Helped us craft an amazing meaningful ceremony!
Sandra was the perfect officiant for us. After our first conversation, we knew we didn’t need to look any further. Sandra’s skills as an Interfaith Minister helped us navigate some concerns we had about our ceremony. And after filling out her questionnaire and discussing our vision with her, she wove together our ideas into a truly unique and meaningful ceremony. Everyone had such good things to say about our ceremony afterwards! She was very open to our edits throughout the planning process, and during the big day, she was a very grounding presence for everyone involved and led us through the ceremony beautifully. She held the space well, took her time and encouraged us to do the same and take in the moment.
Most importantly, she helped turn a far-fetched idea that my wife had into reality. My wife had written song lyrics and a melody that she was sure could not be woven into the ceremony, but Sandra connected us with a songwriter friend of hers and we worked with that friend to record an original song. It was so special to hear the song played as she walked down the aisle. That wouldn’t have happened without Sandra’s help, and we are so grateful we connected. Thank you Sandra!

Wonderful!
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Sandra Bargman as our officiant for our small, 30-person wedding in the Catskills, and we can’t recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, Sandra took the time to really get to know us - through multiple Zoom calls, thoughtful questions, and ongoing communication. She was incredibly responsive and genuinely invested in creating a ceremony that felt personal, meaningful, and true to us.
The ceremony she crafted was absolutely beautiful - warm, heartfelt, and filled with intention. It struck the perfect balance between emotional and lighthearted, and so many of our guests commented afterward on how special and unique it felt. Sandra brought such a calming, grounding presence to the day, and it was clear how much care and experience she brings to every couple she works with.
If you’re looking for an officiant who will truly honor your story and help create a ceremony that reflects who you are as a couple, Sandra is a wonderful choice. We’re so grateful she was part of our day.

Sandra is truly amazing!
We were incredibly fortunate to have Sandra as the officiant for our wedding. From the very first meeting, she was sweet, kind, and genuinely understanding of who we are as individuals and as a couple. Her warm and compassionate nature made us feel immediately at ease, and we developed a great connection with her.
Sandra took the time to get to know us, listening to our stories and understanding our unique journey. Her ability to capture the essence of our relationship and incorporate it into the ceremony was truly remarkable. She created a personalized and heartfelt ceremony that was a perfect reflection of our love and commitment to each other.
On the day of the wedding, Sandra was professional, calming, and reassuring. She guided us through the ceremony with grace and warmth, making the experience unforgettable for us and our guests. Her presence added an extra layer of joy and meaning to our special day.
We are forever grateful to Sandra and for her exceptional service and for making our wedding day so memorable. We highly recommend her to any couple looking for an officiant who is not only efficient and professional but also deeply caring and understanding.

Wedding in the Catskills
Reverend Sandra Bargman was our first pick to be the minister at our wedding. We loved the way she took time to fully grasp what we wanted for our wedding ceremony and delivered it ten fold!
Her presence was calming and reassuring to us from the moment we started creating the ceremony to the moment we walked back down the aisle happily married! The words that she artfully wove together painted a beautiful picture of our love for one another and was not only heartfelt and beautifully spoken, but captured the essence of our relationship perfectly. She created a warm and inclusive atmosphere, making everyone feel connected and involved. Her genuine passion for her role was evident, and her ability to deliver a ceremony that was both personal and meaningful was truly remarkable. We are forever grateful for her guidance and support in making our wedding day so special.
XOXO,
Elizabeth & Jordan

Amazing Celebrant
Simply the best! Sandra was great to work with from beginning to end. For first timers like us, it was nice to have a guide who understood our vision and worked with us to make it happen. The ceremony itself was beautifully arranged and executed, tying in all the little threads we had talked about on our many zoom calls in the months leading up to the big day.
Highly highly recommend. We miss her already!

Big wedding feel
My wife & I had the pleasure of getting married in this beautiful venue called the Plum. We were lucky enough to win this wedding package from a radio station and from the moment we won and spoke to Sandra we knew this was going to be the most perfect wedding for us. If your looking for a big wedding feel in a small wedding Sandra and the Plum is for you. Sandra made sure to include every minor detail from our conversation over zoom. The Plum is a very private beautiful venue with lots of charm. You have to see the property in person to really get the whole picture. My wife and I were considering going to the courthouse and we are definitely happy we chose this route the courthouse instead. We highly recommend Sandra and the Plum you will not regret it.

The Most Magical Ceremony
My husband and I could not be more thankful for Sandra. Since I was brought up Jewish and my husband Catholic, the officiant topic was not an easy part of our wedding planning. We were lucky that Sandra was available and helped us only one month before our wedding date. She was the perfect person to orchestrate our service, meeting with us for several zoom calls and making sure we were comfortable with what was being said at the ceremony. Everyone in the audience said she was magnificent and her voice was the most calming and romantic. I highly recommend working with Sandra for your wedding ceremony!

5 stars are not enough
Sandra was the PERFECT officiant for our wedding!! She helped us create an incredibly special ceremony that felt unique to us, balancing heartfelt, emotional moments with joy and celebration. Our families absolutely LOVED Sandra and so many of our guests have repeatedly told us how beautiful and personal our ceremony was. I am not exaggerating when I say our family and friends are still telling us how amazing Sandra is. Our wedding day was going to be incredible no matter what, but Sandra helped make it beyond perfect.
At first, we were a bit anxious about finding an officiant – I was a little hesitant to work with someone new to both of us. But Sandra was recommended to us by the owner of The Inn at West Settlement, and we are extremely glad that she was. We knew immediately during our first consultation that we wanted to work with Sandra because of her palpable warm, welcoming energy. Sandra took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple (which is not easy through a computer screen!). Sandra guided us through the process of determining what we envisioned for our ceremony to make sure it was exactly what we wanted. It was effortless and we completely trusted her guidance as we collaborated with her.
Sandra was such an integral part of our day, and we are so grateful to her. I specifically was extremely touched by her grace and empathy. I experienced a tremendous amount of personal loss this year and it was important to me to acknowledge and honor my family while also celebrate the beginning of our new family. She provided such a comforting and enthusiastic presence on our special day. It was a pleasure to work with Sandra and we would give her 10 stars if we could!!!!
