Excellent Sacramento-area Celebrant

My now-husband and I instantly knew that Susan was the celebrant we wanted to go with for our wedding ceremony after our very first Zoom meeting. We were looking for a wedding celebrant pretty last minute and was recommended to contact Susan. Susan was luckily available for our date and rehearsal the day before and was able to send us a script to edit despite the quick turnaround. She had each of us fill out a questionnaire to get to know us and personalized the ceremony script with our own love story. She even suggested a creative unity ceremony idea that was perfectly fitting for our venue, and it added an extra special touch to our ceremony since we were doing private vows. Susan has a very warm and welcoming demeanor, yet is also very charismatic in person. She also has THE most graceful and elegant voice that you would want in a celebrant! Even my guests commented on how much they liked Susan and our wedding ceremony. I highly recommend her!

Amazing Ceremony

Susan did a fantastic job at capturing our relationship and making our ceremony personalized. We worked with her prior to the wedding to come up with a ceremony script, and it was very easy for us since she did a lot of the heavy lifting with all of the writing. All we had to do was answer her questionnaires, and she worked her magic. She also was extremely prepared and came out on our rehearsal day to make sure everything ran smoothly. Susan is also a very kind person, and we enjoyed working with her. Thank you, Susan!

We are Extremely Gracious

Susan was amazing and extremely professional. We were fortunate to find her, we were struggling to find somebody to officiate our wedding ceremony who wasn't a family member and lucky for us we found Susan!

She was top tier and communicated effectively to help guide us throughout the whole process of writing the ceremony speech. During the ceremony she was flawless and even printed out our vows for us to read and speak during the ceremony. Which was very generous considering weddings can be stressful and every bit of assistance, helps relieve some of that stress. She'll personalize the speech to tell your story and the outcome was perfect for us.

We loved Susan and we think any couple looking for a professional and kind officiant for their ceremony will be happy with her service.

Amazing, moving, personal ceremony - thanks to Susan!

We had a fantastic experience with Susan! We didn't know exactly what we wanted when we started, but she was so helpful and worked closely with us to create the perfect ceremony celebrating our relationship. At our wedding, many guests were moved to tears and commented that it was the most moving, personal ceremony they had ever heard. We couldn't have done it without Susan!

Susan is warm, thoughtful, and delightfully easy to work with!

We absolutely loved working with Susan! When we began the wedding planning process, we knew that we wanted our ceremony to feel intimate and personal, but had no idea where to start. Our wedding planner recommended Susan to us, and after our first conversation with her, we knew that her energy and communication style were exactly what we were looking for.

Susan is warm, thoughtful, and delightfully easy to work with. She had a collaborative process of getting to know us both individually and as a couple, and then using those insights, she created our ceremony outline. We were blown away by the first draft—she had nailed the style and tone we wanted. From there, we went back and forth a few times on small-scale revisions via email.

On the day of our wedding, we received so many compliments on our ceremony and Susan as a celebrant. Our friends and family shared that the ceremony felt unique and personal and that Susan perfectly balanced the gravitas of the occasion with a bit of humor and levity. We couldn’t agree more! Susan is wonderful and we absolutely recommend working with her!

Highly Recommend!

Our original officiant was not able to perform our ceremony, so Susan graciously stepped in. Susan did an exceptional job and we couldn't be happier with how our ceremony went. It was the perfect length, genuine, and thoughtfully crafted. She was responsive and professional, ultimately very easy to work with. I would highly recommend her.

Susan is spectacular!

Susan is truly the best! She has such a knack for officiating, she made us feel so comfortable and made the entire process easy. From the first inquiry, Susan was extremely responsive. We traded many back-and-forth emails editing the ceremony script until it perfectly reflected our vision. We expressed to Susan that we both have a fear of public speaking and didn’t want to do our own vows. Susan worked out all the details with us to make sure the ceremony was just as we hoped for. She wrote a script that told our story exactly as we’d like and any worries we might have had melted away! One of the best things about Susan was that she was not afraid to push back on the script and offer ideas. Out of nerves, we had deleted a lot of our love story. Susan encouraged us to keep it in, she let us know it’s what our guests wanted to hear, and we are so grateful she was willing to push us to keep those parts in the ceremony. It ended up being the perfect length, had a romantic and lighthearted tone, and many of our guests commented on how wonderful our ceremony was. Susan has such a welcoming presence, she always made us feel comfortable sharing our ideas, and she made our ceremony truly incredible. She speaks beautifully and with just the right tone and cadence. We cannot recommend Susan enough!!
