    So amazing!

    Sara was nothing short of amazing! She came highly recommended to us and we couldn’t imagined anyone better to officiate our wedding than her! When we first met Sara, she told us how each of her ceremonies were personalized to the couple, that she creates a story for the couple and the guests. But she also has fun with it and that’s exactly what she gives. She gave us both homework to do, with questions asking about our lives, our personalities, hobbies, what we want in life and for a partner. She then took those answers and made something magical. A ceremony to remember that had everyone engaged, laughing, and in tears. Sara also helped us with our vows! We were both stumped at some point or another and she directed each of us in the right direction! Sara is so kind and dependable and she is one of the best officiants in town. You will not be disappointed by choosing her!

    Magical and Catered to Perfection

    We are so thankful for Sara coming down and being the officiant of our wedding. She was very thorough and thoughtful in the weeks leading up to our wedding. She always stayed in contact and making sure that she has everything she needs.

    I remember when she first sent the list of questions she wanted answered to get to know us better and I remember it taking both of us quite a while especially my husband Zach. After we both got it done, we both agreed that was worth the effort and the time I needed to make sure that we answer each individual question to our best of our abilities and put our hearts and feelings into it. Sarah picked up on how sincere and heartfelt we answered those those questions so, she used the questions we gave her as part of the wedding when she married us. We also had her read us our vows, because we both knew that we were going to tear up and become a crying mess if we did ourselves really nailed it on the head. We both teared up throughout the whole ceremony. We knew that she was very passionate and talented with her words.

    Before the wedding she met with both of us to go over what she was going to do and the ceremony to make sure that we know when to walk out, when she was going to move for pictures in order to make sure that photographers got all the wonderful pictures that we wanted. She gave us words of wisdom, saying that the wife typically stressed up until the wedding day. Then the husband gets stressed out during the ceremony and will usually jump the gun and saying “I do” because she seen so many husbands who forget when the proper queue for “I do” is supposed to go. She also sends a written copy of your whole ceremony on your first anniversary which is perfect! She was super fast on getting our marriage certificate over to the judge as well.

    In the end, Sarah is extremely passionate, kind, thoughtful, funny and we are honored for her to perform our ceremony, and we would recommend anyone else to do the same. If we were to get our vows renewed, we will most definitely be going to her again. She also sends a written copy of your whole ceremony on your first anniversary which is perfect! We love you Sara! There will never be enough thank you’s that we can give to you!

    She was incredible

    Sara really made the ceremony more perfect than we could’ve ever imagined. The way she created vows from both of our stories about each other was truly beautiful and exciting to hear from someone else’s perspective. The ceremony was heartfelt and entertaining. She had us laughing and crying the entire time. I highly recommend using Sara for your wedding you will not regret it!!!

    Saramonies for the win!!

    Sara with Saramonies was so delightful! She had us fill out some questions that definitely taught us more about each other than we knew before. Her words are so kind but she adds a lot of laughter and flavor in her speech. I couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our big day!!!

    Sara is Amazing!

    Our experience with Sara was amazing. Our guests are still talking about how memorable the ceremony was, months after our wedding. Sara takes time to get to know you and your love story and it is incredible to hear her use your own words throughout the ceremony. Post wedding, we loved going back and hearing each others answers to the solo questions!

    Perfectly Personalized

    Sara made our ceremony so personal to us, it was very special. You can tell she loves what she does and loves telling people's love stories. The way she crafts your ceremony makes every moment so special. We had absolutely no idea what she was going to say, or what the other person had said in response to her questions and that made it so special to hear. It was the perfect amount of quirky, funny, and emotional. It felt very authentic to us and told our love story beautifully.

    Saramonies provided a one-of-a-kind wedding that our guests will never forget!

    As a wedding professional, I have seen countless weddings and when it was time to plan my own, I knew that I needed Sara as our officiant. She was actually the very first vendor I secured (3 days after we chose our date). Luckily, she travels for her weddings and was more than happy to come to us in Nashville.

    Leading up to the wedding, I spoke very highly of her to all the guests (or anyone who would listen) about how amazing her work is. However, regardless of all of the events I’ve attended, she somehow still exceeded my expectations. Sara's ability to get to know each couple on a deeper level, highlight the beautiful aspects of their relationship, and then curate a unique experience that ensures no two ceremonies are alike….it is beyond special.

    We seriously lost count of how many people complimented the ceremony and told us that they loved how custom it was. We’re so so thankful for her and how she made our magical day one that we’ll never forget! We love you Sara❤️❤️

    The best choice we could have made!

