From the owner: HELLO! My name is Carmen Lane. I am a wedding officiant, a non-denominational minister ordained by…read moreUniversal Life Church Monastery. I am happy to provide a simple and loving ceremony for any loving couple. Maybe you are pressed for time and need a quick "no-frills" elopement. Or maybe you have a special wedding venue already booked and you just need an officiant. Or maybe you want an intimate wedding ceremony in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Whatever you have in mind, let me know and I'll see what I can do to help you. I specialize in impromptu and last minute ceremonies! ​ Pacific Northwest weddings don't need to be complex religious ceremonies, and a cold public courthouse isn't your only wedding alternative. You deserve to have your wedding ceremony exactly as you want it, formal or informal, with or without all the hoopla.

We can't say enough good things about Kristen. We hired her for the 6 month checklist, day of…read morecoordination, and the for the option for Wedding Concept and Aesthetic Design. She gave us checklists of things we needed to do. Then we met or spoke on the phone at the end of each month to find out the status of our "to do's". We seriously had no stress throughout the planning process. We sent her Pinterest pictures of what we envisioned and she made it happen. She did so much behind the scenes to make our dreams a reality. For one of our meetings, we met at a coffee shop and she had a whole mock up of our tables set up! Including the linens, plates, flowers, etc! Our wedding couldn't have gone any better. There was no stress leading up to the wedding and no stress the day of. It was magical. Throughout the whole process, Kristen was so sweet and thoughtful, making sure everything was just the way we wanted. She really treated us like we were friends. She was always available via email, text, and phone for when we had questions. All of our guests said this was the best wedding they'd ever been to. Our vendors were impressed with how smooth everything went. Many of them told us that our wedding was the most fun and stress free wedding they had ever been to. Really, Kristen will make your wedding dreams come true. This review still can't even do enough justice for how AMAZING she is!

Since my fiance and I live out of state in Arizona we really wanted someone who was there all the time, without putting that burden on my family. I asked for some recommendations from some friends and found Kristen. :) That is where our magical story begins.. Kristen is organized, always on time, the sweetest thing, and makes you feel like instant friends. I was so happy we had her because like all weddings, we had some issues come up with the venue and she was all over it, the day of.. if there were any issues I had no idea about them. She kept us on budget, was always available to chat, kept us on schedule, gave us to-do's every month, and then made sure to bother me when I didn't get them done. =) I was a bride that planning a wedding was completely overwhelming for me, Kristen made the process so smooth and easy. She walked us through every step and came along to any meeting I requested she be at. She decorated our head table, which turned out gorgeous! As well as our guestbook table, seating card table, and gift table. If your looking for someone to get along with and just enjoy the process she is your gal! For our vow renewal I will be hiring her again!

Ava was incredible. We saw her on wedding wire and looked at each and every review. We decided to…read morepick her because she had a perfect score and just looked like a real person. We were right. She was in constant contact with us and went out of her way to make sure we had the most perfect ceremony. She is very down to earth. The way she dictates her words are sincere and loving. I'd suggest Ava to preform your wedding. Love, Joseph & Daniel

Ava was absolutely wonderful! We looked through a lot of officiants in the Seattle area and after…read moremeeting Ava at a mutual location (we live in Issaquah and she lives in Tacoma), we fell in love with her. Everything about her was just welcoming and inviting - very personal and genuine passion of what she does. Her rates are more than reasonable at almost half the price as most. She helped create a ceremony with us that fitted our own style and was open to personalizing some of her own stuff to meet what we liked as well. She attended our rehearsal as well and helped everything come together the day of our actual wedding. We recommend Ava over and over again and feel like we will keep communication with her even beyond our wedding!

With her unique combination of sagacity, humor and love, Leslie Davenport helped us to craft a…read morewedding ceremony that was beautiful, transformative, and sublime. A master of ritual performance, she provided a perfect combination of guidance, structure, and an appreciation for spontaneity, expressing the unique alchemy of our union while at the same time honoring our traditions and shared cultural heritage. Her evocation of the ancestors (softly calling out the names of departed loved ones, accented by the delicate chime of bell) was especially moving. Leslie helped us to devise rituals, symbolically expressing the interweaving our out two lives in a way that accentuated our marriage as a right of passage and a form spiritual initiation. A perfect combination of solemnity and celebration, she helped us create a deeply moving and soulful experience for our families, our friends and us. With great appreciation we offer Leslie Davenport our highest recommendation as a wedding officiant. Brian Dietrich & Jay Redd

My husband and I were very fortunate to have come upon reviews of Leslie's services on another…read moresite. All the other couples gushed over Leslie, and we knew we had to contact her. I emailed her immediately as our wedding was less than two months away. We were also getting married on a Monday and hoped she would be able to accommodate this random day of the week. She was quick to reply and mentioned she has a teaching obligation on Mondays in San Francisco, but would try to see what she could work out. In the mean time we set up an initial meeting via Skype. At the time we were living in Washington DC. We were nervous at first, but Leslie's warmth set us at ease and it soon felt like we were chatting with an old friend. She explained her process and mentioned that she could help us customize our ceremony how ever we'd like. For us the ceremony is the most important part of any wedding day. We knew right away that Leslie was the one help us create something that we would remember for the rest of our lives. She emailed her guide/workbook for us to look over. It took us through the typical ceremony options, including all the necessary legal stuff plus special notations where we could customize and add fun bits. The guide was extremely helpful as we hadn't the foggiest idea of how the sequence of a ceremony should go. We took a few days to going over the workbook coming up with ideas and questions for our next meeting. At this point we were unsure of Leslie availability, but within a few days we got the green light!! Yay! In our second Skype meeting we went through the workbook, questions, and our ideas. We finally met with her in person the day before our wedding to go over final details. We didn't have a ceremony rehearsal so we met at this funky little spot for tea. It was a wonderful and calming experience for my husband and I to break away from the wedding guests and just relax and chat with her!! Leslie's presence is warm and inviting. Her delivery is soothing, and professional. It was so much more than "i do", and "kiss the bride". We were able to included a quote and poem from Dr Seuss, plus one of our favorite Led Zeppelin songs that was read by my husbands eldest sister. We had an afternoon ceremony that took place at Muir Beach Overlook on a breezy September day in front of 24 our closest family and friends. It really felt perfect...if "I do" say so myself. I cannot recommend Leslie enough. If you're looking for someone to preform a memorable and meaningful ceremony she is the one. She will care about you and guide you in creating a one of a kind moment that will represent each of you. I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. Do yourself a favor and call Leslie. You'll be glad you did.
