Central Ceremonies

Reverend Sarah was absolutely fantastic. She took the time to get to know us and make the ceremony feel personal. She also helped us think through the importance of the ceremony and the vows that were making to each other to last a lifetime. She expertly guided us through the rehearsal and the ceremony. I am so thankful that we were able to work with her! I cannot recommender her more highly.

Sarah is the absolute reason our ceremony was as amazing and memorable as it was! Sarah wrote a beautiful ceremony after only meeting with us once - we made zero edits!! Our guests were asking us how long we had known Sarah after the ceremony due to the way she so eloquently spoke about us! Sarah's calming presence allowed us to let go of all the nerves and focus on only each other and the words she was speaking. Thank you so much, Sarah, for making our day so perfect and a memory we will never forget!

Sarah was very easy to work with and quickly drafted a ceremony for us based on our input. Sarah has mastered the craft of incorporating our notes while also putting her experienced touch on everything. At the rehearsal dinner Sarah was in command and everyone was confident they knew what to do on the big day. At the wedding itself Sarah delivered the ceremony masterfully and we had multiple comments on how wonderful the ceremony was. I highly recommend Central Ceremonies!

Central Ceremonies was by far the best option for our officiant. Sarah took the time to get to know us and our relationship then focused the ceremony around that. Multiple guests came up to us after the ceremony and asked if our officiant was a friend we knew before the wedding (she was not). It was such a beautiful, personal ceremony and something we will remember for the rest of our lives. The process leading up to it was so easy too. We had a conversation and sent some notes and ended up with the most personal and incredible ceremony.

Sarah was an AMAZING officiant. She was extremely flexible adapting to our 'style' as a couple & highlighted all of the important parts of our relationship so effortlessly. We would recommend her in a heartbeat!

Sarah was an exceptional wedding officiant who played a pivotal role in making our special day truly memorable. Her warm and comforting presence immediately put both me and my wife at ease, guiding us smoothly through the process. Her invaluable assistance in crafting my vows was deeply appreciated, ensuring that they were heartfelt and meaningful. Moreover, her ability to connect with our families, particularly my parents, was remarkable, making everyone feel included and cherished. Sarah's professionalism, combined with her genuine care and attention, made our wedding ceremony a beautiful and seamless experience. We are immensely grateful for her contribution to our unforgettable day.

Sarah helped us build our perfect ceremony and guided us every step of the way. From our first consultation, we could feel that Sarah had a knack for understanding the couples she works with and helping them navigate the waters of creating the perfect ceremony for them. She spoke with us deeply, doing everything she could to understand us far below the surface and put together a ceremony that felt right for who we are. Not only was the preparation an absolute joy, but she showed up on the day of the wedding ready to rock and roll. She delivered the ceremony with emotion and a cadence that was perfect for the atmosphere of the day. It could not have sounded any better and we have her to thank for this completely! We cannot thank Sarah enough for the time and effort she put in to create our ceremony and make it unforgettable! We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a custom ceremony that feels perfect and unique for them.

Central Ceremonies was an integral part of making our wedding feel "us". Sarah was a joy to work with, very helpful, and provided many recommendations and creative solutions for incorporating both our faiths (Judaism and Catholicism) into the ceremony. If you would like to honor tradition in a modern way, and create an experience which feels authentically you I highly recommend calling Sarah! We had many guests share with us that it was one of the most intimate and unique ceremonies they had attended. Thank you Sarah!

Sarah was the best officiant we could have asked for. She helped guide us through the planning of our ceremony with confident consultation. We are lucky that we got to work with Sarah because she helped ease our nerves provided a beautiful ceremony!

The most incredible experience working with Sarah. She made the process incredibly easy. Everyone continues to speak about Sarah and the ceremony to this day! We both agree the ceremony wouldn't have gone the way it had without Sarah's support, calmness, and articulation. She truly captured the most meaningful part of the rest of our lives!

