With This Ring I Thee Wedd

When I was first researching officiants, it became stressful because so many were already booked, but I am so glad I came across Leora's information. When my husband and I first met with her, we felt at ease, a level of comfort. We automatically knew we wanted to work with her. She is kind, funny, attentive and every other possbile positive adjective. Choosing Leora to officiant our wedding was the best choice. It was beautiful and we forever thank her for her services.

Leora is a wonderful and helpful officiant. She made our ceremony special.

Leora was excellent! Very helpful with all the small details a nervous bride could leave out. thank you so much!!!

From our first meeting with Leora, we knew that we had made a good choice. She has such a kind and loving the spirit that we were able to pick up on immediately. She helped us figure out ways to have our children play a role in the ceremony. Everyone thought that the sand ceremony was beautiful and that Leora's words during it were beautiful! I could not be happier with our ceremony. My sister-in-law recommended Leora to us and at the ceremony we found out that she'd also married our close friends. Such a small world! Everything was perfect and we are very pleased that she could be a part of our special day!!!

It was a pleasure to work with Mrs. Leora!!! She performed our per-martial counseling and our wedding ceremony and did a WONDERFULLY AMAZING job with both. She was very down to earth and easy to work with. Mrs. Leora, has an aura that makes you feel comfortable immediately. My husband and I could not have picked a better officiant for our big day.. She made everything so simple.. We are sad that the big day is over but blessed that we were able to meet a wonderful person like Mrs. Leora.

Thank you for making our day SPECTACULAR...
Always,
LaMonte & Jenny Creavalle

Leora was a joy to work with. She is truly a wonderful person and she did a great job as the officiant for our wedding. She worked with us to create a unique ceremony that was personalized and not particularly religious. She had many good tips to offer about weddings in general (not just the ceremony). She advised us on how to get our marriage license and even picked up our marriage license for us at the DC courthouse. She was extremely helpful for the rehearsal and made everything run smoothly and easily. I would highly recommend Leora to anyone looking for a wedding officiant.

Leora is AMAZING!! While we didn't use her to officiate our actual wedding (my husband's mother did it) we did ask her to do our pre-marital counseling. It was probably the best thing we did. She was so comfortable to talk to; we both felt like she really listened and help us talk through a lot.

Leora was VERY FLEXIBLE regarding meeting times. She was GREAT!

When we first got engaged, we interviewed several officiants for our wedding as this is one of the most important and intimate parts of any wedding. I knew very early on after a few e-mail correspondences with Leora that she was meant to officiant our wedding.
She met us for coffee to ask a few questions before drafting a few options of the ceremony script. We went back and forth via e-mail editing the scripts until we had the final script. I really felt like Leora paid attention to our lives and that truly showed during our ceremony. I can't count on both hands how many of our guests complimented Leora's work during our ceremony - many of them went up to her themselves to say what a wonderful job she did and what a unique ceremony we had.
I would highly recommend Leora to fellow brides and grooms...if I could do my wedding all over again, I would hire her in a heartbeat again!

Leora was an absolute pleasure to work with. She has a very calm and professional nature that can definitely put this nervous bride and groom at ease. We met with her a few times before the wedding to finalize the ceremony. She listened carefully, and patiently, to our requests for the ceremony and offered excellent ideas and suggestions to help us create our wedding vision. Leora was definitely a star at the wedding. After the ceremony several guests mentioned to us what a lovely job Leora did officiating the wedding. I would HIGHLY recommend her services to anyone looking for an officiant.

Leora's services for the ceremony were exceptional! Her voice was clear, genuine, and she definitely kept us and the audience captive. On top of all that, Leora is very sweet with a warm spirit. We were immediately drawn to her during the initial meeting and she exceeded our expectations. We would recommended Leora to anyone looking for an awesome officiant!

