About

Hello, Rationalists, Humanists, Agnostics, Atheists, Pastafarians and other Freethinkers! I'm Sasha (she/they), your friendly neighborhood atheist, and I've been marrying folks since 2002. My clients love my custom ceremony creation process, which offers both guidance and imaginative freedom as we co-create your one-of-a-kind ceremony script. I work exclusively with people who want a secular ceremony, including interfaith couples compromising on a religion-free wedding, folks who describe themselves as "spiritual, but not really religious," or Atheists with a capital "A." Your ceremony will reflect your unique beliefs, personalities, and quirks, and your guests will feel included in something special.


I'm a huge nerd, and I love working with folks who want to do something different that really feels like *them* in their wedding ceremony. I've married people in best friends double weddings, on a gondola, in a hot air balloon, in costume, and help folks delight and surprise their guests with all manner of silliness and whimsy.....without descending into cheeseball comedy-hour shenanigans (unless that is your jam, in which case GAME ON.) It's your wedding day, so my job is to help YOU shine....and luckily, that is my specialty.

Of course, Agnostic Weddings is inclusive, supportive, and affirming of the LGBTQIA+ community in all of our spectacular diversity!

Agnostic Weddings serves all of California. Please reach out to request your free consultation so that we can talk about your vision - I am committed to helping your wedding dreams come true!

Yours in Reason,
Sasha

A fantastic officiant

There are some wedding vendors where you book them and think "fingers crossed, hope they're good" and then there are other wedding vendors where you book them and think "100% best decision ever, this is going to be awesome!" Sasha is 100% one of the latter. We reached out to chat with her, and had an hour long Zoom consultation with her. She was so easy to talk to, made an effort to get to know us, and totally got what we were going for. My husband and I are non-religious nerds and wanted our wedding ceremony to feel like "us" - meaningful and heartfelt, but without any overly spiritual references we couldn't identify with. Sasha's process for customizing our ceremony was really great, and we really appreciated her review of our vows before hand. Our wedding ceremony was perfect. She tried to help us keep our minds off our nerves before the ceremony. It was kind of a blur from our end, but our friends and family loved it - one of our friends even commented that Sasha could be on NPR, which I think is one of the highest compliments possible. She also handled the mailing of our marriage license which was much appreciated - just one less thing to worry about! Sasha was well worth every penny!

Sasha is the best!

We hired Sasha as the officiant for our wedding on 8/20/2022. She spent a lot of time getting to know us so she could personalize the ceremony to match our personalities. She also outlined exactly how the planning process and ceremony was going to go, which was reassuring since we were not sure what we wanted for the ceremony initially. She had some great ideas that helped us plan everything out, and the script we came up with was absolutely perfect. We even included in a few jokes! We got so many compliments on how much the ceremony fit us as a couple. We were very happy working with Sasha and would definitely recommend her. Thanks again!

Sasha is perfection!

We used Sasha for our wedding back in Sept 2021. It was a super intimate small wedding (20 people) and we were planning on just jumping on the sand for the ceremony. We decided to go with Sasha because we are both non-religious and wanted family to enjoy the day with no pressure to perform.

We met with Sasha (meet and greet via zoom since we are in the Bay Area, wedding in Orange County), hammered out a script, and she helped us out with vows as well. Unfortunately day-of she had a potential covid exposure, and we decided for the safety of our guests to not have her come. However, Sasha dropped by for a no-contact drop off of the script (in a nice keepsake book) so an ordained family member attending could step in, and even called a few days later to check in. Sasha went above and beyond and I could not be happier with how things turned out even with a pivoted plan. Thank you Sasha!

