What People Say About Reverend Lorie’s Ceremonies:

“I can’t tell you how much it meant to me to have you officiate at Chris’ and Tara’s wedding! I am so glad they chose you, much beyond the fact that you are a dear friend. As the mother of the groom, I felt your presence and presentation were so appropriate and meaningful. Your voice was clear, yet gentle and warm. You led without dominating. The various elements of the wedding ritual were each meaningful, yet blended together beautifully. We were especially touched by my dear son and wonderful daughter-in-law presenting a long-stemmed white rose and their grateful kisses to each set of parents. And the symbolic tying of the knot and your telling of its history was a wonderful way to include these two special people in the universe of marriage, its commitment and its tradition. Everything went perfectly yet seemingly without effort. You have my eternal gratitude for helping to make that day one of the happiest of my life! “
With love, Ellen Swallow”

Dear Lorie,
Thank you so much for assisting in our children’s marriage. The ceremony was absolutely one of the more spiritual weddings I have witnessed. Fellow Jewish family members were extremely moved as well.
You will always have a special place in our hearts as we remember this day for the rest of our lives.
Thanks again,
Joanne Main
