About

Dear Engaged Couples,

There are a lot of wonderful officiants and celebrants out there so you may be wondering what sets me apart from the rest. Let me begin by saying that I am a trained celebrant, minister and anthropologist which means that I have both spiritual and academic insight, along with practical experience, into the history and creation of ceremony and ritual and the importance that many people place on their role when celebrating the milestones of their lives.

Secondly, I am fully vested in providing you with caring service and an attentive ear. Beginning with our initial contact I pay attention to what you want and don't want in your ceremony and will work to co-create that ceremony with you.

When I arrive at our initial consultation I will bring sample ceremonies and photos from past weddings so you can get a sense of my style. During the weeks and months leading up to your wedding, I am but a phone call, text message or email away if you want to bounce an idea off me or make changes. I also use this time to coordinate with your wedding planner and other professionals so that we can work together to ensure that your wedding goes smoothly. Finally on the day of your wedding I arrive 45 minutes - 1 hour early to review the license and work out any details and then, rather than rushing off to my next appointment, I allow ample time after your wedding for signing the license and other post-ceremony details. If you have any wedding related problems or questions after the big day I am at your service. In short, I'm there for you from beginning to end.

Your Wedding Package Includes:

  • Complimentary initial. consultation either face to face or via Skype or Duo.
  • Unlimited support and follow-up via email or telephone
  • Customized or standard wedding ceremony
  • My arrival 1 hour prior to ceremony start time
  • Completing and filing of marriage license
  • Timely response to any post-ceremony issues

So if you're planning a wedding in the Southern California area, please contact me by telephone at (562) 967 1091 or email at connie@officiantlady.com

Beautiful and simple

My partner and I wanted a quick and easy, no frills marriage service and Connie came through. We felt a little awkward wanting such a stripped down ceremony but Connie made it feel like a top tier service. Thank you Connie!

Joyful, personable and reliable.

Rev Connie Jones-Steward was an absolute pleasure to work with on my best friends wedding. She came highly recommended by the Reef in Long Beach. She arrived early, had a joyous and soulful demeanor that made the ceremony so special.

Fantastic Officiant!

My wife and I made the best decision seeking out Connie to officiate our wedding! We knew right from our first Skype meeting with her that she was the one. She did an excellent job on our wedding. Her love story was phenomenal! We have been hearing non stop how wonderful our wedding was from all of our guests. I highly recommend Connie, she is amazing!

Awesome and easy to work with ‘

Rev Connie married us on 5/10/19. She was a pleasure to work with. Always there to answer questions and able to get in contact with easily. She was very punctual the day of the ceremony and everyone loved her energy while officiating the ceremony. Afterwards she swiftly filed our paperwork with the county and we received our marriage certificate a few weeks later. I would definitely recommend Reverend Connie for any officiating needs

Reverend Connie Jones-Steward provided an outstanding wedding ceremony for us. We couldn't have asked for anything better. She met with us for an interview to understand what we were looking for, and also had each of us answer a detailed questionnaire so that she may get to know us through each of our points of view. We are 2 women who have been together for 14 years, and weren't going to marry until it was legal nationwide. We are not outright religious, but have more of a Wiccan-based philosophy.
The ceremony she put together gave our guests a look into our lives, our long-time love, and our hopes for the future. It was very touching, tasteful, accurate, and humorous too. We did a hand-fasting ceremony, ring exchange, exchanged our own vows, and jumped the broom. Our guests were laughing and crying. Everyone commented on what a touching ceremony it was. It was absolutely great!
We highly recommend Reverend Connie! Jody and Pat

Reverend Connie Jones-Steward met with us on very short notice, and provided us with exactly the sort of experience we were looking for. Communication is very good -- she understood what was important to us and made it happen.

Reverend Connie Jones-Steward made our special day special and I would certainly recommend her service. She walked us through the process of how to start the process of retrieving our marriage license. She took care of filing the paperwork in court This definitely helped to ease me and my husband's mind.

Connie is great! We had the pleasure of working a wedding with her last year and it was a joy to listen to her at the ceremony. She was very professional and genuine, and her words were sincere. It was definitely apparent that she loves what she does! I hope we get to work together again soon!!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Reverend Connie Jones-Steward during a wedding earlier this year. Her message delivery and choice of commitment wording was beautiful and left some of the guests in tears, in addition to the bride and groom! We hope to work with you again in the near future!