Wow, there is sooo much to say about Leora and all of it is GREAT! I found Leora online since I didn't belong to a church, nor did my Hubby to Be. I liked that she could cater to all different religions and backgrounds. We met at a convenient location for a consultation. (She lives in VA, I work in MD, so she was kind enough to meet me rather than make me do the drive!). When I met Leora I fell in love. She loves what she does and she has a passion for it. I was convinced she would be the best fit for my wedding because she was attentive, bright, well-spoken and professional, and she has a great positive energy. Most of all, she listens. She captured everything I said in the best ceremony I could have asked for! She worked with me to come up with a great service and customize it to honor the people that my Hubby and I cared for most. She felt like family! Everyone was impressed with her; including my hubby and guests! She also did a fantastic job with the rehearsal. It should have been run by the wedding planner, but Leora stepped up and compensated where my "newby" wedding planner lacked (just about everywhere!). Everything Leora does she does with the utmost professionalism and kindness! She goes above and beyond and I can't thank her enough for making my wedding day so much more special than hiring just 'any officiant'. Finally, her rates are fairly aligned with the market rates for officiants despite the extra TLC and phenomenal service that she offers! Thank you Leora!

Leora was fantastic!!! She was a great listener and created a great ceremony for us that really reflected the way we feel about one another. She helped include my husband's child in the ceremony and some traditions in the Peace Corps country that I served. It was a beautiful day that had a lot of sentimental additions to it. Thanks, Leora!!!

Leora was a wonderful officiant! You could tell that she really enjoys her job! During our first meeting she was very attentive and she definitely got a full understanding of our love. She provided many options for readings and scriptures. She also was very helpful during the rehearsal, in which she was very detail oriented. During the ceremony she seemed like she had known us forever and just blended in! I really appreciated her presence and my nerves were put at ease with her around!

Leora is quite simply....AMAZING! She met with my fiance and I almost a year out from our wedding as I wanted the "perfect" person to deliver our ceremony and was prepared to meet with several officiants. However, upon minutes of meeting Leora, I knew that she was the woman I wanted! She was genuinely interested in getting to know us and learn our vision for the ceremony. Before I knew it 2 + hours had gone by.

The days leading up to our wedding, Leora always "checked in" on how the planning was going and provided ample suggestions and recommendations for the ceremony order, vows, readings and other additions. Furthermore, she was encouraging with incorporating our own ideas.

At the rehearsal, she was very aware of the raw emotions of a bride and groom and supported us every step of the way. Initially, when she asked us to say our vows at the rehearsal I was caught off guard. However, it was exact thing that I didn't even know that I needed. I was quite emotional during the rehearsal which I didn't anticipate and it curbed the tears the day of the wedding. :)

During the wedding, she was supportive of my nervous soon-to-be husband and eliminated a lot of the anger that he felt when the ceremony began late due to the late arrival of our shuttle. Leora was articulate, expressive, and delivered our ceremony PERFECTLY. Also, she improvised a very meaningful statement when my groom accidentallly over filled our unity sand!!!

Leora graciously stayed through our cocktail hour making her rounds and being personable with our guests. Several of our guests even commented on how "sweet" and "genuine" she was! Overall, my husband and I are VERY pleased with our decision to choose Leora and I promise that you will be as well!

Our day was made so much more special by Leora's kindness, beautiful ceremony, and helpful suggestions.

Our wedding day wouldn't have been the same without Leora. We held our wedding on a Sunday and our church was unable to send us a minister to officiate, so we needed to hire an officiant instead.

We met with Leora initially several months prior to the wedding and she was very thorough in getting a feel for us as a couple and our individual personalities to bring a personal feel to her services on your day. At the wedding, guests assumed we had a personal relationship with her because of the obvious comfort level between she and me and my fiance during the ceremony.

In sum, Leora is super-organized, prompt, meticulous, poised, eloquent, and responsive--a must for me with respect to vendors, but she is truly exceptional. She was very patient and helpful in planning the ceremony (and leading our rowdy rehearsal), but without even a hint of being judgmental or pushy--she strives to give you YOUR perfect day! She definitely delivered for us and I couldn't have been happier. I would give her my highest recommendation to any couple.

