About this vendor
Hi, I’m Sabra, the heart and soul behind Ceremonies by Sabra. As a wedding officiant based in Michigan—and always passport-ready to travel—I specialize in creating inclusive, secular ceremonies that truly celebrate each couple’s unique love story. With over 630 weddings under my belt, I’ve honed the art of crafting ceremonies that are as heartfelt and meaningful as they are relaxed and fun.
So, why choose me as your officiant? Because I go beyond just showing up on your wedding day—I’m here to make the entire process easy, enjoyable, and personal. I take the time to get to know you, to understand what makes your relationship special, and to weave those moments into a ceremony that feels like it was written just for you.
What sets me apart? It’s the combination of my experience, training, and personality. I’ve studied love story crafting with Mark Allan Groleau of UnBoring Pro and earned my Master Celebrant Certification through the Celebrant Academy, where I focused on storytelling, rituals, and the elements of a truly unforgettable ceremony. Whether you’re planning a big dream wedding, an intimate elopement, or even a simple sign-and-go, I approach every ceremony with the same level of care and attention to detail.
I’m also an equality enthusiast, proudly serving all couples, including LGBTQ+ couples and those from mixed-faith or non-religious backgrounds. My ceremonies are built on inclusivity and respect, ensuring that everyone feels seen, valued, and celebrated.
Most importantly, I bring humor, heart, and authenticity to every ceremony. I love working with couples who are non-traditional, a little adventurous, and excited to make their ceremony a true reflection of who they are. If that sounds like you, let’s chat! Your wedding day should be filled with joy, laughter, and love—and I’d be honored to be part of it.

Sabra was amazing to work with! She took into account everything we were hoping for and created a ceremony that was personal and detailed. We received so many compliments on how wonderful our ceremony was.
I'm not even sure where to begin with Sabra. SHE IS A DREAM TO WORK WITH!! Absolutely amazing officiant and truly made our ceremony about us as a couple and made it so personalized. Sabra was so amazing to work with from start to finnish. I've gotten so many compliments on her and people thought she was a personal friend by how our ceremony was. Wish we could married again just to have her!
IF YOU'RE READING THIS THEN BOOK SABRA. DO NOT SECOND GUESS IT. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. SHE IS PERFECT. Seriously, we absolutely loved working with Sabra and highly recommend her. She was super flexible in helping us design our ceremony the way that we wanted it, and she was also able to help us navigate difficult aspects of the ceremony like dealing with family and also coming up with our own vows. Throughout the whole process she was super friendly and helpful. The first time we met with her to go over some details it was very sweet that at the end of the call she told us to take time to decide if we wanted to go with her but we already knew we wanted to work with her. Everything she had talked about in that first meeting let us know that she was ready to help craft the perfect ceremony. And spoiler alert--- she absolutely delivered! The rest of our vendors also appreciated having an actual professional officiant --- it makes a difference! She was able to coordinate with the other vendors much better than any relative licensed under the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster could have done. Overall Sabra was just a joy to work with and we appreciated her expertise as we worked through all the elements of our ceremony. It turned out to be perfect and we greatly appreciate her crucial role in that. Thanks Sabra!!
Immensely kind and thoughtful, with a professionalism unmatched. Sabra got to know us, and we got to know her before the big day. Leaving everyone in awe with a truly elegant job officiating A true professional and beautiful person. You won’t ever doubt choosing her, a legendary officiant.
Sabra married us on June 09, 2023. I can not express properly just how amazing she is. We started off with a phone conversation to make sure we all vibed. From the beginning she was awesome. She listened to our wants and helped stay on schedule at rehearsal and kept things together at the wedding. The words she spoke and the story she told…. Not a dry eye at our ceremony. I had so many people compliment on how good she was and how they would love to use her if the occasion ever arises. I am so grateful for her experience and professionalism. Thank you Sabra for making our fairytale come true.
While this review is certainly long overdue, our thoughts and absolute satisfaction regarding our ceremony still holds true to this day. After postponing our wedding during the pandemic, we finally picked a date to make sure that both of our fathers (who were terminally ill at the time) could be present for our special day. As we were a little tight for time, we found Sabra on a whim while perusing the internet for an officiant. After watching a clip of a ceremony that Sabra officiated, we opted to take a chance, and hope for the best. I truly believe in purposeful placement, and I know she walked into our lives at the right time and for the right reason. Sabra helped put together one of the most unique and beautiful ceremonies that we could have asked for. Our wedding was in 2021 and to this very day, most of our guests are still talking about the touching aspects of our ceremony that were coordinated by her. With the utmost professionalism, Sabra will handle your love story with tenderness, thoughtfulness, and care. We promise that you will not be disappointed and we would definitely recommend her over and over again. We are practically trying to come up with another event for her to officiate because she is truly incredible. Thank you for bringing our love story to life!

Sabra officiated our wedding twice, we liked her so much! We were planning our wedding in March 2020, right when the pandemic hit. We rescheduled our celebration, and she helped us through 3 separate plans to do a small ceremony and get legally married before the state shut down, finally settling on a tiny elopement-style ceremony, planned the night before the ceremony, and performed the day before the state shut down. She had gotten to know us well enough through the planning process that when she asked us if she could just “have fun” with the ceremony, we said yes, and it was great- she threw in some fun and geeky references, one of which had us both laughing out loud. When it came time to do the ceremony with friends and family, she rewrote it with us. It was an amazing ceremony that truly reflected who we are as a couple, and we had people coming up to us throughout the night saying it was the best ceremony they had ever seen! She also had a great idea for seating families that another guest, who also officiates weddings, said she’d have to start implementing, too! We weren’t able to have a full rehearsal, so Sabra sent us a write up to send our party that kept things moving smoothly for the wedding. We highly recommend Sabra! She’s wonderful!!
We were so lucky to have found Sabra on the knot website. After meeting her in person for breakfast and discussing our wedding vision, we knew she was the one to officiate our wedding. Our big day was 12.11.21 and Sabra exceeded our expectations. She is great at taking bits and pieces of information and constructing a beautiful love story to tell your family and closest friends. I've had multiple wedding guests comment on her style and say that was the best ceremony they've ever attended. I would highly recommend Sabra to anyone looking for a warm, caring, compassionate and understanding wedding officiant.
Sabra conducted the wedding ceremony for my son and new daughter-in-law several weeks ago. Sabra curated a personal, heartfelt and sweet portrait of their love for one another. If you are seeking a unique and personalized ceremony, I have no doubt that Sabra will exceed your expectations!
Sabra was amazing! She made sure our ceremony was tailored to us from being to end. She does such a great job at this that people thought she must be someone we've known all our lives.
We were so happy with the ceremony that Sabra wrote and officiated for our 05/01/2021 wedding. She actually spent time getting to know us and our story, and even reached out to a few of friends and family members to include their thoughts in the ceremony. I had multiple people tell me that ours was the best ceremony they had ever attended because of the thoughtfulness and storytelling aspect. If you're looking for a a really special, personalized ceremony, then I absolutely recommend Sabra.
We really loved Sabra. She had really gotten to know us over the phone and was able to customize the ceremony to our relationship. She was also super helpful in knowing how wedding ceremonies run and also what we needed to do to prepare for the ceremony and for after with the marriage licenses. She was upfront with us and asked us questions on what we liked/wanted during the ceremony and what we didn’t prefer. Overall very sweet and personable!
