Review summary
Professional, polished officiant who creates personalized, inclusive ceremonies integrating multi-faith, multicultural, and LGBTQIA elements.

Magical Sacred Ceremony Officiant
We had a seriously magical small ceremony on the beach with just a few of us. She helped us to curate the perfect handfasting script [Which I cried most of the way through at her beautiful delivery] she ended by singing our chosen song with her ukelele, and I will never forget the sounds of her beautiful music floating along the wind as we celebrated our union.
We absolutely recommend her services to make your day as magical as ours was. Thank you again for making our day so special!
Kind and Grounded Officiant
Perfect ceremony
Great listener, warm presence, prepared & poised!
All of our pre-wedding communication with Elizabeth was seamless, and she was always responsive. Most importantly, she was on-time and prepared for the ceremony, and affably chatted with our guests. Oh yeah, and she properly submitted the marriage license to the county! haha, can’t overlook that :)
Elizabeth’s polish and poise highlights the value you get when you hire a professional to officiate your wedding, rather than call on a family member or a friend. Thank you, Elizabeth, for officiating our elopement happen. Your presence and dedication made a small gathering burst with love.