My husband and I worked with Sarah on our ceremony at Central Presbyterian. Given that our families have mixed religious and cultural backgrounds, we were nervous about how to proceed with putting together a ceremony that felt authentic to us while respecting our different family members. Sarah was a blessing from day one; in our intro chat I could feel how much she pours her heart and soul into making meaningful moments and getting to know the couples she works with. I knew we were in capable hands. Sarah wrote a gorgeous ceremony for us. I loved the process, as we explored what marriage and religion means for us and it felt very custom and special. Several attendees commented on how this was one of the most beautiful and unique weddings they have seen. I would recommend Sarah to anyone looking to get married. Thank you so much Sarah!

Sarah was amazing. She communicated the entire way and helped us really outline beautiful and unique vows that were 100% tailored to my wife and I. Sarah is very adaptable to any situation as we had a few changes last minute with wedding party. She didn't use a microphone for our wedding given the small intimate size and even then she spoke clearly with an even tone that really brought everyone into the words she spoke. We absolutely loved her and the degree of professionalism was spot on. My wife and i highly recommend you book her to unite you and your loved one.

My wife and I were married on April 1st and it absolutely would not have been as memorable of a ceremony without Sarah! Her approach to personalizing the ceremony and vows worked flawlessly. Sarah herself was so personable, friendly and easy to work with. I think the best referral I can give is that my wife and I received many questions at the reception and over the following weeks about how we were able to write our own vows so well – but we didn’t! Sarah listened to how we spoke and laughed with each other, the answers we had to her questions both long and short, and understood the ideas and words we wanted to include even though we probably did a terrible job of explaining them in the first place. My wife and I are fortunate enough to have attended multiple weddings of friends and family, and this has truly helped us to appreciate how lucky we were to have Sarah as our officiant. I haven’t even gotten to touch on the rehearsal yet, and that went so smoothly. Even before the rehearsal itself, Sarah walked us through even the smallest details we hadn’t even thought about. All around, we can’t recommend Central Ceremonies and Sarah enough. Thank you Sarah!

Sarah Fuentes with Central Ceremonies was one of the best parts of our wedding. She ensured we had the ceremony words that expressed and honored our love. The starting, editing/input, and finalization process was great -- she took the time to get to know us both individually and as a couple. Furthermore, she took care of us in odd moments of need, like making sure one of us had a little table during the ceremony with a tall glass of iced water and a small fan on it because of a tendency to over-sweat! From little touches like that table to quick replies to emails to giving us the space to do our marriage "our way" -- Sarah was a compassionate officiant. Lastly, it meant a lot to us that our LGBTQIA+ ceremony was handled with such care.

We were so happy to have Cam officiate at our wedding! We had several meetings before the wedding to discuss what we would like to see in the ceremony and what direction we wanted to take for our wedding vows. He really took the time to listen to our stories, with how we got to where we were and what our backgrounds were, so that he could use elements from these stories to personalize our wedding ceremony. He also provided many samples of wedding exchanges to help us navigate through this writing process and gave great feedback on the ideas that we had. The wedding vows drafted were perfect and encapsulated everything that we wanted to share with our families on our wedding. He has a great sense of humor and his immense positive energy really helped us relax and focus on one another during a very emotional ceremony. He delivered a wonderful sermon and reading that deeply spoke to who we are and what we value, and we’re both so happy he helped to make our union a special occasion. If you ever need an officiant, Cam is truly the best person to have!

Cam was wonderful! He was punctual, pleasant, and professional. He also had a great sense of humor! We have received so many compliments from our wedding guests about our officiant Cam!

