About

Stacy Mitchell is a certified Life-Cycle Celebrant® with more than 10 years experience creating and officiating unique and meaningful ceremonies. If you are looking for a professional, down-to-earth officiant who will listen to you and give you complete control of your ceremony, then look no further! Please read more from Stacy's website below...

Planning the Wedding of Your Dreams is often more challenging than one originally imagines. A Wedding consists not just of the dreams of the individual, but also the dreams, beliefs, values, & traditions of the intended spouse and those of two separate and distinct families. Add in to this the aspect of community inclusion, and what you have is a wondrous, and not to mention stressful, challenge to create a day that will meet and exceed the dreams and expectations of each participant to your union!

Many couples become so caught up and over-whelmed by this challenge that they fail to realize just how important it is to have someone they can trust and turn to for assistance from the start of this journey towards Sacred Union. In fact, most often, a couple will choose their Wedding Officiant at the end of their planning, or sometimes even as an "after-thought" because they do not realize that there are people in their community who are trained to assist them in bringing all their dreams, beliefs, and traditions into the Ceremonial elements of their wedding day!

This is the Beauty of having a Certified Life-Cycle Celebrant®
officiate your wedding!

Stacy’s mission as your Wedding Celebrant is to help you create not only the day of your dreams, but to assist you in creating a Ceremony that reflects your beliefs, values, and traditions in a way that honors each of you as individuals and as the couple you are becoming. Regardless of whether you desire a private, intimate joining or a large celebration of your union, your Ceremony should reflect all that you are and all that you intend to become together.

This will be accomplished together through in-depth interviews and discussions of symbolism, rituals, and traditions with each of you as individuals and as a couple to help craft a customized Wedding Ceremony that Honors Your Voice and your dreams of this day in all ways and is meaningful to this life-joining you have chosen to enter into together. To get this process started, please contact Stacy today by phone or email to discuss your needs and to schedule your free, no-obligation consultation in person when possible or via phone or skype when necessary.

We could not have selected a better officiant for our wedding than Stacy. She performed a lovely ceremony that was exactly what we were hoping for. Her process for getting to know us was extremely thorough involving a meeting and detailed questionnaire. Stacy knew all the right questions to ask and quickly picked up on the direction we'd like the ceremony to go. Then, she provided us with a draft of what she'd like to say well ahead of time so we could review and make any final edits or comments (this is optional of course). During the ceremony, Stacy delivered her words wonderfully, and really captured the moment and spirit we hoped to create. Afterwards, our family and friends couldn't stop raving about what an amazing job she did and how much they loved the ceremony. If you're looking for a perceptive officiant who will really get to know you individually and as a couple and will create a ceremony that represents what is important to you, Stacy will make an excellent choice. We are thrilled to highly recommend her. Thank you Stacy!

We were so pleased with Stacy and her services. She was able to accommodate our wedding day only three weeks in advance. She was prompt, professional and very friendly. She listened well during our interview because every note taken was used to tailor the ceremony to make it very personal and special for us. Stacy did an exceptional job on creating/writing the ceremony and it really added that special touch for us and our guests. I would highly recommend Stacy if you are looking for a reliable and super thoughtful officiant for your very special day.

I don't think that I can say enough good things about Stacy!

We searched around a bit for an officiant before deciding, but we feel that out of everything relating to our ceremony day, Stacy was the best. From our very first meeting (phone) she really tried to get to know us and find out what we wanted for our ceremony. She incorporated our ideas, made suggestions as needed/ requested, and made our ceremony unique to us and our families.

We had a non-traditional ceremony in a way as neither my husband nor I are particularly religious, but our families are. She took stories from Tony and I about how we met and fell in love, added some readings/ blessings (which we had a choice in) and organized everything from the sage cleansing, to the stories, to the vows and ring exchange, and the handfasting perfectly. Stacy sent us a copy of the ceremony in advance for us to look over and make any changes to it that we felt that we needed to. She was wonderful to help us be true to ourselves, but respect our families traditions all at the same time.

We had a few snafus (I was late and we were missing some items) and Stacy was abundantly patient with us. She was a calming energy in the midst of chaos. Several people mentioned that the vows and ceremony were the most beautiful (and fun!) that they had experienced. She provided us with a printed copy of the ceremony and a keepsake copy of a marriage certificate.

We highly recommend Stacy.

We had an out of town wedding and so thankful to have found life celebrant STacy Mitchell. She met with us when we were in town, corresponded to us via email when we were out of town and helped us to build a beautiful wedding ceremony that reflected us. She had a detailed eye and asked all the right questions. She is very calm, very collected and easy to get along with. On our wedding day she wore something that blended in well with the wedding and really complimented our theme. A couple people commented on this aspect actually. Overall we had a wonderful experience with Stacy Mitchell and would highly recommend her.

Stacy created for us a dream wedding ceremony. Stacy took the greatest parts of our relationship and turned them into a story that could be shared with everyone present at the ceremony. Her work is nothing short of amazing, and her professionalism is without equal. During the whole process I felt like I was in great hands and never for a second worried about the ceremony, and for those of you planning a wedding you know just how great a gift that can be.

Stacy has a true gift for seeing the love two people share and translating that into a story unique to the couple that can be not only told, but more importantly felt by everyone. The questionnaire Stacy provides is well worth investing time and energy into, as the more honest you are the better the result.

I highly recommend Stacy to anyone looking to be married. She has a true talent for this, and on a day as important as ones wedding, you can't afford to have anyone less than perfect officiating. =)

From the time we began planning, Stacy was everything we were looking for in an officiant. She was so down to earth and easy to talk to and flexible to any changes we wanted to make. She really listened to us and in the end, Stacy created a ceremony that was exactly what we hoped for. She really captured everything we wanted to on that day. We still get compliments from guests that it was one of the best ceremonies they'd been a part of. Not too short, not too long, not too cheesy...just right. We couldn't be happier with how our ceremony turned out and the guidance from Stacy that made it that way.

We had a very intimate wedding ceremony in Pismo Beach. We were concerned about our arrangements because we live out of the area. Stacy did a fantastic job. She designed and delivered such a beautiful ceremony that truly reflected our personalities and maintained our desire for a personal, intimate wedding. Thank you so much for all your beautiful work!

Stacy was wonderful in every way. She took the time to really get to know my fiance and I and drafted multiple versions of our ceremony, tailoring it until it fit us perfectly. Nearly everyone in attendance laughed and cried at some point. She was so fun and easy to work with, I can't recommend her enough.

Stacy was an excellent officiant. She really listened to us and cared about how we wanted our wedding to feel. She wrote a personalized ceremony for us and even took our feedback for a total of three drafts. So many of our guests have said that ours was the most unique ceremony they've seen, and that it was perfect!

We loved Stacy! We got married in Shell Beach on 9/2/12. Our ceremony was everything we wanted plus more. She did a fantastic job! All of our guests had nothing but wonderful things to say about our ceremony.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
