About

Congratulations, happy couples! Your wedding ceremony should be all about you, and have your personalities shine throughout your ceremony. I have worked with couples who prefer everything from traditional styles to those who consider themselves to be fun and out-of-the-box. Wedding ceremonies can range from religious to spiritual to secular... Whatever you choose, I promise that your ceremony will be serious in the right moments, light-hearted in others, yet warm and heart-felt throughout. There are many pre-written ceremonies to select or mix-and-match, or you can opt for me to write a personalized, custom ceremony that spins your love story into your ceremony, from opening words to the closing pronouncement. It's all up to you! Tell me how you envision your day, and together we will bring it to life! Let's create a meaningful experience not just for you, but for your guests as well.

I was trained and ordained by Pastor April Gismondi, of the Church of Ancient Ways. I am also a Clinical Social Worker. My professional and life experience give me the ability to tap into people's thoughts and feelings about this spectacular milestone in life and find the words to describe them. It's my job to weave your words and story into a lovely sentiment that you and your guests will remember.

I also offer pre and post marital counseling, which is insurance reimbursable.

Reviews of Aviva Sala - Wedding Officiant

Eloquent, soothing, and memorable.

Aviva Sala made our wedding better for officiating it. I would highly recommend choosing her if you're looking for a calming soul with a wonderful voice who will craft a perfect speech that fully reflects the personalities of you and your partner.
Multiple people at our wedding asked us how we knew Aviva, since she seemed to know us so well and we were so confident around her. That is her superpower.
I should also mention that beyond her officiating duties, she also was coordinating with other vendors to make sure the music, the vendor, and everyone were on the same page for the ceremony to go off without a hitch. Aviva said "I got this," and she absolutely did. That is such a gift on an otherwise chaotic day, do yourself a favor and bring Aviva aboard.

most perfect wedding ceremony

Aviva hand-crafted a custom ceremony for us that fit both of our wishes for how we wanted the ceremony to be. We wanted a non-secular wedding but still included some prayers and blessings that were important to us. Her ceremony was beautiful and really captured our relationship eloquently. We met with her in person once beforehand and then did all of the email correspondence afterwards. We loved her!!

Aviva was amazing!

Rev. Aviva was the absolute best. She explained everything from start to finish. She was the best communicator & officiant. If you are looking for someone, she exceeds expectations. Thank you so much Rev. Aviva for making our ceremony literally perfect!!!

Stop reading and immediately go book her!

What can I say about the wonderful Aviva, only that she knocked it out the park! We have been getting so many compliments about our ceremony and the words Aviva put together for us. She will sit and meet with you and get to know you and your significant other and tells you exactly what you have to do. Even though you profread what she’s written it is absolutely magical the way she reads them. She was a beautiful and clear speaker with personality. We are so fortunate and thankful for her!

Wonderful Experience with Rev Aviva!

Aviva is the best! My daughter's wedding was postponed twice due to Covid and Aviva was incredibly supportive, patient, and flexible in rescheduling each time. As they say the third time's the charm :) She took into account the couple's exact needs and wishes and designed a ceremony that exceeded our expectations and perfectly fit what we all hoped for. Thank you, Aviva! You were a very special part of this very special couple's very special day! We appreciate you so much!

Beautiful Ceremony!

Aviva came highly recommended from one of my friends. She did a wonderful job at walking us through everything in the process. We felt very prepared and even day of she walked us through everything before the ceremony making us feel super comfortable. Our ceremony was so beautifully written and delivered. We highly recommend Aviva!

5 Stars and More

You'd really be doing yourself a disservice if you do not hire Aviva Sala as your wedding officiant. I cannot tell you how many guests came up to us after the ceremony to say how it was the best ceremony they've ever heard. There was not a dry eye in the house. It was personalized to our relationship and I could not have made a better choice. Working with Aviva was seamless and easy and I could not recommend her more if I tried. Thank you so much for everything.

A Perfect Match for Our I Do Re-Do

We worked with Aviva to write our "I Do Re-do" vow renewal ceremony for our wedding reception that was postponed due to COVID. Aviva was such a pleasure to work with! She was easygoing, flexible when we had some scheduling changes for appointments, and overall just great company. Our guests kept remarking on how beautiful our ceremony was! She is truly a professional, and it shows.

Anna and Nick's Wedding

Rev Aviva Sala officiated our wedding and we could not have been happier. She had such a calming demeanor that put us at all at ease. Her words were so touching and meaningful, it was as if she was a part of our lives for a long time even though we just met minutes before. I am not super religious but my in-laws are. Rev Aviva touched all bases which made everyone so happy. My mother in law is still talking about how special and beautiful the ceremony was. It was a perfect day and Rev Aviva was a huge part of that. We recommend her 100%. ❤️
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
