    The Best Officiant Ever!

    Sara is the absolute best and sweetest person to work with! From our very first meeting with her she made my husband and I feel so comfortable, relaxed and excited for her to be a big part of our day. She was very thorough and informative when asking us what type of ceremony we wanted, what we wanted included and was very wiling to help us make decisions we were unsure about. She took the time to learn about us as a couple and did a wonderful job incorporating our story into our ceremony. After the ceremony and for days afterwards we had guests compliment us on how beautiful our ceremony was and how there was not one dry eye in the crowd. Even the men who I'd never expect to squeak a tear was brought to tears thanks to Sara. People told us things like, "I've been to many weddings ceremonies and this was by far the best, your officiant was great!" I had family members and friends asking me how and where I found Sara. You can tell she truly cares about what she does and it is as special for her as it is for you. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant for their big day, you wont regret it!

    Ceremonies from the Heart's reply:


    Mariah, I want to thank you so very much for taking the time to write such an absolutely stellar review about me on Wedding Wire! I also want to thank you and Conor for choosing me to be your wedding officiant! I loved being a part of your lovely and most beautiful wedding as your wedding officiant! And, what a glorious wedding day you had…the perfect autumn day surrounded by nature and your family and friends in beautiful Baird Park
    My best wishes are with you and Conor. I wish you a great and glorious journey through life together as husband and wife filled with love and happiness.
    Kindest regards, blessings, and best wishes,
    Reverend Sara

    Heartfelt Ceremony

    Sara was the officiant at my husband and I's wedding this past October and I cannot adequately express just how great she was. She was an incredible listener and made the most beautiful ceremony for us and our guests. She was professional, timely, and extremely kind and I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you for everything Sara!

    Ceremonies from the Heart's reply:

    As I mentioned to you previously, your wedding was exquisitely beautiful!! And, you and Matt were truly such a beautiful bride and bridegroom! It was a joy and an honor for me to be your wedding officiant!

    Meaningful and beautiful

    Awesome & Lovely Time

    Working with Sara was possibly one of the easiest parts of our wedding. She is incredibly flexible and willing to hear out your needs to make sure your wedding ceremony is exactly what you're looking for. This is both before and on your big day. She gave us an amazing ceremony to remember for life. Sara is simply an awesome and lovely person to work and talk with. Definitely recommend working with her.

    Ceremonies from the Heart's reply:

    John, thank you so much for taking the time to not only post a fantastic review about me on Wedding Wire but also for emailing me directly to express your appreciation!
    It was a great pleasure working with you and Chloe and having the honor of officiating your marriage at the TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut.
    Much gratitude to you and Chloe for choosing me to be your officiant!
    My best wishes are with you and Chloe. I wish you a great and glorious journey through life together as husband and wife filled with love and happiness.
    Kindest regards, blessings, and best wishes to you and Chloe.

    Rev. Sara Was the Perfect Fit for Our Wedding - and She Will Be For Yours Too!

    When my now-husband and I were left without an officiant less than one month before our wedding due to a family member who was supposed to marry us unable to travel due to COVID restrictions, I went into full panic mode trying to find an officiant. After turning to Google and reaching out to several options in the area, Sara was quick to respond, sent along some information and set up an introductory call with me. She and I had a very brief phone conversation that immediately put me at ease; I knew right off that she was the one. That weekend, we set up a Zoom call so my then fiancé could meet her, and spent nearly an hour chatting about our background, how we met, what we both envisioned the ceremony to look like, and getting to know her a bit. As soon as we ended the call, we both knew she was the perfect fit for us.

    Sara worked hard with us to craft the perfect ceremony that we wanted, and it was clear to us that she never uses a standard template to just “get the job done.” I was looking for something meaningful and while on the spiritual side, less religious. My now-husband was looking for something much more religious. Sara pulled a few previous ceremonies that she had performed that she thought could be a fit, as well as some specific reading ideas and access to her full library of readings. Forget spending time looking of passages online - if you work with her - she provides you with EVERYTHING you could ever need! In addition to the readings and more cut and dry aspects of the ceremony (which she helped us balance out beautifully to fit what we were both looking for in terms of religious vs. spiritual), what really struck us about working with Sara was her desire to make it as personal as possible, despite not really knowing us. She gave us the idea to provide her with our “love story” - details of what we love about one another and our relationship - which were kept private until she read them during the ceremony. She also gave us some wonderful ideas to pay tribute to my late father-in-law, as well as our parents, and friend and family that were both present and tuning in via Zoom. She was warm, funny, loving and just perfect, and the hard work that she put into making this piece of our wedding absolutely perfect was clearly so important to her and over-the-moon appreciated by us!

