A seasoned public speaker, preacher, and writer, she crafts ceremonies that include magical moments, laughter and happy tears, delivering an experience that reflects each couple’s beliefs, values, and personalities.

Whether couples select a One of a Kind Ceremony or a Short & Sweet Ceremony, Elizabeth's goal is to help them celebrate Life and Love with solemnity, romance, moments of tenderness, and light-hearted playfulness.

Elizabeth works with couples of all faiths or those without a faith tradition; using everyday language and concepts that touch the heart, incorporating each couple’s love story and ideas into the ceremony script, with a dose of appropriate humor and a touch of British class! In 2017, Dr. Stewart was inducted into The Knot's Hall of Fame as one of the top 2% of wedding vendors across America; she has been awarded both WeddingWire's Couple's Choice Award and The Knot's Best of Weddings Award for the last 8 consecutive years.

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.

A Heartfelt Ceremony, Thanks to Dr. Elizabeth-Anne Stewart!

Dr. Elizabeth-Anne Stewart was so incredibly easy to work with as our wedding officiant. From the very beginning, she was kind, organized, and genuinely invested in helping us create a ceremony that felt true to who we are. She also offered thoughtful guidance to shape a ceremony that was short yet meaningful, personal, and beautifully balanced. And on the big day, Dr. Elizabeth-Anne Stewart delivered our ceremony with such warmth and eloquence that it was felt by many of our guests. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to lead us into our new chapter—she helped make our day so special!

The most amazing officiant experience with Dr. Elizabeth-Anne Stewart!

My husband and I came across Dr. Elizabeth-Anne Stewart's page when we were searching for an officiant for our October 2023 wedding, and we have nothing but glowing things to say about the experience. We were planning an out of state wedding and even between Zoom's, phone calls and in-person meetings, Dr. Elizabeth-Anne was incredibly detail oriented and takes such a thoughtful approach to officiating. Dr. Elizabeth-Anne helped us craft a beautiful ceremony that was personal to our love story and was absolutely perfect - we still have guests mention how fantastic, memorable and unique our ceremony was! We couldn't have had a better experience and give her a perfect 5 stars!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I've been fortunate to work with Dr. Elizabeth-Anne Stewart on a number of weddings over the past few years. When a couple tells me they have hired her, I'm always glad to hear it. Dr. Stewart understands both the liturgical/ritual necessities for a wedding and also the performative aspects. The wedding she officiates are always well-thought-out and heartfelt. She is always at the top of my list when I recommend officiants.
