Rev. Sarah Gutmann Long Island Wedding Officiant

Sarah was fantastic! Everyone who attended our wedding is still raving about the ceremony. She offers a lot of options for beautiful readings and incorporates original ideas in. She was super easy to work with and helpful throughout the whole process. Highly recommend.

We picked Sarah to be our officiant for the fact she was kind, gay friendly, and allowed us to incorporate religious parts of our ceremony in which we could not have due to not being able to get married in a catholic church. She said multiple times it’s OUR ceremony and she wanted it to be how we wanted it. My wife and I felt connected with her from the get go. So many of our loved ones texted us after the wedding and said she did an amazing job, especially with our love story and how she explained how we met. So personable! She was great all around from start to finish. We will absolutely be recommending her to others who may need an officiant.

We were so lucky to have met Sarah and have her officiate our wedding! Sarah was absolutely amazing, taking the time to meet with us and learn about our story. Any questions or changes we asked to be made Sarah was on it. She was one of our favorite vendors to work with throughout the whole process. We're very thankful for Sarah!

Rev. Sarah Gutmann, she was amazing and just so personable. My husband and I were looking for an officiant as soon as we booked our venue and we were having some trouble. Thankfully we looked up local officiants in our area and the knot came up with several officiants. Sarah was the first person that came up so we took a risk and called and she answered right away. We right away got down to business because of me trying to get everything done just so before the big day. Sarah schedule a FaceTime call with my husband and I and we immediately started answering questions and telling her about special times in our lives and all personal things about our relationship. I loved every minute of our conversation and how professional she was with us and how nice she was. On the big day she read our special love story which she wrote but of course we told her about us we also answered our secret questions which is something optional for the big day so my husband and I did it and it was truly so special and unique. We did a butterfly release which was something special to my husband and I because of loved ones we lost. It was fantastic it was a hit. Something so different. Thanks to Sarah our ceremony was perfection. We love you and thank you for all your help and support. We will always have you in our hearts. God bless you. XO love, Joseph and Jamie Esposito

We are so happy we found Sarah to marry us! Not only is she such a wonderful person to work with, but she takes such an interest in her couples. She met with us beforehand to learn our story and provided us with a number of options to tailor our ceremony and make it more personal. She was responsive and extremely professional, and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision.

Sarah was absolutely amazing. She took the time to get to know us, our background and what we wanted out of our ceremony. She allowed us to taylor every aspect and detail to give us the ceremony of our dreams, which is exactly what it was!! We honestly can’t say enough good things about her!!

Sarah is an incredible officiant. She has been great throughout the entire wedding planning process. I knew from the moment my husband and I met her at Starbucks, she was going to be our officiant. She is super easy to talk to and really takes the time to get to know her couples. Our ceremony was so meaningful and personal. My family and friends are still commenting on the amazing job that Sarah did.

Sarah was amazing to work with! We highly recommend her. She is very responsive to communication leading up to the big day and was able to answer any questions or requests that we had. She arrived on time, was professional and extremely nice and easy to talk to. Her officiant speech was perfect and clear. Can’t say enough good things about her!

Sarah made our ceremony come together beautifully ! There was tears, there was laughs, and she truly made the ceremony all us! She truly gets to know who she marries and puts their story in their ceremony. Everyone at the wedding said it was the most unique and special ceremony. Sarah you are the best and thank you for making our day so special 💗 darren and rebecca foster

My husband and I will be forever grateful to Sarah for going above and beyond to make our wedding the best day of our lives ! We are from California and Sarah helped us plan a surprise wedding in New York! There was so much to do and think about and Sarah was an integral part of guiding us. Her way of creating and guiding the ceremony was highly inclusive of what is really important to us and it was executed in an elegant and eloquent fashion. In addition, Sarah was always accessible when we needed her and she traveled quite a distance on a busy holiday weekend to do our wedding. We would never have been able to pull off a surprise out of state wedding without her incredible support and guidance. I highly recommend her to all !!

