The best person we hired for our wedding

Mitzi is a fantastic wedding officiant. She has the perfect amount of character, soul, and conscientiousness to lead a beautiful ceremony. We were convinced by her page by itself, but if you're still unsure, watch some of her recorded ceremonies and you are likely to find what you are looking for.

Her punctuality and responsiveness made us confident she would deliver all her work when she promised it. She took the time to get to know us and created a ceremony/script that matched the character of our relationship and values. I think we were unsure about all the things that should be said during our non-religious ceremony, but she really helped us fill those gaps because she saw us for who we are. It seems common to have a close friend or loved one be your wedding officiant nowadays, but we're glad we decided to use a professional like Mitzi.

A Truly Special Experience with Mitzi - 25th Vow Renewal Ceremony

We had the absolute pleasure of having Mitzi as our officiant for our 25th vow renewal ceremony, and we couldn’t be more grateful. From the very first meeting, she was warm, attentive, and truly took the time to understand our story and the vision we had for our ceremony.

Mitzi’s professionalism was evident in every detail. She worked with us to create a personalized and meaningful ceremony, making sure every word felt authentic to our journey together. Her delivery was heartfelt, and it truly felt like she was part of our celebration, not just the person leading it.

Throughout the entire process, Mitzi was responsive and organized, answering all of our questions and offering guidance where needed. She made us feel at ease every step of the way.

If you're looking for an officiant who is both professional and deeply invested in making your special day perfect, we highly recommend Mitzi. She helped make our vow renewal ceremony a day we will cherish forever!

Wow...Mitzi became a memorable part of our wedding day!

Wow what a find….
I was looking for an officiant at the last minute for our wedding. We were grateful to find Mitzi available! As it turned out, Mitzi became a memorable part of ur wedding day. After our first encounter with Mitzi we knew she was perfect for our ceremony. Open communication, lively, humorous, experienced, creative and well spoken were just a few of her attributes that made our wedding special.
Mitzi spent a great deal of time to make sure our ceremony went off as we desired, I really didn’t think we could have been happier or more satisfied with our remarkable day.
Our adult children also commented on what a great job Mitzi did.
Please consider contacting Mitzi, as she is more than capable to help you to create an incredible wedding!!

Mitzi's Marital Bliss

MITZI SCHWARZ

For mature transatlantic comedy fans the work of Peter Cook, who with his surrealist partner Dudley Moore led the pre Monty Python laughter invasion, is a joy to behold.

Exhibit A: Cook's madcap cameo as the "mawage" officiant in the deliriously funny "The Princess Bride," written by William Goldman and directed by Rob Reiner.

Now modesty forbids oneself and my new LA bride (Lenore Lowen Alemoru) being the Cary Elwes and Robin Wright of that particular finely scripted romance, but we do owe a debt to our wonderfully humorous and kind Chaplain Mitzi Schwarz, who superbly and sublimely officiated our October 18 wedding at The Ambrose Hotel in Santa Monica.

In a pre-planned almost to the second 40 minute ceremony, Mitzi delivered a hybrid Christian-Jewish-Yoruba blessing in front of our nearest and dearest as her bon mots danced brilliantly into the ether of a spectacular, sunlit mid morning to late afternoon day.

However, amazingly, I had only spoken to Mitzi for the first time just over a month before our big day and that was on an introductory call from my home city of Manchester, UK, after my then fiancée discovered her details online.

The connection was instant as she absorbed our romantic story and then set up an immediate zoom interview followed by a detailed questionnaire about how and why we got together, exactly what kind of ceremony we wanted, who would be attending and what input did we want them to have?

Mitzi then wove a touching wedding ceremony script around "The Bard and Milady" that will live long in the memory.

For us Mitzi is a "tweasure."

She made our wedding very special!

Mitzi was an excellent communicator and responded in a prompt manner whenever we reached out to her with questions. She was available over phone, text and Zoom and was accommodating of our preferences.

We communicated over text, email, phone and Zoom, whichever was best for the occasion. For instance, she met us over a Zoom call, while she was available via phone and email.

Mitzi went above and beyond to make the ceremony individualised in relation to our spirituality. She genuinely cared what our backgrounds and values were. Something I appreciated was that it was acknowledged that while my husband and I were similar in some ways in our spirituality, we have differences, and the ceremony reminded me of how they and we as individuals complement each other.

It was a beautiful ceremony on the beach, and Mitzi was encouraging of where we chose to get married that felt right to us, and made our elopement an experience that was a meaningful beginning to our marriage. It felt full with just the two of us.

Mitzi was a wonderful officiant and it was a pleasure to work with her. She brings warmth and an investment in your wedding being a meaningful event. Even though we were happy already to be getting married, Mitzi still brought a sense of joy to the ceremony that was infectious. I highly recommend working with Mitzi!

Review for Mitzi

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.
On the day of the wedding, Mitzi arrived early, radiating positivity and calm. She effortlessly guided us and our children through the proceedings with a perfect blend of professionalism and warmth. 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.
We cannot thank Mitzi enough for making our vow renewal day so special. If you’re looking for an officiant who is not only skilled and organized but also genuinely passionate about making your ceremony unforgettable, look no further. Mitzi is a true gem!

Fantastic and simple ceremony

We wanted to elope but that ended up not working out. We still wanted to keep it contained, small, short and simple and Mitzi did just that. She was very thoughtful and respectful about what we wanted and made it amazing. Even though it was a short ceremony, just how we wanted it, it was filled with a lot of laughs and of course, happy tears.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