    They say everything happens for a reason, and while we were disappointed initially our original plans did not work out for the officiant, it truly was meant to be that Sara was the one with us on our special day.

    Ceremonies from the Heart's reply:

    Hello Shelley,
    In your lovely testimonial you said, “they say everything happens for a reason and it truly was meant to be that Sara was the one with us on our special day.” This also reflects my sentiments about you and Stephen! I knew from our initial ZOOM chat that I was going to love working with you both and indeed, my intuition was 100% right-on! Our special connection was truly meant to be!
    Much gratitude to you for your lovely and amazing review about me on Wedding Wire. It was a great pleasure working with you and Stephen and deeply rewarding to me to hear that I created a beautiful, memorable, meaningful experience for you. Thank you so very much for taking the time to express such a lovely testimonial of gratitude to me on Wedding Wire.
    It was truly delightful to go through the process of planning your ceremony with you and Stephen and a great joy officiating your marriage on your wedding day! What a perfectly beautiful, elegant, spectacular wedding you had surrounded by the love of your intimate gathering of family and friends at The Inn at Graybarns in Norwalk, Ct! And the two of you were simply radiant with your love for each other as you pledged your vows!
    You and Stephen seem so absolutely perfect for each other, and I will always remember the joy I felt joining you in marriage!
    My blessings, and best wishes are with you and Stephen! May your journey through life as husband and wife be a great and glorious journey filled with love and joy!

    Our Ceremony was Meaningful and Beautiful

    If you want a beautiful and heartfelt ceremony, Rev. Sara is your person! I told her we wanted to renew our vows in Central Park to commemorate our 30th anniversary. Rev. Sara helped me identify the perfect location and apply for the permit. She is open to creating the ceremony that works for you according to your tastes. It could be spiritual, nondenominational, traditional, or unconventional. The most important part is that it will be tailored to you so that it is meaningful to you and your partner. She will help you make your special day unforgettable!

    Ceremonies from the Heart's reply:

    Hello Beatriz,
    This email is filled with gratitude... First, I want to thank you so very much for the photos and for giving me permission to post them. They are beautiful! I will post them on my Facebook Page and website as well and will let you know when they are posted so that you can take a look. Secondly, I want to express my deep gratitude to you for the absolutely lovely review you have written about me on Wedding Wire! Reviews are indeed very important to me. Also, of great importance is knowing I have created a beautiful, memorable, meaningful experience for couples. Meeting you and Ed will continue to be a most special memory to me. I postal mailed the special copy of your ceremony and the certificate of vow renewals to you yesterday, so I expect you will probably receive them by the end of the week.
    We will keep in touch for sure.
    Wishing you and Ed the very best,
    Sara

    Perfect Wedding Ceremony!

    Sara was absolutely wonderful to work with and helped us create exactly the wedding ceremony we hoped for. She had great ideas and resources, helped us put the ceremony together, and was so thoughtful and easy to work with through the whole process. The result - several of our guests remarking that it was among the best ceremonies they'd experienced, and even more, that the ceremony was very "us" - I think a credit to Sara in helping us create that unique experience for our day. We'd highly recommend Sara for your wedding ceremony!

    Ceremonies from the Heart's reply:

    Kate,
    You so kindly said in your testimonial that I was “absolutely wonderful to work with” and this is exactly how I felt about working with you and Jim! It was an absolute pleasure not only working with you in the planning of your ceremony but having the honor and joy of officiating your marriage amidst the grace and beauty of Locust Grove in Poughkeepsie on that beautiful October evening!!
    So much gratitude to you and Jim for not only choosing me to be your wedding officiant but also for the kind and thoughtful review you wrote about your wedding experience with me. Your wedding was a most joy-filled experience not only for me but for all of those present.
    May your lives together as husband and wife be filled with all of life's blessings and love's joys.
    Kindest regards and best wishes,
    Reverend Sara

    Sara is an amazing officiant!