Sarah is the best! My husband and I just loved her. She really is such a down to earth nice person. We had nothing big as for both of us it was our second marriage. Even as small as it was Sarah had contact with us from our first phone call with her. She also took time out of her day to meet us at the beach to marry us. She charged no extra fee for this. She absolutely made our wedding day very special for us. We highly recommend her. We think anyone would be very happy with her.

We could not have asked for a better officiant than Rev. Sarah Gutmann. She is a genuinely kind person that puts in the time and effort to make your wedding ceremony heartfelt and personal. She is also an extremely warm, caring, and fun person that you will be happy to have be a part of your special day. We cannot recommend Sarah highly enough!

We couldn’t have found a better officiant for our wedding. Sarah is so down to earth and a genuinely kind person. She took the time to get to know us before the wedding so she could create a personalized ceremony for our special day. We highly recommend Sarah a million times over!

when my husband and I were looking for officiants we wanted someone who could tell our love story, include our nerdiness and bring laughter and tears to our ceremony. Sarah did just that! Sarah got to know us as a couple and made us feel very comfortable during our meeting. She made the whole process very smooth and there was no anxiety. If you are a Game Of Thrones fan she can even do the hand fasting/bonding ceremony from Game of Thrones which we loved! We are still getting compliments on how wonderful our ceremony was and how wonderful Sarah was! There was not a dry eye at our ceremony and there were quite a few chuckles!

We were so impressed and beyond satisfied with Sarah's enthusiasm, commitment to providing a ceremony that truly reflected us, and availability. She really went above and beyond and our ceremony was perfect.

Sarah is the best officiant on Long Island. There is no need to look for anyone else. She was so attentive to what we wanted and made sure to tailor our ceremony to what our wishes were. Do yourselves a favor and make sure you have her officiate your ceremony. Rosanna and Charlie Santiago

We got married this past November and Sarah did an amazing job officiating our wedding. Very professional and great personality.

Sarah is absolutely the best. She is kind and friendly and was very attentive to our requests. She made us feel like family and we were both extremely comfortable with her from the very first meeting. The service went off without a hitch and any questions or concerns we had before hand were answered promptly and in a way that we were able to understand. Price were affordable and we couldn't have made a better choice.

From start to finish, Sarah was an absolute professional! She is beyond helpful, sweet, thorough, funny, personable, and knew exactly what she was doing every step of the way! She is super flexible and willing to make any adjustments to her already outstanding “menu” of options to choose from. My husband and I were able to hand pick our entire ceremony to make it our own. We could not be more pleased with how our special day came together because of Sarah!

Sarah is incredibly gifted. I wish there was a sixth star for me to go the extra mile because that is truly what she does. From the moment we first talked with her we were immediately at ease. Her process was so seamless. She fully customized every aspect of our ceremony, presented us with ideas and unique approaches that people are still talking about. Every person that attended has shared with us different components of the wedding that resonated with them (many to the point of tears, laughter, or both. She even gave us the idea to reveal our baby’s gender during the ceremony with colored sand which blew people’s minds. It was so special and it was all her. She has an incredibly calming presence, her humor is natural and universal. Nothing that she does feels forced or out of place. We were so lucky to have had Sarah as our officiant. I’ve been in many weddings, attended many weddings, and I can without the slightest hesitation say with certainty that she is the best I have seen. Her professionalism, punctuality, organizational skills, writing, speech, amiability, attention to detail, and creativity put her in a class of her own. It is easy to see that she loves what she does and her personality is the icing on the cake. We basically sprung our wedding on her a couple weeks before and you would think she had a year to prepare seeing the final product of her work. She will make your day special and you will go into it feeling confident just knowing she’ll be standing up there with you. We were so blessed to have her saying she was a “hit” is a huge understatement. She will craft you an unforgettable ceremony and make it literally whatever you want it to be. I cannot imagine there is another human being more deserving of the highest level of recognition that officiant’s are honored with. She told our love story so perfectly. You can trust in her. We did and she was the catalyst of a day I will remember for the rest of my life and I know my wife feels the same way. Do yourself a favor and hire her so that you too will have people telling you how unforgettable and special your day was. She is the Yoda of officiants. If I didn’t have work in the morning I would fill every space of this review box because that is the amount of effort she puts in and her participation and presence was truly priceless. Thank you Sarah, you are truly spectacular and the positive feedback is still pouring in! We love you!

