Central Ceremonies

of wisdom, grace, humor, and confidence in to our ceremony that only a gifted and seasoned professional can do. And I would know, because I am one (I'm one of AWU's team members)! There is nobody else I would have trusted more with such an important day.

Sam and instantly connected. He was very kind and knew exactly how the ceremony would be laid out. When planning the ceremony, Sam provided a listing of passages, readings, other ceremonies and we were able to go through and pick all our favorite items. He was also very open to anything that we wanted to include. He customized a ceremony just for us based on all the readings/passages/writings that we loved. He was very open to any edits we wanted to make, and he had the ceremony completely done a month before the wedding (which was a huge stress relief). He also made the trip from Austin to Fair Oaks on Friday just for our rehearsal and then drove back to Spring Branch on Saturday for wedding, with no complaints. My husband and I also took advantage of the 3 marriage counseling sessions that Sam offered. They were three, one-hour sessions in person with Sam where he was able to get to know us more and to provide insight into things we didn’t think about before. This was one of the best things that we did before the wedding! Sam always seemed genuinely interested in what we had to say and never, ever judged us for anything. I would absolutely recommend these sessions to anyone getting married. My husband and I were together for 5 years before we got married and there were things that I was still able to learn about him in our sessions. There are not enough good things that I could say about Sam!! He made sure our ceremony was so special and it meant everything to us!

mony and made appropriate recommendations when we weren't sure. We had several family members and friends mention what a wonderful job she did. She was honestly the sweetest and we are so thankful we had her with us on our special day. I know, personally, I felt calmer knowing she was there and handling everything so I didn't have to. Thank you so much for everything Sarah!

nd wanted it to be completely secular) and respected our decisions. He provided very helpful scripts of previous wedding ceremonies for us to see, and we were able to use that to help write our vows and make our ceremony more personalized and special. On the day of the wedding, everything went very smoothly and as planned - we wouldn't have wanted it any other way! The only thing is that I wished it was a little more affordable.

als, and when we decided to write our own ceremony, he provided great feedback and expertly offered the perfect reading to fill things out. On the day of, Cam was calm and confident, which was exactly what we about-to-be-newly-weds needed him to be. He delivered our ceremony with wonderful inflection and pacing. If I were to get married again, I wouldn't hesitate to call Cam up to be our officiant a second time. Thanks, Cam!

ghly recommend the pre-marital sessions. Sam really helped guide us through the harder topics that need to be talked about before you get married. He was very patient, funny, and insightful in these sessions. I believe it also helped him to really get to know us which helped to make his ceremony that much more personal.

r personality as a couple. We received so many compliments on our ceremony and a large part of that is because of Sarah. She took the time to not only get to know us and our feelings for each other, but also seamlessly weave it all into a personalized ceremony just for us. We realized after the fact that we had not officially met Sarah until the day of the rehearsal. The entire weekend it really felt like Sarah was speaking to us and our friends and family as a friend. I would highly recommend Austin Weddings Unlimited and you have hit the jackpot if you get to have Sarah officiate your wedding!

en years ago, and she was able to anticipate our needs, provide us with various templates, before providing a totally unique to us ceremony that people *still* talk about. My maid of honor was so impressed with Sarah that she used her for her wedding five years later. These guys are all warm, professional, caring, and gifted at both giving you the ceremony that you need, and presiding over the most beautiful day of your life. Highly recommend.

d my nephew's wedding. She will ALWAYS be a part of our family!

orth it! He was open-minded, honest, understanding, and patient. Sam was also very flexible with scheduling as we were back and forth between Austin and Dallas. I would highly recommend Sam, you will not be disappointed!

the absolute sweetest, kindest person I have ever met. He truly cares about getting to know each couple and each individual person. He wanted to know what we loved about each other and why we wanted to get married. Through that, he wrote one of the most beautiful ceremony readings I have ever heard. We had so many kind compliments from everyone, especially for our vows. Sam wrote part of them and it meshed so well. I cannot recommend Sam enough.

ughout the planning process. On our wedding day, she made us laugh and made us feel really confident and excited to stand in front of our friends and families and make our promises to each other. It would not have been the perfect day without her! Thank you for everything! - Nicole and Justin Potter

ul she was. They thought we had known her for years. If you are looking for an officiant I can't recommend Carolina enough.

r talking with her via emails, having to cancel a few appointments and then finally connecting via Skype, we knew she was the one. She was so understanding of every situation, and was so helpful in guiding us through the process. She wrote our ceremony completely based on us and the things we discussed, and met our every need of a non-traditional, non-religious ceremony while still catering to our religious family members. The ceremony was PERFECT. We went through several drafts and she catered to our every need and whim, and was so pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend Carolina to anyone who asked!!

view was just 'ok' I was a bit disheartened. Then I came across Austin Weddings Unlimited in an online search. I contacted them and set up an appointment with Sarah de la Fuente. Immediately upon meeting her I felt totally at ease. She was super easy to talk to and seemed to understand exactly what we wanted. She assured us we would be the only wedding she would be at on our wedding day (some do 2 or 3!) and that she was willing to meet with us as many times as it took. She sent us all kinds of templates so we could get an idea of what we wanted. She guided us without telling us what to do. In the end, she put together the perfect ceremony that was just the right length and a perfect mix of both my husband and I. During the ceremony, my husband got a little emotional and Sarah talked him through it, keeping things pulled together. Overall, I am thrilled with our decision to go with Sarah and highly recommend her!

aptured from that meeting was so representative of who we are and what was important to us. I was touched by her commitment to perfection in our ceremony and only had to make one small edit to the original draft she presented to us. She was awesome. She made us feel comfortable, understood and presented our commitment to each other in a way that we could have never put into words. We are so thankful such a generous and kind person stood up for us and guided us into our commitment. She is spiritual and creative in a balanced way that accommodated our faith and personal expression.

t also just a genuinely good person. I feel blessed he was there to marry us.

ed to using Austin Weddings Unlimited, Carolina spent about 30 minutes on the phone with us to talk about what we wanted and to make sure she could provide that. She encouraged us to think about the decision and to make sure we felt she was a good fit. After having some communication problems with other potential officiants, Carolina was a breath of fresh air. My husband and I come from different religious backgrounds, so we wanted to be respectful to both of our families at the wedding. Carolina crafted a beautiful ceremony that was spiritual and made everyone feel welcome, and she even incorporated personal information about us into it. We went back and forth a lot, perfecting everything, and she was always helpful and responsive to our emails. We were a little uneasy about having someone we had never met perform our ceremony, but we had no choice given our long distance situation. However, after meeting Carolina at the rehearsal, any worries we had went out the window. She put us at ease, as if we had known her for years. Our wedding had such personality and felt very relaxed, which is exactly what we wanted. It was absolutely perfect. She even left us a nice little surprise to open after the wedding, which was really sweet. Highly recommended! Thanks, Carolina!

More importantly she gave us good guidance on our *marriage* and what it all means. We will never forget her words and her advice.
