Agnostic Weddings

ee by the look in their eyes that everything said was perfect and just what they wanted for such a special occassion. Sasha did a wonderful job and I would recommend her to anyone reading this review.

They are, after all, the ring master at the center of the three-ring circus. The bride and groom have spent months, sometimes years preparing for this brief moment together. To them, this is everything. And watching Sasha Rusk perform her ceremony I can see that she understands that. She is comfortable, personable, empathetic, sincere, and as perfect as you could hope for.

after meeting with sasha decided to go with her instead (also sasha can do the ceremony text for you and you can have someone else read it). and im so glad we did as it took all the stress away from planning that part of the wedding, and it was very calming to see her smiling at us when we came down the aisle on the day. so - the ceremony text. sasha has this amazing selection of beautifully crafted passages that you can put together to form the perfect ceremony. so many of our guests commented on how meaningful the text of our ceremony was, and also how contemporary and fresh. we chose to go with a theme of how marriage is an artistic enterprise, crafted by both of the members of the couple together. there were light-hearted sections, and also very deeply poignant sections. it perfectly captured the way we feel about our relationship (two individuals maintaining our independence but also supporting each other) and about marriage in general. it was really such a beautiful text! and, sasha has a great friendly and relaxing presence on the day. she really puts you at ease, and makes sure you know when to say your lines! i couldnt have been happier with the ceremony text and the way it was carried out on the day. and i have a lovely keepsake of the words to look over. my husband adds - picking the passages to make up the ceremony text together was fun and really made us think about what we wanted to say, but with beautifully written choices already prepared for us!

als and peppered with a wry sense of humor, compassion and a profound understanding why people feel the need to declare their love and devotion to one another in the presence of loved ones. Sasha is a true wonder and the fact that she happens to be my daughter is just icing on the cake.

impersonal. As nonbelievers, we also knew we didn't want religion to play any part in our ceremony. I am SO thankful we found Sasha and Agnostic Weddings. When we met with her for the first time, I knew instantly that I wanted her to be our officiant. She was so warm and friendly, and seemed to feel as strongly as we did about helping us create a very personal ceremony. I know many friends who got married around the same time as us who were married by religious officiants, and they were dismayed that they had almost no say in the content of their ceremony. But Sasha sat with us as we literally handpicked every part of our ceremony from her vast notebook of readings, rituals, etc. She offered suggestions without imposing her opinion, and then took all our input and turned it into the most beautiful, meaningful ceremony I could have ever imagined. I honestly could not have asked for a more perfect ceremony. We got so many compliments from people at the wedding (and even now, more than a year later) about how beautiful the ceremony was. It was amazing the response it got - I guess there are even more people who are tired of the same old religious fill-in-the-blank ceremonies than I realized! Two of my out-of-town friends even asked if they could use some of the readings and language into their own weddings - which I think is the highest compliment you could ask for! If you want a deeply meaningful ceremony that celebrates who you are as a couple and that people will talk about for years to come, I highly recommend Agnostic Weddings!

r the wonderful vows. I am thinking of renewing my vows and of course Sasha will be my first choice for that. I recommend her to any couple that I know that is planning a wedding or committment ceremony.

want a wedding ceremony that is unique to your preferences, Sasha is the one for you! You choose the features that you want to include in your wedding, and Sasha skillfully weaves them into an inspiring, captivating ceremony. Guests came up to us at the reception and commented that our wedding was one of the best ceremonies they'd ever seen. I would recommend Sasha to anyone!

nd friendly she seemed. When she started to speak I began to cry. She was warm, personable, and fun. She seemed as if she had always known my daughter and son in law. She made me laugh and cry. She was articulate, sincere and engaging. The ceremony was truly reflective of my daughter and son in law. It was so beautiful and fun. After the ceremony many of our friends and family commented on how fabulous she was. Sasha made a day in my life that was already very special even more so. She is very much a part of my beautiful memories of that very special day.

