Susan Stone
Certified Life-Cycle Celebrant
Wedding Officiant, Sacramento, CA
About me
I have been co-creating and performing ceremonies with family and friends for over twenty years. I'm very excited to be doing what I love, and working with you to create the perfect ceremony for your life event! I am certified as a civil Life-Cycle Celebrant® through the Celebrant Foundation & Institute, as well as an ordained minister through the Universal Life Church (a requirement for performing legal marriages in California). I'm also a health care provider ~ I've worked closely with women and families for over 30 years, sharing the triumphs and challenges of life, birth and death as a registered nurse, nurse practitioner and a nurse midwife.
Ceremonies to honor your life: Weddings and more
As your Celebrant, I will meet with you for a no-obligation interview to hear more about your important life event. If we are a good match and you decide to hire me, I will gather information about you, the story of your relationship or journey, your hopes and desires. All of these details will be woven into a unique and individual ceremony, including readings, symbols and rituals that reflect what is most meaningful for you. You will have complete control over every word before it becomes a final product. I will perform your ceremony on your special day, and will provide you with a keepsake copy of your ceremony.
Why Choose a Celebrant?
A certified civil Life-Cycle Celebrant® is a professional ceremony officiant who "believes in the power and effectiveness of ceremony and ritual to serve basic needs of society and individuals."
Graduates of the Celebrant Foundation and Institute certificate program are trained in the theory and history of ceremony, symbolism, rituals and traditions from around the world.
