About

Your wedding ceremony is the heart of the whole event, and I specialize in creating intimate, personalized ceremonies that are meaningful and memorable. I'll work with you to ensure that every element of the ceremony incorporates powerful details that uniquely represent and reinforce the strength of your unique love. I will also be a calm and supportive presence for you at every step along the way.

There is a wide variety of unity rituals that can be included in your ceremony in addition to the exchanging of vows and rings. Some of the most popular include:​

  • Sand-blending
  • Wine-blending
  • Unity candles

I can also work with you to design a unique unity ritual all your own.

Services include traditional and non-traditional weddings and commitment ceremonies:

  • Same Sex
  • Elopements
  • Handfastings
  • Civil Unions
  • Vow Renewals/Anniversaries

I'm happy to perform your ceremony at any venue, everything from an elegant resort, to the top of a mountain trail or a spot down by the Rio Grande, to the cozy and intimate environment of a bed-and-breakfast.

As a certified Life Cycle Celebrant® and ordained Universal Life Church minister, I've been specially trained to create and perform personalized ceremonies that reflect your values and taste. ​I work closely with you on the ceremony script, consulting and revising as much as necessary until you are completely satisfied. You have the final say over every aspect of the ceremony. ​

I'll honor your wishes with just the right ceremony for you, whether you want something simple or elaborate, classic or quirky, interfaith, spiritual, or secular.

Susan was absolutely perfect for us! We completed a short questionnaire to help her get to know us. Having a destination wedding can be stressful, but she created an amazing ceremony and it turned out perfect! We recommend her 110%!!!

On August 1, 2014 I was able to marry my long-term partner. Susan Carpenter Sims was our Officiant. The service that she prepared was absolutely perfect for us. Her words were inspirational and eloquent. It felt like Susan had known us for a long time because the service was so personal. One more thing I was so impressed with was her flexibility - I had to change meeting times....and the time of the wedding due to weather - she worked with us every step of the way! If I ever planned on getting married again, I would ask Susan to Officiate. Since I don't plan on that, all I can do is hope that others will recognize her gift!

Susan was very professional and provided a high quality of service throughout the entire time we worked with her. She took the time to find out about our wants and needs for our wedding and delivered a beautifully written and tailored ceremony that contained all of the elements we requested (and more). While participating in the rehearsal and performing the ceremony, Susan was very personable and professional, and the entire process ran smoothly. I would highly recommend Susan as an officiant and am very pleased with the services she provided.