Leora personalized our ceremony to suit us and set the tone for our special day. We approached her the week before our wedding and she was able to send us a script in a matter of days. Our friends and family could not stop praising our celebrant. Thank you

Leora is amazing! We did premarital counseling sessions with Leora, and she also performed our ceremony. She is a consummate professional, yet personable and genuine. She made our ceremony meaningful and injected the perfect amount of humor exactly when it was needed. Most importantly, Leora understands that each couple is unique and she helps you create a ceremony that is meaningful to you - she never made us feel like just another couple. We always felt like we were her number one priority.

Leora is a class act - you will not be disappointed!

Leora was a pleasure to work with, when things went array, as they sometimes do, she was calm, supportive and understanding! Thank you so much!

Leora was absolutely amazing. Choosing an officiant was very personal for us. I wanted to find someone that we really felt comfortable with and that we could possibly grow with as a couple. Leora did just that. From the moment we met her she made us feel so special. Like she genuinely cared about us as a couple. I highly, highly recommend her.

We love Leora! My fiancee and I had originally planned to interview 3 officiants, but after we met Leora, we just felt very at ease with her, and cancelled our other 2 interviews. We did not have a pastor or anyone to marry us, and at first we felt a little odd hiring someone you don't know to marry you...but that definitely changed by the time of the wedding.

One of the reasons we choose Leora was because she offered premarital counseling. My fiancee and I really didn't have any "big issues" but we are in our 30's, and I think as adults, we knew the value in just having a 3rd party talk to us about some of the things marriage would bring/change in our lives. We really really found the counseling sessions beneficial - my fiancee wanted to do more than 4 (this from an active duty military man!) because he just thought it was a productive way to talk about the past and the future and the up's and the down's of our relationship. It was definitely a good investment in each other to sit down with Leora once a month leading up to our wedding.

As an officiant - Leora was equally wonderful! She provided us several different ideas for our ceremony and we cut and pasted what we liked out of each one in to a ceremony that fit us. She had a great little reading about dogs that fit our own love of dogs really well. I had no problem getting in touch with her via e-mail, she came to the rehearsal and made sure everyone knew where to go, when to go, and what to do. She was flexible and handled changes easily - because we had a few things flex over the months about how the ceremony would run(grandparents coming/then not coming; ringbearers coming/then not coming/then coming).

The day of the wedding she did a great job - well spoken, well orchestrated, but relaxed and not stuffy or formal. We had several people come up and compliment us on how much they enjoyed her and the ceremony!

One final kudos - my husband was deploying one week after we got back from our honeymoon - so we had to get our attested marriage license very quickly so we could take it to the military base and get me enrolled as a dependent. I asked Leora if she would be able to get us a copy quickly and it was not a problem. We arrived home from the honeymoon to find 2 attested copies of our marriage license in the mail from her - so the next day we were able to get me entered in to all the databases on base to make sure I'm taken care of while my husband is gone. Thank you!!

I think we both feel like we have made lifelong friends with Leora - she truly cares about the couples she get's to know and seeing us succeed.

Thank you for making our wedding day so perfect!

Leora did a great job with us. We both come from a Roman Catholic background but are now Agnostic, so we wanted a largely secular ceremony focused on love and partnership, without many references to God. We were looking for someone who would be very flexible with us on the ceremony text, and she was. She also gave us some great ideas on what we could include in the ceremony and how the structure of the ceremony usually works. She was very responsive in setting up meetings with us. We did not end up doing a rehearsal, which was something I thought at first we absolutely needed; but I realized after talking with her it was just about where people were going to stand. We did not do a rehearsal, but she talked with our bridal party before the ceremony, and everything went smoothly. Her cost is right in the range with other celebrants in the area. I highly recommend her!

