Excellent, amazing, wonderful, glorious!!!

Sarah is the person you want and need to officiate your wedding. Every single step of the way she was absolutely lovely. From our very first call with her we knew she was exactly what we needed. She really focused on our specific love story and we had multiple calls and emails back and forth planning each part of our ceremony so that absolutely every word felt like us. If anything felt even a little bit off she changed it for us. You can tell she takes great pride and great care in her work and with each couple. We wanted a tree planting for our unity ceremony and she wrote one just for us! We were unsure about doing unity candles and she MADE us beautiful candles that matched our theme and were personalized to us! (Could she be more amazing?!!) we got married a month ago and the number one think everyone was talking about was how amazing she was and how it was the most beautiful ceremony they had ever witnessed. I have actually had quite a few of our guests reach out asking for her contact info because they want to recommend her to couples they know that are getting married. Sarah has love coming out of her pores, seriously. She is someone I would want to keep in my life as a friend for sure. Because this is a review I also want to mention she sends calendar reminders to keep you on track, colour coordinates herself to your weeding theme, is very flexible with timing, gives tons of tips and tricks for how to get the most out of your wedding photography and videography, great suggestions for the processional and is super flexible and available for calls and questions when you need her. So to summarize, she glows from the inside out and will help you to create the ceremony of your dreams. Book her!

Our Beautiful Officiant - Sarah

The second we hung up from our first meeting/call with Sarah, my then fiancé and I looked at each other and went “yup, that’s the one”. I can’t say enough great things about her. Sarah’s kind hearted, down to earth, thoughtful, considerate and detailed. All of our guests gave us many compliments with how fantastic she was. I’d recommend her in a heart beat. Mike and I thank you 100x 💕

Sarah is the BEST!

From our first meeting, to our rehearsal, then to the big day, Sarah was nothing short of incredible. She is hands down the best decision we made while planning our wedding. Sarah worked to ensure our ceremony was personal and tailored to our vision. We asked for a touch of comedy, sentimentality, and for our loved ones to be recognized - she delivered on all fronts. My grandmother had fallen ill and was unable to make it to our ceremony, so we opted to live stream it for her. Sarah made sure to not only cater to the last minute change, but got everyone to wave hello to her on camera at the beginning of the ceremony so that she felt included. We sadly lost her the following week, but we will forever have Sarah to thank for helping her be a part of our special day.

I couldn't recommend Sarah enough. She's professional, personable, detailed, and very clearly truly enjoys what she does for couples who are starting married life together. So many of our guests came to us with compliments for Sarah after the ceremony finished. She really does work to ensure that she is delivering the ceremony of your dreams.

We feel unbelievably lucky to have had Sarah play this important part of our big day and can't thank her enough!

Sarah is an incredible officiant!

SARAH! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It has been such a pleasure working with you and getting to know you leading up to our wedding.

From our first meeting I knew that Sarah would be the perfect choice. The ceremony script was beautiful, and we are so thankful she took the time to get to know us and write something so personalized & meaningful to us as a couple. The ceremony was the most important part to us & her words in the script were so special. It was a very nerve wracking moment filled with alot of emotions but she made us feel comfortable during the entire process.

We got so many compliments about Sarah and the ceremony - thank you so much for being a part of our special day!

Could not have had a better officiant

I was specifically looking for an officiant who had experience with Filipino ceremonies. I was originally looking at the marrying lady, as she was Filipina, herself but since she was booked already she gave me Sarah and another option, and I am so glad that she did.
For some reason at first, Sarah and I's schedules were not aligning for the first call. And I remember her sending a voice note basically saying that she didn't want me to force it if it didn't feel right, and that I should go with whatever officiant feels like the right fit-- and that was all I needed to know she was the one.
The entire process with her was wonderful, Sarah is definitely passionate about what she does. Every call with her was fun and informative. We really got to build a relationship over the few months we worked with her. She gave us many resources to help us with our vow writing, and really got us to look at our relationship and understand what the commitment we were making meant.
At my rehearsal dinner, I'll admit some of our family was intimidated by her and questioned how this tall white lady could possibly perform a ceremony honouring our culture and traditions. By the end of it everyone felt confident.
A lot of people think the ceremony is the boring part of the wedding-- even though it's the reason everyone is there-- but I cannot tell you how many people told me they loved how Sarah conducted our ceremony. She really made everyone in the room feel every bit of our story, from the humour to all the lovey dovey bits. She does her absolute best to make sure every detail is perfect, from the vows all the way down to coordinating her outfit to compliment our theme. If you want your ceremony to be an experience to remember, go with her.

The best person to marry you!!!!!

If you can't find an officiant then look no further.
Sarah is the absolute diamond in the rough, she is a wonderful human and an even better officiant!
When I first met with Sarah it was without my now husband, and the vibe she gave off was so warm and welcoming I knew this was the person that would marry us.
And boy was I right, all the meetings and homework we did were well worth it.
Sarah was helpful when we needed help with vows and a true source of calm when everything seemed crazy.
The amount of compliments we got after our ceremony about how beautiful it was, was jaw-dropping. Being the ones standing up there while the ceremony is going on you kind of zero in on yourself and your partner. Sarah made sure to constantly whisper to me to take breaths in between my vows and her calmness helped me make it through.
She is a beautiful person and I can't recommend her enough!!!

Simply the Best

From first meeting, to our wedding day, Sarah was amazing through it all! We did a creation call, where we told Sarah how we met, fell in love, and got engaged, and she was able to write her script! She is very good at checking in with us, and was super flexible when we needed to move dates for our meetings. She is the person you need to officiate your wedding!

An officiant to remember

Don't blink on booking Sarah for your special day. Words cannot describe how beautifully she captures your essence as a couple and brings it into your ceremony. Her energy is unmatched and truly encompasses the heart of your relationship in her words. This review sounds cheesy but from the bottom of our hearts we are so thankful we hired Sarah and had her bring us into our next chapter. Thank you!!!

She was great!

Leading up to the ceremony, Sarah was very helpful with the required documentation and logistical aspects of the event. She also spent time getting to know us and included some lovely personal aspects during the ceremony to help make for a very special day.

Thank you again Sarah for everything, and we could not have wished for a better experience.

Best Decision We Made

I don't know where to start because she was truly wonderful. From day 1 she went above and beyond. She had creative sessions with us where she was always on board with our wild ideas. She sent us calendar reminders so that we forgot nothing along the way, and everything was completed ahead of time. She remained open, honest, and receptive the entire time. She worked well with our venue coordinator and photographer. During the rehearsal session, she got everyone on board. She even taught me how to walk to best show off my gown. The day of, everything went smoothly and perfectly. Family and friends kept talking for weeks about what an incredible job Sarah did. My husband said that choosing her was the best wedding decision we made. Thank you so much Sarah for making our dream ceremony come true! I would 1000% recommend her to anyone who needs a wedding officiant.