Words cannot describe just how amazing of an officiant Kelly was for our wedding!! Kelly captured us and our entire wedding with her words, and made our ceremony a show stopper. Meeting with Kelly, we could tell right away she was the right fit for us. My wife and I were able to discuss exactly what we wanted, and Kelly made us feel as though she could see and understand our vision perfectly. When it came to going over the flow of the ceremony, Kelly was able to offer her expertise, and guide us through that process. She provided us with her own words, and we were able to work together to make them not only apply to us, but together make a ceremony that was crafted just for us. That being said, what Kelly did the day of our wedding was truly incredible. I have been to many weddings, and I have heard many ceremonies. Never in my life have I experienced the ceremony that Kelly gave us. Every word, the diction, every delivery was intentional, and captivated everyone. Kelly was able to explain our love perfectly, and the ceremony was flawless. As we went around to our tables saying hi to our guest, we had person after person comment on our ceremony, saying how perfect and beautiful it was, and explaining it was the best ceremony they have ever heard!! One couple even said it inspired them to renew their vows! I would wholeheartedly recommend Kelly, because she made our wedding the best day of our lives, and I know I will remember her words for years to come. Thank you to Kelly, and I know she would do an amazing job on any event!

Cam, thank you so very much for helping us create such a EPIC WEDDING ceremony. We received many, many glowing compliments on how beautiful the ceremony was. We also received many compliments in regards to you. I truly appreciate you guiding us through our engagement/marriage journey!!! It was hands down the best day of our lives.

My wife and I worked with Central Ceremonies when planning our wedding. We met with Cam Burton and immediately clicked with him. Cam was wonderful. He took time to get to know us personally, understand what we wanted in our ceremony, and work with us to ensure our day was comfortable and fun. I could not recommend Central Ceremonies highly enough.

My husband Jordan and I could not have been happier with having Cam (Cameron Burton) as out officiant for our wedding. We were looking for someone who would really care about crafting a ceremony that represented who we are and what our love meant to us, and from the word go he was invested in us to do just that. He wrote a gorgeous ceremony for us, and also helped us to guide and refine our own vows that we wrote ourselves. No small task considering we had 10 years worth of love to cram in! I cannot recommend working with him enough; he is knowledgable, considerate, professional, and a genuinely wonderful person to be around. Thank you to Central Ceremonies and especially to Cam for helping us make a wedding ceremony that was truly ours and oh so wonderful <3

Cam from Central Ceremonies was truly the officiant of our dreams. We live in New York, so we Zoomed with Cam multiple times prior to the ceremony. He helped us take our very different ideas about a ceremony (one wanted it to be "funny," the other wanted it to be heartfelt and full of ritual) and combine them into the perfect ceremony for us. We also took advantage of Cam's premarital counseling services and we were so glad we did. He helped us talk through a variety of questions, prompts and topics and treated both of us with so much empathy, kindness and humor. He listened more than he spoke, and when he spoke it was clear that he was paying attention. He pulled out the deeper themes of what we were saying and asked guiding questions that helped us align about our goals, fears, anxieties and aspirations about our wedding and future together. Closer to the wedding, he crafted a script for our ceremony, responded quickly to our feedback, reviewed and supported us with our vows, and just generally made us feel that the ceremony was the one thing we didn't have to worry about at all! When the big day came, he was such a fun, calming, positive presence. He delivered the ceremony with the perfect mix of gravitas and personality- folks were raving about him afterwards. Thanks to our Zoom ceremony planning and counseling sessions, it felt like we had a friend marrying us, and we wished he could have stayed for the entirety of the party. Could not recommend him (and Central Ceremonies) more!

We heard of Central Cermonies through a friend that used their service. It was great to know they always have a back-up officiant just in case. Cam officiated our wedding, and he was great! We met several times in advance and were able to tweak the script to be meaningful and personal to us with no surprise content. Cam was on the same page after the first meeting, and offered great suggestions and examples. His calming presence and day of advice were also much appreciated!

Central Ceremonies (Sarah in particular) was the absolute perfect choice to be our officiant. Being new to the area, my husband and I had yet to find a church home with an officiant we felt could provide us with the quality premarital counseling and personalized wedding ceremony we were looking for. Sarah not only met those expectations, but far exceeded them. She took the time to know us, counsel us, and provide us with so many tools to utilize throughout our marriage. She was inspiring, collaborative, accommodating, and empathetic at every turn. To find someone that was such a perfect match to officiate our ceremony was a true blessing for us. I would (and do!) recommend Sarah and the Central Ceremonies team to any friend looking for experts in navigating the premarital process and creating a meaningful relationship with their officiant.

