    Super Helpful Officiant Guidance for a First-Timer

    After my friends' wedding turned into more of an elopement due to covid-19 restrictions, they asked me to officiate their outdoor, socially-distanced ceremony. Stephanie wrote an awesome ceremony for my friends, and she helped prep me - from getting ordained to what to know for the big day. I had no clue what I was doing going in, so Stephanie's insight and expertise was a huge help! She was a pleasure to work with, and I couldn't have done it without her!

    Perfectly Personalized Elopement Ceremony

    Your search for an officiant is over. Steph is the best! She was recommended by our photographer, and we are so glad she was available. The ceremony was personal and felt like us as a couple. She also brought a great calm, warm and friendly energy to our intimate elopement. Can't recommend her enough!

    Stephanie is incredible!

    We had the most perfect wedding day and it wouldn't have been the same without Stephanie as our officiant. Since we live out of town, we didn't get a chance to meet her in person until our wedding day, but she took the time to meet with us prior to our big day via zoom and answer all of our questions, both about the ceremony itself and about the logistics and paperwork of obtaining a marriage license. Stephanie wrote and delivered a beautiful ceremony for us that captured exactly who we are as individuals and as a couple- and many of our guests came up to us afterward to tell us the same! We didn't write our own vows, so she instead included some of our questionnaire answers about each other, which we loved. It was so authentic to us, which is exactly what we wanted. She is a great listener, incredibly kind, sweet, and cares deeply about creating a ceremony that is personalized and meaningful- and it shows!

    Logistically, she is a pro. She ensured the ceremony ran so smoothly, letting the guests know when to sit or stand, when to put phones away, etc. As someone who cares a lot about photos, I am particularly grateful that she reminded us to look at each other during the ceremony and even stepped away from the altar before announcing our first kiss!
    We are so grateful she helped create our perfect day!

    Fantastic!

    Stephanie jumped in to officiate our wedding when our original officiant tested positive for Covid the day before. I was nervous, since I had never met Stephanie before, but she was incredible. She met with our original officiant, caught up on all her notes about our preferences, and knocked it out of the park. It was definitely unique to meet my officiant at the alter, but she was wonderful. I would recommend her to anyone getting married in Tahoe.

    We could not have found a better, sweeter person to marry us.

    Stephanie is so warm, kind and was so committed to making our wedding special and personal. The script she wrote was heartfelt and really reflected how my husband and I love each other. She's the perfect person to bring two people together in marriage.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommend

    Stephanie was an absolute delight to work with. She is organized, responds to questions quickly, and is genuinely such a nice person.

    Stephanie transformed what seemed like a simple questionnaire and brief virtual meeting into the most intimate, personal and heartwarming ceremony. She truly surpassed our expectations and left us and our guests moved by the celebration of our marriage.

    My husband and I can’t recommend Stephanie highly enough - it was a pleasure to have her as a part of our special day.

    Stephanie is Exactly who you want as your Officiant!

    Stephanie is genuine, sweet, and caring! She was always on time and present for all our meetings (out of ALL our vendors, Stephanie was the only one who did not show up late or forget a meeting.) so we were very appreciative for her professionalism! She asked thoughtful questions, was patient to our needs and answered all our questions. Stephanie has a unique background as a Social Worker, and I think her background and expertise in this area clearly shows in her role as an officiant. She guided our ceremony just perfectly! She included all the elements of sweet, romantic, funny and my husband and I really felt she perfectly captured who we are. We couldn't be more thankful we found her and highly recommend her services!!

    Wonderful!

    We cannot even begin to express how grateful we are for Stephanie. Our wedding was effected by the Caldor fire and we had to find a new venue in 48 hours. Stephanie was so flexible and supportive throughout the whole process. She was a calming presence on our wedding day and helped make sure everything ran smoothly. We cannot imagine having anyone else marrying us.

    If you are looking for a loving, caring, and soothing officiant to make your wedding day special, Stephanie is the person for you

    Stephanie was brought to us by our elopement planner, Ruthanne Z. We are forever grateful for this. Because we were coming into South Lake Tahoe from out of town and we had one week to plan, we did not have the chance to meet Stephanie until moments before our ceremony. During the planning, Stephanie responded quickly to all our questions and she made sure she understood what we were looking for in our ceremony. On our wedding day, despite having met moments before, we were able to build an immediate connection with Stephanie. She has a soothing, calming, and loving presence to her. She moved through the ceremony with the perfect tempo to allow us to stay calm and present in such a big moment of our lives. The words she said were perfect and reflected exactly how we felt. During our vows, Stephanie allowed my husband and I to have our own moment alone. We felt it was just the two of us, holding hands, and telling each other how much we love each other. Stephanie was instrumental in making our day special. If you are looking for a loving, caring, and calming officiant to help make your wedding day special, Stephanie is the perfect fit.

    Perfect officiant!

    So happy to have found Stephanie through my wedding planner. We were looking for a non-denominational officiant who would help us make our ceremony more personalized. Stephanie did just that! We got so many compliments on how special our ceremony was. Stephanie is so sweet and personable, it was a pleasure getting to know her and she put our ceremony jitters at ease.

    Such a wonderful person and officiant!

    Stephanie truly embodies a warm and caring heart. She was such a wonderful addition to our ceremony! Her ideas and eloquence shine through in her delivery. She not only leaves the bride and groom feeling loved but the whole audience and participants. Stephanie-Thank you again for being part of our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful officiant!

