    10/10 Experience

    Terumi was a wonderful officiant who made our ceremony meaningful and memorable in so many ways. We received many compliments following our wedding of how much our guests enjoyed her ceremony. She was able to make non-denominational ceremony feel deep yet celebratory, and although I'm biased, I can say I've never enjoyed or resonated more with a wedding ceremony than with hers! There are many personal touches (optional, not required) that she brings that I've not seen before and really enjoyed.

    Don't hesitate – hire Terumi today! She is an incredible value for what she provides and I'm so fortunate to have had her as my officiant.

    Amazing experience!

    Terumi was absolutely amazing to work with! She worked with us to customize the ceremony to be exactly what we had envisioned and felt so personable and thoughtful. She was extremely responsive during the planning process. We had two meetings prior to the wedding where she worked to get to better know my husband and I and understand our love story. She did an amazing job with the ceremony day of and everyone was raving about how great our officiant was!

    One of the Best Parts of Wedding Experience

    We cannot say enough about how grateful we are to have found A Sacred Love Sanctuary to officiate our ceremony! Rev Temuri has an amazing positive energy that helped us to remain present and grounded throughout our ceremony. We will take all she shared with us into our marriage. Thank you for a beautiful ceremony!

    The Best Around !!!

    Terumi is the total package!!! Although I had a small ceremony, she made my dreams of a wedding at my parents home place come true! She is very pleasant to work with and always made sure she answered all my questions, very attentive, creative and punctual! Not only did she marry us , she also offers couples advice in the future if needed! 10 out of 10 I highly recommend 😊😊😊
    Thanks Glenn

    Intimate Wedding Ceremony

    Reverend Terumi Culmer made our wedding ceremony intimate, and we cannot thank her enough for the beautiful words spoken. She highlighted the main focal points of our love life to ensure our guests could capture a great understanding of us. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, Reverend Culmer made it seem as if she had known us for years, and it was shown on our big day as she explained our love story and the reasons why we had fallen for each other. She goes in depth to customize the ceremony to perfection and makes your wedding an unforgettable day. The stress is relieved when you do not have to worry about the marriage certificate. This was a destination wedding in NC for us so Revered Culmer made sure everything was in order to receive our certificate less than two weeks after our wedding day. A true professional!!

    Warm + Personable Officiant

    Terumi brought such comforting and warm energy to our wedding. From our very first consultation with her, my husband and I knew that Terumi would be a genuine, caring and thoughtful officiant. Even though we had only known Terumi for a very short time, she ensured that our ceremony was tailored perfectly to our personalities and our love story. When people ask what my favorite part about our wedding was, I never hesitate to say that it was the ceremony.

    We loved Terumi as our officiant and loved her pre-marriage course!

    Terumi was amazing as our officiant! The entire ceremony was well thought out and her speeches and choice of words were beautiful! It was my dream ceremony as a result of her! We also had the opportunity to take her pre-marriage course which was spread out over 5 weeks! It was well worth the investment. I am not one to get into anything without learning more about it first and marriage (a life time commitment) is no exception. I highly recommend taking her pre-marriage course as it gives you tools and insights you will need to better yourself and your relationship throughout your marriage journey! Terumi herself was amazing and we enjoyed the opportunity of bonding with her through this course prior to her being our wedding officiant. She is incredibly kind, passionate, gentle, and healing. We can not recommend her enough!

    100/10!! Such an amazing Experience!!

    Terumi was GREAT! Our guests enjoyed her just as much as we did also which was awesome! In the planning stage we felt like she really took the time to get to know us and our story. She then portrayed it masterfully and beautifully during our ceremony. She took her time enough to emphasize how special and important our day was, but also didn’t keep us standing too long which was perfect! She is the most poised, professional and prepared officiant we’ve ever seen. We don’t plan on doing this again but If we had to do it all over we’d 1000% book Terumi again!! We truly enjoyed every part of her service and are looking forward to keeping in touch!