We had Liz as our officiant and she was great! We went back and forth between having a friend do the ceremony or hiring someone. We came across central ceremonies and met Liz and knew we made the right decision. Liz made the process so easy and we had so many compliments on the ceremony. We felt like she really knew who we were and was able to share that with our guests during the ceremony. We highly recommend her! 10 out of 10!

Sarah was absolutely perfect to work with! She helped make our wedding day even more special. After an initial skype call and just a couple of emails to get to know each other, she was able to craft a romantic, poetic, ceremony that was so true to my wife and me. Could not recommend her highly enough!

Liz was fantastic to work with and very accommodating of how we wanted our ceremony to go. Highly recommended

Liz did such a great job on the ceremony. We really enjoyed working with her throughout the entire process. She made it easy and was very responsive to our questions and requests. On the day-of she was very personable, which makes a big difference when everyone is under pressure. Fun but professional and best of all a beautifully performed ceremony!

Liz was absolutely incredible. She really captured the essence of our relationship in the ceremony and kept things lighthearted. She really listened to what we wanted and drafted the ceremony to really reflect our vision and put our love front and center. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better officiant and a better ceremony with Liz.

Sarah was AMAZING from start to finish. She walked us through the entire process with such class and professionalism and the ceremony itself was performed without a hitch. We received so many compliments and couldn't be happy with our choice. Sarah is the best!

What a heartfelt ceremony service experience my new groom and I had with Sarah de la Fuente! She truly made us feel at ease and in tune with each other. She gave us permission to relax and to realize what the very most important things are. Her presence played a huge part of the best moments in our wedding. Highly, highly recommend her.

We worked with Rev Sarah and she was simply amazing. She immediately made us feel comfortable while remaining professional. There was no judgment as we discussed religious vs spiritual options, and she helped us find the right balance of traditional for our parents and modern for us while still staying true to the vows that best represented our union. On top of that, we were married outdoors on a 100 degree day but Rev Sarah wasn't fazed; multiple guests mentioned how much they liked our officiant. 100% recommend!

My wife and I recently had our wedding officiated by Sarah, who did a truly wonderful job! She crafted a beautiful ceremony and really “connected” with us throughout the planning process. She also helped us feel extremely comfortable and relaxed on our wedding day with her matchless humor and enthusiasm. She is energetic, personable, and sincere. Having her as our officiant felt like being married by a trusted friend. We could not be happier with her work, and would recommend her (and her team) without hesitation or qualification!

My wife and I had our wedding ceremony officiated by Cam and he was an absolute pleasure to work with! From our first "get to know you" call all the way to check-ins afterwards, we were impressed by his support and guidance. The idea of putting together a ceremony seemed daunting at first, but Cam led us through the process, offered a wide variety of samples and suggestions, which ultimately made things pretty painless. On the day of the wedding he was a calming presence and exuded positivity and professionalism. We're so glad he was a part of our wedding day and would happily recommend him to anyone in need of an officiant!

We loved working with Central Ceremonies. We wanted a custom ceremony script and Rev. Sarah went above and beyond to truly make the ceremony more beautiful and memorable. It was our favorite part of the day, and months later I still think about what she said. We also procrastinated until the last minute to work with her to draft the script, but Sarah made us feel comfortable, made the writing process really easy, and always responded incredibly fast! She also seamlessly guided the rehearsal, and checked in with us to make us feel at ease on the big day. Sarah is such a sweet and caring person, who truly loves love. She writes beautifully and is an expert! We can not recommend her enough.

Sarah was the perfect officiant for our wedding. She tailored our ceremony to fit us and was very communicative and efficient during the planning process.

