About Me

HEY THERE LOVERS

This is what I will bring to celebrate the heck out of you two.

There is just something about the anticipation, the build up, and those light-hearted, unplanned moments leading to belly laughs and wide smiles, resulting in the most perfect imperfect ceremony. You know the ones. The energy is high. Guests are engaged and loving every moment. You and your lover are feeling all the feels and relishing in the moment.

And I am bloody here for it.

If you have found yourself here, I’d take a guess that you would like a fun, light-hearted, personable ceremony that is simply not boring. A ceremony that takes all the beautiful tid bits of you as individuals and a couple, and is perfectly woven into a unique story that is memorable, engaging, and genuine.

And guess what lovers, it’s me!

My name is Lauren, or Lorri to those close to me (couples included of course) and I am an Adelaide based Marriage Celebrant who writes the most epic of love stories. I am a people person who thrives off human connection, and having always had a creative side, I love the fact that every day I get to legally hitch a couple of lovers and have the best damn time whilst doing so.

What you see here is what you get. I am professional, organised, and froth over attention to detail BUT I am equally silly, loud, funny, and will always be the first one to laugh at myself. Naturally, I don’t mind tapping on the keyboard to put together some beautiful words about you two, followed by dropping some beats on the mic in front of you and your favourite people.

As your Celebrant, I pride myself in guiding you not only through the legal process, but offering endless amounts of knowledge and out of the box ideas that will inspire you to share all the epic deets of your relationship, so I can put together a ceremony that reflects you to a tee. This may be a roller coaster ride of high energy and excitement, a satisfying slow burn that goes through all those poignant life moments over many years, or the simplicity of finding the person that makes feels like home. What matters most is that it feels true to you.

I truly believe that the ceremony sets the tone for the day and the best way for this to happen is to create connection. Connection between the two of you, your guests, and everyone in between, creates an energy like no other, where everyone is genuinely excited to see where this story will go, whilst enjoying themselves in the process.

Trust me, when this connection occurs, the energy lifts, the vibes are high, and you will always remember how you felt in that exact moment. And as you are introduced as the newlyweds, you will feel elated, with your guests walking away saying “that was one of the best ceremonies I have seen, it’s like they were married by a friend!”

How lucky am I that I get to be a part of that? Truly magical.

Consider me your professional cheerleader, your hype gal, and the one who will always be there to offer guidance, lend a helping hand or just be your soundboard when you need.

So, let’s get you two married!

  • Annie and Ash

    Before we met Lauren, I was getting a bit worried that we wouldn’t find a celebrant that we instantly clicked with. But then came along Marry Me Lorri.

    After a lovely chat with Lauren over Zoom (thanks COVID), we just knew she was the gal for us. We bonded over renovations, Harry Potter and emo music, but I’m sure Lauren could find a way to relate to just about anyone.

    She is fun, witty and kind, not to mention an amazing celebrant. A bunch of guests commented on the ceremony saying it was the best they’d seen, and I have no doubt that’s because of Lauren’s storytelling ability and warm personality. She’s also super organised, which is very helpful when you have a wedding to plan! Thank you so much for everything Lauren. We bloomin’ love ya!

  • Lauren and Josh

    100000% recommend! Our ceremony was the highlight of our day and kicked off the start of a great night. From the minute we had our first meeting with Lauren, we knew we had made the right decision!

    The way Lauren delivered our ceremony brought character, love, emotion and laughter. As a couple it was important to us to have guest engagement, and our guests are still talking about our ceremony!

    We couldn’t be more grateful to have someone as vibrant as Lauren a part of our special day and our ceremony will be ever so special to us for the rest of our lives!

  • Kirsten and Nick

    What can I even begin to say about the absolutely fabulous, Marry Me Lorri. We got married in September 2021, and have been putting off the review only because we had no idea how to convey how amazing and special our day was because of Lauren. She’s a star, stop reading and book her immediately.

    From the very first email we received from Lauren, we knew she’d be the best person to help us celebrate and make this thing legal. She was an integral part of our #dreamteam. She really took the time to understand us, and we enjoyed the little meetings and check-ins on the way. This meant that on our special day, it was like seeing a friend who knew us so well.

    Lauren’s ceremony was truly something else. It was so special hearing our story through her eyes. It isn’t something we usually talk about, but it was so special and not a dry eye in the house. We both absolutely loved our day, and it all started with a ceremony that was absolutely perfect for us.

    Thank you Lauren, you’re amazing at what you do. We can’t thank you enough. You are not one of our “suppliers”, you have felt and will continue to be a dear friend.

  • Samantha and Joff

    Lauren was the most fun, beautiful, and amazing celebrant we could have ever asked for. From our very first meeting it was like catching up for a drink with a friend.

    Lauren made the whole process so easy and fun for us, from the questionnaire right through to the wedding day. We had so many compliments on the day and of how amazing our celebrant was. Our ceremony was fun and full of laughs. Thank you so much for everything you did for us.

    You are the absolute best. Love from the Armstrongs.

  • Mads and Alex

    Lorri is a one of a kind person. Upon meeting her for the first time it was super clear that not only is she an absolutely wedding whiz, but she is kind, bubbly, and a hilarious person. She made our ceremony feel so special and kept both of our nerves at ease. Many of our guests commented how great Lorri was and we 100% agree. Lorri has the magic touch and both my husband and I couldn’t recommend a better person!

  • Nicole and Sam

    We were so happy to have found Lauren. From the beginning, there was no question she was our celebrant. A little look towards my partner was enough for us to lock her in that first day! She is organised, easygoing, positive, and helpful! She was able to answer all our questions in the lead-up to the big day!

