Have Lover, Will Travel

she’s exceptional at what she does, both as a wedding planner and as an officiant. What sets Liz apart is her remarkable ability to weave together the threads of a couple’s love story into something truly magical. She takes the time to genuinely know her clients, diving deep into understanding not just how they met, but who they were as individuals before their paths crossed and who they’ve become together. The result is a ceremony that feels intimate, personal, and deeply moving. At one wedding we worked together, I learned so much about the couple’s journey that by the end, I felt as though I’d known them for years. That’s the power of her storytelling. Liz has this incredible gift for crafting a narrative that draws everyone in, making guests feel like they’re part of something profoundly special rather than just observers. Beyond her talent as an officiant, Liz is simply wonderful to work with from a vendor perspective. She’s organized, efficient, and truly has her act together. She brings a warmth and kindness to every interaction while maintaining the professionalism that makes wedding days run smoothly. I know many couples choose to have a close friend or family member officiate their wedding, and that can be beautiful. But what Liz offers is something rare: she becomes someone who knows your story as intimately as those closest to you, while bringing the polish, experience, and storytelling artistry that transforms a ceremony into an unforgettable experience. When my own wedding day comes, there’s no question who I’d want standing at the altar…Liz Norment, hands down. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

felt personal, meaningful, and completely “us.” She even crafted a beautiful bilingual ceremony that honored both of our backgrounds something that meant so much to our families. Throughout the entire planning process, Liz was supportive, patient, and always available to answer questions or offer guidance. Her warmth and professionalism made everything feel easy and stress-free. On the day of the wedding, she went above and beyond. She handled every detail with care, brought a calming presence, and delivered the ceremony with such sincerity and grace. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. We highly recommend Liz to any couple looking for someone who is dedicated, thoughtful, and truly exceptional.

ur origin/love story, as well as including all of our family members to ensure everyone felt represented and loved. We cannot thank Liz enough. So many of our wedding guests approached us after the ceremony to commend Liz, and to ask if we’ve known Liz for our entire lives, as the ceremony was so personal, touching and eloquent.

way that Liz was not a long-time friend! Liz made the entire process so easy and enjoyable. Her warmth is so grounding in a wild wedding planning experience. We love working with her so much that we will be using her services to plan our honeymoon. Thank you so much, Liz!

in a short timeframe and Liz kept us on track the whole way. She was super flexible with our needs and built out a custom ceremony that was tailored to our needs She also gave us a timeline that we stuck to and wrote a beautiful ceremony that felt true to us and told our story beautifully, using questions that we answered to help build it out. She even had quotes and readings for us to incorporate into our ceremony. Liz was extremely organized throughout the whole process. We had several calls in the months leading up to our wedding in which she got to know us, went over our vows/script/what we wanted to include, went over any feedback and even helped us build out a timeline for our whole day. She went above and beyond. Not only was she wonderful to work with in the months leading up to the wedding, but she delivered a beautiful ceremony that felt organic and super personable. We were so comfortable with her and our families/friends were too. Our friends/family literally raved about her after our wedding and I truly can’t recommend her enough!!!

following the ceremony. She made us feel extremely comfortable and supported throughout her very detailed process in recounting our story as a couple, and her expertise as a writer really shone through in her timing and in-person delivery for our guests. It was truly amazing how after only working together for a few months in a professional capacity, Liz delivered a final ceremony that was SO authentic to who we are as a couple, and as individuals. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU Liz for your integral part of one of the most special days of our lives. <3 xx Jillian & Cody

nd well thought out. She had us answer a series of questions and broke it down for us over time so it wasn't overwhelming. The process was actually one of my favorite parts of getting married as it made us reflect upon our love story. Liz took that information and told the unique story of us. It was deeply personalized...not just some cookie cutter version. Many of our guests commented about Liz's gift of being an amazing writer and story-teller. I would highly recommend Liz if you're looking for an officiant. It was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She made the process quite fun and easy!

only 5 clients a year to work with. My husband and I were fortunate enough to be chosen by her, and it was an absolute honor. Working with Liz was a dream come true for us. Her unmatched professionalism, genuine care, empathy, and warmth set her apart from any other vendor we've encountered. Liz wasn't just a service provider; she became an integral part of our closest circle. Our special day was made even more magical, stress-free, and stunning because of Liz's involvement. If we were to relive our wedding day ten more times in various enchanting destinations like Paris, Venice, London, Barcelona, Rio de Janeiro, and beyond, Liz would unquestionably be our preferred choice each time. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Liz for orchestrating everything seamlessly and turning our wedding into a truly unforgettable event. Thank you for making all of this possible.