My husband and I recently had our wedding ceremony officiated by Sarah, and we could not recommend her enough! From our very first meeting Sarah was kind, thoughtful and intuitive to our relationship. After a few “getting to know you” conversations Sarah was able to craft a beautiful, personalized ceremony that just felt like “us”. She is one of those people that as soon as you meet her you feel like you’ve known her forever, and that truly came through in our ceremony. We had so many guests say that it was their favorite part of the day, and she is a large part of why! Absolutely hire Sarah for a beautifully crafted and elegant, light, meaningful ceremony that is specific to your love story - you won’t be disappointed!

Sarah was amazing! We had the most beautiful ceremony. Our vows were absolutely perfect for us and everything feel very special.

Do not look any further for an officiant! Sarah with Central Ceremonies was so great to work with and we got so many compliments on our ceremony. She was very attentive to all of our requests when preparing the ceremony script and we were so happy with our ceremony because of her! Highly, highly recommend!!

Central Ceremonies was referred by our wedding planner and we were so happy with their services. From our first meeting with Sam, we knew he was the right person for our vow renewal. He got to know us, listened to what we wanted and created a beautiful vow renewal ceremony. He made it personal and our family and friends felt it. We received so many compliments about Sam from our guests. Highly recommend Central Ceremonies!

Cam at central ceremonies killed it!! I mean the morning of our wedding I sent him a quick email in fast facts on my fiancé and I about things he could include and he did it with such finesse! We had a million compliments on how great the ceremony was! Thank you so much for making our day special Cam!!

Sarah was incredible to work with. She helped us write both the minimony for during COVID and then the ceremony for our rescheduled wedding. She helped us articulate what we wanted to communicate during our ceremony and gave lots of advice and feedback during the process.

Sarah was amazing! We knew we wanted a religious ceremony for our elopement and something that reflected us. She met with us over zoom and we instantly felt at ease with her. Through her process, she had us write a few answers to questions about us and our relationship. That was a wonderful experience. It helped her to understand us a little better, but also was a fantastic process for each of us to experience before walking down the isle. She was in constant contact with us throughout the process. She was exactly what we were looking for! The ceremony was perfect (just like she had emailed us in advance) and delivered flawlessly. Sarah is kind, loving and supportive. I can't recommend her enough!

We used Sarah de la Fuente and she was the BEST! So nice and easy to talk to. Really felt like she cared to get to know us and to know our love story, which was important to us. She made our day so special, and we couldn't imagine it without her!! :)

We worked with Sam for our wedding and had an amazing experience. He is so genuine, kind, and communicative. We enjoyed speaking with him, getting to know him, and planning our ceremony with him. He commanded the audience during the ceremony and gave it the perfect amount of seriousness and lightness. We couldn't recommend him more!

Liz was great to work with! We took a while to answer the questions she sent, but once we did she promptly crafted a first draft of our ceremony. She was open to any adjustments but with only a few minor tweaks it was exactly what we wanted - a personalized ceremony that captured our vibe and represented us as a couple. Liz’s presence, demeanor, and reading of the ceremony was also fantastic. She made it feel intimate for the two of us standing up there but our guests also felt included and had no trouble hearing her. Thank you, Liz!

We LOVED working with Sam from Central Ceremonies! (and emailing back and forth with Sarah on a few things throughout the process too!) We had an awesome experience with this company and truly enjoyed the people who work here. They had fantastic customer service throughout the process, and we can't even begin to describe how wonderful we think they are. Sam helped us craft a beautiful and personalized ceremony and his passion for his work is so evident. He truly cares about his couples and went out of his way to help us explore a zoom wedding option when covid first hit and to also adjust our original wedding ceremony into a vow renewal ceremony for this past December. He is the epitome of a professional, and such a kind soul, and we would happily sing his praises from the mountaintops if he asked us to! Can't recommend this company, and Sam and Sarah in particular for their amazing attitude and flexibility during such a difficult time for the entire wedding industry!

Sarah is hands down the best!! She officiated our wedding and made the whole ceremony delightful. Her outgoing personality and kindness paired with such a wonderful speech just made her a dream to work with!

