Services Offered
Dr. Stewart offers a range of ceremonies to suit every budget and circumstance, from simple Elopements to lavish One of a Kind ceremonies, from regally traditional weddings to weddings that incorporate pop-cultural elements. Her main ceremonies are:
1. the One of Kind Ceremony which is completely customized from beginning to end and can include the couple's love story. The possibilities for this type of ceremony are endless. It is best suited for couples who are looking for an absolutely unique ceremony and for those who want to incorporate special themes, inter-faith rituals, cultural elements, and blended families.
2. the Short and Sweet Ceremony which provides a series of options from which the couple can select their preferences. This ceremony feels personal but doesn't have the degree of customization that a One of a Kind Ceremony offers. It is best suited for couples who may prefer a low profile during their ceremony or for those who would rather leave planning up to the Officiant than participate more fully in the process.
A Board-Certified Coach/ ICF Professional Certified Coach, Elizabeth also offers optional Marriage Coaching before and after couples tie the knot. She also offers bi-lingual ceremonies with the assistance of a translator (Spanish and German) and is usually available for wedding rehearsals.

Unique and meaningful union
Upon searching for an officiant for our non-traditional, and spiritual ceremony, Elizabeth was perfect. She extended herself to fit within our short lead time, and provided us with a unique ceremony, that was the cornerstone of our union and celebration. By encouraging us to take the time to tell our story, it lead to the most heartfelt ceremony. It included the details that our family and friends would later tell us they never knew; and it helped them feel closer to us, and happy to be a part of our celebration. The joy definitely carried through the night.

In addition to her desire to create the right story, Elizabeth was also always quick to respond, delightful to speak with, and professional. She also offered much guidance in areas that we had no idea would be important.
We would highly recommend Elizabeth for anyone looking to create a unique, and meaningful union!
Dr. Elizabeth-Anne Stewart's reply:
Your story truly became the centerpiece of your ceremony -- I'm so glad we took the time to explore what was going on in your lives when you met and how your two lives became inter-twined. I so enjoyed being "the Keeper of the Story," the "Teller of the Tale" -- what a sacred responsibility!Susan Hur · Married on 10/13/2019
An Amazing Day!
Elizabeth made our day incredibly special and meaningful! She wrote a beautiful script, and offered wonderful suggestions for making our day even more meaningful! Not only were my husband and I in tears, but so were most of our guests! We received endless compliments from our family and friends about how beautiful the ceremony was!

One of a Kind Officiant
Many people asked me where I found the officiant for the wedding ceremony because they thought Elizabeth was amazing! I couldn't agree more with my guests, Elizabeth's story telling was perfect. It told how we met in a unique and funny way, and I could not be more happy with her services! Thank you so much Elizabeth!
