Reimagining Marriage Ceremonies

I help couples design their custom marriage ceremony so they can mark their milestone with a meaningful, memorable ceremony.

"After our elopement day, I couldn't imagine hiring anyone else. Within the first 5 minutes of meeting Sarah, we knew the day was going to be great. From a complete stranger to a good friend in minutes of meeting. I would recommend her to anyone eloping in Montana."

Hello!

I’m Sarah- I live on our tiny farm in Whitefish with my husband, John, and our kids Alma and Wesley. John and I are originally from North County San Diego. We spent our childhood lives loving the ocean and surfing. We moved to Montana in 1999 and have spent the second half of our lives raising our family.

John and I have been happily married since 2002. My marriage is the best thing in my life, so I truly believe in love and the life-long relationship of marriage. 

Being a celebrant is the perfect role for me! I love love. I love writing personalized ceremonies. And I love becoming instant-family with my couples. I trained at the Celebrant Academy, where I received my Masters Certificate.

We can enjoy planning your ceremony! We’ll get to know each other so that you’ll feel comfortable with me and I’ll be able to share your relationship story. If you’re looking for a fun, enthusiastic, kind, and thoughtful celebrant, one who cares about getting to know you, approaches her work like a pro, and shows up on one of the most important days of your life ready to have fun- then reach out and send me a message! I’m so excited to meet you and see if I’m the right fit for your big day.

"Sarah was so easy going and made us feel so comfortable! We never would have thought about having our families write in letters to be a part of our ceremony but thankfully Sarah suggested it and it turned out to be one of our favorite parts. The rest of the ceremony was a surprise but what she put together was better than anything we ever imagined and had both of us in tears at points. Afterward she was so helpful when taking pictures and already had everything taken care of before I even asked (marriage certificate, a copy of the ceremony). We had such a perfect day!"

My marriage is the best thing in my life.

John and I got married in 2002. I didn’t want a typical, stuffy religious ceremony,

so I wrote our ceremony myself.

My aunt still tells me it was the most beautiful wedding she’s ever been to. Not because of our location, (my brother’s backyard), or the dresses or the table decorations.

It was beautiful because our love was the star of the show.

We promised our lives to each other in a ceremony that reflected our relationship. 

Honest, personal, fun, romantic, and beautiful. 

That’s what I want for you. I want your relationship to shine as the star of the show.

What couples are saying...

Memorable

"It was all perfect from start to finish. I would recommend you 1000 times to anyone eloping in Montana."

Intimate

"Many people ask me why we chose to get married the way we did and I always tell them that we were able to have a wonderful, intimate ceremony with just the two of us, the officiant (that's you!) and our photographer and it made it so much more special and less hectic than a regular wedding."

Personal

"The ceremony was... amazing. It made me feel at home! I couldn’t say enough great things about it. Everything was so beautifully said. I can’t wait to let my family read the copy. You thought of everything and tied it all together"

Heartfelt

"PERFECT. The ceremony was so personal even though we had never actually met. I have been to plenty of weddings, and never have I heard a ceremony so heartfelt and personal as ours. You took time to get to know us via FaceTime and emails to really make it special. We really would not change a single thing."
