Rev Brian Sage is absolutely incredible! From the very beginning, he made the entire process easy, personal, and stress free. The ceremony was heartfelt, beautifully written, and perfectly captured our story. So many of our guests commented on how meaningful and memorable it was. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to marry us, and we’re so grateful for the care, professionalism, and warmth he brought to our special day. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing officiant!

Reverend Brian Sage made our wedding ceremony more personal and meaningful than we ever could have hoped for.
From our very first conversations, he truly listened. He took the time to learn the history of our relationship, understand what was important to us, and incorporate every special request we had. When I mentioned that I wanted to include a ring warming ceremony, he researched the tradition and beautifully worked it into our ceremony in a way that included our family and made the moment incredibly special.
What touched me most was how he took pieces of our seven-year journey together—even the verses from the personal song I had created for Gary—and wove them into the ceremony. It felt as though he had known us for years.
Reverend Sage didn’t give us a generic wedding ceremony. He told our story with warmth, humor, sincerity, and heart. He helped create a ceremony that was uniquely ours and one that Gary and I, along with our family and friends, will remember forever.
We are so grateful to Reverend Sage and would wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple looking for an officiant who will truly take the time to make their ceremony personal, meaningful, and unforgettable.
Thank you, Reverend Sage, for helping make the beginning of our next adventure together so incredibly special. ❤️
It was a great pleasure to celebrate with you. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and your family and friends in such a wonderful venue and uniting you both in matrimony.
Continued much happiness and blessings?

We needed an officiant last minute and he was kind enough to accommodate us. He made our little ceremony just as important and special as a large wedding. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get married to choose Ceremonies by Sage!

We had a small ceremony and was done perfectly. Will customize the ceremony based on what you want for the wedding and it's easy communication via e-mail. He was very presentable, understanding and helpful.
we recommend 100%. Thank you for helping us getting our dream in amazing memories.
