Weddings
Congratulations on your engagement & moving towards your special day!
It is a sincere pleasure to create for you and your beloved a spiritual, religious, civil, or non-denominational ceremony that incorporates the cultural, personal, poetic, & romantic aspects reflecting your unique relationship. For every couple & every ceremony I perform, it is about love, joy, and celebration (since those are the qualities that have brought you to this day)! Anything and everything you can think of is "on the table." It is all about saying "Yes" and making your day memorable.
What to Expect
When you contact me via phone, e-mail, or through my contact form (see below), I will respond to you within 24 – 48 hours. In order to get to know you as a couple and explore the best way I can meet your needs in crafting your special day, I suggest we set up a free, no obligation consultation. This can be in-person (if you are in the NY area), or via Skype or FaceTime (if you are an International couple, or if our schedules do not allow for an in-person meeting). This is a time to chat, get to know one another, learn some more details about what you would like to see in your wedding ceremony, and become comfortable with the relationship we are forming. After the consultation, I invite you to take some time to decide as a couple if I am the right officiant for you.
Once you decide to hire me, I will send you a contract, detailing what you can expect from my services, as well as a layout of all fees involved. Wedding fees vary for each couple and will depend on the length and breadth of the ceremony, the time and preparation involved its customization, travel expenses, as well as the date, time, and location of your ceremony. My fees range between $450 - $850 and are competitive with wedding officiants of similar experience.
Additionally, with your decision to hire me as your wedding officiant comes the full customization of your ceremony to reflect the unique couple you are. No two ceremonies I have performed have been the same – they are all tailored to the couple I am working with. Your ceremony should reflect your one-of-a-kind relationship and I will work with you to find readings, special ceremonies (i.e. sand ceremonies, rose exchanges, Fisherman's Knot, handfastings, Unity Candles, honoring of loved ones, etc.), as well as handcrafted personal touches. I will provide you with any resources you desire to make your day wonderful, including contact information for other wedding vendors I have had the honor and privilege of working with and endorsing. (See Resources for more information) For answers to your more specific questions, I invite you to visit my Frequently Asked Questions page or Contact Me.

"Rev Sarah is wonderful. She is thorough, caring and truly gets to know who you are and works with you to tell your story in ceremony. She is great with children and incorporating them in your special day." ~Denise & Michael (11.17.2013)

Whether your wedding is outdoors (backyard, winery, beach, park), indoors (private home, restaurant, chapel, church) or a destination wedding, your unique ceremony will reflect the one-of-a-kind love you share and bring to the world. Your "special day" will be reflected in your ceremony.
If you are members of the LGBTQ community, I am an ally and fully support Marriage Equality - your same-sex ceremony will be everything you ever dreamed of.
As your wedding officiant, I am here to hold your hand & walk with you throughout this process. Your journey as a couple will be guided and your ceremony will be one to remember.
Thank you for allowing me to travel with you and help you create a Lasting Footprint for the world to behold.