Leora was very professional and courteous and did a great job at our wedding. When we first met her we knew immediately that she was the person we wanted to officate our wedding. She did a great job and we would definitely recommend her to family and friends!

My husband and I got so many compliments on Leora's service. Everyone was impressed by the wording and vows that Leora delivered. They found the ceremony fit my husband and I perfectly and that our personality was delivered through the wording. Leora worked with my husband and I, from our first meeting, to prepare a wedding script that was unique to our personality and our desires for what we considered important to our ceremony. Leora took the time to get to know my husband and I from on a personal level, from our personalities to our proposal, to our hopes for the future as a married couple. My husband and I would recommend Leora for all weddings. She is very personable and truly seems to care for the couples she is working with.

I couldn't have been more pleased with Leora. Our ceremony was exactly what we wanted. She was so pleasant to work with and I am happy we choose her. We even had a little "hitch" during our ceremony and she smoothed everything over. Our vows were beautiful and I cannot say enough nice things about Leora. She was wonderful and I am happy that we were able to celebrate our very special day with her.

Leora is amazing! She is professional and responsive. She helped us to create a great script for our beautiful wedding.

Oue wedding officiant was Leora and she was great All of my guest asked about her. After meeting with her I felt as I have know her for years. My husband to be at the time did not want to take a chance with a person i found over the Internet but after our first meeting he was hooked on Leora. I will keep in touch with her and she made my day such a special day that I will remember forever. Thanks Leora for a job well done. Mr. and Mrs Bowman.

We absolutely could not have asked for a person better suited to officiate our wedding than Leora Motley. She created a ceremony that so uniquely suited us as a couple that most of our guests thought that we had written it ourselves. She was exceptionally professional and thoughtful throughout the entire process. We feel blessed to have had her as our officiant.

-Mr. and Mrs. Kris Osborn

We worked with Leora to provide both our officiant services and our premarital counseling. We found her to be caring, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and full of humor. She took the time to get to know us and our passions, our reasons for loving each other, and she helped us to identify the areas where we need to grow as a couple. But probably most important was her ability to calm us right before the ceremony. There were small things that mattered a lot - she ran to get me a glass of ice water when I was waiting for the ceremony to start. It was a hot day and I wouldn't have thought of water on my own. During the ceremony, she helped to calm my husband, as he was emotional and just needed someone to slow things down for a minute so he could gather himself. Leora notices you as a person and what you need from her in that moment - one of the most important moments of your life. It was really special to have her as a part of it.

We had a fantastic experience working with Leora for our wedding ceremony. Leora really took the time to get to know us, listen to our ideas, and develop a beautiful ceremony that was unique, thoughtful, and personal. She went above and beyond all of our expectations and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

Leora was a fantastic officient and we couldn't have asked for anything more. She worked with us to personalize and customize our ceremony to exactly what we wanted. She offered advise and was very accommodating. We loved working with her!!! I HIGHLY recommend her for any couple getting married!!

We looked at a few officiants to perform our wedding and we really liked Leora's style. When we met her in person, we knew we wanted to her for the job! She was very personable, had great ideas and suggestions and was open to additional ideas as well. She put together a wonderful service for us on our wedding day! We had one minor glitch and she was able to put it together with basically 30 minutes notice. A true professional and we would definitely recommend her services to anyone!

Leora was the first person we called about being our officiant, and we are so glad we did! She did a wonderful job and we couldn't have picked anyone better. She was very responsive, helpful, professional but warm and enthusiastic, had great suggestions when we wanted them, but also provided ample room for us to construct the ceremony we wanted. She could charge 3 times what she does and it would still be a great value! Plus, she proved that she can handle whatever your wedding may throw at her-- including, in our case, a dog licking her leg during the ceremony! I'd recommend Leora's officiating services to friends, relatives, or perfect strangers.

We absolutely LOVED Leora!!! What a gem!!! She made our day extra special!!! Every single wedding guest commented about how great she was and how special she made our service!!! I would recommend her to ANYONE!!!!

