Unlimited meetings

We ask that all couples meet with us at least once in person so we can get to know you. Heck, once isn’t even enough! We typically meet with couples 2-4 times on average before their wedding. Meet us, message us, email us as much as you want before your wedding.

Honeymoon planning

Liz is constantly traveling around the world for weddings and wants to bring some of the experience from our other company, Vows Well Traveled, to our officiating experience. We partner with Rubinsohn Travel to offer honeymoon planning to all couples.

Vow Sessions +Guides

Liz will coordinate with each of you to schedule her specialty created and curated vow session. We also include our rehearsal guide to prep couples before their wedding, whether or not the rehearsal is chosen as part of the package.

We write deeply personal, intimate ceremonies that are sure to give you all the feelings during your wedding day and engage your guests. As writers at heart, we take the writing of your wedding very seriously but also love to bring our talent and background to your wedding!

Testimonials

“Liz was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The wedding ceremony she crafted for us was the perfect blend of modern and traditional that our audience thoroughly enjoyed. Liz took the time to get to know us and we never felt rushed or stressed about the process. At the beginning, we didn’t have a theme or personality for our wedding, it was just bare bones. Liz came up with the super creative idea of doing a Sourdough Starter Unity activity during the ceremony, which was an adorable reflection of our relationship and provided the theme of food and food puns for the entire wedding. Working with Liz Rae Weddings was worth every penny and now we get to have nothing but positive, warm loving memories of our wedding ceremony.” Terrence D

“Liz Rae Weddings is phenomenal! Liz was our officiant for a destination ceremony in Rome. She was incredibly responsive and went out of her way from start to finish, making planning stress free. She personalized our ceremony just perfectly, made recommendations for other services, and helped make our travel and stay in Rome safe and exciting! Liz went above and beyond and we are so grateful that she was a part of our special day!” April L
