About me:
|
Welcome to From This Day Forward, my name is Lisa Locoh. I have more than 23 years' experience Officiating Weddings. I do a wide range of ceremonies from small private weddings, to traditional ceremonies, elopements, commitment ceremonies, vow renewals, as well as creative themed weddings. I also officiate funerals/memorial services, Baptisms/baby blessings, and house blessings.
I take pride in writing most of my services myself and love meeting with couples to create a beautiful service together that's personal, professional, and appropriate. Whether your ceremony is religious or non- religious, spiritual, multicultural, secular, humorous, or romantic; guests leave every ceremony commenting on how truly enjoyable, professional, and personal it was. My nature is warm and welcoming; my demeanor is calm and soothing, which reflects on how relaxed my couples are and how beautiful the ceremonies are. I have a polished presentation and delivery skills, coupled with kindness, compassion and emotional connection that make for a wonderful officiant
I have served as a pastor at both larger congregations and small rural ones. I have also been a chaplain at local Hospitals and Hospices. I have a deep love for people, music, sports, reading, theater, movies and being active in my church. I am blessed with teens who love to play sports, especially soccer and hanging out with me and their friends.
I truly love all people no matter who you are for we are all created by God. I have as my primary belief that people share more in common with one another, as human than what our different race, religion, and culture may imply. Feel free to contact me about your upcoming wedding, elopement, memorial service, baptism, or vow renewal.
I also enjoy planning vendor events and Bridal Shows. I have organized and hosted several Bridal Shows and Craft/Vendor Shows in the area which was rewarding. The most memorable show was at the Historic and upscale Tea Room in downtown Des Moines. You can count on me to be professional, kind, genuine, down to earth, and creative as I work with you to create a beautiful ceremony.
