally nervous, but Janelle has a calming presence that made the entire experience stress-free and natural. My relatives are still talking about her! Thank you, Janelle, for making our big day so warm and memorable!”
