Endorsements
"Weddings by Sandy is one of the BEST officiates that I have ever worked with in my career. Sandy is a doll and was very accomodating to my couple. I was very organized and provided a copy of the ceremony language to give my couple a feel for how the ceremony would go. She was also excellent at adapting to last minutes changes due to inclement weather. I love Weddings by Sandy and you should definetly use them for your next event!"
"We love working with Sandy! Wonderful, customized ceremonies with warmth and personality. If you are planning a ceremony outside your usual place of worship, talk to Sandy ~ she's just terrific!"
"Sandy is a rarity in the industry. She will take the time to understand who you are as a couple and help you to build a meaningful ceremony. She has the experience and knowledge to help you to plan a variety of ceremonies, including: commitment ceremonies, Christian ceremonies, hand fasting rituals, and civil ceremonies just to name a few. She is a caring person, who will work hard to make your ceremony everything you want it to be. I have no hesitations about recommending her to all of my clients."
"Sandy Bearden is a very personable, multi-talented, patient and professional person, who I had the pleasure of meeting and working closely with in March 2008 at a Women’s Entrepreneurial Expo. Sandy provided me with a wealth of information pertaining to the various ceremonies that she conducts and detailed steps as to how to customize your wedding vows (which is very beneficial to my clients). To put the icing on the cake, Sandy conducted an actual ceremony at the Expo, which was truly a huge treat for fellow exhibitors and visitors. I look forward to working with Sandy in future and I would recommend Weddings by Sandy to any of my clients who require her services for their special soirée! "
"Thank you for allowing us to be part of your network. We look forward to building a beautiful relationship with you in the near future! JB Yong Photographer - www.SweetDreamsStudio.com"

Sandy was amazing! She gave us a great ceremony ideas booklet from which with mixed and matched pieces of ceremonies to create our own. She was always available to answer our questions and was flexible and forgiving when I (the bride) missed my own wedding rehearsal! On the day of, she was well prepared and performed a thoughtful ceremony. Afterward, she gave us a bound copy of our ceremony as a keepsake. She was wonderful to work with and provides superb service at more than reasonable cost!

Rev. Sandy was truly spectacular!!! From the time we met her to the time she married us- she was truly wonderful. We were quite upset that we did not get to get married in our Catholic Church (long story with times with our venue) but Rev. Sandy made our wedding so wonderful that honestly we didn't even think about it again. Thank you Sandy for all of your hard work and dedication, we will never forget you! We will refer you to everyone we know and please feel free to use us as a referral.

Sandy was very professional. She was very organized and made our ceremony flow without any glitches. She was even nice enough to lend her ring when our best man forgot the wedding bands for the ceremony! It was easy to put our ceremony together thanks to her ceremony booklet that breaks everything down. This made it a little less stressful since we didnt know what was supposed to happen and in what order. At the end of it all, we got a booklet with a copy of the entire ceremony that was used on the wedding day for our memories! Thank you Sandy for everything!!!

Sandy's Wedding Book really helped me put together a wonderful ceremony. She is a consummate professional and a delightful person. She ran the wedding rehearsal and ceremony very smoothly. I recommend her to any bride and groom but particularly to those looking for a non-traditional wedding.

Sandy is awesome!! She is so professional and put together. She cares about people and wants to get to know her bride and groom before the ceremony. We have nothing but positive things to say about her. We had so much autonomy, but could always get her feedback. The day of our wedding was beautiful and she contributed to that. We received so much positive feedback from our guests.

Sandy was fantastic! After meeting with a few prospects for officiants, we had not found the "right" person yet. Sandy was professional, warm, and well-spoken - we booked her at the end of our first meeting. We met with her once more before our wedding day, and she worked with us via email through several drafts of our ceremony, until it was perfect. We were very pleased with her services, and also received many compliments from guests on what a great officiant she was.

Sandra was very professional and sincere. We had a very unresponsive offiicant booked at first and decided to go our separate ways. Sandra was so caring and kind. She understood all of my wacky requests. On the wedding day, she made the ceremony so pleasany even though there was a hiccup with the speakers. She was so pleasant. I would totally recommend her for any wedding ceremony!

My husband and I met with Sandy for the first time and told her exactly what we wanted and what order we wanted our ceremony to flow - and she did just that. We got our rough copy of our vows via email in less than one week after our first meeting. Sandy, is very preciseand gives thoughtful suggestions to suit each couple.

I also purchase some jewerly (bracelets) from her to give to my girls for their gift. The bracelets were spectular and match their dresses perfectly.

Hello,

I found Sandy in our local phonebook and her services were outstanding. I had called around to so many people and no one was available and then I found my Angel (Sandy) and she was ready to go as soon as possible. The ceremony was put together well and we will highly recommend Sandy to anyone.

She was very personable, yet professional. She handled our interfaith wedding well (even with our parents as tense as they were). I received non-stop compliments on her performance of our ceremony. She made me feel very at ease during my big moment and the ceremony was absolutely PERFECT!