in great hands. Liz has truly connected with us at every meeting. She makes sure to truly get to know us both individually and then as a union. We are not kidding when we say that Liz’s writing is a true work of art. She ensures that her words resonate with you and your partner, and also sets the scene for where your ceremony will take place. From the first draft, my husband and I were in AWE. It was beyond beautifully written. Every ceremony is truly unique and special. We wanted to make sure our ceremony was truly written for us. It’s truly rare for someone to truly capture your love and put it into words. Words that truly speaks our love. And she absolutely delivered just that. She truly made us fall in love with each other all over again. We can’t recommend her enough. Liz is beyond thoughtful, caring, compassionate, and extremely hardworking. Her attention to detail is truly unmatched. Having her as your officiant will be the best experience you will ever have. We already can’t wait to have her back for our vow renewal. Thank you so much Liz for being you. We have so much love for you. - The Gonzalez Family

did for our day. Liz was incredible at every turn! She is kind and warm and a joy to work with. In the planning phase, she spent so much time getting to know us and our story, even with the tight turnaround, and it paid off tenfold during the ceremony. She created something beautiful, cinematic, and most importantly, authentic to us. Everyone was in tears, including us! Our guests were raving about it throughout the night and in the following days. Thank you Liz. Liz also planned our honeymoon and the whole process was flawless! She created the perfect itinerary to balance winding down after the wedding and getting a little bit of adventure. She found incredible and unique hotels, activities, and restaurants that matched our travel style and resulted in an incredible trip we will always remember. Whether you’re looking for an officiant, honeymoon planner, or both, we truly cannot recommend Liz enough!

mely easy to work with her and watch her craft a beautiful and meaningful wedding ceremony that told our love story in such a special way. Our guests were in tears! Later at the party she made sure the event went seamlessly and we did not have to think about a single thing. We could not have done it without you! Thank you!

or a friend to officiate our wedding, and knew we needed lots of help to create a meaniful ceremony and officiate well to our guests. We took a chance booking Liz and her ceremony ended up being the most complimented part of our entire wedding!! For months leading up to the wedding, Liz asked us incredibly meaningful questions about our love story and about how we wanted to share it with our friends and family. What resulted was an incredibly personal, sentimental, but ultimately light-hearted ceremony script that totally nailed who we are as a couple. Liz was able to perfectly straddle the line between having the whole room in tears one minute and laughing and cheering the next. It was the most moving ceremony I've ever been privy to. Liz is a complete professional who guided us through everything we needed to get our marriage license, dealt well with all of our other vendors, and was dressed impeccably. She also planned our honeymoon with the type of detailed dedication that we could've never had while also planning our wedding. She brought us amazing options, helped us narrow down our decisions, and handled all of the travel logistics so that we could basically just pack and show up to the airport. Liz is a complete professional and frankly should/could be charging more for the tone she set for our entire night. I will 100% be recommending Have Lover, Will Travel to friends and would book her again in a heartbeat!

ed various itineraries with options for hotels, activities, and restaurants so no stone was left unturned. She was considerate of budget and sourced the most beautiful, unique hotels and off-the-beaten-track experiences. She set us up with so many experiences you just can't find by looking online. We had an amazing honeymoon and felt comfortable knowing Liz was only a call away if we countered any problems. It was a once-in-a-lifetime trip and stress-free planning experience! Liz also officiated our wedding and we could not be happier with her services. She crafted an amazing story of our love that had guests (and us) wiping their eyes. Many guests expressed afterward that it was one of the best ceremonies they had experienced. We absolutely agree. She is a true storyteller and was able to weave together the most incredible journey of our lives and love. We're forever grateful, Liz!

r officiate our wedding, she communicated every step of the way so we never felt adrift. It really felt like she wanted to get to know us and spent so much time figuring out who we were as a couple to make sure it was a unique and meaningful ceremony for us. The actual ceremony was fantastic, and she was an amazing calm and steady presence throughout a hectic day. It was everything we could have wanted.

nts and the scheduling and scripting of the ceremony. In addition, she was very open and flexible to incorporate our needs, preferences, and personal expressions in the ceremony. As an officiant she was very poised, professional, and personable. Everyone who attended the wedding expressed their appreciation of the care she had taken to make it special for the bride and groom and their guests. Liz also assumed the responsibility of filing the necessary official documents after the ceremony. She provided an entire, excellent package of services. One need not look any further than Liz Norment based upon our positive experience.

wedding wasn’t just about a party but about the incredible connection between two people that leads to a moment like that. To say that Liz accomplished this is an understatement. From the first moment we first spoke with her, it was clear that she was a storyteller, a romantic, and an artist at heart who would bring our story to life. She did just that. She crafted a ceremony that made our guests ask us how we knew her, because she so intimately encapsulated our story and love. She told our story in a way that brought us back to the beautiful moments that led us to that day and that took our guests there with us. We got neverending compliments about how beautiful, personalized, and touching our ceremony was. On top of that, working with Liz was seamless. She has such a professional and calm presence, she created a timeline and never wavered from it, and she allowed us to be as involved as we wanted in the process. As if this wasn’t enough, she went above and beyond on the actual wedding day. When our morning was turning into chaos, and I as the bride was feeling all of the stress, she arrived like a calm breath of fresh air. Her peaceful presence immediately made me feel more at ease and confident that the ceremony was going to proceed just fine. She handled the marriage license within the chaos to keep our ceremony on time, reassured us, and then presented a flawless ceremony. Liz made the actual getting married part of the wedding completely seamless and stress-free, and I am forever grateful. We had such a wonderful experience with her that we then hired her to plan our honeymoon. We are in the midst of this now and she is again exceeding expectations (will post a full review of this once done!). If you’re looking for an officiant or honeymoon planner, you are missing out if you don’t work with Liz. Seriously, this is your sign to book her now!