Sarah de la Fuente’s warmth, kindness and experience shine through. From her initial advice about how to book a marriage license appointment during a pandemic, to the discrete way she slipped the bride a tissue as she teared up during the ceremony, Sarah is a consummate professional. She spent time getting to know the bride and groom in advance so that she could create a ceremony that reflected their personalities and relationship. She’s been officiating at weddings for many, many years, yet it’s obvious that she approaches each wedding as the special, unique event it is.

We utilized Sarah de la Fuente at Central Ceremonies to officiate our religious wedding ceremony in June of 2020 in Austin. Our church, Central Christian, had recommended her and CC to us. We are based in NYC, so we had an introductory call over Skype and immediately felt a connection. Sarah was so personal, warm, and really took the time to get to know us as a couple before our big day. She even came to our church walk through so she could meet us in person and get to know our families as well. When we had to pivot our wedding from a church in April to a rooftop in June due to Covid, she stuck by us all the way and was so supportive. Many of our guests raved about Sarah after the wedding and how personal and great she was - which was exactly what we wanted and were worried about when using a minister that we didn't have a relationship with previously. Can't recommend Sarah and Central Ceremonies enough for your big day!

I have been a wedding planner in Austin for almost 15 years. I have worked with Central Ceremonies since I started in this business and they have always been amazing to work with, so when I personally got engaged at the end of last year, it was an easy choice choosing them to handle my own ceremony. Sarah helped us surprise everyone at our engagement party with an impromptu ceremony and married us right on the spot. It was absolutely perfect!! And she will be right there with us for our big ceremony and reception next month. We were so blessed to have had her with us the first time and are so excited to have her lead us through it again. She took all of our questions and requests and turned them into the perfect ceremony that was uniquely us!! From a professional stand point I don’t hesitate to recommend all of my client to them because I know they will receive the same level of care that I did personally. All of the officiants are professional, knowledgeable and have such an amazing desire to really make each and every couples wedding ceremony personal and perfect. You will not regret choosing Central Ceremonies to preside over your ceremony on your big day!!

Cam was so great throughout our time working with him. I don't know that many people could write a ceremony more transparent and personally than he did. He really took the time to get to know me and my wife in the short term we worked with him. He was easy to contact, patient with us and our questions, and was a genuinely sweet and thoughtful person. He also sort of kept us on a helpful time table, which helped us write more meaningful vows, and helped make us feel comfortable about how everything would look. He had several templates we could reference, and encouraged us to find great readings he flawlessly incorporated into the ceremony, making it a perfect balance of traditional, spiritual, romantic, and more than anything personal. All of our guests mentioned how tasteful it all was. We had so many people crying during our ceremony, possibly sick and twisted, I must admit, but I took a great pleasure in how many people mentioned they were near sobbing! Haha. I love Cam. I loved our ceremony. Thank you so much. Book him if you're smart! You can't go wrong!

Sarah from Austin Weddings Unlimited could not have been a more perfect officiant! Every single guest we talked to after the ceremony remarked about her warm manner, sincerity and overall execution of the ceremony. Because we were planning from out of town, we crafted the ceremony script with Sarah over email with a few phone calls. Sarah provided us with a few previous ceremony scripts, which was really helpful as a starting place. Even though we hadn't met in person before the rehearsal, the connection was still there and apparent in our ceremony. Regardless of what sort of ceremony you are planning, I seriously cannot recommend Sarah enough.

We could not have been thrilled enough with how wonderful our ceremony was! Sarah has such a warm and loving personality and we were made to feel at ease from the outset of the day.

Sarah is amazing! If you want a personal ceremony that fits you, your fiancé, your family and everything you hoped your wedding would be, Austin Weddings Unlimited is the only one to choose. They have personalized this for us & our children and provided the perfect blend of faith and tradition with our modern life & relationship. Sarah provides different options and ideas then wove it into a beautiful service with very personal and intimate touches that I have only seen in weddings she officiated. The ceremony is the true bonding part & Sarah made it even better than we had imagined. After her ceremony for friends, we knew she was who we wanted. The best decision we made, outside of picking each other.