    Sara traveled from Tallahassee to Jacksonville for our wedding in June and it was 100% worth it. My husband and I had pretty high expectations of what we wanted from our officiant and Sara checked every single box. She was very professional, friendly, funny, and accommodating. Most of all, she gave us the most personalized ceremony speech that we could have ever asked for. She went above and beyond to incorporate everything that was important to us and genuinely captured who we are as a couple through her words. Our ceremony was truly one of a kind, thanks to Sara.

    No boring ceremony

    Our wedding photographer recommended her. Sara was great and very easy to work with. She made our ceremony so personable that our guest thought she actually knew us. I had so many guest tell us that it was the best wedding ceremony they have ever been to. She defiantly made our day even more special then we could have imagined.

    Amazing and magical

    Sara is incredible. I would not hire anyone else. She asks you questions about your love story like how you first met, what you love about each other, etc and then from there she will craft the ceremony and write out your gorgeous love story. She really gives it a thousand percent and makes sure it is special and personal to you and your relationship. It's really amazing. She is a wonderful person also which was just a bonus. We had the most perfect, beautiful wedding.

    Amazing Ceremony!

    Sara Michaels did our ceremony for our wedding this spring and it was simply amazing. Without a doubt, she knocked it out of the park and set the joyful tone for our wedding and the unforgettable celebration at the reception that follows. Sara puts a lot of work into these custom ceremonies and used a series of questions we had to complete together and an even longer series of questions we had to complete apart. This was actually fun, and we ended with many surprises and laughs. She can make it as serious or as whimsical, religious or non religious as you want. More so than any other part of our beautiful wedding, Sara's ceremony and delivery were by far the most complimented thing by our gusts and family. We are so glad we found her. - Tom and Cheryl

    Absolutely wonderful!

    Sara was absolutely wonderful as an officiant and gave us a beautiful ceremony. She's incredibly easy to talk to and by the time she married us had become a close friend. She delivered so many laughs and sweet moments during our ceremony it was truly invaluable. She pays attention to what her couple wants and really gets to know you. We received so many compliments on our wedding ceremony but all the praise goes to her! If you're looking for an officiant, look no further.

    Sara takes such care and time with her couples and we felt she truly captured our relationship. Having her facilitate this day was absolutely the best choice we could have made. It was perfect!

    Saramonies

    My Wife and I got married in November of 2021. We had a little over a year to plan the wedding and when it came time to picking an officiant we found Sara and set up a meeting. After meeting with her one time we knew immediately that she was the one that was going to marry us on our special day. She emailed a couple of lists to fill out to get to know us as a couple and individually, that’s what she does after all is make the ceremony a personalized story that everyone enjoys. It was so amazing to have a ceremony that was so personal and told our love story to everyone who might not have known. Overall I would 100% recommend Saramonies for your officiant as she won’t disappoint.

    Officiating Extraordinaire!

    I called officiants in my area and all of them were “pick one of my ceremony templates to present.” No questions, no personalization, nothing. As soon as I spoke to Sara, fireworks went off and I knew she was the perfect match. Her creative writing background and process is so unique and different, which allowed for endless opportunities for a very intimate and personalized ceremony. Throughout the whole planning process, she made it so easy and welcoming to communicate everything I wanted to incorporate, and she always gave her professional input on how we could do so or improve upon my ideas.
    We had a unique situation where Sara was booked on our wedding day, but that did not stop her in providing alternative options. Her sister was sent in her absence and, my goodness, she was just as professional, helpful, kind and warm. When the day came it was insane to think that someone, who we had never met and only communicated by phone and email, could truly capture us and our relationship so perfectly. Our friends and family came up to us afterwards saying that it was the most special and loving ceremony they have ever been to. Not to mention the amount of grown men that later came up and said that her words had them crying too! After explaining her process, they loved the idea that what we were hearing for the first time included them so intimately as well.
    The ceremony was perfect and was an absolute highlight of the evening for us and I think everyone else too. If it wasn’t for her hard work, time, creativity, life and love she put into it, it would have been any other boring ol’ ceremony. It was so heartfelt, emotional, and funny while making it exceptionally “us.” She was everything my husband and I had hoped for in our officiant because she gets what couples want - a tailor ceremony just for you and your husband.

    Highly Recommend using Sara!!

