Weddings  and   wanderlust

Irrepressible … that once in a lifetime stuff.

It’s not the kind that’s made in movies, it’s what cannot be captured by frames or in scripts. It’s the in-between, the looks that pass only between the two of you. The heat in the tiny spaces that exist between your palms. The single silhouette that you become moving slowly at night. It’s beauty, inexplicable and pure. This type of love is the kind you were made to discover. And now with it, hand in hand, discover the world.

You have your lover, your date is set, your bags are packed, and your heart is full. Let me do the rest.

Yeah, it’s that kind of love

“Who cared about logic, or about the working of things? They were young and in love, things like that never matteredwhen you are both of those things.” - Lily Moon River

I like to say I bookend your love story; I’m here for the before and after. I’m a wedding officiant, dedicated to building a ceremony that is personal, memorable, and naturally reflects your love. I’m a honeymoon planner, helping to curate an adventure that will let your love traverse borders and break through boundaries. You’ve found your lover. Let me tell your story and create an adventure together.

I'm Liz Norment

Once you decide to move forward with HLWT as your officiant, I’ll revise your outline with a ton of personalized questions that will be evocative of you and your partner’s love story. I’ll require both partners to respond separately and to answer the questions in a conversational, stream-of-consciousness style. And please skip over any questions that don’t feel personal to your relationship! From there, I’ll set deadlines to keep us all on track as we work to build your ceremony.

While I’m writing your ceremony, I fully immerse myself in the responses that you and your partner have shared. I conjure up details about the setting for the ceremony that will bring your guests into the scene. I let myself get lost in stories of your adventures and romance. I use my expressive style of writing to invite your guests into the story of your love,, from the first interaction to the proposal. I create custom vows based on your dynamic as a couple, and offer inspiration for readings to be included in the ceremony.

During our collaborative editing process, I’ll allow you to review as much of the ceremony as you wish to review. Most couples prefer to keep the “love story” section a surprise until the wedding day. However, I require extra scrutiny on the sections that mention family history to make sure your families feel properly represented (no matter how complicated they may seem!) I’ll make sure that the ceremony feels representative of you and your love and is well-balanced with deep emotion and light-hearted humor.

I’ll arrive early to coordinate with your team on wedding day for sound checks, to review the marriage license, and to make sure that your wedding party is informed and prepared. During the ceremony, I’ll take my time to make sure every detail of your story is felt by your guests. I’ll be sure to address family directly when they are mentioned. And, I always step away slightly during the pronouncement so that the grand finale and kiss puts you and your partner at the center of the attention.

The ring may symbolize the promise of a lifetime of love together, but your passport will be the booklet where your memories are made. I’ll work with you to plan a trip that reflects your love. Let’s get started.

From the top of Red Rocks amphitheater in Colorado to an intimate affair in Chianti, Italy, I’ve shared the love stories of so many adventurous couples, helping them find just the right words to say “I do”. Let me tell your story.

Spend seven days exploring the wines and terroir of Rioja and the Basque Country. From rolling hills in Rioja to seaside pintxos in charming San Sebastián, this experience blends the region’s most celebrated producers with hidden gems. Each day is thoughtfully paced, balancing vineyard visits and private tastings with time to wander, dine, and discover. It’s an invitation to indulge your curiosity and embrace the land and culture as you sip your way through Northern Spain.

Your love story is dynamic, captivating, inspiring, and beautifully complex. Hiring a professional writer as your wedding officiant means all of those nuanced details, the parts that make your heart sing, will be reflected in every single word. The ceremony is the only conversation at the wedding that you can control, so let a profesisonal writer craft a custom ceremony that will set the tone for the celebration to follow.

Why should I hire a professional writer as my wedding officiant?

For a custom wedding ceremony, you should pay $1200-1500. 
For a standard ceremony with limited personalization, you should pay $500-600.

My packages include both options, but consider how much you value your story being told. A custom ceremony includes an intricate process as I get to know your love story and your famly history, as well as one-on-one meetings and a collaborative editing process so that every detail of ther final ceremony evokes the real beautiful complexity of your love.

How much should I pay for a wedding officiant?

A wedding ceremony should be 15-20min long. Most venues allow a 30min time block for the ceremony. You'll want to factor in time for the procession and recession, and consider enough time in the ceremony for readings, rituals, and custom vows (if you choose to include). My wedding ceremonies follow a custom flow that will keep guests captivated as they hear your story and leave them feeling grateful, inspired, and ready to celebrate!

how long should a wedding ceremony be?

Read reviews from previous couples! This is one of the best ways to determine the officiant's style, professionalism, and values. Ask to see ceremony videos that will highlight their officiating style. Speak up about what's important to you, from custom rituals, religious/spiritual elements, or anything that is making you nervous regarding the ceremony. Most importantly, meet with the officiant to make sure your values align. The officiant is one of the most important decisions you make on your wedding day so take time to understand who they are, what they do, and how they will illuminate your story.

How to choose a wedding officiant... (helpful tips to consider!)

Traditionally, personal vows will be composed of a paragraph that will be a dedication to your partner followed by a series of promises. They should reflect the admiration you have for your partner, include a few lighthearted, anecdotal elements (if humor feels right to include!), as well as ways your partner has inspired you as a person. I offer vow writing assistance as part of my Full Ceremony Planning package, but also work with couples separately who request this service. This service includes one-on-one coaching sessions to help you feel confident on wedding day. Custom vows are a great addition to your ceremony, and hiring a professional is the best way to ensure that your vows reflect your true emotion. 

How to write wedding vows (here's a great place to start)

The best way to make your wedding ceremony memorable is to hire a professional writer to craft a custom ceremony that tells your love story. Professional wedding officiants will also incorporate unique ceremony traditions, like hand-fasting, ring-warming, and culturally-specific unity customs. Having live ceremony musicians or simply choosing unexpected songs for the procession and recession is a fun way to reflect your personalities! Avoid the common, overplayed ceremony readings and ask your officiant (hint, hint!) to share her collection of readings. Don't be afraid to break tradition with the wedding party, aisle decor, and guest seating. It's your day, so don't be pressured to follow "norms"!