Sasha Really Impressed Us and Our Guests

This review is long overdue. Our wedding date was July 3, 2021, so we contacted Sasha in May 2021 to see if she was still officiating weddings in our new pandemic reality. Sasha confirmed that she was, so we met with her to get a feel for how she would work out as an officiant. Meeting and getting to know Sasha not only confirmed that she was the right officiant, but also put us at ease about our then-upcoming wedding. It was obvious that Sasha was practiced and experienced, and she understood that we wanted a ceremony that wasn't religious, but still conveyed weight and emotion. She had tons of templates for each of the portions of the script, and that made it really easy for use to create a foundational script that fit what my wife and I wanted to convey (the significance of love and mindfulness, among other things), and then tweak it a little to be perfectly individual to us. Sasha's organized process was great and made it so that we had one less thing to worry about on the big day. Of course, on our wedding day, Sasha got rave reviews from our guests, whether they were religious or not. Multiple guests approached me after the ceremony to tell me how much they loved her delivery and how she made the ceremony seem so meaningful. I, of course, appreciated that she kept our parts simple, because we were both as nervous as could be. Overall, my wife and I could not be happier that we chose Sasha to be a part of our wedding.

Wonderful Officiant

Sasha was a pleasure to work with and created a truly individualized ceremony. She is very professional and made it easy to choose the details of our ceremony. She made it feel intimate and joyful. From the initial consultation, to planning, to preparing us on the wedding day and conducting the ceremony, she was a calming and positive presence. We couldn't have been happier!

Fantastic!

Sasha is an INCREDIBLE wedding planner. She assisted with my husband’s and my wedding, and was helpful every step of the way. Not only is she organized and professional, but understanding and accommodating. Without her, I don’t think or wedding would have turned out as lovely as it did.

What can we say? Sasha made our wedding so special! Her unique and pleasant voice was admired and complimented by many of our guests. We sought her out after witnessing her professionalism and beautiful delivery at our friend's wedding. She was there from A-Z for our entire wedding process and was very effective also in keeping us on track with our vows. Because she was so organized, she made us feel at ease which made us have one less item to worry about. She arrived on time the day of and made sure we were cared for after the wedding with the marriage license. We highly recommend her if you are looking for an officiant!

Sasha was absolutely perfect from our first phone call to the ceremony on our wedding day. My husband and I had a long engagement and we both knew the first thing on our to-do wedding list was to find an officiant who would honor our values without being religious. The first meeting was in Sasha’s home and we immediately felt we made the right choice. Sasha just shines with joy and has a calming presence. Sasha was so patient with our several rounds of edits and additions, and gave great feedback on our vows. I can’t believe how affordable her rates are given the time and energy she spends in customizing each ceremony script. Sasha put us at ease on the wedding day (5/28/17) and we received great compliments from our guests on how wonderful the ceremony and Sasha was. I cannot recommend Sasha more highly to couples looking for the best officiant!

My wife and I are not religious but still wanted to have a meaningful wedding ceremony. We looked for wedding officiants that understood and had experience marrying couples like us. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding. Sasha is a thoughtful and responsive professional and a wonderful speaker. From the beginning of the process of planning our wedding Sasha worked with us to make our ceremony our own, both by incorporating our wants and ideas and by suggesting improvements and new ideas based on her own experience. And she had so many great ideas. She always responded quickly to our questions and concerns. She organized the entire ceremony and made the process almost effortless on our part. On the day of our wedding Sasha kept us calm and in the moment. She led a heartfelt and joyous ceremony, and many of our guests commented to us about how much they enjoyed Sasha and the ceremony. We are so thankful to have had Sasha as our officiant and give her our strongest possible endorsement. Thank you Sasha!

To my wife and me, the most important part of our wedding day was the ceremony and ours was incredible because of Sasha! She personalized our ceremony script to exactly how we wanted it. We are not religious and wanted our ceremony to focus on our love for each other. Sasha helped us write our own vows and she made sure they were aligned in tone, length, humor, etc. On the day of the wedding her calming presence was much welcomed. She made my wife and I feel comfortable with no surprises. We received many compliments from our guests after the ceremony. We will be recommending Sasha to all of our friends and family!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Sasha is a total pro. She makes her clients feel heard and respected - many times my Bride remarked to me "She really just "gets" us"! She is calm and warm, and her ceremony delivery was pitch-perfect. I would recommend Sasha to anyone without hesitation.