Wow, Sarah! Her officiant speech was funny and sweet and we got SO many compliments saying how amazing she was. Could not recommend her enough. My husband and I met with her about 6 months before our wedding for an hour and when she gave the speech it was like she knew us forever! Her speech was so personal and on point that our guests thought she was a friend.

Sarah Gutmann officiated my wedding and she was nothing less then amazing. She really takes the time to get to know the bride and groom. She wrote a beautiful love story for us that had my guests in awe. She makes planning the ceremony smooth and simple. She is articulate and punctual. She is also clean and professional looking. There is no one better. 5 stars!

Sarah was awesome! From the very first time we talked to her she made everything very simple and made sure the ceremony would turn out just the way we would like it. She had tons of ideas and readings. We got so many compliments on how wonderful and beautiful the ceremony was. she created a beautiful love story by asking us secret questions which were so sweet and romantic. The ceremony came out to be such a special moment that we will never forget!

The best doesn't even begin to explain it. We were lucky enough to stumble across Sarah on the knot site. I had no idea who was going to marry my husband and I but once we met Sarah we didn't have to look any further. She started off our wedding in the most incredible way, with a beautiful ceremony that was funny, personal, emotional and overall AMAZING! Sarah met with us a few months prior to our wedding. She asked us what we wanted for our ceremony and showed a genuine interest for making sure she was able to do just that. We both were not interested on doing a heavily religious ceremony so instead Sarah turned our ceremony into a reflection of our relationships journey with an all encompassing love story, paired with a few well timed jokes and emotional touches. I can' begin to tell you how amazing of a job Sarah did. From our initial meeting up to the big day she was incredible. She always answered emails and calls if we had any questions and we are so thrilled to have found her!

During our wedding planning process, we met with a total of 3 officiants. From the minute we met Sarah, we knew she was who we wanted! We met with her at a local Starbucks, sat and talked with her for an hour and a half...she took the time to really get to know us as a couple and who the most important people in our life were. She truly understood us as a couple!! I didn't want a boring ceremony that was "blah" and I never felt that way booking with Sarah!! The day of our wedding, EVERYONE, including people working at our venue were complimenting our ceremony. Everyone loved it, everyone loved how personal and warm it was! It was perfect! From our "fairytale love story" to stopping our ceremony so she could give our 4 year old flower girl her jacket because she was freezing to our pixie dust "You may kiss the bride"...it was perfect!!! Sarah is amazing!

Sarah was a fantastic officiant – we had a nondenominational wedding and were looking for someone extremely personable and caring to make our ceremony truly special – Sarah was the perfect person for that job. We booked Sarah about a year prior to our wedding and in our first “meeting”, Sarah facetimed us and asked us all the hard questions. At the time, it felt like a therapy session, but looking back, this allowed her to get to know us on a deeper, personal level. We appreciated this as this made the ceremony more unique and personable rather than just another, cliché ceremony. All of our guests ranted and raved about her, saying it was one of the best, if not the best, ceremonies they’ve witnessed. We were nervous about writing our own vows, but she provided comfort and feedback to each of us on how we should approach our vows and after we had drafted what we wanted to say, she provided feedback and suggestions along the way. She comes loaded with a bunch of suggestions and ideas to make your ceremony more personalized and fun. We highly recommend Sarah!

I contacted Sarah only about a month before our wedding (nothing like waiting until the last minute!) and she responded immediately. Lucky for us she was available and so easy to work with. We knew what we wanted and Sarah was very accommodating to our quick ceremony request. Our guests all complimented her sweet and short ceremony! Sarah was a pleasure to work with and I would definitely recommend to fellow brides!

