About
I absolutely love weddings! I treasure the joy of your union and am honored to officiate for you. This is your ceremony; What are you looking most forward to? Let’s make that happen!
I will write a very specific ceremony that speaks directly of your love story, sharing what draws you together with those you have specially chosen to witness your ceremony. I strive to create a ceremony that is both touching and memorable.
I love outdoor ceremonies, I find that the elements of our natural surroundings speak deeply of the connectedness we have in the love we build.
I am very comfortable speaking to references of marriage in sacred texts. If a traditional service is what you want, you got it. Whether you seek traditional vows or scripture that speaks to your relationship, it is my pleasure to craft your ceremony.
With the COVID-19 pandemic, it may be hard to share your ceremony with everyone you wish to. If there are no photographers there to take pictures, I will be sure that you have a few lovely pictures of you on this day.
There are no limits on love, whether nondenominational or religious, Deeply spiritual or just plain silly… Love is limitless. Marriage is proof of that.

We were so lucky to find Sandra. She truly cares about her work and takes great pride in providing a meaningful ceremony while ensuring everything is done with care and quality. She is responsive, flexible, and communicative throughout the entire process. She also shared many helpful ideas for the ceremony location and our vows, which made planning so much easier. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant!

I had no idea how or what to look for in an officiant. I'm new to getting married :) but, sandy was perfect! She is super sweet, helpful and just wonderful. She made my kids feel comfortable and that's what was important to us! Sandy asked questions and offered advice and she was involved with the plans. It was very intimate and she made our day magical. We want to thank you so so much for making our day super special.