    Sara was so great to work with. Leading up to our wedding, we communicated via zoom and email what we envisioned for our ceremony and she also sent us great samples of how the ceremony would go. We agreed on a final draft so we knew what to expect during the ceremony, but Sara added her own amazing touches which were really special to us. We had many wedding guests come up to us after the ceremony saying how much they loved it! I'd highly recommend couples looking for an officiant to hire Sara :)

    Ceremonies from the Heart's reply:

    Brigid,
    Thank you so very much for your lovely thoughtful review about your wedding experience with me! I had a most delightful experience with you and Dan, not only working on your ceremony but also joining you in marriage at the Grandview in Poughkeepsie. It was indeed an honor to be your wedding officiant!
    Brigid, much gratitude to you and Dan for choosing me! My best wishes are with you and Dan
    May your lives together as husband and wife be filled with all of life's blessings and love's joys.
    Kindest regards,
    Reverend Sara

    Truly a ceremony from the heart!

    My husband I feel so fortunate to have found Sara and that she agreed to be our wedding officiant! Sara guided us with such expertise, kindness, and warmth through the whole process of creating a ceremony that was beautiful, meaningful, and very much "us." We could not have been happier with our ceremony and all of our guests commented on how beautiful it was! Thank you Sara, for helping us to create a wedding ceremony that was everything we wanted and more!

    Ceremonies from the Heart's reply:

    Elana,
    Thank you so very much for writing such a beautiful testimonial about your wedding experience with me! I sensed a special connection with you and Trevor during our first phone chat and indeed my initial “sense” was right. I not only loved working with you both on your ceremony, but it was a great honor and joy joining you in marriage at Auer Farm, in Bloomfield, CT. And what a beautiful day it was and what an amazing wedding venue Auer Farm is! You and Trevor were such a beautiful and radiant bride and groom, and I will never forget the joy I felt joining you in marriage on that breathtaking hilltop at Auer Farm!
    I also loved meeting your lovely family members and friends!
    Elana, my gratitude, blessings, and best wishes are with you and Trevor!
    May your journey through life as husband and wife be a great and glorious journey filled with love and joy!

    Excellent / Comfortable

    Reverend Sara is wonderful. She helps you through the entire ceremony from designing it to telling your love story. The love story is such a perfect piece that makes you smile. Anyone who uses her to perform their ceremony is lucky. Thank you Reverend Sara.

    Ceremonies from the Heart's reply:

    Hello Nicole,
    Much gratitude to you for the lovely review you so thoughtfully and kindly wrote about your wedding experience with me. I especially enjoyed working with you, planning your ceremony, and joining you and Dave in marriage at Clinton Vineyards.
    Once again, I also want to say a special thank you to you and Dave for choosing me to be your wedding officiant!
    Sending you and Dave blessings and best wishes for a long happy healthy life together as husband and wife!

    Easy, fun, sweet, genuine, satisfied.

    Sara Henderson is by far the easiest review to write from all our hires for the wedding. My wife & I needed to marry before our planned wedding day for personal reasons, which Sara happily accommodated. She made time for us and met us at a local town hall & dealt with the flustered town clerks. We were so relieved Sara was able to officiate our marriage beforehand and also perform our wedding ceremony on the planned day because it kept a sense of continuity we were afraid to lose. Come the day of the actual wedding Sara had written a script for us that felt personally tied to our relationship. She delivered her words with love and sincerity. Everyone loved Sara’s ceremony. Our wedding party, our guests, even the workers at the venue came up to us afterward telling us how sweet, fun & genuine it felt. I would choose Sara 1000x over. If you’re lucky enough to book this lovely officiant, don’t forget to tip. I’ll post photos when we get them back from the photographer.

    Beautiful service, & an unforgettable person.

    Ceremonies from the Heart's reply:

    Dear Tyler,
    I want to express my deep gratitude to you for the absolutely lovely review you wrote about me on Wedding Wire! Reviews are indeed very important to me but also of great importance is knowing I have created a beautiful, memorable, meaningful experience for couples.
    I also must tell you that I loved meeting you and Cali in Sharon for your first ceremony, and I also loved officiating your second ceremony at On-the-Rocks! Your On-the-Rocks wedding was a magnificent and beautiful wedding!
    Tyler, many thanks to you and Cali for choosing me to be your wedding officiant! It was an honor and a joy!
    My best wishes to you and Cali for a glorious life as husband and wife!
    Kindest regards & best wishes,
    Rev Sara

    We Loved Working With Sara!