Reverend Sarah Gutmann is fantastic! We are still receiving complements on our personalized ceremony and what a wonderful job Sarah did. During our ceremony it began to rain and we can not thank her enough for the way she handled the wet situation. She didn’t skip a beat as the rain came down and continued the ceremony, which made for a fun and memorable day that we’ll never forget. We highly recommend Sarah as an officiant!!

I've had the opportunity to see Sarah officiate multiple weddings, and she helped prepare me to do one of my own. She is thorough, thoughtful, efficient and makes the crazy time leading up to a wedding fun and easy for a bride and groom. She is also great on the day of. Highly recommend.

Sarah was officiating a great friends wedding in June. I was a guest, and it was such a special ceremony because it was beyond obvious that Sarah took the time to get to know the couple, and make it very personalized to each of them. She was energetic and passionate, which just added so much joy to not only the couple, but their guests too. I would highly recommend Sarah!!

Sarah was wonderful to work with. We had a well planned elopement on the North Fork, with just us and my parents present. Although we did not have a traditional wedding, we wanted the day to be special and create a memory that will last a lifetime. Sarah provided us with sample language for our ceremony that we were able to personalize. She was prompt, personable, and made our small and intimate ceremony a day we will always treasure.

Rev. Sarah was great. She co-officiated our wedding on 9/22/18. She is very easy to communicate with and wrote a personalized love story that was both funny and touching. We received many compliments on our ceremony. I really like the way she was able to integrate her parts along with the Rabbi’s. It was an easy flow. She also has a really nice speaking voice, I enjoyed hearing her talk—maybe that sounds weird lol! I highly recommend her. Thank you Rev. Sarah!

Rev. Sarah Gutmann was the most perfect officiant we could have wished for! She was sensitive, fun, easy to communicate with, caring and very professional. She met personally with us and asked us about our courtship, current life and future dreams as a couple. She then wrote the most touching love story that had us and all our guests both in laughter and tears. The ceremony was simply magical. We highly recommend Sarah as a fantastic officiant! - Alejandra & Captain Andy

Sarah was amazing! The ceremony she wrote for us was so special and unique. It was such a special moment and we could not have had such a special ceremony without her.

Sarah was amazing!! She was great to work with - we didn't really have a specific idea of how we wanted the ceremony to go but she handled everything and gave us a ton of ideas and talked us through what we wanted for the ceremony and the best way to do it. She responded quickly (even when she was oversees on vacation) and managed to hit all of the necessary requirements of our ceremony. She knew we wanted to keep it short but also include our family and friends, so she planned the ceremony perfectly! She is funny- which you will immediately understand upon first meeting Sarah. Everyone commented on how funny and entertaining the ceremony was. But don't get it wrong, if you want a more serious tone she is fully capable of doing that as well. We wouldn't change a single thing about the ceremony, it was perfect! We would - and will - continue to recommend her to all of our friends getting married.

Sarah <3 omg my wife and I loveddd Sarah. After finding out that our officiant fell through, Sarah was so prompt and answered our inquiry so fast. She was actually away when we got a hold of her but that didn’t stop her from FaceTiming with us to introduce herself. More than an hour later and we just loved everything she threw at us. We wanted a beautiful ceremony that included the people closest to us and she did just that. When we started the process of designing our ceremony my wife and i were brought to tears with how beautiful it was coming out. Fast forward to the day of the wedding and there wasn’t a dry eye in the place. She made our mothers feel so special and we are still getting friends and family raving about how beautiful of a ceremony she put on. I can’t thank you enough for helping us make our wedding day the best day ever.

Rev. Sarah Gutmann was a pleasure to work with. Our ceremony was delivered beautifully, and the love story she wrote about my husband and I was just perfect. Sarah made the entire process of planning a ceremony so easy. All of our guests complimented our ceremony and shared how much they enjoyed it. I highly recommend using Rev. Sarah Gutmann for your special day!

