As an experienced wedding officiant, I can help you put together an amazing ceremony that perfectly matches your unique relationship. Whether you’re eloping or planning an elaborate wedding, we will work together to create something wonderful for you.
Elopement Ceremonies
This is a lovely ceremony with no more than 10 people present, which includes the two of you, me, and of course, your photographer! With your input, and if you’d like, either you, or you and I, choose a beautiful reading, poem, or song that resonates with you, that we include in your ceremony. I will send you a questionnaire that asks all the questions, such as, “when did you meet”, “when and why did you decide to get married”, etc. I will weave your responses into your ceremony.
Also, you’ll get to state your declarations of intent (your I Do’s), share your vows with each other, exchange rings, and then, I pronounce you married by the power vested in me by the State of California. And of course, 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, and you may want to renew your marriage commitment to one another because, in a way, you’re new people with new priorities and new perspectives on life. It’s also a wonderful way to 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. A wedding vow renewal ceremony under these circumstances is a powerful affirmation because you’re psychologically and emotionally putting your marriage on a new foundation. Or, perhaps you and your beloved married each other during a crisis, such as the Covid pandemic, and you could not have the kind of ceremony you dreamt of then. This wedding vow renewal ceremony could be something of a “sequel” wedding.
Whatever your reasons, I am here to craft a deeply personalized and meaningful ceremony that speaks 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.
