Your wedding day should be a perfect reflection of your shared journey and individual values. As an experienced and responsive Los Angeles wedding officiant, I specialize in creating custom, deeply individualized ceremonies that beautifully bridge different spiritualities and backgrounds. From our first planning session to your final joyful moment, I am entirely with you. I bring professionalism, guidance, and a bright, bubbly energy to your special day.
Elopement Ceremonies
You want it short and sweet. Just the two of you, perhaps one or two guests, and of course, your photographer! Together, we’ll choose a beautiful reading, poem, or song that you’d like included in your ceremony. I will send you a questionnaire that asks all the questions, including, “when did you meet”, “when and why did you decide to get married”, etc. I always weave your responses into your ceremony!
Then, you’ll share your declarations of intent and wedding vows with each other. And of course, you’ll exchange your wedding rings. Finally, I will pronounce you married by the power vested in me by the State of California. At the conclusion of your ceremony, I’ll sign your Marriage License, and return it to the appropriate California County Registrar-Recorder’s Office.

“Mitzi was found by a simple YELP search, but her services, professionalism, and time was everything BUT simple.“
She even made it a point to provide several locations that still provided the “romantic, special” moment. After getting to know my husband and I briefly, she constructed a beautiful and Personal “speech” for us that even brought me to tears. She took it a step further and with our permission of course, performed a beautiful ritual.
Although it was a “simple” doing, the time, effort, and love she put out was something we will cherish forever. We are so glad that she did this for us. Her energy is literally the energy I believe any couple needs whether small or large. She is a bubbly and genuinely nice human being and that is hard to find in this world today. Mitzi, we can’t thank you enough for your love, energy, professionalism, promptness, and your time. May God continue to bless you and will definitely keep in touch as you offered amazing resources to us!

Wedding Vow Renewals
Wedding Vow Renewal ceremonies are filled with mature tenderness and lots of deep and abiding love. Couples choose to renew their vows for a variety of reasons. Maybe you’re choosing to renew your wedding vows because one or both of you underwent a health crisis, and came out standing on the other side. This is cause for celebration and gratitude. Perhaps you want to renew your marriage commitment to one another because, now, you’re new people with new priorities and new perspectives. You can also include your children in the ceremony, to celebrate your family’s love.
Perhaps you’ve had a lot of challenges in your marriage – you may have even moved towards divorce – but you’ve worked through the challenges and hardships, and you’ve decided to renew your vows. This ceremony is powerful because you’re psychologically and emotionally building a new foundation for your marriage.
Did you and your beloved married each other during a crisis, such as the Covid pandemic or the recent LA wildfires? You couldn’t have the kind of celebration you wanted then. This wedding vow renewal is your “sequel” wedding, and now you get to have the ceremony and celebration you want!
Whatever the reasons, I craft deeply personalized and meaningful ceremonies that speak to the life and love you’ve shared up to this moment, and to the life you want to create as you continue your journey through life together as a married couple.

“From the very first meeting with Mitzi, we knew we were in the hands of a true professional and a genuinely warm-hearted individual.”
She went above and beyond to ensure that our vow renewal ceremony was not only seamless but truly memorable.
>Mitzi took the time to get to know us as a couple, which really shone through in the personalized ceremony she crafted. Her attention to detail and ability to capture our love story in such a heartfelt and engaging way made the ceremony uniquely ours.
We were so touched by how she incorporated our favorite anecdotes, music and values into the vows, creating a ceremony that was both meaningful and moving. Our adult kids were raving about how beautiful and engaging the ceremony was, and how Mitzi’s presence added an extra layer of joy and sincerity to the occasion.