You will not find anyone better. Leora is wonderful!!!!

Leora was absolutely amazing! She is the total professional but at the same time warm and caring. I could not have asked for anyone better to perform my marriage ceremony! She was on time, prepared, and simply amazing! If you are looking for someone to perfom your ceremony Leora is the one! Thank you Leora for everything!

Leora was the first officiant we met with and we knew right away that she was the right fit for us. She worked with us to come up with the perfect vows and ceremony. Through multiple meetings and premarital counseling sessions she really got to know my wife and I as individuals and forged a personal connection that shone through on our wedding day. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, dedicated officiant.

Leora prepared and performed a totally dream ceremony for us!

We had a very challenging environment with our outdoor ceremony. Leora impressed us with how she calmed everyone down, put everyone in their places and created such beautiful moments for us all to enjoy!
Her voice carried so well, that everyone thought she was the only one with the microphone .....
Not to mention that she was the first one to arrive at the site!
I also could not appreciate more the personal touches she thought of for this ceremony.
She responded to every request prior to the wedding and always had an idea.
We ended up incorporated international touches, as we both come from different cultural backgrounds. We had a very special personal moment and have some keepsakes from the ceremony.
We are very very greatful for everything Leora have done for us.

Katya and Albert

We were so fortunate to have Leora officiate our wedding. Prior to the wedding, she took time to learn about us as individuals and a couple. She guided us through our big day with care, while subtly addressing details we hadn't otherwise known to consider. Her professional demeanor, attentive nature, and sincerity are a true blessing for such a special occasion. She will always be a part of our memories.

I can't say enough how thankful we were to have you there.Thank you for everything. Especially, thank you for the typed copy of our ceremony.Really left an impression with our guests!

Leora was perfect!

Leora was absolutely wonderful and I would HIGHLY recommend her! She came as a recommendation from a friend and we feel so lucky to have had such a wonderful wedding ceremony! My (now) husband and I are an inter-faith couple and therefore did not want our wedding to have an overally religious feel to it one way or the other. We met with Leora, explained what we wanted and she created the perfect scripting that integrated everything we wanted - down to the breaking of the glass which was important for my husband. Leora was excellent to work with all around...I really cannot say enough about her!

Couldnt ask for anything better. Perfect.

Leora was tremendous and exceptional, and truly made our short notice, intimate wedding feel classy, and a sincere experience. She was very responsive to all my calls and emails, and even tried to help me nail down a ceremony location. She knew the marriage license registration protocol backwards and forwards, so there was no question that we were in good hands. She said she would arrive at 4:20, and she was there on the dot. She allowed us to customize our script, and delivered the vows with such presence, with a beautiful strong voice, that most of our audience was left in tears. I can't say how easy it was to work with her, and the fact that she made this happen for us, with only 3 weeks notice. I completely recommend Leora, and would be glad to provide further reference if needed.

I cannot say enough kind words about Leora. She made the ceremony perfect for us. Her kind words and the way she spoke during the ceremony made our wedding so memorable. She is very intelligent, kind and easy going. She also has a sense of humor. My husband was able to converse with her before I arrived at the ceremony and he said she made him feel so comfortable and he throughly enjoyed talking to her. She put him at ease and myself when I arrived. I would definetly recommend her to anyone.

We are so glad we chose Leora to be with us on our wedding day! From our first meeting through the wedding day, Leora made the process fun and enjoyable for us. She offered great material to help us craft a memorable ceremony. She was also very helpful as we incorporated a tradition from my husband's background into our ceremony. Leora put us both at ease, and everyone had wonderful words to say about her. We would definitely recommend Leora to anyone looking for the perfect wedding officiant. We couldn't have been more pleased and we plan to stay in touch with Leora.

My husband and I knew after a brief conference call that we would be foolish not to hire Ms. Motley to officiate our wedding. We were very impressed with her experience and perspectives on the importance of intimacy, family values and maintaining individualism in marriage. She was very professional and assisted us in selecting the perfect script for our ceremony. Our guests could not stop talking about how moving the words were! Choosing her to officiate our wedding was one of the best decisions we made in planning the ceremony.

