    Stop reading and immediately go book her!

    What can I say about the wonderful Aviva, only that she knocked it out the park! We have been getting so many compliments about our ceremony and the words Aviva put together for us. She will sit and meet with you and get to know you and your significant other and tells you exactly what you have to do. Even though you profread what she’s written it is absolutely magical the way she reads them. She was a beautiful and clear speaker with personality. We are so fortunate and thankful for her!

    most perfect wedding ceremony

    Aviva hand-crafted a custom ceremony for us that fit both of our wishes for how we wanted the ceremony to be. We wanted a non-secular wedding but still included some prayers and blessings that were important to us. Her ceremony was beautiful and really captured our relationship eloquently. We met with her in person once beforehand and then did all of the email correspondence afterwards. We loved her!!

    Rev. Aviva was the absolute best. She explained everything from start to finish. She was the best communicator & officiant. If you are looking for someone, she exceeds expectations. Thank you so much Rev. Aviva for making our ceremony literally perfect!!!

    I wish I could give more than five stars

    We got married on Halloween of 2021. We met with Aviva for a custom ceremony and it was the most beautiful thing we ever heard, our guests keep going in about how much better it was than your typical ceremony. She took our story and tied it into the ceremony so nicely there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Aviva took, what had become quite a stressful occasion for us, and helped us every step of the way and made sure it was perfect. She helped us with photos, we had no clue how to pose, she helped up with ideas for things like the love lock and giving roses to our parents during the ceremony. We could not be happier.

    5 Stars and More

    You'd really be doing yourself a disservice if you do not hire Aviva Sala as your wedding officiant. I cannot tell you how many guests came up to us after the ceremony to say how it was the best ceremony they've ever heard. There was not a dry eye in the house. It was personalized to our relationship and I could not have made a better choice. Working with Aviva was seamless and easy and I could not recommend her more if I tried. Thank you so much for everything.

    Absolutely amazing

    We met with Aviva for a custom ceremony a few months ago and got married on Halloween 2021. From the moment we first met to discuss the ceremony to the second we left our reception Aviva was so helpful and wonderful. She made our day perfect in every way possible. Me and my wife couldn’t be any happier with the outcome and everything she did for us. She listen to us thoroughly and had many wonderful suggestions that shaped into the most beautiful day of our lives. If I could give more than 5 stars I happily would.

    A Perfect Match for Our I Do Re-Do

    We worked with Aviva to write our "I Do Re-do" vow renewal ceremony for our wedding reception that was postponed due to COVID. Aviva was such a pleasure to work with! She was easygoing, flexible when we had some scheduling changes for appointments, and overall just great company. Our guests kept remarking on how beautiful our ceremony was! She is truly a professional, and it shows.

    Anna and Nick's Wedding

    Rev Aviva Sala officiated our wedding and we could not have been happier. She had such a calming demeanor that put us at all at ease. Her words were so touching and meaningful, it was as if she was a part of our lives for a long time even though we just met minutes before. I am not super religious but my in-laws are. Rev Aviva touched all bases which made everyone so happy. My mother in law is still talking about how special and beautiful the ceremony was. It was a perfect day and Rev Aviva was a huge part of that. We recommend her 100%. ❤️

    Amazing ceremony!

    Rev. Aviva Sala was wonderful, professional, and accommodating to work with. She helped us to create a special ceremony with personal vows that truly reflected who we are as a couple. The ceremony was beautiful and we absolutely recommend her!

    Aviva did such a wonderful job officiating our wedding ceremony! We had guests approaching us all night to say that the ceremony was the best they’ve ever seen. And we could not agree more! Her script was beautifully written, personal, funny, and sentimental. We highly recommend her!!!

    Beautiful Ceremony!

    Aviva came highly recommended from one of my friends. She did a wonderful job at walking us through everything in the process. We felt very prepared and even day of she walked us through everything before the ceremony making us feel super comfortable. Our ceremony was so beautifully written and delivered. We highly recommend Aviva!

    Amazing job!

    Aviva was such an incredible officiant! My husband and I cannot say enough amazing things about her. She was on time and prompt, knowledgeable about the procedures both day of and when helping to write our vows, a great communicator through email, as well as kind and funny. She helped our special day run so smoothly.

    My husband and I actually originally hired April Gismondi, who is part of her team. Due to Covid and our wedding being pushed back, April was no longer available, and so we went with Avivia. This turned out to work out for the absolute best. Again, Aviva was a wonderful officiant!

    Extraordinary Officiant

    When a wedding involves Aviva Sala as wedding officiant, I can only say --- WOW, FANTASTIC, AMAZING!!! Aviva Sala officiated our marriage ceremony on July 31, 2021, at the DeSeversky Mansion in Brookville and was the perfect fit for our marriage ceremony! She interviewed us several months before, and at the end she asked us if we would want to see what she would write to say during our ceremony. We said no, because the way she ran our interview and discussion, we had a feeling she would do an amazing job. We were right! Her words and writing were perfect. I wouldn’t have changed one syllable. She mixed the right balance of reverence, solemness and humor during the ceremony. It was clear to both Suliat and I that she not only heard what we said during our interview/discussion, but also saw behind our words; and that gave her ceremony more depth. So, to summarize in a quick phrase, yes, I would very highly recommend using Aviva as your wedding officiant.

    Perfect Day

    Aviva took over as our officiant when we postponed and she didn't miss a beat. She created a smooth well designed ceremony that made people laugh and cry. She was well spoken and had a calming presence. Perfect is the best way to describe he services.

    Wonderful Experience with Rev Aviva!