    Sara helped us design a unique and special interfaith wedding ceremony (Christian and Jewish). My husband and I knew we wanted to create our own blended ceremony and write our own vows, and Sara provided ample resources to help us do that. We were drawn to Sara because of her warm and caring demeanor, and she was always so open and non-judgmental throughout the entire process, which is extremely important in an interfaith officiant! Sara is very knowledgeable about wedding customs across a variety of traditions, and she made sure that we were happy every step of the way and that every detail was exactly how we wanted it to be. We received several compliments from our guests about how heartfelt and meaningful our ceremony was, which is a testament to Sara!

    Ceremonies from the Heart's reply:


    Lindsey,
    Much gratitude to you for writing such a lovely testimonial about your wedding experience with me! I loved being a part of your wedding celebration and ceremony. It was not only wonderful planning your ceremony and joining you and Jake in marriage, but also being part of your rehearsal dinner. I had such a great time at the rehearsal dinner and felt so welcomed by your gracious family and friends that by the end of the evening, I almost felt like I was a family member!
    Thank you so very much for choosing me to be your officiant! Your wedding and my experience with you and your family and friends will always be a most joyous memory to me.
    You and Jake seem so perfect for each other! May your lives together be a great and glorious journey through life as husband and wife!
    Joy and blessings to you and Jake!

    Beautiful ceremony

    Sara was wonderful! She was very helpful throughout the entire process and up to the big day. She made our intimate ceremony very special and unique. She was professional and sweet and did a wonderful job delivering our ceremony. She catered to what kind of service we wanted and hit the nail on the head. We had many of our family members come to us after and commend what a wonderful job she did. Highly recommend Sara!

    Amazing experience with Reverend Sara

    Reverend Sara Henderson was amazing! Very personable and helped us customize our special day to what we wanted! We would highly recommend to all couples looking to get married!

    Ceremonies from the Heart's reply:

    Dear Karen & Sue,
    Much gratitude to you for giving me the honor of joining you in marriage! It was such a pleasure meeting you both and being a part of your beautiful wedding day! And what a lovely blessed occasion it was with the two of you surrounded with the love of loved ones on the sacred grounds of Linwood Spiritual Center!

    Secondly, I want to thank you for the lovely bag of wedding goodies you gave me! It was such a sweet surprise to receive such lovely thoughtful gifts: Your thoughtful card, the pink wine, the delicious cookies, and the heavenly vanilla rose perfume! Thank you so very much!

    Thanks also for the beautiful photos. I have posted the photo of you both on my website and I am thrilled to have you on my home page.
    Joy, love, blessings, and best wishes to you both!

Our families thought she did a truly amazing job as did we. We were truly blessed to work with her and anyone would be lucky to do the same. We highly highly recommend her.

    Dear Tyler & Ingrid,
    Much gratitude to you for taking the time to write such a lovely review about your experience with me. I loved being a part of your wedding day, meeting you and Ingrid, as well as meeting your family and friends!
    I thought your wedding was just lovely – The two of you were a beautiful sight to behold standing there on the beach, at the water’s edge facing the ocean beneath the crystal clear sunny skies pledging your lives and your hearts together in marriage surrounded and supported by your family and friends.
    Thank you so very much for choosing me to be your officiant. Thank you also for the lovely photo, which will always be a joyful reminder of you and Ingrid and your wedding day!
    Joy, blessings, and best wishes to you and Ingrid!
    Reverend Sara

    Amazing - Memorable Experience

    Sara was such a pleasure to work with for our March 11th, Tiny Wedding. We wanted to make sure our ceremony was memorable, intimate, and funny. Sara gave us many options on how we could make our ceremony special from just the initial conversation. She was extremely responsive and worked quickly to get us our drafts. She made sure to remind us that our ceremony was special to us, what we wanted, and made sure our families felt welcomed. I would recommend Sara to everyone, especially those looking to create new traditions. All of our guests continue to mention how this was their favorite ceremony they've attended and how memorable and loving it felt to them. Thank you Sara!

    Truly Memorable

    My guests still give me comments about how my ceremony was the most touching and "real" ceremony they've been too, they loved how it truly represented us as a couple. I cannot recommend Sara enough! She really knows what she is doing.

