Andrew Sent on 06/04/2025The best person we hired for our wedding
Mitzi is a fantastic wedding officiant. She has the perfect amount of character, soul, and conscientiousness to lead a beautiful ceremony. We were convinced by her page by itself, but if you're still unsure, watch some of her recorded ceremonies and you are likely to find what you are looking for.
Her punctuality and responsiveness made us confident she would deliver all her work when she promised it. She took the time to get to know us and created a ceremony/script that matched the character of our relationship and values. I think we were unsure about all the things that should be said during our non-religious ceremony, but she really helped us fill those gaps because she saw us for who we are. It seems common to have a close friend or loved one be your wedding officiant nowadays, but we're glad we decided to use a professional like Mitzi. -

Shaina Sent on 05/06/2024We Loved Working with Mitzi!
Working with Mitzi was so easy, we highly recommend her if you are in need of an officiant! She's so professional and her communication was really good leading up to the event and the day of the wedding was perfect- just as planned! The ceremony was intimate and had a few funny moments, just as we wanted. Her questionnaire was thorough which is how she got to know us and write about us + we had a 1 hour zoom call to get aligned on the type of ceremony we wanted. Guests even commented that they really liked Mitzi :)Chaplain Mitzi Schwarz's reply:
Aw, Shaina and Brian, YOU were a DELIGHT to serve and work with!! You both are such warm, kind, and let’s not forget for two seconds, FUN people to work with! How you managed to pull off a surprise wedding was nothing short of remarkable, IMHO. I love your down-to-earth, easy going natures. I know you’re going to have so much happiness together, and I truly look forward to keeping in touch with you, for years and years to come!!! All my very, very best to you!!!!
Sincerely,
Mitzi -

Khristine Sent on 05/16/2025A Truly Special Experience with Mitzi - 25th Vow Renewal Ceremony
We had the absolute pleasure of having Mitzi as our officiant for our 25th vow renewal ceremony, and we couldn’t be more grateful. From the very first meeting, she was warm, attentive, and truly took the time to understand our story and the vision we had for our ceremony.
Mitzi’s professionalism was evident in every detail. She worked with us to create a personalized and meaningful ceremony, making sure every word felt authentic to our journey together. Her delivery was heartfelt, and it truly felt like she was part of our celebration, not just the person leading it.
Throughout the entire process, Mitzi was responsive and organized, answering all of our questions and offering guidance where needed. She made us feel at ease every step of the way.
If you're looking for an officiant who is both professional and deeply invested in making your special day perfect, we highly recommend Mitzi. She helped make our vow renewal ceremony a day we will cherish forever!Chaplain Mitzi Schwarz's reply:
Oh my goodness, Khristine and Harvey, it was beyond an honor and pleasure for me to be of service to you for your wedding vow renewal ceremony. You were such a pleasure to get to know, and your love and respect for one another is so palpable and genuine. Everyone who knows you and gets to know you, including me, can learn from you how beautiful it is to allow love grow and mature and deepen and change, just like the root and the rose that held so much symbolism for you throughout the ceremony. You two are the root, and you are the wild rose, too!!!!!
I wish you another 50 years (at least!) of happiness together!!!!! May you experience the deep and abiding joy of watching your own kids continue blossoming into adulthood, and may they have the same kind of loving relationships that you’ve so exquisitely modeled for them.
I look forward to keeping in touch, and to seeing where life will take you next!!
Sincerely,
Mitzi -

She made our wedding very special!
Mitzi was an excellent communicator and responded in a prompt manner whenever we reached out to her with questions. She was available over phone, text and Zoom and was accommodating of our preferences.
We communicated over text, email, phone and Zoom, whichever was best for the occasion. For instance, she met us over a Zoom call, while she was available via phone and email.
Mitzi went above and beyond to make the ceremony individualised in relation to our spirituality. She genuinely cared what our backgrounds and values were. Something I appreciated was that it was acknowledged that while my husband and I were similar in some ways in our spirituality, we have differences, and the ceremony reminded me of how they and we as individuals complement each other.
It was a beautiful ceremony on the beach, and Mitzi was encouraging of where we chose to get married that felt right to us, and made our elopement an experience that was a meaningful beginning to our marriage. It felt full with just the two of us.
Mitzi was a wonderful officiant and it was a pleasure to work with her. She brings warmth and an investment in your wedding being a meaningful event. Even though we were happy already to be getting married, Mitzi still brought a sense of joy to the ceremony that was infectious. I highly recommend working with Mitzi!Chaplain Mitzi Schwarz's reply:
Dear Liz,
Thank you so much for your kind, kind words.
It was such a pleasure getting to know you and Damon, and yes, it was very clear to me how much you complement each other. I’m so glad that you felt I brought this out in your elopement ceremony! You’re both gentle, strong people, and I love how much fun you share. I’m really glad you felt like your elopement was a full and complete celebration of your love. And, I feel so honored that I was able to be present with you, and that you chose me to pronounce you married. Thank you!! -

