About

Well Played Creative offers interfaith ritual, ceremony, and spiritual care in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and surrounding areas.

Hi, I'm Rev. Sarah Donnell, founder of Well Played Creative, and I'd be honored to infuse your wedding ceremony with some creative spirit. I'm trained as an interfaith chaplain to help folks of any faith--and no faith--tradition in the tasks of navigating major life transitions and meaning-making. Weddings and commitment ceremonies are some of the most joyful spaces to do this!

My work springs from my background as a theatre artist, facilitator, and writer, and I use all of these skillsets when crafting and delivering your unique ceremony. My intentions are:

  • To honor the depth of my clients as whole, highly individual people
  • That even our consultation sessions feel like meaningful experiences leading up to the wedding day
  • To help you share, experience, and grow your own love story in this process
  • To support you so that you can feel connected and present amidst the swirl of activity that comes with weddings
  • To deliver a beautifully rendered and engaging ceremony that leaves everyone present at least a little more in love
  • To hold space for big emotions and big magic--and to keep the show rolling, even if the unexpected arises!

I get that this is a highly personal decision, so I'd love to chat with you a little bit to see if we'd be a good fit. I hope you'll reach out!

A truly perfect ceremony!

Wow - we couldn’t have asked for a better officiant than Sarah! She took the time to get to know us (so well in fact that our guests were surprised we hadn’t known her for years). Her friendly, warm, personal and professional demeanor is amazing - and her sense of humor is a bonus!

She ensured we had an absolutely beautiful ceremony that was such a beautiful representation of us and our love. She made us (and our guests) laugh and cry.

If you’re looking for an officiant that will give you a personalized and heart full ceremony, I Couldn’t recommend her more!

The Most Perfect Ceremony

Sarah was an absolute joy to work with. Every step of the way she helped guide us to craft the most perfect ceremony that was most authentic to us. Sarah is so kind, welcoming, and accommodating which made working with her so easy! We knew after our first initial meeting that she was the one we wanted to officiate our wedding. Highly recommend!

Heartfelt & genuine

Sarah was the best choice as our officiant and the easiest decision we made while wedding planning. She was very supportive of what we knew we wanted and a great help when we got stuck trying to figure out what we wanted said and how we wanted the ceremony to go. She wrote the most beautiful and perfect script for us and she will do the same for you and your partner!

Founder, Officiant

I'm an interfaith chaplain, writer, theatre artist, and facilitator based in Chapel Hill, NC. One of the big reasons I wanted to get ordained was because I felt called to officiate weddings! Most of us don't get many moments of ritual in our lives anymore, so I think we have to make the most of marking a major moment like this. I consider it such a privilege to journey alongside couples as they take this step.
