About Custom Ceremonies by Michele Zipp

Custom Ceremonies by Michele Zipp

Michele Zipp, Officiant + Ritualist

Love is love and love is everything. I am an Award-winning seasoned Officiant and have been creating custom ceremonies for couples since 2011. As a career writer and editor in the publishing industry, writing your love story is all part of my life's work. I'm also a Reiki Master and ritualist, and love including customized rituals for my couples. My ceremonies are rooted in love, all about the two of you, and crafted with intention, designed so you two feel present and connected. Let's create magic together for your ceremony!

Every person comes with their own unique energy. Couples who work with me tell me that they feel a sense of calm energy in my presence. That's so important to me — for every couple to feel confident that the ceremony will be a reflection of who they are, so they can be fully immersed in the moment and the energy of love.

In three words: Collaborative, Confident, Thoughtful

    Michele's ceremonies are always so special, we love recommending her for our Foxfire couples! She offers a customizable structure with as many or as few rituals and personal anecdotes as each couple would like. She offers excellent guidance on what to include and how, something that can be challenging for folks who are not used to speaking in front of others. Her ceremonies are thoughtful, intimate, and joyful, creating a truly special experience that is completely unique to each couple!

    As a planner, I've worked with Michele on multiple occasions and could not recommend her more! She is incredibly thoughtful and holds so much care for her clients, crafting a unique ceremony that reflects their relationship. She has an incredible calming presence, while also being one of the most professional vendors around. Any couple would be lucky to work with her!

    From the minute we met Michele we felt we had known her forever. She is so thoughtful in everything she does. The Ceremony she created for us captured our love story so perfectly. We all laughed, cried, and felt we experienced the most amazing gift. Michele is a treasure and we are so thankful we have found her

    Michele is an incredible person, so very thoughtful, intuitive, and talented! She is full of love and brought a sense of calm energy to our most magical custom ceremony. She also made us custom handfasting cording and a beautiful display for our ring exchange. Every word she wrote captured us so perfectly. All our guests said it was the most amazing ceremony they'd ever been to. We are so grateful to have found Michele!
