I am a Certified Life Cycle Celebrant, specializing in weddings. I'm also a non-denominational minister. I design and co-create with you a personalized, soulful ceremony that speaks to who you are, as well as who you are becoming. I am especially appropriate for people who consider themselves spiritual, but not religious. I have been interested and involved in ritual and ceremony for many years. I am a former SF Bay Area Marriage and Family Therapist. I also have a music (voice) and theater background and I continue to sing. I bring all my skills and training to making your ceremony totally come alive and be meaningful to you and your guests. I promise it will be a ceremony that neither you nor your guests will ever forget! And that’s what you want, because a wedding is one of the most important events in a person’s life. And your guests get to share these special moments with you. Every relationship has a story and my job is to tell yours, your way. I work with many kinds of couples, including different nationalities, different religious backgrounds, and same sexes. I especially like to do and have done: Creative or unusual weddings Earth-based ceremonies Interfaith weddings Music consultation and/or singing at weddings

Make it Official! Congrats! You and your partner have decided to get married! As you plan all the details of the big day, you may be wondering who will guide the ceremony so it lives up to your expectations. You may be sorting through religious and cultural traditions, trying to knit together a ceremony that feels authentic. You may be asking each other, how do we make this official? You've come to the right place! I can create a custom ceremony; one that is uniquely tailored to authentically represent your union. I'll be your guide and co-creator, as we weave together ancient and contemporary, traditional and unconventional. On the big day, I can solemnize the union with style, grace, and warmth. About Rachael PASSION + TALENT I officiated my first wedding in July of 2016, for 2 dear friends—Dan and Melissa. I enjoyed working alongside them to create a ceremony that reflected their relationship. I enjoyed the ceremony and received such encouraging feedback, I knew I’d love to offer this service to others. This creative and spiritual endeavor combines my love of public speaking, strong writing skills, and my abiding faith in the divine and the conviction that we are sacred. DIVERSITY + THE DIVINE I was raised in--and still practice--the Protestant Christian tradition. I believe, however, there are many paths to the divine. I am ready to accept the presence or absence of faithI am comfortable in any cultural or religious tradition, including atheism, agnosticism, and secular humanism. I can and get along with just about anyone. I grew up in the midwest, spent time out east, and now live here in San Francisco. I am a bi-racial and well-traveled woman, eager to learn about the traditions that matter to you and your partner. ORDINATION I am ordained by American Marriage Ministries, a non-profit, interfaith and non-denominational church. American Marriage Ministries believes that the choice of wedding officiant belongs to the couple.

I attended the University of Michigan for undergrad, directed a faith-based non-profit in Kalamazoo, and then headed to pursue a graduate degree in City Planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After a few years in Long Beach, California, my partner and I settled here in San Francisco. I enjoy my day job as a city planner, as well as my hobbies: politics, performance, and being outdoors!

You dream of a wedding ceremony that reflects your love story. You want the moment to resonate with what is important to you and illuminate the fact that you are exactly where you are supposed to be. You deserve this and more. My mission is to design and deliver a custom ceremony that honors the unique and natural stories that make you, you. Personal story telling and listening to others as they share their life experiences has always captivated me and took me on my own journey to become a therapist. I find so much joy in human connection and I truly believe that love in all of its forms creates the acceptance and authenticity that people need to feel whole. My passion for listening and creating space for expression allows me to see your inner light shine through and retell your unique love story in ways that remind you that you are exactly where you are meant to be. The process of our work together involves a series of meaningful questions and personal reflection that will strengthen your bond as a couple. Together we can create a ceremony that incorporates traditions old and newly imagined, so that you and your partner can experience the wedding you've both been hoping for. I'd love to create this together!

Day-of-Wedding Planner A Day-Of-Wedding Planner is a perfect solution for couples who have decided to handle most of the planning themselves. Planning your own wedding is a great way to stay on budget and to keep costs down. But when your wedding day arrives, you will need a professional on your side to execute the minute-by-minute specifics of your plan. Many couples ask their maid-of-honor, a family member, or a friend to handle this task. But managing all of these details can be very stressful. In most cases, family and friends have no experience managing an event and too-often end up feeling overwhelmed as they try to focus on everything that must be done to ensure your day runs smoothly. Your Day-of-Wedding Planner will be on-site from beginning to end. We will be the focal point, the main contact person on your wedding day. Before your wedding day, though we are certainly available to brainstorm and answer your planning questions, all agreements should be finalized with your vendors prior to the wedding. A Broadway production needs a stage manager ... your wedding needs a Day-Of Planner!

Mazal Tov to you and your sweetheart for experiencing the sacred under your Chuppah. I will guide you through the Ceremony and that experience will always be a precious memory. Here are excerpts from the Ceremony. Together, we will personalize the words and rituals that your families and friends witness. The Wedding Ceremony: An Act of Kiddushin May the covenant, which you are consummating, enrich and ennoble your lives. May you tap the inner wellspring of your being as you present each other with the gifts of self. Affection and companionship are freely given. Gladness and joy freely shared. Peace in your hearts and in your home freely sought. May this covenant sustain you in times of trial and comfort you when mystery seems to rule. May it unite and strengthen you in your search for faith and trust, for meaning and purpose. May your covenant join your lives and your histories together. And may your bond of marriage be sealed with everlasting love. *** You have spoken the words and performed the rites that unite your lives. You are now husband and wife, husband and husband or wife and wife, and a family. The life before you is committed to cheerfulness, to reverence for each other, to respect for each other and to fidelity to this family. These are the cornerstones that link you together. These are the touchstones that reflect your highest hopes. *** Though you may yet know the cold, you will be warmth to each other. Though you may know the dark, you will be light to each other. May your years be long upon the earth and may all that is beautiful and true abide with you forever.

I provide a rainbow of guidance that comes from years of experience. This experience will enhance your special day and be a memorable, loving event that will be remembered by all! Mark J. Stone, PhD
