I unexpectedly became an officiant to help a friend with her business. And I fell in love...with brides and grooms.
Although I have worked with brides and grooms for many years as an event planner, I did not know that down the road I would actually be playing such an important and personal role on the day of their marriage.
I love the first time I meet a couple. You are excited, sometimes nervous and maybe you don't know what to ask or expect. No need to worry, I am here for you! I will answer questions you didn't know you had.
I will help guide you and create your dream ceremony!

We had the absolute joy of having Sandra Kraus as our wedding officiant for our sunrise ceremony at Evergreen Lake in the Colorado mountains—and she was everything we could have ho...
ped for and more.
From the very beginning, Sandra kept in close communication and made the planning process seamless. She proposed beautiful scripture options, thoughtfully tailored the ceremony script to reflect us as a couple, and added meaningful personal touches that made the ceremony truly ours. One detail we especially appreciated: Sandra took the time to learn the pronunciation of our grandparents’ and family members’ names so she could say them correctly and respectfully during the ceremony. That meant a lot.
Despite the early hour and the mountaintop location, Sandra showed up ahead of time with enthusiasm and grace. Her calm and joyful presence set the tone for a beautiful morning.
She’s also incredibly reasonably priced for the level of care and professionalism she offers. As a bonus, Sandra connected us with a fantastic photographer who captured our special day beautifully, again, at a very fair price.
If you're looking for someone warm, organized, flexible, and genuinely invested in making your ceremony meaningful, we can’t recommend Sandra enough!

g and professional throughout the whole process! She made our ceremony run so smoothly and we really could not have done it without her— from our vows to our hand fasting, she gave us advice through it all and made the day truly unforgettable. Almost all of my family and friends thought the hand fasting was beautiful, and that was all credited to Sandra!!! I cannot recommend her enough!!

Sandra was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was genuinely interested in our backstory and curated the perfect way to share our journey as a couple. She thoughtfully included ...
moments that were sweet, funny, and reflective of our growth together. On the day of the wedding, she helped calm our nerves and offered helpful guidance throughout the ceremony. We are so thankful to have had Sandra be part of our wedding day; her heart and compassion truly reflect her deep love for what she does.

a week before. Sandra responded promptly and worked with us to create the wedding ceremony of our dreams! She worked with us over video chat to understand what we wanted and helped walk us through the process. She shared her speeches with us and allowed up to many any changes we wanted, up to the very last minute. She took a lot of time to get to know us and our story and make our wedding ceremony specifically detailed towards us. And it felt like, by the end of the ceremony, that we had made an incredible connection with an incredible human being who helped make our last minute meeting a very special day. She was so flexible, kind, and willing to work with us in our chaos. I'd recommend Sandra to anyone!

as my first choice. Sandra gives so much more than only a wedding officiant. She gave me ideas and suggestions for the ceremony that I would have never thought of.

You'll always be my first recommendation for anyone seeking an officiant in the Colorado Springs area.