    So glad we picked Sara to do our wedding. We have gotten SO many compliments about what an awesome job she did. Throughout the entire process she made us feel so comfortable as she is very easy going and friendly. I loved how she asked both myself and my husband the same set of questions via email to help get to know us better (it was fun reading each others answers after the wedding was all over too :) ) It made our ceremony truly unique and very personal. Highly recommend choosing her I promise she will not disappoint!!

    Ceremonial Bliss

    Sara wrote an unique ceremony which shared our love story with family and friends. She was responsive, supportive and truly engaged in our whole wedding experience. Guests commented on how they were surprised over the ceremony as they expected the "standard" ceremony. Many people commented on how our love story brought tears and laughter. Sara is worth the investment and I would highly recommend her!

    She was AMAZING!!!! She made our ceremony very personal and hit all the right points and made it super special!

    Sara is AMAZING to say the least! She made our ceremony personal with what we told her about ourselves and then about our spouse. I’ve gotten so many compliments about her from our family and friends about how awesome she was. She kept it light and fun and really made us feel at ease and not so nervous. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!! My sister in law is planning to use her at her wedding in 2023 she was so awesome! Thank you again Sara! You made our ceremony really special and our family and friends could feel that while watching. Keep doing what your doing because your doing it right! :)

    Personalized Service Fit Us To A "T"

    Sara got to know us, and then went way above-and-beyond in her research / preparations. The service was hilarious, heart-felt and most importantly was about US. She wasn't some nameless functionary reciting the same things one would hear at ~anyone's~ wedding. This was clearly, uniquely, OUR wedding and it was AWESOME.

    Saved My Wedding During COVID-19!

    We had planned a church wedding with my cousin conducting the ceremony. Two months before our big day, the pandemic forced us to cancel all the plans and prevented any family or friends from attending, including my cousin! Sara came highly recommended to us and she agreed to help us on short notice. You'd never know she had little more than a couple of weeks to get to know us. Through her personable questionnaires and e-mails, she crafted a ceremony that brought life and joy to a three person wedding. My (now) husband said her questions really helped him focus on what our special day meant to us, even with COVID-19 circling all around. We feel very grateful to have found Sara and recommend her to anyone who wants a ceremony tailored to you!! Thank you, Sara, for your care with the most special day of our lives!!

    Perfection

    Sara was amazing from the very beginning. My wife and I had some specific things that we wanted included in the ceremony, including hand fasting and Viking vows, and Sara accommodated us without a second thought and provided additional readings that made everything flow so beautifully. For those unsure about the process, Sara will meet with you initially to get to know you and start getting some ideas about what vibe the ceremony will have. Then she is amazing about maintaining email and phone contact. Our families are still talking about how amazing the ceremony was... Don't hesitate, and have someone recording because there will be belly laughs and some sweet tears!

    Amazing Officiant!

    Going into our wedding planning, we had no idea who would officiate it and how our wedding day would look. Luckily, Sara's name kept coming up from multiple people, including my mother, and we knew we had to reach out to her.



    From our initial conversation over the phone, we both were overjoyed just visualizing her suggestions for our ceremony. We loved the idea of incorporating our love story, having a communal moment of support for our marriage with our loved ones, and giving our family a special moment of well wishes during our ceremony.



    She tailored the ceremony to everything we wanted and gave us great inputs to make it more special than what we initially envisioned. She is responsive, accommodating, and a joy to work with. Our family and friends raved about how amazing she was, and we had four separate people come up to us asking how we found her.



    Not only was Sara extremely helpful through navigating our wedding during a pandemic, but she was also a HUGE help after the wedding too by supporting us during our reception and letting us know of things to keep in mind to ensure everything ran smoothly. She was also quick to organize and deliver our marriage certificate in person soon after the ceremony.

    We knew we were getting an amazing officiant with a creative writing background. However, we got that and so much more. She is warm, friendly, funny, and brought so much life to our little party. We love Sara and highly recommend her special touches for making your day beyond what you hoped for.

    exceptional

    We could not have asked for a better wedding officiant. Multiple guests even asked us how they can get in contact with Sara so they too, can enjoy the amazing experience like we did on our special day. Sara took so much time into getting to know us to make sure our wedding ceremony was our own. She had everyone laughing and crying. She told our story beautifully. I will forever cherish her.

    Elopement ceremony

    We are 70 years young and had a ball planning our mini wedding with all the works, for two. We like to cut up and so does Sara, so you can say anything and just be yourself. She will pick up on the right things to say.