    Ceremonies from the Heart's reply:

    Dear Brenna,
    Much gratitude to you for taking the time to write such a lovely review about your experience with me. I truly enjoyed working with you and Aaron, preparing your wedding ceremony, and being a part of your Big Day!
    I thought your wedding was just lovely - You and Aaron were a most beautiful and striking bride and groom and, marrying you in front of your intimate gathering of family and friends in front of the fireplace at Heavitree helped create the perfect loving wedding atmosphere! I also have to add that I loved telling your lovely “Love Story” to everyone during your ceremony!
    Thanks again, Brenna for choosing me!
    My best wishes to you and Aaron for a long, happy, and healthy life together as husband and wife!!!
    Be Safe and Be Well,
    Sara

    Intimate wedding, intimate ceremony

    We were looking online and found a few potential officiants though Wedding Wire. We decided to go with Sara very quickly, after talking with one other person. While there were a few things we considered, it came down to how much and how clearly she loves what she does. Sara has a wide variety of ceremonies in her quiver and helped us put together one that was perfect for a small, intimate family gathering. It was a day we will remember for the rest of our lives and we were so glad we chose Sara to guide us through it.

    Ceremonies from the Heart's reply:

    Dear Jenny & Henry,

    Much gratitude to you for taking the time to write such a lovely review about your experience with me. It was truly a great pleasure working with you, preparing for your wedding ceremony, and joining you in marriage! I want to say many thanks to you for choosing me to be your officiant!

    I thought your wedding was just lovely - You and Henry were a most beautiful and striking bride and groom and, what a magnificent day it was! That little park at Yale created a unique and special setting and the presence, love, and support of your family were most heartwarming. I also really enjoyed meeting your family members!

    My best wishes to you and Henry for a long, happy, and healthy life together as husband and wife!!!

    Kindest regards,
    Sara

    Reverend Sara Henderson

    Reverend Sara was a great listener and gave us exactly the ceremony we were hoping for. When we needed suggestions she was also very helpful. She was in contact with us often and answered questions quickly. Our ceremony was tailored to us and she gave us various options for ceremony details to choose from. Would definitely recommend her!

    Ceremonies from the Heart's reply:

    Dear Heather,
    I just realized I never thanked you for taking the time to write a special review about your experience with me and my ceremony services. So, I want to say "much gratitude to you for your kind and thoughtful words!"
    I also want to thank you again for choosing me to be your officiant. I so very much enjoyed working with you on your ceremony, meeting you and Jonathan, and marrying you on your wedding day.
    Wishing you both a happy, healthy life together as husband and wife!
    Be safe & be well.
    Kindest regards,
    Sara Henderson

    Really Supportive

    Our experience with Sara was wonderful. She helped us navigate an uncertain time during COVID where difficult decisions had to be made about how to have a ceremony. She was supportive, thoughtful and professional. Our small backyard ceremony was an evening of warmth and love and Sara played a very integral role in making that possible.

    Ceremonies from the Heart's reply:

    Dear Karen,

    I just want to say thank you so very much for taking the time and care to write a review about me! I am so happy that your wedding evening turned out so beautifully for you and Ed! Having the honor of joining you in marriage was a great pleasure and honor for me and much gratitude to you for choosing me to be your officiant! Your wedding will also always be a very happy memory for me because you and Ed were my first Zoom wedding!!!
    I wish you and Ed a great and glorious journey through life together as husband and wife filled with love and happiness. Keep safe and be well through these challenging times.

    Joy, blessings, and best wishes to you both!
    Sara

    Reverend Sara is peaceful, creative and flexible

    In the midst of the pandemic and delays to our wedding, we decided the time was now. Reverend Sara was the perfect officiant for our seaside, lighthouse wedding. She was fantastic, guiding us as we crafted our ceremony. Her presence is peaceful, significant, and grounding. It’s easy to imagine she would be great before a large traditional wedding assembly as well. Our highest recommendation, and all the best for your own weddings, Mark and Valerie

    Ceremonies from the Heart's reply:

    Dear Mark and Valerie,
    Thank you so very much for the wonderful thoughtful review you wrote about me on Wedding Wire!
    I felt a wonderful instant connection with both of you the moment I met you and it was truly an honor and a delight to officiate your marriage!! Thank you so very much for choosing me to be your officiant!
    I am going to repeat the final blessing you chose for your ceremony because this is it my prayer and blessing for you:
    May your home be a place of happiness for all who enter it; a place where the old and the young are renewed in each other’s company; a place for growing and a place for sharing, a place for music and a place for laughter, a place for prayer and a place for love.
    May those who are nearest to you be constantly enriched by the beauty and the bounty of your love for one another, may your work be a joy of your life that serves the world, and may your days be good and long upon the Earth.
    May your marriage be a great and glorious union. And may you be blessed with love, joy, health, and protection for all the days of your lives!

    Kindest regards and warmest wishes,
    Reverend Sara