    But the ceremony is where we were really blown away. She was able to tell our story in a way that felt so genuine to us that we couldn’t believe we’d only met her 10 months prior with two meetings. Our guests were gushing about our ceremony all afternoon, and we felt just the same. It felt personalised, genuine, and perfect for us.

    We cannot thank you enough - highly recommend!

  • Kelly and Jack

    Meeting Lauren the first time we knew within minutes that she was the right person to marry us. The friendly, happy, and open personality made us feel like we were friends instantly. She has answered every question, followed up every missing detail, and provided guidance and encouragement on every and any finer detail. She took over a decade of material and turned it into a beautiful highlight reel that got many wet eyes around the room.

    It was a privilege having Lauren as our guide, we will always appreciate everything she did for our wedding and cherish her telling of our story forever.

  • Jas and Jay

    Lauren is the most beautiful woman! She was recommended to us by a friend and from the moment we met her we knew she had to be a part of our day. Her big smile and open arms for a hug made it feel like she was a lifelong friend of ours. Our ceremony was everything we wanted.. Fun, laid back, untraditional and we received so many compliments on the way she told our story. “That was the best ceremony I’ve been too”, “Is Lauren a friend of yours? It’s as though she was there when you met” was among some of the feedback we received. She made the planning process and day a breeze. We will certainly be recommending Lauren to EVERYONE that gets engaged from now!

  • Jessica and Ethan

    All I can say is, Lauren is amazing at what she does.

    Out of all the things you have to plan for, for a wedding, a celebrant was one of the things I knew little about. Lauren was recommended to me by a good friend, and I am so grateful she did, because Lauren was everything i could have asked for.

    Not only is she a fantastic human, she really helped with the understanding of the whole process and made it so easy in the lead up and on the day! Everything was perfect!

    Lauren is also just such a vibe, so easy to talk to and so much fun on the day. She has thought of the perfect way to make the ceremony not only personal and unique and easy, which I dont know about everyone else, but with wedding planning thats a huge tick for me!

    If youre looking for the most wonderful celebrant who absolutely puts her heart into your special day, you dont need to look any further than Marry Me Lorri!

  • Simone and Jack

    Lauren is incredible! She made our wedding ceremony so special. Jack and I got married in January and we had actually booked another Celebant. However about a month out we found out she was unable to do our service and Lauren stepped in. I think it was fate! When we met Lauren we just clicked. Lauren made our service more than anything we could have wished for. She took the time to really learn our story. She’s passionate, funny, reliable and just the greatest person.

    We had so many of our guests comment on how fantastic the service was. This truly is thanks to Lauren. She was always available, nothing was too hard for her and I feel very grateful for everything she did for us. There are no words to truly describe how amazing Lauren is. My best friend is getting married next January and Lauren is now marrying them because they witnessed how fantastic she is. This speaks for itself. Thanks for making our day what it was.

  • Mitchell and Knick

    Lauren was everything we could have hoped for in a celebrant and more! She is super organised, helpful, compassionate and most of all FUN! From the get go Lauren provides everything you could possibly need and is super responsive to any questions or concerns. The way that Lauren took our simple answers to questions and created our in depth love story for the ceremony was incredible!

    Lauren also helped us feel super comfortable about the whole ceremony. She thinks of every tiny detail (even things we didn’t consider) and once we had our rehearsal with her, we were completely at ease about the whole process.

    On the day, the ceremony was even better than we could have imagined! Lauren even built in a surprise for us that went so well and made our ceremony even more special. The ceremony was honestly our favourite part of our entire day and so many of guests commented that they really enjoyed the ceremony and thought it was so much fun.

    If you are looking for a celebrant, 100% recommend meeting with Lauren and you won’t be disappointed

  • Taylah and Sam

    Lauren did the most amazing job as our celebrant! Our first meeting with her felt like it was a catchup with an old friend, she is so bubbly and fun! Our ceremony ran so smoothly and she put together the most perfect story for us.

    10000000% recommend Lauren to any couples looking for a fun, bubbly and energetic celebrate - thank you so so much Lorri!

  • Simone and Matt

    Lauren married us in the most perfect ceremony recently. We were so lucky to find the perfect person to help us officiate our wedding!

    Our first meeting was like catching up with a friend we’d had for years! Lauren is warm, passionate, friendly and goes above and beyond to fill your ceremony with extra love which gets you right in the feels. There was no question unanswered and communicating with her was so easy. The resources she provided helped us so much in writing our vows.

    Lauren got to know us really quickly and used that knowledge to personalise our ceremony nicely. We had so many comments about how gorgeous our ceremony was and the story and words Lauren put together took it to another level. Thank you so much Lauren!

  • Emily and Nick

    Lauren is an extremely warm, helpful and organised celebrant who loves to curate a pefect ceremony for you and your partner. She does a terrific job listening and learning about how you envision your ceremony to be, and provides helpful support and guidance through the whole process. The formal aspects are dealt with smoothly by Lauren, and she makes sure the fun parts of getting married are always front and centre. I am so pleased we had Lauren as our celebrant. A true professional that does it all with a big smile.

  • Karli and Anthony

    If you’re reading these reviews it’s probably because you’re getting married soon and wondering if Lauren is legit.

    One. Congratulations! Two. Send Lauren a message to have a chat now. Trust me. Do it right now!

    Lauren married my husband and I in April and was absolutely wonderful. She absolutely is the ray of sunshine she looks on her socials, and made the ceremony super fun and enjoyable. We felt so calm in her presence and knew that she was there for us on the days. You will be thankful that you met her.

    Thank you for everything Lauren!
