One of the most complimented parts of our entire wedding day was our ceremony, and that’s all thanks to our incredible officiant, Evan. From the beginning, we knew we wanted a ceremony that felt meaningful and personal, and Evan delivered that and so much more. He met with us ahead of time, walked us through everything, and really took the time to understand our story. When the big day came, he absolutely nailed it. He shared our love story in such a heartfelt and light-hearted way, beautifully weaving in some of my favorite scripture. There was laughter, happy tears, and so much joy…he truly set the tone for the rest of the day, and helped calm my nerves more than he probably realized. To top it all off, Evan is a true jack of all trades, his company also offers bartending services! Right after the ceremony, he jumped behind the bar and kept the good vibes going. So many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed chatting with him and how great the service was. If you're looking for someone who can do it all,and do it with heart….Evan is your guy.

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about April she was absolutely incredible as both our officiant and day-of coordinator! We didnt actually meet in person until the day of my wedding but it felt like i had already met her before even talking to her on the phone she was warm, organized, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. As our officiant, she created a beautiful, personal ceremony that reflected our relationship and personalities. As our day-of coordinator, April went above and beyond. She handled every little detail with professionalism and calm, ensuring that everything ran smoothly so we could fully enjoy the day without stress. From coordinating vendors to managing the timeline to solving last-minute hiccups we didn’t even know about until it had already been solved April made it all look effortless. Thanks to April, we were able to fully enjoy our wedding day. It was truly the best decision we made to have her as both our officiant and coordinator. If you’re looking for someone who is thoughtful, professional, organized, and kind look no further. We are beyond grateful! It was also a big surprise for us and made it even more special when we found out she also married my little sister on her wedding day back in October!!

Sarah started an event/wedding planning business in 2024. Since then she has become a certified civil celebrant for the state of Virginia in 2025. Sarah made this decision because she wanted to be able to support couples in multiple ways during this process.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Sarah to officiate our wedding on October 24, 2025. She was the absolutely best to work with! She was attentive, kind, friendly, and the most helpful! She told us everything that we needed to do leading up to the wedding, she included a prayer and catered to our religious beliefs by including that in our ceremony. She was so accommodating and supportive and even though we forgot our marriage license the day of the wedding, she didn’t panic or worry because the very next day we were able to meet up with her and give her the license to complete and sign so it could go out right away. If you are looking for someone to officiate your wedding and do a wonderful job doing so, look no further cause she is the best! She also does wedding coordinating as well, so you get a wonderful package deal with her if you need it! Our special day couldn’t have gone as planned and as smoothly without her. Thank you so much, Sarah! We are forever grateful!
