About Me
I recently moved to Edmonton, Alberta.
I'm into my seventh year of being a professional wedding officiant. I feel it's the best job in the whole world.
​
I'm also a Funeral celebrant.
A perfect mom (just ask me), a lover of gardening, travelling and pretty much all girlie things.
​
I am also very much available for destination weddings. Especially when it is winter here :)

In Review
2023
I've just completed my 7th wedding season as a Marriage Commissioner. Whoop Whoop
The couple who invited 12 people to the wedding and ended up having about 112 guests.
Met many groomsmen who were hard to keep quiet during rehearsals, grandmas who were flower girls, ring-bearers dressed as bears, and a few brides who are now dear friends.
A rainbow wedding dress.
A couple who flew in from the US....who wanted to elope here and I got to secretly include some of their friends.
A handsome musician marrying his very loving husband.
Grooms coming to the wedding by tractors.
The best (maybe not according to the bride)..... proposal ever.
3 grooms who cried so much we had to stop the ceremony for a bit.
I had some very private weddings with very sad back stories. Had some very proud and emotional parents.
The groom with Asperger Syndrome.....Being able to tell his bride the words that he struggled to tell her directly.
All the weddings that almost got rained on this year.
A very wonderful theme this summer..... chill brides!!!! It was really funny seeing the grooms panicking more. No rings were forgotten and no wedding started really late. Phew.
Occasionally I charge nothing for my services. This year it was for a couple whose original wedding came and went. Only to find out that their "commissioner" was a fraud. It was a very devastating situation. All is good now.
I have loved getting to know people's hearts and learning what makes them happy.
Thank you for sharing your stories and for trusting me to create a ceremony all about you.
I really am blessed to have the best seat in the house while being in some of the most amazing areas in Alberta.
​
A huge thank you to all those who hired me, recommended me, photographed or filmed me.
​
Sorry I picked on a few of you
(not really).

When the bride and groom both wear Fluevog Shoes.....OMG!!! We were just meant to be together.
~~I'll love you every step of the way~~
Laurie made the day so special! We had all our 150 guests telling us how personal and endearing our officiant was. Laurie took the time to “dig up” background stories on us, she was humourous, patient and really encouraged us to just breathe and take our time. Great advice! We sure did enjoy our long awaited special day. Thanks to Laurie and her attentiveness, we will always suggest using her for any services she performs.
Deb & Avi
Thank you so much for everything Laurie, you were so wonderful and we loved having you.
Marie & Tom
Laurie is a fantastic officiant. We couldn't have had anyone better! She takes the effort to learn our love stories and personalize it in an intimate way on the big day. Our wedding ceremony was all about us and so heartfelt, and a big part of that was thanks to Laurie's special way of facilitating that. Thank you for making our day so special! :) - Chris & Nelushi
Laurie was amazing to work with! From our rehearsal dinner to our ceremony Laurie made sure we always felt comfortable and at ease. She made our wedding ceremony so special , personal and stress free. We received a ton of compliments after the ceremony. We couldn’t be happier to have chosen Laurie for our big day. We would highly recommend to anyone :) Jenna & Ronnie
I have known and loved Laurie for many years now - when I found out she was starting her journey as a marriage commissioner I told her that one day she would be marrying me and my future husband. That day finally came in July, 2023. I could not have asked for anyone better to share our special day with. We absolutely loved the personal details during the ceremony! We laughed, we cried, and we laughed some more. Every person I spoke to that day RAVED about Laurie and how amazing she is. She made us feel so relaxed & at ease and really embodied who we are in the ceremony. I cannot recommend her enough!!

(My friend Kayla!!!! Who I so adore)Laurie
Was a perfect day in our eyes. With no rehearsal just a go with the flow ceremony Laurie couldn't have done a better job. She was fun, humorous, and made all of us feel very comfortable. She completely did as we asked of her and made our day the most special to us. Her pre-prep work was detailed and everything was done for us making our day so simple. Thanks Laurie your the best!
Denise and Greg
We are so happy that we had Laurie
as part of our special day.
From the moment we met her,
we knew she was the Officiant we wanted,
so we didn't even bother
meeting with anyone else.
She is so kind, funny
and absolutely lovely to work with.
She made our ceremony fun,
light hearted and unforgettable.
We are so grateful for how amazing
she was not only on the day of
but as we got to know her
the almost 2 years leading up to it.
She puts together your love story with anecdotes from family members,
ourselves and some of her own words
and turns it into a beautiful storytelling.
She truly cares about the couples she works with and our guests could not stop raving about her.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much Laurie!
C&T
Our experience was amazing
she made the whole ceremony
leading up to it
nd the day of a dream.
She was so knowledgeable
and helped us plan
and have a special day we will never forget. The story she put together off questions
she asked was excellent
brought me to tears of happiness.
I would recommend her a million times over
as she is great at what she does.
Thanks so much for making myself
and now husband so happy and comfortable.
Denise and Chris
We had Laurie do our wedding ceremony.
It was all part of a murder mystery party. Laurie's professionalism
and attention to detail is amazing.
She made us feel so comfortable,
the laughs, the humor,
the stories she added were perfect.
I highly recommend her to anyone
and everyone who is getting married.
Trent and Stephanie.
~~being asked to do a surprise wedding at a murder mystery party. omg.....the best! so much fun.~~
Working with Laurie was amazing. To start, she was very responsive and kind over email, giving this type A bride much reassurance. When we met with her to discuss our ceremony it felt like we were talking to an old friend. She spoke with our close friends and family to get information to build us a ceremony that was completely personalized… and hilarious. She also ensured that our rehearsal ran smoothly and made sure every person knew exactly what their responsibilities were. Overall she made us feel very comfortable and taken care of. I had many guests tell me that our ceremony was the nicest ceremony they’ve ever been to, thanks to Laurie. We wouldn’t change a thing and could not recommend her enough!
Chelsea + Ben
We were lucky to have had Laurie as our wedding officiant. She was very supportive, patient, and organized, and did so much to make sure the ceremony went perfectly. She had lots of good ideas for us to pick from, but made sure we knew it was our day, and that we could tailor it how we preferred. The custom-made wedding story was a really cool touch that helped to make our wedding one of a kind. We would highly recommend Laurie to anyone looking for an officiant!
Amy and Adam
I couldn't recommend Laurie enough. She is excellent to work with and made everything very easy for us.
It's easy to see she's very passionate about what she does.
Our ceremony went off without a hitch,
and she made it personal, sweet
and with a little humor.
She made our special day
all the more perfect!
K & C
Laurie did such a fantastic job at the ceremony! There was a level of personalization and detail that we have never encountered before. We had family members come up to us after the ceremony stating they had learned more about our personalities and relationship from Laurie's brief ceremony than they had from knowing us our entire lives. She perfectly hit all the emotional notes from humour to somberness. It was by far the most beautiful and touching ceremony either of us had ever seen. She is affordable, and was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. We seriously can't overstate how amazing she is.
Tracey & Nick :)