c county courthouse. And what happy couple wants to get married there? Agnostic Weddings is the greatest thing to happen to Atheist weddings possibly ever. Thanks to Sasha Rusk, we now can have a beautiful (but not sappy) wedding ceremony surrounded by our friends and family...and, we can even have it anywhere we want...not some stuffy building surrounded by disgruntled state workers! Sasha is amazing...funny, warm, sensitive and extremely attentive to your needs. And, she's amazingly easy to work with...which is great, considering even the most casual wedding planning can be stressful. If you live in SoCal and are a proud Atheist/Agnostic/Freethinker/Secular Humanist, you can have the ceremony you deserve...thanks to Agnostic Weddings. It's one less thing to stress over...if only dress shopping was easier!

and I would consider ourselves agnostic, we had absolutely no desire to rub that in anyone's face at our wedding. We just wanted our ceremony to reflect us, and our love, and we wanted it to be genuine. And fun. And tasteful. And anything else we dreamed up along the way. =) We literally stumbled upon Sasha's site, after several disappointing endeavors to find an officiant. All the other non-traditional, secular officiants we found were a little ...odd... but we had a good feeling about Sasha. That good feeling turned into an OUTSTANDING feeling when we met Sasha face-to-face. We were instantly excited, and we knew we were going to be able to design the perfect ceremony with Sasha's help. The true test, I thought, was the day of the wedding. The words we'd put together sounded EVEN BETTER when Sasha spoke them to all of our friends and family members. We laughed, we cried, but most of all, we smiled so much that our cheeks ached when the ceremony was over. As it turns out, the real joy of our ceremony is that we have the beautiful memories, and that our family and friends still. to. this. day. (almost 4 years later) tell us how much they loved our ceremony. No one has forgotten it. We will never forget it. And for as much as we focused on getting the right dresses and tuxedos, and the right food and music, the venue, the invitations, etc... the ceremony is why we were all there that day. Choosing Sasha as our wedding officiant was absolutely the best decision that we made. (By the way - Sasha's website said that she roasted someone right after the vows of a ceremony once. That was us, and our poor friend, Jim. Just so you know, Jim deserved it, and he probably speaks more highly of the ceremony than anyone else! Even the elderly in attendance at our wedding LOVED that. You just need to go with your gut and do what's right for you when planning your wedding. Sasha delivered our vision flawlessly. Good luck!)

l day. Sasha Rusk was literally beaming with joy at the couple's happiness, and her words were so thoughtful, so well spoken and heartfelt that all of us--the bride and groom, the wedding party, the guests--felt that we were truly participating in something special and life-changing. If I weren't already married, I know who I'd choose to officiate my wedding for me!

arrange a meeting to plan the ceremony. We connected with Sasha immediately, and had a blast assembling a very unique and personalized ceremony from the vast array of resources that she provided. Throughout the planning process, i knew that Sasha was completely invested in the success of our wedding. It still astounds and amazes me that we found Sasha. I could not have imagined a more creative, perceptive officiate with a true passion for her profession! We love you, Sasha!

oing to be a part of our very most special day.

was unique, as we are. It was touching, even for those who'd been to so many weddings. It was perfectly timed--not too long, not too short. There was laughter, and gentle guidance from our officiant. Really... If you want an exceptional ceremony, at an exceptionally affordable rate, conducted by an exceptionally talented, thoughtful, and creative soul... You'll seek Sasha's services and at Agnostic Weddings.

s a rough draft which we were able to edit as many times as we wanted (and we did- right up until the day before the ceremony!). We are not religious but believe in marriage and family and wanted a special ceremony to celebrate our love and that's what we got! We received so many compliments from our wedding guests about how personal and meaningful the ceremony was. We threw a great party and still, most of the feedback from the day was how beautiful the ceremony was. There was no mention of god nor blessings (per our request), and yet even the most religious people in attendance had nothing but wonderful things to say about Sasha and the ceremony. Her prices are comparable to all of the other officiants I saw, but I can't imagine a more personal touch than what Sasha offered. Thank you, Sasha for helping make our day so special.

h. She was very easy to work with and made sure the day was about us. We picked out the ceremony piece by piece. People are still talking about how well written the ceremony was and what a beautiful ceremony it was. My grandmother loved it (and she is very religious)...as did all the kids at the ceremony (because it was short and sweet :). If I were to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks Sasha for making our ceremony unforgettable.

ts commented on what a fantastic job she did. Thank you, Sasha!
