Introduction
AFFORDABLE ELOPEMENTS AND SMALL WEDDINGS Includes award winning wedding officiant and lovely garden setting. $250 for brief ceremony and 30 minutes in my garden Convenient location for everyone in the San Francisco Bay Area As a wedding officiant and non-denominational minister, I have performed over 500 weddings and have seen that not everyone wants or needs an elaborate [and expensive] wedding ceremony. If this is your choice, I have created the perfect setting for you under the wisteria arbor in my Oakland garden. Everything is simplified for a stress-free experience without sacrificing the meaning and beauty of a marriage ceremony. We will meet beforehand by phone to create a brief ceremony that's tailored just for you. You and your small party of guests [15 or less] are invited to 30 minutes in the garden for the ceremony and time for photos. Everyone can informally gather around you as the ceremony is performed. Additional options include setting up an aisle and chairs, glasses set up for a toast, a longer time in the garden, and suggestions for admired photographers. Located half-mile from the Bay Bridge and in the heart of wonderful dining options such as the Gourmet Ghetto, Jack London Square, Oakland Chinatown and more. FOR LARGER WEDDINGS AT YOUR VENUE OF CHOICE, please visit my website ww.CeremoniesForSacredDays.com for information and prices.

Shyamala was great! I felt so comfortable with her from the moment she called me. I knew from the moment I heard her that she was the one I wanted to preform our ceremony. She is such a wonderful woman and it was an absolute delight to have her preform our ceremony. We did not have a large wedding and Shyamala made it feel so special she had great ideas and is such a warm and kind person. She even made my daughter a part of the ceremony and she loved every bit! We will have another wedding in the near future and Shyamala will be there again to do that ceremony, if she accepts :). I would highly recommend Ceremonies For Sacred Days and Shyamala to anyone who is looking for an wonderful ceremony and someone who will make your day the most special day in your new lives as one.

Shyamala was our officiant for our outdoor wedding in Oakland, CA on 8-25-12. She is an amazing woman. A very kind spirited, genuine good soul. She worked with us to customize our day specifically to our needs. She meets with you ahead of time even in her own home to talk about your love story and get to know you as a couple. I really feel like she loves marrying couples and see's/feel's the true beauty in it and that it's not just a job to her. She was open to all of our ideas and was able to incorporate them. She has a lot of material for you to reference that you can use related to readings, vows, etc....or you can bring your own! Our day turned out flawless. I would definitely recommend her.

My husband and I were married in July 2012. Shyamala Littlefield is the consummate wedding officiant; she is warm, sociable, has a great speaking voice and is very responsive and creative. We contacted Shyamala about 9 months prior to our wedding and had a telephone conversation with her. We instantly knew that she was "the one" for us. Because my husband and I had conflicting schedules, we met Shyamala initially through Skype to discuss our vision for our wedding. Later on, we met at our home in Oakland. It was lovely to meet her face to face, and I knew then that our ceremony was in good hands. Throughout the process of planning our wedding, Shyamala kept in touch with us. When we came down to the "wire" for our wedding and had to change some details we had previously discussed, she was able to integrate them into our ceremony seamlessly. Our ceremony was beautiful and memorable. We loved it so much and cannot wait to relive it when we see our wedding video. Thank you, Shyamala, for a beautiful ceremony. I would highly recommend her!

Shyamala Littlefield is truly a treasure find. I posted on an online website for Napa/Sonoma area looking for a non-denominational but spiritual, fun loving, eclectic, gifted speaker for a quirky couple like myself and my husband to be. Shyamala was so quick to respond, telling me she loved my post and would we like to set up an over the phone meeting with us. Once we spoke, I knew she was the ONE! I felt like she worked with us every step of the way to make our ceremony SO personal and witty. We met in person with her and then had a few follow up one on ones...I read the entire ceremony the week before the wedding and it brought tears to my eyes in just the reading. The actual ceremony was MAGICAL. She spoke eloquently and her personal statements about us as a couple were spot on. Truly AMAZING! Thanks so much Shyamala for making this day one of the BEST in my life. Guests were so moved and said it was one of the most loving, fun and poignant ceremonies they had ever seen. Search no more, if you live in the bay area or are hosting your wedding ceremony in or around wine country, Shyamala Littlefield, is your OFFICIANT!
