Rings & Vows

Sandra was amazing! Right on time, short and sweet ceremony exactly how we wanted it. Thanks again, Sandra! 🤍

Simply put, our experience was perfect! At a time of so much stress and uncertainty, we found comfort with Sandra. She was easy to get a hold of, always answered our questions and eased our concerns. She composed a beautiful ceremony and during the wedding she assisted with the rings and our vows. She made our wedding the memorable experience we had hoped for.

Sandra Gabriel did a great job. Despite the short notice and changes on our part Sandra was very accommodating and patient throughout he whole process. She was very helpful in answering our questions and provided all the information we needed. She was overall very caring , understanding and friendly. I would recommend her as a Justice of the Peace without reservation.

Sandra is amazing!! From the first time we met to wedding day, she made us feel at ease and really excited for our big day. She took the time to really get to know us, our families and friends, and truly personalize our ceremony. Our guests loved everything from start to finish. Only good things to say about Sandra! Would absolutely recommend her for your big day!!

Sandra was awesome! She made our ceremony very personable and even contacted friends and family to get more information about us. She made us laugh and cry. It was exactly what we wanted for our ceremony.

Not a dry eye in the house! She really puts the work in to create a personalized, beautiful ceremony. Sandra came highly recommended to us by another officiant who was booked for our day (so already you know she’s great if her peers recommend her), and I am so glad that we were introduced to her! My husband and I were planning a CT wedding from CA and were overwhelmed with much of the process. Sandra came in and helped us get sorted and create an absolutely beautiful day. She made us comfortable and interviewed us AND our friends and family members scattered across the country to compile stories and get a better picture of our personalities and relationship that made for a unique and personal ceremony. Our loved ones really appreciated being part of the process, and the outcome wildly exceeded our expectations. The photographer mentioned that she “has never seen so many people cry at a wedding”. Granted, we’re softies, but Sandra did an incredible job of hitting all the right notes. She even proofread our vows and had them printed and ready for us at the “altar” on the beach so we didn’t have to worry. It was that type of attention to detail that she brought to the whole ceremony. I might cry just remembering it! If you are looking for an officiant that will respect the vibe you’re going for, go the extra mile to personalize your story, and will help you plan your ceremony without any added pressure then you are in the right place. She’s affordable, reliable, creative, and an absolute joy to work with.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. We chose Sandra for a 30 minute ceremony. Before she wrote our ceremony, myself and my husband were each asked to separately fill out a questioner so she could get to know more about us and our relationship from our point of views. She then asked for a few contacts of our friends and family so she could reach out and learn more about our relationship in the eyes of others. From there, she created a very personalized ceremony for us. She was absolutely incredible!!! She looked beautiful and cleaned up very nicely, which I find important since this person is in all of your ceremony photos. She had a lovely voice, was very literate and read at a good pace. You would think that she had known us personally with the ceremony that she had put together for us. She truly listened to us and what our loved one’s had to say about us, and created something that could only be used to describe our love and our relationship. I had more compliments on the ceremony than I did anything else that day, and that's saying a lot because everything was incredible! I don’t think myself or husband could have created something more perfect for ourselves than she did. I highly highly highly recommend Sandra.

I cannot say enough good things about Sandra. HIRE HER. My husband and I set up several phone calls with officiants. Sandra was the first, and right from the start, we knew we had to choose her. The others didn’t even compare. Sandra is caring, thoughtful, passionate, warm and such a positive soul. The level of detail and care she put into our ceremony blew us away. It was so personal and full of joy, a little sentimental and truly captured the essence of the day. She really got to know us and our family + friends over the course of six months, and wove an incredible ceremony together that we absolutely cherished. Everyone thought it was absolutely beautiful and we still get complimented on it. My family was disappointed that my husband and I weren’t choosing to have a religious ceremony, but Sandra wove in traditions and religious customs that made the ceremony so personal to us + our families. In the end, they were equally as happy as we were. I still can’t believe how lucky we got in finding her.

Personalized, poignant and poised are words to describe Sandra and the ceremony she wrote for my husband and I. Sandra took the time to reach out to close friends to really get to the root of our relationship. My husband and I spoke at length with her about details in our relationship that we had even forgotten about , such as what we did on the second date and exploring our feelings and emotions through out the beginning of our relationship. We really appreciated Sandra taking the time to incorporate my family in specific readings through out the ceremony which meant a lot to us. When it was show time, it was our first time actually meeting Sandra up underneath our Chuppah yet it felt as if we had already known her. I felt as if the 3 of us were secluded and we even got the case of the giggles in the middle of the ceremony! It was a very windy and chilly day, yet Sandra stood by us and with us outside supporting us as we transitioned into this new chapter.

Where to begin with Sandra?! She officiated our wedding this past July and was absolutely incredible. My husband and I met her months prior to our special day, about 30 minutes into our meeting I knew she was *the one* we wanted to marry us. What really spoke volume to me is when she encouraged us to meet with other officiants to see who we really gelled with the best. Her sincerity and genuineness in that moment just shined. She 100% absolutely wants the best for her clients and wants to ensure she is the PERFECT match for you as a couple. Well, we knew she was the perfect match for us. She spent time getting to know us and called our closest family and friends to get the really “good stuff” about our relationship. The night of our wedding I had a handful of guests come up and tell us our ceremony was so personal and beautiful and asked if we knew Sandra! She is that spectacular that our some of guests thought she was a close friend! We are forever grateful to have had her apart of our special day and highlight our love in the truest form. I can’t say enough great things about her and I just want to thank her from the bottoms of our hearts for making our ceremony absolutely amazing and so heartfelt. Thank you Sandra! I would recommend you over and over and over again!! Xo

Sandra is the absolute best! She invests in her couples and makes you feel so comfortable. My husband and I were married on May 4th, 2018 and Sandra was very accommodating by coming to our home to marry us. We love Sandra so much that we have asked her to officiate us again at our ceremony/wedding this fall for all of our friends and family to experience with us. I would only recommend Sandra to anyone looking for services she provides.