Mitzi was very professional and delivered on everything that was promised! I would highly recommend Mitizi for any that is in need of a Chaplin.Chaplain Mitzi Schwarz's reply:
Jebediah and Arun,
It was such an honour to pronounce you two husband and wife. Your love, and the ease you have around each other, is so lovely to be around. It was my deep pleasure getting to know you, your love story, and the deep commitment you have with one another. You are both incredibly giving people, and to have found one another is a precious, beautiful gift from God. I look forward to keeping in touch with you, and seeing all that life has in store for you!
And, thank you for such a kind review!! I truly appreciate it!
Sincerely,

We recently had the privilege of working with Mitzi, an outstanding wedding officiant who truly exceeded our expectations in every way possible. From the moment we reached out to her, she displayed an unparalleled level of professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care for our special day.
One of the most remarkable aspects of our experience was Mitzi's quick response time. Despite the short notice we provided, she promptly replied to our inquiry, easing our concerns and ensuring that we felt heard and valued from the very beginning.
What truly set Mitzi apart was her remarkable sensitivity to our needs. She took the time to understand our vision for the ceremony, attentively listening to our preferences, values, and beliefs. Her ability to translate our thoughts and emotions into a beautifully crafted script was simply remarkable. The resulting ceremony was intimate, heartfelt, and captured the essence of our love story perfectly. We cannot express our gratitude enough for the personalized touch she added to our special day.
Throughout the entire process, Mitzi demonstrated unwavering attentiveness and dedication to ensuring that our ceremony reflected our unique bond. Her attention to detail was commendable, and she effortlessly created a seamless flow of emotions, leaving both us and our guests deeply moved.
Working with Mitzi was an absolute pleasure. Her friendly and approachable demeanor made it easy for us to communicate our ideas and share our concerns. She exuded a calm and reassuring energy, which greatly contributed to the overall atmosphere of our ceremony. Her professionalism and warmth helped alleviate any nerves we had, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the joyous celebration of our love.
In conclusion, if you are searching for a wedding officiant who is quick to respond, capable of accommodating short notice, sensitive to your needs, and skilled at crafting an intimate script that captures the essence of your love, look no further. Our experience with Mitzi was nothing short of extraordinary. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to any couple who wants their wedding ceremony to be an unforgettable and deeply meaningful experience.
Thank you, Mitzi, for your unwavering dedication, attention to detail, and remarkable talent. You played an integral role in making our wedding day truly magical.Chaplain Mitzi Schwarz's reply:
Oh my goodness, Alina and Hiro, I’m blown away by you kind words! Thank you so, so much, and please know that I could not have performed your wedding ceremony with as much attention to the details of your relationship and what makes your lives as a couple so special if it hadn’t been for your openness to sharing with me who you are!!! I LOVE collaborating with couples so that I can craft the perfect ceremony for each unique “coupleship”. It was an honor to hear from you the story of your lives. You literally handed me a “theme”, if you will, of riding the waves of life together! What a joy to work with that image!
I look forward to keeping in touch, and hearing about all the wonderful moments that I know will come your way. I am so glad to have had this opportunity to get to know you!
Sincerely,
Mitzi -

Absolutely the very best!
Mitzi just officiated our wedding this past Saturday evening. We could honestly not be any happier with her leading the ceremony. Right from the start, Mitzi was extremely thorough, very professional, very organized, a true help to us and every possible way and quite frankly, the ceremony would not have been the same without her. She is so extremely friendly, heartwarming, caring and so kind. Her spirit brought such love to our ceremony and for that, my wife and I are forever grateful to Mitzi for being such a significant part of our wedding that we will forever remember and cherish thanks to her her truly exceptional love, kindness, friendliness and support. If you’re looking for and officiator to lead your ceremony, I would highly advise to stop your search right here and hire Mitzi today. I can assure you, you will not be disappointed.Chaplain Mitzi Schwarz's reply:
Dear Alan and Jennie, I cannot thank you enough for this kind, kind review. I'm not sure what to say... You are such a JOY. To be true to one's own heart and values is a real gift and blessing. That's why it was such an absolute joy for me to pronounce you married. And, your openness in sharing your Love Story with me made it easy and delightful to write a ceremony that embodied who you two are. I look forward to staying in touch with you and hearing about the wonderful hikes and adventures that I know you both will share. And also, to seeing where life takes your beautiful children. You've got so much goodness to look forward to!! Sincerely, Mitzi -

