WEDDINGS WITH SARAH

Your wedding is a momentous event in your life that should honor and celebrate your unique relationship. I firmly believe that a stranger at your ceremony should leave feeling like they know you and who you are as a couple. Using my background as a Spiritual Director, ritualist and event planner, I listen to the stories of your relationship for the moments of courage and the amazing ways that you live into the authenticity of your relationship.

 

I listen for the stories of bliss and the tales of disagreement that every couple experiences. I listen for the quiet moments when one knows what is right, for one’s own self or with our partners. I then weave these moments of a couples’ shared life into a customized wedding ceremony that represents and expresses the love they share.  


Each of us long to be known and to be our truest self and we want to express our authenticity especially within the ceremony where we make sacred promises to one another. I am passionate about creating spaces where that desire for authentic expression can be realized.  Whether using religious or secular language, the personalized wedding ceremonies I create help couples reflect to their assembled guests the personality of their relationship and the values they hold together.  I hold a Masters of Arts degree in Theology.  I have officiated weddings in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and California.


I look forward to turning your stories into an event that is truly yours.

“Thank you so much for making our day memorable. You wrote and spoke of our lives in such a way it left everyone complimenting our ceremony. The words truly resembled our lives. Your work is amazing! Something I overlooked (the ceremony) actually left it my favorite part of the day. Thank you Sarah!”

"It so wonderful to meet with you! Doug was so at ease, which is hard to do. He's a tough sell in truth- very introverted and guarded, so when we left and he said "I really liked her... That's the way to go" I knew it was an easy decision."

"I worked with Sarah, at a wedding at Camrose Flower Farm in Stillwater in May. What a lovely experience. She was professional, and personable. She kept the couples vision of their wedding at the forefront and was always considerate of all the people involved with planning a wedding. She worked exceptionally well with all the vendors, parents, and the couple to help everyone; not only was everyone able to focus on the couple, but also to have fun in being a part of the wonderful day.

 

I especially enjoyed the Blessing of the Rings that she included in the ceremony. It was a lovely way to include the wedding party, the families, and the guests in such a significant part of the ceremony. Sarah's message of love for the couple, was geared especially towards them, and this made the service even more special. A customized message is such a wonderful way for the couple to start out their newly married life together.

 

As the wedding coordinator, there are many details that must be coordinated, and working with Sarah, made that aspect of the day so simple. She was professional, and open to suggestions, she allowed me to offer up various recommendations for walking in and out of the ceremony, as well as requests to help manage the time structure of the day. She was excellent with communicating the order of the service and in seeking clarification for any details of the ceremony that the couple wanted to have included.

 

I have had the joy of working with Sarah, and would (and have) highly recommended her to other clients of mine."

Sarah did an incredible job as my wedding day officiant. After our initial meeting I knew I chose the right person. Sarah is relaxed and fun. She is also very creative when it comes to her writing style. She was wonderful to work with and very professional. She really captured my husband and I on our most special day! Thank you Sarah! My wedding wouldn't have been as amazing without you and your work. :) <3
