My husband found Sarah while looking for officiants and I am so glad he did! We had such a smooth and fun experience working with Sarah to make our wedding ceremony the best it could be. She made the process of bringing together the ceremony so easy and it was clear she put so much thought into the ceremony script. After the ceremony, my mom came up to me and (unprompted) said if Sarah lived in the same town as her, my mom was certain they would be friends because Sarah brought so much warmth to our ceremony. People have been asking me what my favorite part about my wedding day was and hands down my answer has been the same every time. It's the ceremony. I am so thankful for Sarah for capturing my husband and I's relationship and creating such a beautiful ceremony! Definitely recommend!

I literally am posting a positive review on every page that I can (google, weddingwire, and theknot) because everyone looking for an officiant needs to know how great Sarah is!

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!

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!

I don’t even know where to start! Sarah is AMAZING. When I tell you that she was made for this job- I mean it! She made everything so seamless. It was so much fun to do all of the questionnaires leading up to the wedding day. She truly wants to get to know you as a couple. Having Sarah as our officiant was the most exciting thing about our wedding day besides the getting married part!
Do yourself a favor and book her while you’re able to!!!!

Sarah is so sweet. She is everything she says she is on her site. She’s kind, warm and really just makes you feel like you’re best friends. We met her on very short notice as a recommendation from our event planner. She did not disappoint. I am a timid and shy person, but she made me feel comfortable and calm. Sarah is highly recommended by us! Couldn’t be happier.

Working with Sincerely Pete is truly a great choice. Sarah will put you at ease, calm your fears, and make the entire wedding planning and execution process seem comparatively effortless. That's high praise coming from a couple with little wedding savvy, decision paralysis, and a tendency to research everything to death. Sarah took the time to understand us, helped us decide what traditions made sense, and suggested unique twists to make things personal. She told us where our wish list didn't make sense (one food truck for 80 guests) but came up with even better alternatives to maintain our look/feel (pop-up food stations throughout the evening). She helped us narrow our choices, kept us on track, and made spot-on vendor recommendations each time. The day of our wedding, we had nothing to do but fully experience the events and emotions. No stress, no last-minute details... Sarah had it all under control. She even helped button my dress. It was perfect!

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

When my husband and I first reached out to Sarah Pete, we were panicked: We had just parted ways with the original wedding planner that we hired and we weren’t sure we were going to be able to find another one before our big day. From the first phone call with SP to the end of our wedding day, panic was never again an emotion that we felt.

We are very happy that we hired Sarah Pete to be our wedding planner. Not only is SP’s energy amazing, but she is extremely creative and is so fun to work with. Throughout the planning process, I felt more like I was planning with a friend than my wedding planner. This, combined with her business-first attitude to getting things done, made us feel very comfortable working with her on items both big and small.

We got married in my hometown of Sun Valley, Idaho which is pretty slow-paced. Despite the challenges of dealing with vendors from a small town, Sarah Pete navigated conversations and issues beautifully. My florist, for example, didn’t use email and barely texted. Sarah Pete somehow still figured out a way to work with him beautifully and produce an escort card board that was 100% what I envisioned. I am pretty sure they are still friends to do this day as well :).

On the wedding day itself, Sarah Pete also had all the big and small stuff handled as well. From being there to make sure my veil was perfect to making sure my husband didn’t step in deer poop (!) during sunset photos to helping me handle a dress emergency at the end of the night, Sarah Pete was there to make us feel calm, but more importantly make sure we had the time of our life. At this point it is such a cliche, but I can honestly say that my wedding day was the best day of my life and Sarah Pete truly helped make that a reality.

So to summarize, If you’re looking for a fun wedding planner that can truly get shit done, hire Sarah Pete!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Sarah! We planned our wedding (140 guests, 10 person bridal party) in about a year. During our first meeting, she gave us a general timeline of what to expect over the course of planning the wedding, and deadlines we should meet. My fiance and I had a baby 10 months before our wedding date, and even with all the craziness that comes with a new baby, I never felt stressed out or overwhelmed with planning the wedding. When the day arrived, everything was even better than I expected. She was even present at the hotel where the bridal party was getting ready before she headed to the venue to set up. At the end of the reception, she took our wedding gifts to the hotel for us so we could head right to the after party. I definitely recommend Sincerely Pete for planning your wedding!

Sincerely Pete helped make sure that our wedding day went perfectly! We worked with Sarah for the full planning package. We had already secured our venue (Long View Gallery) but she helped us navigate the vendor process and made great suggestions so that we found the right partners for our budget and wishes. She helped us realize our vision, and gave us helpful ideas and suggestions when we weren’t sure on a few decisions. She was amazing at dealing with vendors and making sure that they were meeting our needs within our budget. On the day of our wedding she made sure we were on schedule and that everyone was where they needed to be when they needed to be there. She handled a few curveballs, solving them without bringing us in so as not to take away from where our attention should be. During the planning phase, she was amazing at working with us through stressful moments and putting us at ease, either by reassuring us or handling something for us. On top of all of this, she is a total pleasure to work with. She brings a true passion to her work that comes through...sincerely! We loved working with her, and were so so happy with how well she helped us celebrate the best day of our lives! We highly recommend her and know that you will be happy if you work with her.