    EXCEPTIONAL Officiant - Perfection!

    We had a private, backyard elopement and choosing Terumi as our officiant was the best decision we made. Her calm, grounded presence and attentiveness as an officiant made our ceremony special. Beyond her wonderful work as our officiant, she made the planning process easy. She created the perfect custom ceremony based on what we wanted. Terumi is FANTASTIC! We will cherish our memories of this day forever.

    Amazing heartfelt ceremony

    We decided to elope. The officiator was absolutely great. She kept constant communication to ensure that our day was exactly how we planned. She spoke amazing words of love and marriage during the ceremony. We plan to have a bigger wedding in the near future and we are certain that we will be requesting services from A Scared Love Sanctuary.

    I was deeply moved by your kind words and the love shared by you and Amanda! Keep the magic alive! Reach out and let me know how you're doing!! All In The Spirit of Love!

    Absolutely amazing!

    Terumi is great! She is so sweet and kind. We had a couple of consultations leading up to the ceremony to make sure we had everything in order. She helped coach us through the process and was super helpful. Our ceremony ended up being exactly what we wanted! There was a great moment where she invited us to relish in the moment and connect with ourselves and feel our feet on the ground and that was our favorite part. 10/10 would recommend. You will love having her as a part of your day!

    Amazing experience

    From the moment we spoke with Reverend Terumi, we could feel the good vibes and love radiating. She has such a kind, calming spirit. Her words are intentional and heartfelt. We were beyond thrilled with our wedding ceremony and how personal and moving her words were. Terumi learns what means most in your relationship and gets to know you beyond a surface level. I highly recommend having Terumi – she is an amazing person and her positive presence will make such a wonderful impact on your special day.

    Deep Rooted Purpose of Marriage :
    My husband and I decided to do the Deep Rooted Purpose of Marriage prior to Reverend Terumi being our officiant at our wedding. We always wanted to do some pre-marital work and when we saw this was something she had to offer, we were all in. The course gives you a clear understanding of what’s most important and what it really means to be a husband/wife. We were given an outlook that truly impacted our relationship as a whole and enriched our love for one another. Reverend Terumi spends time on what is most important for your relationship. It’s more than a course – it’s a foundation to a lasting marriage.

    Thank you for everything!!

    AMAZING - A moment I’ll cherish for ever & I’m forever grateful for Terumi!

    Obstacle upon Obstacle - but Terumi had a solution for everything. Honestly without her I probably wouldn’t of gotten married this past weekend! She was so flexible when we originally had to cancel our wedding and change the ceremony to an elopement. She helped with planning, vows, and basically the whole thing. We lost our photographer a few hours before the ceremony and she was so kind to ask her husband to come along to take pictures with his cell phone so we would capture a little bit of the moment. We went for a more spiritual approach versus the religious approach and let me tell you she had us both (myself and my husband) in tears and it was such a powerful moment. She was fantastic, I could say more but if you don’t hire her to officiate your wedding you’re missing out.

    Warm and inviting!

    Terumi was a very amazing woman to work with on our special day. She helped us very confused people figure out what we needed to do for our celebration, and helped blend our values along with some more traditional values together for a very warm, and loving celebration. She helped amplify what we thought would be a simple celebration and turn it into something that much more special. Thank you, Terumi!

    A great mountaintop wedding!

    We had a great experience and were very happy to have Terumi officiate our elopement! She went above and beyond in helping us organize our vows, and travelled to our location which was a big plus. The ceremony itself went off wonderfully and was very memorable on top of the mountain. Thank you!!!

    We loved having Rev Terumi as our officiant

    Rev Terumi was amazing at our ceremony. Her speech was beautiful and has brought a tear to my eye every time I watch our wedding video. She was very flexible, and stayed with us even when we changed our venue from Charlotte to 4 hours away in Hilton Head. We would highly recommend!
