Sara helped us to design a ritual to mark our wedding anniversary. We couldn't have dreamed of a better person to help us—she was so open-minded, wise, and intentional. When we came to Sara, all we knew was that we wanted to do something to mark the day—fuss-free and intimate. But we were totally unsure as to what do. During our consultation, Sara took our concerns seriously, and she sparked our imaginations by asking us questions we would have never have thought of—about us as a couple, about places that are special to us. Before our consultation we were so anxious, and we left it so excited, and came away from the meeting with so much more clarity.
Sara helped us plan an anniversary ritual where we went to our favourite park at sunrise, where we hung out and then read some really special vows she has written for us. Sara took the time to really get to know us, and tailored the ritual perfectly to us. She was so thoughtful and nonjudgmental, and she has a talent for making rituals feel unique and special. We felt so lucky to have her guidance. A day that could have just passed us by turned into a special, fun occasion. And it's started a tradition for us—we plan on repeating the ritual Sara designed for us every year. I would recommend Sara to anyone looking to mark an important moment in their lives but unsure of how to do it! Our experience was so positive that when my husband was asked to officiate a wedding, he went to Sara for her consulting assistance.

Sacred, Unconventional, and Perfect
My husband and I wanted to do a small, no-frills, down-to-earth backyard ceremony a few months after we got engaged -- a ceremony that would be for just us and a few friends before "The Big Wedding" the next year. Sara worked with us to figure out what we wanted the feel of the ceremony to be, rolled with me wanting to do an impromptu ancestor ritual before the ceremony, and created a beautiful liturgy to bring the two of us (who come from different faith and cultural backgrounds -- Hindu and Christian) together in marriage. She drew on the ancestors and the feminine divine to bring us together in a truly sacred little ceremony. (Followed by s'mores and backyard dancing!) And she did it all with her characteristic humility, grace, tenderness, wisdom, and love. Sara is simply the best. She listens well, cares deeply about what you want and need, and puts so much heart and thought into the work she does, down to every detail. We would 100% recommend her for any and all ceremonial needs.

Team of Vestal Ceremonies
Sara Vesta
Owner
I became a ceremony expert because I know from experience that a one-size-fits-all approach to meaning-making does not serve everyone. People are far too interesting to fit into a mold! For example, I am a 1st generation American with a spiritual identity ranging from contemplative Christianity to eclectic paganism. That is why I studied Theology at Harvard Divinity School, became a Certified Life-Cycle Celebrant, and was ordained as a UBM Interfaith Minister. It is my joy & my job to discern what matters to you and to bring it to life through the structure of an unforgettable ceremony.
