Who is Cicely, really?
Do you ever feel like you are asking your wedding professionals the same questions over and over again? I thought it would be fun to ask a few non-traditional questions to Cicely Rocha-Miller of Life Design Event Planning to spice things up a tad!
We actually met Cicely when she was a My Wedding Film bride a few years ago – I always love it when we get to continue the strong relationship we build with our couples years later. Cicely is an immensely talented AZ wedding planner and I’d highly suggest checking her out!
If you want Cic to email you more on what she can offer to make your wedding perfect, just fill out the little form below and she’ll get you everything you need!
Get to know Cicely
1) What is the origin of your name, “Cicely?” There has got to be a story behind it….
To be honest… my Mom was just trying to pick an unusual name, and being the first girl in the family (and having two older brother’s named Bill & Ernie) she thought Cicely was certainly something different. It did help that her Mother was born in Palermo, Italy and that she was Sicilian. Mom also tells me that she saw the name in a baby book and it meant “musical,” which is a passion of our family.
2) What is the strangest thing you have ever done?
One day while my husband Joey and I were vacationing in Italy, we were walking the fashion district on the streets of Florence. We noticed this handsome Florentine salesman standing outside his very small shop. Randomly, Joey bet me to pull on the guys very posh silk tie. At first, I replied, “No Way!” but then as we walked by him I lightly tugged and said, “Ding Dong. I like your tie!” in a high pitched nursery rhyme tone. The nicely dressed man looked at me puzzled and then like clockwork the three of us started laughing hysterically. I am not sure if he understood English but he certainly thought I was strange.
3) Why do you love planning weddings?
Life is truly defined by all our wonderful and amazing experiences and I love being a part of those celebrations. I love weddings in particular because of the profound connections (literally) it has on lives eternally. Weddings give me an intense amount of insight to those marrying and also to their family and friends – and the planning journey it takes us on is so individual and different for every client. Plainly, I love weddings simply because of what it stands for – love – which to me is the meaning of life.

My Wedding Film was started by two sisters with a penchant for creativity and a desire to change the way wedding video was viewed.
Tossing aside the usual, Darby and Ande dove head first into creating what are now known as "Wedding Films." They spent years refining and defining the art of wedding cinematography.
They wanted to create a movie that could and would delight audiences who both knew the couple and those who didn't
Don't be surprised if you get caught up in the emotion of someone else's wedding film and imagine how powerful your own Wedding Film will be!
I’ll have to say that the tie story is the one thing that I’m going to remember about this post and about Cicely. Very funny.