MITZI SCHWARZ
For mature transatlantic comedy fans the work of Peter Cook, who with his surrealist partner Dudley Moore led the pre Monty Python laughter invasion, is a joy to behold.
Exhibit A: Cook's madcap cameo as the "mawage" officiant in the deliriously funny "The Princess Bride," written by William Goldman and directed by Rob Reiner.
Now modesty forbids oneself and my new LA bride (Lenore Lowen Alemoru) being the Cary Elwes and Robin Wright of that particular finely scripted romance, but we do owe a debt to our wonderfully humorous and kind Chaplain Mitzi Schwarz, who superbly and sublimely officiated our October 18 wedding at The Ambrose Hotel in Santa Monica.
In a pre-planned almost to the second 40 minute ceremony, Mitzi delivered a hybrid Christian-Jewish-Yoruba blessing in front of our nearest and dearest as her bon mots danced brilliantly into the ether of a spectacular, sunlit mid morning to late afternoon day.
However, amazingly, I had only spoken to Mitzi for the first time just over a month before our big day and that was on an introductory call from my home city of Manchester, UK, after my then fiancée discovered her details online.
The connection was instant as she absorbed our romantic story and then set up an immediate zoom interview followed by a detailed questionnaire about how and why we got together, exactly what kind of ceremony we wanted, who would be attending and what input did we want them to have?
Mitzi then wove a touching wedding ceremony script around "The Bard and Milady" that will live long in the memory.
For us Mitzi is a "tweasure."

Chaplain Mitzi Schwarz's reply:
Olu and Lenore,
What writers you are!! And what a joyful couple!
I was so delighted to get to know you, aka The Bard and Milady, well enough not only to be able to blend and combine all of said elements into your wedding ceremony, but also to be able to tell a bit of your love story to your guests, who couldn't have been more joyful and spirited on this most auspicious day. There was lots of love there in Santa Monica at the Ambrose Hotel!!
I'm so glad that you felt supported, and seen, and honored by your erstwhile wedding officiant, i.e., moi, on that eventful day in October. In fact, tomorrow will be your one-month wedding anniversary!! So to you and Lenore, I say Àyè rẹ́ o; Mazal Tov; and, Congratulations, Newlyweds!!
Sincerely,
Mitzi -

Stephanie Sent on 12/01/2024We loved her
My husband and I loved loved Mitzi, she met our expectations and then some, she did all our Mexican traditions like a pro that she is. We definitely would recommend her.Chaplain Mitzi Schwarz's reply:
Dear Stephanie and Antonio,
I was so happy that you chose to hire me to be your wedding officiant! I loved getting to know you, and incorporating traditions into your ceremony that were meaningful to you. I wish you all the best in the future; you two are each other’s best cheerleaders, and it was so much fun for me watching you have so much fun together!! All the best!
Sincerely,
Mitzi -

Katie Sent on 06/11/2023Review from a Wedding Pianist
As a wedding pianist, I found Mitzi to be one of my favorite officiants I’ve worked with. She was kind, very organized, and made sure we were on the same page about cues. She was very clear with her plan with me. I find myself often at edge when an officiant gives me ambiguous instructions or is unorganized. With Mitzi I found myself completely at ease the ceremony flowed perfectly.
She wrote a beautiful script that was clearly personalized to the Bride and Groom. She never once made the ceremony about herself and was able to create a ceremony that blended the Bride and Grooms different cultural backgrounds. Definitely recommend Mitzi!Chaplain Mitzi Schwarz's reply:
Hi Katie,
Thank you so much for your review of my work! One of the things I work hardest on is to be a good team player. At the end of the day, we are all here for one reason and one reason only: to make a couple’s wedding day as awesome, smooth, and totally as memorable as possible. This is their day, and we are all here for them!! Working and collaborating with my fellow wedding industry teammates is as much a joy for me as creating one-of-a-kind wedding ceremonies for couples. And I cannot say this emphatically enough: I look forward to being open to all those times when I can proudly refer a couple to you and your awesome services! Looking forward to much more collaboration with you! -