    Amazing officiant!

    Stephanie was SUCH a pleasure to work with! She truly made our wedding ceremony feel like she had known us forever. Her words were so beautifully crafted that she brought most of my family to tears, and had me and my husband crying like babies lol! Stephanie made us so comfortable and has such a calming and gentle demeanor about her, it’s hard to explain! She even let my baby nephew take her hand and bring her to the trees to play in the pinecones. I highly recommend Stephanie!

    Best Officiant Ever

    I’m getting chills just thinking about how magical the day was because of Stephanie. She took time to get to know us and customize the ceremony to our style and our words. I was nervous about standing up there and Stephanie was the most soothing presence. My bridesmaids said they could listen to her talk all day long because she has a wonderful and comforting voice. Most of our guests were tearing up from just beautiful the words were. She really took the time to get to know us, our relationship, and our hearts. I could go on for hours about how amazing it was but even some of our older guests who have been to hundreds of weddings said it was the best ceremony they’ve ever attended. Thank you so much, we love you Stephanie!

    Unique Unforgettable Ceremomy

    Stephanie did a beautiful job officiating our wedding. She makes it unique by providing a questionnaire for a more personal ceremony. We loved that! But the best thing is that she did the entire ceremony in both English and Spanish. We had guests that only spoke Spanish and we wanted our guests to be involved in every way. Stephanie delivered! She did a phenomenal job, our guests were talking about how beautiful she made the ceremony all weekend long! My mother in law is religious, so Stephanie also added a prayer to begin the ceremony which was a beautiful touch. After the wedding was over she took care of all the paperwork and we did not have to stress about anything- she wanted us to enjoy being married right away. Thank you so much Stephanie!

    Stephanie did an amazing stepping in when our original officiant could not come. She was very organized and thorough. The ceremony went off perfectly with out any rehearsal. She incorporated our personalization beautifully.

    We would recommend her to anyone wholeheartedly!

    Stephanie tailored a ceremony so perfect for the two of us! From the moment we first spoke to her, she has made us feel comfortable and excited about our special day. She created a beautiful ceremony and supported us as we wrote our own vows. She was professional and kind as she walked us through every step before and after our wedding. Our special day was truly perfect and I know it wouldn't have been the same without Stephanie as our officiant.

    The best officiant!

    Stephanie was our officiant for our very small ‘elopement’ style wedding and we could not have dreamed of a better officiant! From our first emails and meeting she was so communicative, professional, warm and made us feel so comfortable even though we didn’t really know what we wanted in a ceremony. We did not want to write our vows but we wanted a very personal ceremony and she really made it PERFECT. I wanted to surprise my fiancé with a quote from The Office and she executed that perfectly too :) We cannot say enough good things about her work, I would 1000% recommend her to anyone!

    Just perfect!

    Stephanie was the perfect fit for our intimate elopement. She was able to create the perfect ceremony for us and make our friends and family far away feel like they were part of the day too. Stephanie's warmth and kindness radiate around her and we are so lucky we found her for our day! Our only wish is that we had gotten to spend more time with her! We would absolutely recommend Stephanie to anyone getting married in the Lake Tahoe area!

    Wonderful officiant coach!

    We originally hired Stephanie to officiate our Tahoe wedding. When we had a last minute change of location to Big Bear she saved the day by coaching one of our friends in the area to officiate for us instead. She wrote us a beautiful bilingual (English + Spanish) script for our ceremony that our close friend performed while my husband’s mom translated. The ceremony was incredibly personalized and my husband and I felt that it was representative of us, our cultures, and our relationship! On top of writing the script Stephanie was incredibly helpful getting our friend ordained and prepared so the process was smooth and stress free. We absolutely recommend hiring her if you are thinking about having a friend or loved one marry you!

    Five star experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    My husband and I decided to attempt a very last minute elopement in December of 2020 after having postponed our wedding twice due to covid. Our dating anniversary was on December 27th so we felt that date was the most special to elope on. The 27th was a Sunday and the weekend of the Christmas holiday so we weren’t sure if we’d be able to find vendors willing to make that date work so last minute. Luckily we found Stephanie through social media and from the very start she was an absolute godsend for us. Stephanie was so flexible, helpful, understanding and supportive to us while we were figuring out the details of our elopement in a very short amount of time. Having her help to handle the logistics that come with a quick elopement was indispensable. Things like guidance in acquiring a marriage license, finding a ceremony location and sourcing other local vendors would have been so much more stressful to figure out without her and she helped us glide through these tasks with ease and reassurance. It was wonderful. Even though we met just a month before our wedding she made us feel really comfortable and connected and she was able to create the most intimate and special ceremony for us. We could not image having anyone else as our officiant and we feel 100% that finding her was meant to be. She will be apart of our elopement story forever and we will forever be grateful for her. If you are thinking of eloping in Tahoe please do yourself a favor and contact Stephanie for your officiant, she will be the best and easiest decision you’ll make. Thank you Stephanie 🤍

    Winter Wonderland Elopement

    Stephanie made our elopement so special. She was elegant and professional. Stephanie wrote our service which made us both cry uncontrollably. She has a magical touch with words. Our elopement would not have been the same without Stephanie’s words of love.
