Happy Couple Satisfied with Experience

We used Sincerely Pete to help create a script for our ceremony, officiated by a friend. Sarah was super helpful throughout the whole process and had tons of examples for us to use as inspiration for our ceremony and vows. She also met personally with our friend/officiant to go over the ceremony and give guidance on the do's and don't's of officiating. Sarah was super responsive to any questions and even offered feedback on our vows. Overall, great experience - you can't go wrong with Sarah - she made the process a breeze!

The goal of our wedding process was to make it easy and enjoyable. Both working in events for our day to day jobs, we didn't want to feel like it was just another day "at the office" for either one of us. We picked a venue and set a date. We knew what we wanted and were proactively making decisions with no doubt in our minds. The BEST decision we ended up making was hiring Sincerely Pete Events. Sarah was ALWAYS there when we needed her and within arms reach to support us on tasks we wanted to take care of on our own. We traveled from DC to Buffalo for our big day and things quickly became different than what we were accustomed to in the events world of DC. Without panicking, Sarah managed our vendors (some great, some difficult) and ensured that we well taken care of in the process. No detail was too small and no task was too large. Sarah did her research on our hometown and was enthusiastic, yet realistic about our choices along the way. I know everyone says this BUT we constantly have people telling us how it was the BEST wedding they have ever attended. And I know I certainly may be bias in my agreement however, when you have a large community of event savvy guests in attendance, you trust that feedback. If you want to hire someone who is in the business of making worthwhile connections, respecting what matters most and making you feel important and special above all else, Sincerely Pete Events is the perfect choice. THANK YOU SARAH FOR ALL YOU DID TO MAKE OUR DAY BOTH EASY AND ENJOYABLE! XO M+N

July 2024 Wedding

My husband and I got married in Virginia in July 2024. Sarah, our wedding officiant, was absolutely extraordinary! From our initial meeting to the ceremony, she exuded warmth, professionalism, and a genuine passion for her role. She crafted a personalized, heartfelt ceremony that perfectly captured our love story and resonated with our guests. Her eloquence and thoughtful guidance made the entire process seamless and stress-free. On the day, she delivered a memorable ceremony with grace and charm, creating a meaningful experience for everyone. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to make our wedding day so special. Highly recommend Sincerely Pete for anyone seeking an unforgettable and personalized ceremony!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