Right from the beginning we knew Sandra was the officiant for us! She really took the time to get to know who we were and what our love was all about. She found the things that made us quirky and incorporated it all into the service. The result was a ceremony that everyone enjoyed and was truly unique to us. Many of our guests even asked about using her for their upcoming weddings. Some day when my wife and I decide to renew our vows, we hope Sandra will be there for us again!

I cannot say enough good things about Sandra! We met at a bridal expo in Stamford and clicked right away. Our ceremony was the perfect combo of serious and silly just like we imagined. She took the time to get to know us so she could add personal details to our ceremony. She put my husband at ease when he started to get nervous beforehand. Her experience and compassion truly shines through.

Sandra was our officiant at our wedding this September and she was great. She was flexible and responsive and really took the time to learn our story and personalize the ceremony. I would recommend using Sandra's services for your big day!

We used Sandra for our rustic casual wedding in August and she was amazing! It was so easy to work with her especially with us living in a different state then our wedding venue. She made everything so simple and easy. All of our guests loved the vows and loved Sandra stuck to our personalities!

Every once in a while, you get to witness someone who is living in the moment of their craft. The way in which Sandra becomes part of your wedding is truly special. My wife and I weren't looking for the traditional ceremony, but we appreciated the wholesome values that derive from those traditions. Sandra was able to tune into exactly what we were looking for and turned what I initially thought would more of a formality type experience, into a memorable chapter of our love story. It was a joy to have her be a part of the best day of my life, and she did so with a high level of emotional intelligence, wit, and grace. Highly recommended!

I was a guest at a June wedding Sandra performed. It has to be said, the ceremony was hands down the most heartfelt, personable and ENJOYABLE ceremonies I have ever attended. I was so surprised to find out Sandra wasn't a friend of the bride and groom. I did not know the bride well, but I felt like I did by the time she was done.

Sandra did an incredible job as officiant of our wedding. Her preparation was top notch. She asked us thoughtful questions and reached out to some of the closest people in our lives to get to know us even better. Her words at our ceremony were beautiful and original and well-received by everybody. I can't wait for my video to come out so I can relive it. She was kind and professional in all our interactions and I highly recommend her.

Sandra Gabriel was a wonderful officiant for our September wedding in Norwalk. She took the time to get to know my husband and I over the months leading up to the wedding via in person meetings, phone chats, questionnaires and patiently answering all of my emails. She also spoke with several important people in our lives. The resulting ceremony was beautifully personal, there was no canned ceremony feeling; it truly felt like “us”. Sandra was sure to ask what we were and were not comfortable with in terms of traditions, language, and style which helped her tailor it to us even more. I know I am biased since it was my wedding, but it was one of the most personalized and heartfelt ceremonies I have ever witnessed. Even guests that didn’t know one of us that well felt like they got to know us better through Sandra’s words. I cannot thank her enough for crafting and presenting the perfect ceremony for our wedding day.

Sandra was simply amazing. She captured the essence of us and was more than we could have ever imagined. After swapping a few emails, sitting down a few times, and her talking to some of our closest people, she wrote an amazing ceremony that perfectly depicted us. She embraced the terrible puns and corniness that is us and wrote a memorable and wonderful story to start our journey. I can not tell you how many people came up to us and loved the ceremony and was convinced we had known her for years! Hopefully we will for many more!! Thank you so much! Castle Stormed. Go forth and do great things!

Sandra was absolutely amazing. She took the time to get to know me and my husband through friends and family. She crafted such a beautiful ceremony that was so personal and touching I had family and friends asking me if she was a close friend of ours. Absolutely, hands down, she made our ceremony special and memorable. She was fantastic.

Sandra stepped in as our officiant just a few months before our wedding when we decided we did not want a family member perform the ceremony. We knew right away when we met her on face time that we were lucky to have found her! Sandra was extremely personal, flexible, and professional. She met with us to discuss details, had us both complete a long questionnaire to get to know us, spoke with several friends and family members and wrote a personalized ceremony. We both agree the ceremony was the most special time of the day! Our family and friends agree love was in the air during the ceremony and everyone in the crowd was engaged and present. Thank you so much Sandra!!

Sandra was so kind and patient with us, day of. She provided exactly what was needed for our special day in our special way. My husband and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Thank you again!

Sandra was the perfect choice of JP for our wedding ceremony! My fiance and I wanted a non-denominational ceremony, and we met with a few JPs. Most seemed to be more of a "wedding factory," until we met Sandra. She performs weddings because she loves to celebrate two people in love! I wanted to write my own ceremony and she sent me examples to work from, and then feedback on the drafts I sent her. She was clear and organized at the rehearsal and performed the ceremony beautifully on the wedding day. I would highly recommend her to any couple looking for someone to perform their wedding who does it because she really loves to be a part of such an important day!

Sandra was fantastic! She took the time to get to know us so it was personalized just for us. She doesn’t give you the basic ceremony you can get from anywhere but makes sure you have a wedding that’s just for you. Guests came up to me after and told me the stories about us made them laugh and the writings that she added herself made them cry. I love looking back at our wedding video and listening to our ceremony. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Sandra for making our day about us!

Sandra made our day so special and was a pleasure to work with! She made us feel very comfortable, answered all of our questions and guided us through the ceremony process from beginning to end. We will never forget our beautiful ceremony! Thank you, Sandra!!!