    Aviva is the best! My daughter's wedding was postponed twice due to Covid and Aviva was incredibly supportive, patient, and flexible in rescheduling each time. As they say the third time's the charm :) She took into account the couple's exact needs and wishes and designed a ceremony that exceeded our expectations and perfectly fit what we all hoped for. Thank you, Aviva! You were a very special part of this very special couple's very special day! We appreciate you so much!

    Amazing Officiant

    Aviva is fantastic and made our ceremony unique and memorable. Aviva wrote us a custom ceremony that fit us perfectly. She added humor to the day and engaged all of our guests. So many guest commented on how great she was. Aviva is an amazing public speaker and delivered the ceremony so well. She even gave us a binder of the entire ceremony which is such a nice keepsake.

    Ah-maz-ing!

    Rev. Aviva Sala = hands down the best officiant out there!! Aviva married my brother & sister in law in 2018 & my fiancé and I both knew right away that we wanted to have her do our ceremony when the time came for us! Since the very beginning, communication with her was a breeze, she is very responsive & informative. She is extremely personable & it felt like we have known her for years. Our meeting with her was filled with laughs & happy tears!

    Since we chose to have the custom ceremony created by Aviva, we had a zoom meeting with her one day back in February so she could get to know all the ins and outs of us individually & as a couple. We elected not to read her creation beforehand so during our ceremony it would be the first time we both heard her lovely & amazing words! IT WAS AMAZING!!! if you get the chance to have a custom ceremony written, please please wait until the big day to read/hear it! you won't regret it one bit, just made everything about the wedding even more special!

    Fantastic Ceremony Thanks to Her

    Aviva was fantastic! About a month before our wedding, we had to find a new officiant and Aviva rose to the challenge. She had no concerns with getting things squared away before our wedding date. We planned to say our own vows and she helped to make sure they stood out the most during the ceremony by suggesting to us that the words she spoke during the ceremony be less about us and more about love, which was so much so the best decision and we thank her for that. She provided ample resources for us to make the words she spoke during the ceremony exactly what we wanted. On the day of the wedding she met with each of us and made sure we understood how things would progress and what our response to our queues should be. She also made sure to point out to us the most important part, that we look at each other during the ceremony and not her because of how natural it is to look at someone when they speak to you. She printed out our personal vows for us and handed them to us during the ceremony so we did not have to worry about bringing them with us and at the end provided us with a lovely little binder, the one she read out of during the ceremony, which contained all of the words she spoke along with our vows. Aviva was wonderful and we could not recommend her enough for your wedding ceremony.

    Aviva is the best!

    There is no one better than Aviva! She really takes pride it what she does, and it shows. She is patient, kind, and really takes time to make sure that she captures you and your fiancé to ensure a beautiful ceremony. She makes sure that your vows are personal, and involves you in the process to change or edit anything before the final revision. I couldn’t imagine having anyone else perform our ceremony. We still have family and friends saying how nice it was. 10/10 would recommend!

    Rev. Aviva is the Best!

    If you're considering hiring Rev. Aviva Sala to officiate your wedding (or any other event, really) - GO FOR IT! She's the absolute best. She makes sure to really get to know you and your fiance, as well as what you want for your wedding and ceremony. With this information, she crafts a beautifully written and deeply personalized ceremony - our family members are STILL talking about how incredible the ceremony was, and that's all thanks to Aviva. Also, our wedding was originally cancelled and then rescheduled and re-planned multiple times due to Covid - Aviva stuck with us through all of the changes. We are beyond grateful for her flexibility. Finally, Aviva also helps with a lot of the little things you might not think about when it comes to getting married (or at least we didn't!) - she'll guide you through the process of getting the license as well as all of the little decisions you'll need to make regarding the actual ceremony. My husband and I could NOT recommend her enough! Thanks again, Aviva!

    Aviva Is Amazing!

    Aviva is one of those people you meet and feel like you have known her all your life, because that is how instantly special she makes you feel. Aviva takes the time to really ask you and your significant other questions that are so unique to you two that you are left with a ceremony that feels so entirely your own. Everyone, and I mean everyone, who attended our wedding kept coming up to my husband and I to tell us how exceptional our ceremony was and that was all thanks to Aviva. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to capture their relationship, spirits, personalities, and love in their ceremony, because Aviva is the woman to do it!

    Trustworthy, responsible, efficient, kind

    Aviva was so patient and kind. My Dad had passed away 11 days before my wedding. She made sure to mention him and help me to stay centered. Our ceremony was intimate, beautiful, and meaningful…. To our 4 daughters and to us, along with every guest there. So glad we did this. Thank you Aviva!

    AMAZING! 10/10 Ceremony

    Aviva was nothing short of amazing. We originally had Aviva booked for our 5/16/20 wedding. Unfortunately, we had to resschedule but Aviva was so great with the changes. We just had her marry us last weekend and the ceremony she wrote was so beautiful.

    We met with Aviva on zoom where she asked us questions about ourselves and our story. She used all this information to create a beautiful and personal ceremony. It felt like she really knew us forever. We received SO many compliments on the ceremony. There was not a dry eye there.

    I could not recommend Aviva enough. If you are thinking about using Aviva, do it! Once you meet her, you'll know you need her to marry you! :)

    Personalized and Memorable Ceremony

    Aviva is amazing to work with! She took the time to meet with us and made our ceremony memorable. She listened to our story and included personalized touches on a remembrance for my mother and on our engagement “I Choose You”. We also loved how she incorporated a rose ceremony for our parents which made their day special as well. Our family enjoyed our ceremony and gave many compliments about Aviva. Aviva has also been very professional, flexible, and understanding when we had to move the location of our ceremony. We highly recommend Aviva. She makes the ceremony beautiful and unforgettable!
