“Where do I even begin with Sarah?! I truly cannot put into words how AMAZING she and her team were throughout this entire experience. From day one, Sarah was there for me. Throughout an entire year of wedding planning, she stayed in constant communication, answered every single question I had (and never once made me feel like any question was a dumb one), and handled everything with so much patience, poise, professionalism, and class. But wedding day?! Sarah was quite literally EVERYTHING for me. She made sure everything happened exactly when and how my husband and I wanted it to. Any surprise, hiccup, or last-minute change that came her way, she handled it so gracefully that half the time we didn’t even know there was an issue — and THAT is exactly what you want on your wedding day! Not only was she an incredible coordinator, but she officiated our ceremony beautifully as well. She truly wore every hat and made sure we could simply enjoy our day without worrying about what was happening behind the scenes. Our wedding party, family, and guests are STILL talking about how amazing Sarah and her team were and how smoothly everything went. That alone speaks volumes. Sarah, THANK YOU will never feel like enough. Thank you for being there through the planning, for listening to us, advocating for what we wanted, keeping everything together, and helping make our wedding day everything we imagined it would be. You were such a huge part of making our day so special, and I will forever be grateful that we chose I Got a Love Jones Events. If you are looking for a coordinator/officiant who genuinely cares about her couples and will handle your day like it’s her own — BOOK SARAH. PERIOD. 10/10 — I would choose her all over again!”

“We truly could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding. From the very beginning, Laura took the time to genuinely get to know us, not only as individuals, but as a couple, and that came through beautifully in every part of our ceremony. We had a specific vision for what we wanted the ceremony to feel like, and Laura understood it perfectly. She listened closely to our preferences, incorporated everything we asked for, and struck exactly the right balance of personal, meaningful, warm, and celebratory. Nothing felt generic or scripted. The ceremony felt completely and authentically ours. On the wedding day, Laura was absolutely incredible. She led the ceremony with such confidence, warmth, and ease, and everything she shared was incredibly thoughtful and meaningful to us. She made what could easily have been an overwhelming moment feel natural, comfortable, and incredibly special. Laura is truly a master of the wedding ceremony craft.

“Working with Love & Laughter Weddings for our small wedding in Carmel by the Sea was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire planning process. We booked their Event Management package with officiant and Design add on for our wedding weekend and I genuinely can’t imagine our wedding without Evelyn and her team. From the moment we met, Evelyn was such a calming, reassuring, and positive presence. Wedding planning felt overwhelming at times, but she always made us feel grounded and supported in our check in meetings. No matter what came up, she handled everything with kindness, confidence and such a peaceful energy. Having someone like that in your corner truly makes all the difference. I shared my Pinterest inspiration and some ideas I’d seen online with her and somehow she brought everything to life even better than I could’ve imagined. Every detail was intentional and very “Us.” The entire weekend flowed so easily and I was able to be present in the moment and enjoy the time with our family and friends instead of stressing. The whole Love & Laughter team was amazing to work with and made our wedding feel effortless and beautiful. I highly recommend them for any couple looking for a team that is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely caring and supportive throughout the process.”

Beth offers an incredible service and truly takes the time to get to know each couple, ensuring the ceremony feels completely personal and meaningful. Portia ended up being the perfect officiant for us. She delivered such a beautiful and heartfelt (and at times nerdy and hilarious!) ceremony that had many of our guests assuming she was a close friend or family member.
