Susan Stone, Celebrant

Susan made our day! Before our ceremony, she was wonderful to work with. She started by really getting to know our story with in-depth questionnaire, and then spent so much care on putting our ceremony together. We trusted her input every step of the way, but she gave us room to customize so that everything felt comfortable and just like us. Susan was there the day before for our rehearsal and worked easily with our event coordinator. The day of, our ceremony was perfection. All of our guests kept commenting on how personal the ceremony was, and how lovely it was to have a dedicated voice to tell our story. We are so thrilled she was there for our day! More...

Susan was an absolute dream to work with. She takes what she does very seriously and puts in a tremendous amount of work to make sure that the ceremony reflects the couple perfectly. My husband and I met with Susan almost a year before our wedding, and after just a short meeting with her, we knew she was the celebrant we wanted. Susan sent both my husband and myself an extensive survey with in depth questions, so she could really get a feel for us individually and our relationship together. Once we submitted the survey to her, she drafted a ceremony for us and sent it over for us to add to/edit. She was so thoughtful in how she told our story, it was both touching and humorous, which is exactly what we wanted. She did such a great job making the meaningful moments stand out and still giving the ceremony some levity so it wasn't too serious. Everything flowed so well, and it really reflected the bond my husband and I share.
Susan doesn't offer up some cookie cutter ceremony that she performs for every client, she weaves a story just for you and your partner that fits who you are and the tone you want to convey during your wedding. Not to mention, Susan has a very pleasant voice and a wonderful cadence to the way she speaks; she is a natural story teller, plus she is just a really nice person.
Having Susan marry us, was easily one of the best choices we made for our big day, and we would do it again in a heart beat. If you and your partner put in the work and answer her survey open and honestly, she will put together something beautiful for you. You will not be disappointed. Susan is truly fantastic! More...

My now-wife and I interviewed six officiants before we decided on Susan, and we are really happy with that choice. She sent us a detailed questionnaire about ourselves and our relationship, which we answered separately. She then crafted a beautiful ceremony using elements of our own words about each other and our feelings about our upcoming marriage.

The nice thing about engaging Susan’s services is that she is very flexible. There were some things I wrote on the questionnaire that ended up feeling too personal to include in the ceremony, and she made it very easy for us to edit the ceremony as we liked. She was also very easy to reach and proactively connected with our venue coordinator, DJ, photographer, and videographer so that everyone would be on the same page for the ceremony. That took a lot of work and stress off of us.

Many of our wedding guests complimented our ceremony and specifically called out Susan’s warmth and speaking style. A guest who is in her mid-60’s even said “That was the best ceremony I’ve ever heard in my life, and I’ve been to a lot of weddings!” We are super grateful for all of Susan’s hard work and we’ve recommended her to all of our engaged friends!

Susan worked closely with us to get to the heart of what was important to us. She has great ideas, but only offers them as suggestions because her goal was to merely guide and inspire us in creating our ceremony. She is full of heart and compassion, and worked along side us as we edited and revised our drafts. Her professionalism and passion for what she does shine brightly. Because of her talent and experience, our ceremony was distinctly about us, and we loved it. More...

Susan was excellent. My husband and I were a bit of a pain to work with and she didn't bat an eye. We exchanged many emails with edits and different tweaks to get a great outline for our ceremony.

Susan spoke beautifully for our wedding ceremony while sharing a very small rock in the middle of a lake with us :-) She's a rock star! From the get go she was patient and very understanding as we created a ceremony that included a Japanese Shinto tradition and religious aspect. She wrote our ceremony and did a great job blending the two together and incorporating our feedback. Susan is warm, funny, witty, and all around awesome. I would highly recommend her for any ceremony or blessing! More...

We found Susan when looking for a officiant for our same sex wedding. We are so glad we did because she was nothing short of fantastic. Easy to work with and responsive to our requests. The ceremony she did was customized to us as a couple and she worked well with our family and vendors with what was a different type of ceremony. Our ceremony was everything we wanted to be musical, emotional and personal. Many of our guests commented how beautiful it turned out and how it was "so us". Thanks again Susan. More...

My wife and I knew we wanted our ceremony to be a one of a kind representation of our love. We considered several different officiants, but after meeting with them the choice was clear. Susan is easy going, funny, professional and flexible. She worked with us and was very responsive to our needs. She assisted in creating a ceremony that matched our desired tone and was lighthearted and meaningful. She even assisted us in crafting our vows, which was quite a bit more work than we initially thought.

On the big day, there were some unforeseen events, but Susan eased our concerns and fixed a bad situation! Susan is a very safe choice for those looking for a lasting and memorable ceremony. She went above and beyond and I am so grateful to her for the hard work she put in and the results she achieved. We’ve heard nothing but compliments on our choice of having Susan be our officiant.

Honestly Susan doesn’t charge enough given what she brings to the table. More...

Having Susan officiate our wedding was the best decision ever! My husband and I are atheists, and very science-oriented people (our whole wedding was astronomy themed), so we wanted to find an officiant that had great reviews for non-denominational weddings. Susan showed up in our Wedding Wire results page.

After hiring her, we had a great experience filling out her informational questionnaires and individual interviews, plus a Skype call to virtually meet her and tell her our story. She was able to glean so much information from just those pieces of us, and assembled a ceremony that truly spoke to us as a couple, our views on love, and the world. It was so surprising how much it seemed like she knew us from the very start of our relationship!

We got so many compliments on our ceremony, with family and friends saying that they'd never been to a wedding quite like ours. It had heart, history and a touch of humor, which we loved so much. She was able to make our union a sacred one, even without having to mention things like "faith" or religious context. We did a Celtic handfasting ceremony since we have Irish heritage, and that union ceremony pre-dates most religions and serves more as a binding contract between two people. She had plenty of samples and examples for us to use as reference points, and was able to completely customized what she was going to say on the Big Day. Very collaborative and creative at the same time.

Giving Susan a 5/5 simply doesn't do her justice - she's a 10! More...

Susan was so wonderful to work with. Kind, professional and genuinely sincere. As an older couple getting married, our responses to Susan's questions were quite different then the younger generation, however, she created a warm, funny and loving ceremony for us.

Susan was wonderful! First off, it was perfect that we were able to have her with only a couple of months before the wedding. She created a personalized 20 minute wedding ceremony for us, arranged to practice the rehearsal at our home after we found out it'd be storming at our venue all day, and gave us a personal unique booklet of the entire ceremony afterwards. We are non denominational and wanted for focus on love and our story rather than religion, and her ceremony was superb! People told us it has been the nicest ceremony they've seen performed.
