Sara was amazing!! She really took the time to get to know us and crafted the best ceremony speech! My husband and I are so grateful to have found her info on the Knot. She truly added to the ceremony and we have nothing but the best things to say. Our guests also commented on how happy she was and that they loved her as well! Sara is so sweet and walked us through the whole ceremony at rehearsal until everyone was comfortable, so the day of the wedding, there were no nerves on where we all needed to be. She’s the best!
Absolutely Perfect Wedding Ceremony Thanks to Sara!
My wedding ceremony officiated by Sara was absolutely perfect! From our very first meeting, I could tell how friendly she was and how much she truly cared about creating the perfect speech for our ceremony.
Sara was incredibly patient, answering all of our questions thoughtfully. I especially appreciated that she provided PDFs of potential readings to choose from—something I felt totally overwhelmed about before she offered her help.
I loved how beautifully she incorporated all of our preferences into the ceremony. She even allowed us to proofread her speech ahead of time, and I absolutely loved it. I only requested one small change, which she was incredibly receptive to.
On our wedding day, Sara spoke so elegantly and clearly. She has a truly beautiful voice and delivered the most perfect ceremony. Her voice, delivery, and words were so meaningful that our videographer even used her speech as the voiceover in our wedding video.
I highly, highly recommend Sara. She was absolutely perfect and made our wedding ceremony so special!