Sarah Gutmann is not only a phenomenal officiant, but a truly kind and compassionate person. She took the time to really get to know us as a couple, and as a result, her ceremony was heartfelt and personal. Nothing sounded canned or rehearsed. Every moment was special and unique. Many of our guests commented that this was the best ceremony they had every seen. Our parents were equally impressed with how genuine and down to earth Sarah is. We wholeheartedly and with great enthusiasm recommend Sarah for any occasion; she is a gem.

Sarah is amazing. she brought me to tears when she wrote our 'love story' she took the time to get to know us as a couple so that we really felt the love in the room and not just reading from a piece of paper. she involved us in the creation of the whole ceremony and the process was smooth and easy. cant say enough great things about her highly recommend!!

Sarah officiated our wedding on October 7, 2017 and was wonderful! Couldn't have asked for a better officiant and she handled the atmosphere (was on the water so very windy) perfectly!

During our wedding planning, my now husband and I knew we wanted two things out of our ceremony: 1. Not boring, 2. (and most importantly) It needed to feel like "us". We didn't want a generic ceremony that could have been written about any couple. We needed someone who could convey our story in a sincere and beautiful way. And Sarah was absolutely that person. Since we live on the west coast, we skype interviewed our officiants to make sure we had someone who we clicked with. And what was supposed to be a 30-60 min interview turned into a 2+ hour conversation of laughter and emotions. She was just amazing from the start. While I am a very outgoing person and getting my thoughts and feelings is very easy, she was even able to work incredibly well with my introverted husband. She made us feel completely at ease, like a friend we've known for years. She then took everything we talked about and turned it into something we could share with our loved ones. The first time I read through our ceremony, I cried. And on the day of our wedding during our ceremony, I did it again. Most people only get complimented on how beautiful their ceremony was (if they get complimented at all), but so many of our guests told us how touching it was and how much of us was in every detail. She was so wonderful to work with and she is why I will always remember our ceremony as being absolutely perfect!

Sarah was an absolutely amazing officiant!! Everyone at our wedding commented about what a fabulous job our officiant did and how lovely the ceremony was. Sarah incorporated personalized details about our relationship, Jewish traditions and had the ceremony flow well. She was so kind and made us feel so calm and happy during the most important moment of our day.

We met Sarah through a recommendation of a good family friend, and we were so grateful for that introduction. Sarah was incredible and I received numerous remarks after my ceremony about how beautiful it was, and how intimate Sarah made it. Working with Sarah throughout the planning process is incredibly easy, she is quick to respond and truly takes an interest and care in each of the couples she works with. One of Sarah's trademarks is this personal story she writes about each couple and weaves it into the ceremony. As a couple, it's so special to have this level of detail and intimacy, and for the guests, it's a treat to learn more about how the couple met and our journey to becoming life partners. For me personally, I was having a rough day prior to the ceremony due to an unexpected violent storm and my dream of getting married by the water was ruined. Sarah was incredibly calm and flexible and helped put me to ease. I highly recommend Sarah to any couple!!

Our entire wedding was a dream, but Sarah's ceremony was what made our day so special. My husband and I cried when we read our Love Story for the first time. Sarah was incredible to work with from the beginning, our Facetime chat was seriously fun! She was able to capture so much from that 1.5 hour convo. Our guests laughed, cried, but most of all, loved how personal the ceremony was. After we walked down the aisle, I looked at my husband and said "that was so much fun!" I read reviews like crazy before booking Sarah, and they were all true!! She also had us covered when we lost our copy of the marriage license needed for our honeymoon. I would recommend Sarah to anyone looking for an officiant, she truly made our ceremony one we will never forget!!

PERFECT! We had a perfect day for a wedding on the beach, my Bride to be looked perfectly beautiful and Sarah created the most perfect ceremony! I had spoken to two other officiants before speaking with Sarah, immediately I knew Sarah would be our choice for our very special day because of her professionalism and her enthusiasm. Sarah then met with us in person and spend a lot of time hearing our story and getting to know us both while sharing some of her wedding adventures with us. Sarah took our story and our thoughts and turned them into a beautiful wedding ceremony! When grown men are still telling you weeks after the wedding that the party was great but the ceremony was really special, you know Sarah was perfect!
