“Leslie, thank you for providing such a wonderful and very personal ceremony! The words and themes fit us and the beautiful setting perfectly, and it truly felt like you had known us for many years (in fact, several guests asked if that was the case). We were so pleased to find someone who could capture a unique mix of humor, sincerity, naturalist and humanist tones, and reflect our love of the Colorado mountains. Thank you again!

"Leslie was perfect to work with. Kristin and I are from Pennsylvania but we wanted our small ceremony at Sapphire Point in Breckenridge. We looked online for an officiant and thought Leslie would be the right person for our day. We face-timed to get to know one another, then collaborated on our vows and every aspect of our ceremony. Leslie was so easy to work with, and we loved the results - it was personal and casual, with a lightheartedness that totally captured us and our 17 year relationship. Thanks for everything Leslie!”

“I was lucky to receive a thoughtfully orchestrated Blessing Way from Leslie Ross. She created a beautiful space, filled with my friends and women I admire. I left feeling confident, powerful and ready to step into motherhood. One of the most meaningful pieces for me was receiving a handmade Birthing Mala, that was created from different stones/talismans/trinkets from each of my dearest friends. It’s something I brought with me to the birth of my daughter and continues to hold a special significance for me, as a mother and a woman. Leslie created this unique experience, with beautiful rituals and support and I was so grateful to be on the receiving end of her creative and loving spirit!”

"We planned our wedding in our home state of California with and asked a close relative to preside over the ceremony.  Summit Celebrants script writing services made this all possible. Leslie was so gracious and helped us shape our vows and our whole ceremony, which allowed us to give our officiant great guidance.  She sent us an outline and lots of ideas that were tailored to us, and she also guided us in pulling it all together so that we had a thoughtful, personal ceremony that felt so very "us" all the way through.  We could not have gotten the ceremony completed without her!”

“We had our wedding July 12th in Copper Mountain, and even though wedding planning was a little crazy, Leslie made a whole part of our day effortless. Her script writing services were phenomenal, she was perceptive and was able to capture the essence that we wanted on our big day. She was able to attend our rehearsal when we later decided we needed her, and it helped us feel confident for the wedding day. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend her services.”

As a Wedding Coordinator and Florist for over 20 years, I found it a great pleasure to work with Leslie and felt confident referring clients to her.  After personally working so many weddings they all started to blend. Although Leslie’s Style was unique. I appreciated the way she personalized each ceremony to reflect the unique qualities of each couple. She was consistently sensitive to their individual needs and personalities to ensure that their ceremony was a reflection of their background and personalities.  Leslie artfully customized each ceremony after thorough research gathering enough background info on the couple including any significant life events or experiences. Leslie has a talent for incorporating different ethnic themes or prayers, spiritual rituals etc. in a manor that flows as well as an awareness of how to skillfully create simple meaning ceremonies for elopements and Intimate weddings. Leslie was very easy to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an officiant.

“Our wedding is still remembered to this day as the 'best ceremony' our guests have ever attended and Leslie was a key ingredient.  With the goal of mixing multiple elements based on different religions and family traditions, Leslie had a process that helped us converge on a ceremony that incorporated all the elements and she was so helpful and flexible during the process.  Leslie had incredible attention to detail and her energy, balance and presentation during the ceremony was key to keeping all the guests engaged and inviting all into the experience. We felt so lucky to have her as part of our special day.”

“Leslie and I have known each other for over a decade, meeting in our first YTT in 2009 and then continuing our journey with yoga together with our teachers Yogarupa Rod Stryker and Pandit Rajmani Tigunait.  When I was given a new practice, I asked Leslie to make me a new mala. She asked me what personal qualities I aspired to and created this beautiful mala. I have been in love with it since the day she gave it to me.  It is my practice mala, and I wear it on special occasions when I am teaching.”

“I cannot recommend Summit Celebrant enough! Leslie wrote the most fabulous, memorable wedding ceremony that we could have dreamed of. She met with us, asked personal questions and made it obvious that she knew and understood us. Leslie was so flexible and worked with every request that we made…. even with a midnight email request the night before and a surprise shower during the ceremony! Her calm, focused energy was just what we all needed that weekend. Our ceremony was so unique and personal. We received so many compliments. But most importantly, we knew that this was OUR moment. It could not have been more perfect. Thank you so much, Leslie. We are so happy that we found you.”

The ceremony was very special and meaningful to us and our families. Also, thanks for accommodating the ceremony changes we made just a few days before the wedding.

“Leslie, we wanted to express our gratitude for performing such a beautiful ceremony for us. Everyone in attendance raved about what an amazing job you did. One of our good friends asked how we knew you and for how long – they felt you knew us that well and truly captured us in our wedding vows and ceremony. For that, we cannot thank you enough.  It is a day in our lives we will remember forever and you played an important role in making it unforgettable. Thank you, Leslie. I do hope our paths cross again in the future.”