She was extremely flexible and helpful.

Leora was perfect for us! She personalized our ceremony and got to know us. We never felt like we were 'just another wedding.' We have gotten so many comments that our wedding ceremony was "so...us" and that is all due to Leora. Our guests laughed and cried and all felt like they were not only part of our wedding but part of our story. Highly recommended!! Thanks, Leora :)

Leora was amazing! We met with her once before the rehearsal and wedding to talk with her about what we wanted and to get some ideas from her. She was very nice and personable and really cared about getting to know us and get some insight into our relationship. She was very helpful in selecting what we wanted in our ceremony and offered many good ideas. Our guests even commented on how great she was! I would recommend With This Ring I Thee Wedd to anyone!

We received the best officiant service that we could ever hope for! This officiant provided us with excellent communication, provided us with great suggestions and tools for pre-marriage education and counseling, gave us ideas for our vows and wedding script, provided a wonderful ceremony, and was extremely flexible with just about everything. If you are planning a wedding in the Washington DC area, I would definitely suggest using 'With This Ring I Thee Wedd' for your ceremony.

Leora was wonderful to work with. Everyone at the wedding commented on how terrific she was and what an incredible job she did. I would recommend her to anyone.

We are so glad that we chose her and got to work with her.
Gloria and Paul, June 2009

My wedding was exactly how I had imagined. With this Ring I Thee Wedd provided first class service and my husband and myself cannot rave enough about the honesty, openness, and the ability to share both our concerns and aspirations to Leora. Her ability to listen and provide honest and positive feedback was outstanding. Using her service made our wedding special and assisted us making the decision of commitment to each other, one that we have no regrets about.

I briefly scanned the reviews and I can absolutely see why Ms. Motley has all 5's!! She was the first officiant my husband and I met with and it was just the greatest blessing. She was just so warm and inviting. It felt like we had known her for years. We ended up conversing with her for about 2 hours and we knew - she was the one! She really took the time to do things the way we wanted them done, but she was also very honest about what she thought would be nice - based on her experience - and without making you feel as though she was overbearing. Ms. Motley is simply a wonderful person to know and I would reccommend her services to anyone being married!!!

Leora did a great job officiating our wedding and there was never a moment my bride and I felt uncomfortable. She had some very nice readings available to use but was flexible enough that we could include our own material instead. My wife and I are very happy that we found Leora and would recommend her to anyone in the DC Metro area.

Leora was absolutely wonderful! Through doing our premarital counseling lessons with Leora, we were fortunate enough to get to know her on a personal level, which made it that much more special that she married us. She was flexible and gave us great ideas as we created our wedding script. Leora tailored our script so that it was unique to our wedding and to our personalities. Even though the wedding is behind us, we have found a great friend in Leora and plan to keep in touch for many years to come. -Aaron & Maria

Leora is amazing! My husband and I first met Leora after she officiated our friends wedding the year before ours. We weren't even engaged but I remember thinking if/when we get married I want Leora! One of the first things I "planned" when beginning the wedding planning process was hiring Leora to officiate our wedding. We met with her to discuss ourselves and what we wanted for our wedding. Several months later she sent us ideas for the wedding script and she nailed the exact feeling we wanted for our ceremony! I was very impressed!
I really appreciated Leora during our wedding rehearsal. She was organized and helped our ceremony come together. Not to mention she forced my husband to calm down! Our wedding ceremony was perfect and we received multiple compliments on Leora from our wedding guests. I am so glad we found her and so honored that she was a part of our special day!