re absolutely thrilled with the way she conveyed our story to our wedding guests! Our ceremony truly felt intimate, full of love, and honest, and she avoided all of the frills I personally dislike in many wedding ceremonies, without sacrificing the importance of details in the storytelling. I recommend Liz 1000% to anyone wishing to have their wedding officiated on their own terms. Thank you a million times, Liz!! You made our special day unforgettable.

ond special that we will never forget in our lifetime. Our ceremony was the highlight of our wedding and set the tone for the rest of the night! All of our guests were so engaged throughout our ceremony and captivated by her portrayal of our love story! Liz did such a fantastic job collecting and integrating all of our memories and stories to create the most meaningful ceremony! She took the time to make sure it thoroughly represented both of us, our families, and any traditions or readings wanted throughout. So many of our guests came up to me and said how wonderful and talented Liz is and that it was the best ceremony they had ever been to! Her words, emotion, voice, cadence - all of it was just so perfect! Her presence added such a loving, joyful, and calming energy to our ceremony, and her ability to depict our love story in such a beautiful way really made the night. Working with Liz is a once in a lifetime experience; she makes the process so effortless yet heartfelt. We are so very thankful for Liz, and we can’t recommend her enough to couples looking for an officiant!!

make sure the ceremony outline was exactly how we wanted it to be and that we were comfortable up there. She also handles the signing the mailing of the marriage license which was super helpful! Thank you Liz for making our day so special!!

love story. Our guests raved about how great Liz did- they said it seemed like she knew us well. She made the process simple for us and worked within our schedules. We highly recommend!

tion. She was clear about what we needed to do to keep the process moving forward, and provided helpful tips and information along the way. Liz did a great job gathering facts and information from both of us about our relationship and our story to make the ceremony personalized and meaningful. We were amazed at how well from the very first draft the ceremony told our story. The editing process was quick and easy - and this was one of the most stress free parts of planning our wedding. Liz even helped us with the logistics of getting our Marriage license. The final product was an excellent ceremony that had all of our guests raving - with multiple people assuming that Liz had known us and our story for years. Guests appreciated how the story of our relationship was told - especially more distant family members who weren’t 100% familiar with the story of our relationship. Overall - Liz was amazing to work with and we would highly recommend her for any wedding.

d accommodating from the very start. From the first time we met her over zoom, we just knew we could trust her with our special day. She is incredibly talented and creative in the way she builds your custom ceremony. Truly inspirational. We will never forget how beautiful our marriage ceremony was, thanks to her beautiful work. She went above and beyond for us, helping with great recommendations for our elopement day cake & other local activities outside of the ceremony. She was kind enough to take even more time out of her day to walk to another location after our ceremony to sign paperwork elsewhere, per our request. She mailed out our marriage certificate for us and we received our license in the mail in less than two weeks. Our whole experience with Liz was pleasant and seamless. I would recommend her over and over again.

us. We were travelling from the UK for an elopement in NYC. Liz had lots of great advice for us and information on what we needed to do. She put a ton of work into our ceremony, getting to know us and our story, filling the ceremony with personal details. On the day, Liz delivered the ceremony with emotion and sincerity, making the entire thing feel entirely personal and unique to us. She communicated brilliantly, made sure we were part of the process from start to finish. and was keen to emphasise we could contact her as often as we needed to. We would not hesitate to recommend Liz to any couple.

our ceremony. All of our guests were very impressed! She was organized with the vendors and everything happened without a hitch. We’d recommend Liz to anyone looking for a professional, personable, and responsive officiant and coordinator. 5 stars!

ve way. She ties our love story, our family backgrounds and the present moment together so beautifully. Prior to the ceremony she shares an in-depth, comprehensive questionnaire where we answer separately so she can develop a love story that captures both voices. She also offers vow assistance to ensure both match in heart and length. :) I would recommend Liz to anyone, we couldn't have asked for a better ceremony.

a great writer, Liz is also a phenomenal speaker. She had a fantastic sense of what language to use or not use and how to deliver it to a large group. Liz also went above and beyond to assist us in writing our vows, which was a big help.

able to help direct the bridal party and gave great directions so they knew how the ceremony would unfold. Finally, during the ceremony she was amazing. Our friends and family all loved the structure and delivery of the ceremony and this became a highlight of our wedding weekend. Having engaged Liz three weeks before a destination wedding, we were pleasantly surprised on the outcome. She loves what she does and it shows through her quality of work. Highly recommend!

sional to best articulate and organize our ceremony so that it was meaningful, memorable, and represented everything we wanted to share at the altar with our friends and fam. Liz did just that. We pulled her right into the mess and she guided us through the process, worked her magic to thoughtfully construct a heartfelt and well written ceremony including our 'love story' and the formalities. The whole process was so smooth and Liz was extremely understanding, knowledgable and kind throughout. Amazing experience!!!!!
