Not Your Average Wedding Officiant

We wanted to learn all about NOLA Elopements and Wedding Ceremonies and its impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with Owner/Wedding Officiant Lorrie Werden-Barnes.

The first question we had for Lorrie was what is it that sets NOLA Elopements and Wedding Ceremonies apart from their competition in Louisiana. Here’s Lorrie’s response:

“We pride ourselves in excellent service. The couples I work with are amazing, and I pride myself in making sure they have the best wedding ceremony they can have.”

We also wanted to know what their mission is at NOLA Elopements and Wedding Ceremonies and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Lorrie had to say:

“I give back to the community. I’m a female motorcycle rider, and I do a lot of fundraisers, toy runs and different things where we are giving back to the community on a consistent basis.”

Building Success Through Organic Reviews

Lorrie attributes NOLA Elopements and Wedding Ceremonies’ strong online reputation to the organic reviews her clients give her on their own. She told us that she doesn’t ask for reviews.

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, NOLA Elopements and Wedding Ceremonies has gotten their name out there through their website, Facebook page, Google My Business and Yelp.

There are so many business owners out there looking to build the kind of online reputation NOLA Elopements and Wedding Ceremonies has. Here’s Lorrie’s expert advice for them:

“Take pride in what you do. Treat others as you want to be treated. That will come back with you ten-fold.”

She went on to add:

“I don’t know a lot about building an online reputation, and I’m not into the whole technology thing; I just serve my clients the best I can and provide the kind of service I would want if it was my day.”


Congratulations to the team at NOLA Elopements and Wedding Ceremonies for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Lorrie, for taking the time to speak with us!