My husband and I met Leora and instantly liked her. We wanted to have a nonreligious ceremony that combined some aspects of our families’ ethnic heritages. She was very good at checking in with us throughout the year after we had chosen her, and she sent us several drafts about two months before the wedding, and suggested we could incorporate hand tying into the ceremony. My husband and I edited the drafts quite a bit as we were really particular about the ceremony. The only thing I can say that is not completely positive is that she didn’t seem to have the encyclopedic knowledge some officiants we had met with had of different wedding customs or readings, but we didn’t think that was such a big deal as we could look up readings easily ourselves.
On the actual wedding day, Leora came wearing our wedding colors and had printed out all the readings (and also the vows my husband and I had written for each other) so everyone who had to speak would be ready. She also added in some unscripted words after talking to members of our family, which was a really nice surprise and which I feel made the ceremony that much better. All in all, I highly recommend Leora as I feel she contributed to the intimate feeling of the ceremony, which is pretty impressive considering we only ever met her three times. She was so lovely, it just seemed like she’d known us and our families for a long time.

My husband and I were married May 14th, 2011 at the Walters Art Museum. As a non-denominational couple with friends and families in all walks of life it was important for us to find a celebrant who mirrored our beliefs. When we found Leora we were thrilled. She was eloquent, creative, professional and a beautiful person inside and out. She was prompt with her contacts and told us exactly what we needed to have completed and when to have it completed by. She gave us advice on writing our own vows (which turned out wonderfully), and she made planning the ceremony easy and fun. While she wasn't able to meet with us and the family for the rehearsal at the museum the night before the wedding due to a prior engagement, she gave us every tool we needed to make sure it was in line with what should happen the day of. The ceremony was well-versed, thoughtful, creative and exactly what we wanted (which is the most important part right?!) A huge thank you to Leora Motley for making our dreams come true that day.

Leora was great! We are an older couple and were pretty low-maintenance but she met our needs admirably and was very adept on her feet. She acknowledged and incorporated the real-life nerves and emotion of the day, and facilitated our event with grace and humanity. We were very pleased with our choice and highly reccommend!

I would highly recommend Leora for any couple in need of an officiant. She was extremely responsive whenever we had any questions or changes to the ceremony script. She has a very friendly and warm demeanor, and she had great suggestions for the readings and quotes used in our ceremony. She made us feel very comfortable from our first meeting to the wedding day.

Leora was a pleasure to work with and always willing to work with our schedules. We enjoyed our "Prepare and Enrich" sessions with Leora. We thought these sessions offered an excellent chance to talk about important issues that may come up during our marriage. We found ourselves immediately comfortable discussing important issues with Leora, and she was always professional and helpful. She was very helpful with helping us format our wedding ceremony and had a great delivery during the actual ceremony. Since some brides may be interested, Leora was professionally dressed during all our sessions with her and our wedding as well.

Leora helped us thoroughly with the language we wanted for our ceremony, and was very adaptable to our desire for a non-religious event. She met with us twice before the wedding on her own accord, and had suggestions for us, while being flexible to things we wanted adjusted. Her voice carried extremely well without a microphone at our outdoor ceremony, and we had several compliments on her officiating.

Leora served as co-officiant for our wedding. She conducted an initial interview with us, which provided good constructive criticism and pointers for the future. She made us feel very comfortable. Leora accommodated our ceremony requests, including the way we broke up the different responsibilities between the two officiants. During the ceremony, latecomers had gathered at the back of the sanctuary. She invited these guests to additional seating to the sides of the altar. She was very attentive. Overall, we were very pleased with Leora's services.

Being in our business we've heard a lot of ceremonies and Leora's officiating is a breath of fresh air! She is engaging, enthusiastic, warm and inspirational. Her officiating focused on the couple--not just a "cookie cutter" oration. We're definitely looking forward to hearing Leora's work again and would recommend her to anyone looking to add a "spark" to their ceremony!

I had the pleasure of meeting Leora at a wedding were she was the Celebrant and I was the MakeUp Artist, from there she hired me to do the MakeUp for her own wedding...she takes her work very seriously and at the same time is extremely pleasent and wonderful to deal with, I highly recommend her!
