Hi, I am Laura
… affectionately known as Looie by most.
I’m a Marriage Celebrant, devoted to creating heartfelt and meaningful moments for couples both near and far. I am based in Newcastle and available worldwide or wherever your love story takes us.
I craft ceremonies that are deeply authentic at heart, expressed through a modern, romantic and elegant lens - with just the right amount of fun, for couples who value connection and a true sense of occasion.
I became inspired to be a Marriage Celebrant after my own wedding, when my favourite things collided: connecting with people, sharing stories, and celebrating love. That experience continues to inspire me to create ceremonies that are authentic and completely tailored to the couple I have the honour of working with.
You can consider me your curator, your sounding board, and your ultimate support, guiding you through the experience of marrying your love with care and intention.

My Approach
My style leans into the romantic and heartfelt and is devoted to the details that make your ceremony uniquely yours. I’m professional, organised, warm, and genuine, bringing a calming presence while showing up in a way that reflects your vibe and complements your aesthetic, so every element feels personal and perfectly aligned. I’m here to guide and support you through the journey, ensuring every step is thoughtful, intentional, and meaningful.
I believe your ceremony should sound, feel, and look like you. That means creating something that is bespoke. I craft every word and moment to reflect your story, your style, and your love.
You could say I’m a little sentimental, with a talent for drawing out the sparkle in the moments that matter most, no matter how big or small. My goal is to celebrate every unique detail that makes your love story extraordinary.

Your Ceremony
What matters most to me is that your ceremony shares the true essence of who you are as individuals and as a couple and that it reflects what is most important to you.
I deliver your ceremony with warmth, sincerity and a little lightheartedness thoughtfully balancing sentiment and romance so every moment feels natural, considered and true to you. Together, we will design the celebration to be all that you have dreamed it to be.
I love connecting with you to uncover the moments that truly matter and finding ways to highlight them beautifully. Every word, gesture, and pause is considered, so the ceremony not only captures your story but also leaves lasting memories, for you and for everyone you love.
Your guests are part of this journey too. They witness your story unfolding, feel the intention and emotion in each moment, and share in the celebration alongside you. A thoughtfully crafted ceremony sets the tone for your entire wedding day, and ensures your friends and family are inspired, engaged, and raving about it for years to come.
