Meredith L. Sent on 08/22/2023Beautifully moving ceremony with Celtic rituals
Sarah did an incredible job as officiant for our wedding! Our guests could not stop talking about how moving and beautifully written our ceremony was. Her delivery was impeccable. She was great in communication and incorporating our edits to the ceremony. We wanted to get in touch with our Celtic ancestral roots in our ceremony, and she seamlessly led our infinity knot handfasting and Quaich rituals.
It was an absolute pleasure working with her, and I highly recommend her to anyone! -

Sarah was absolutely incredible to work with! She’s a true professional and did an amazing job of talking my husband and me through all the steps of creating our dream ceremony, starting with meeting us for coffee to learn more about our relationship, before we officially signed on board. She was so helpful throughout the entire planning process and her in-depth questionnaires allow her to craft a truly personal and heart-warming ceremony. We’re so thankful for all of Sarah’s guidance and truly will not forget the most special moment she helped us create. She is so caring, and CALMING! -

Sarah is an amazing wedding officiant! We got married 3 weeks ago in a small garden in New York. Sarah went above and beyond to make sure we got the best ceremony possible. She carefully reviewed the information we provided and integrated it to create a very thoughtful, personalized and touching speech. She also researched my country's tradition to add some beautiful personal touches to the ceremony. We could see that she really cares about her work and put in so much effort to make this ceremony perfect for us. I feel very lucky that we were able to find her. -

I cannot say enough about how great it was to have Sarah officiate our wedding. Even though getting married during the pandemic didn't allow us to meet Sarah in person beforehand, it was like having a good friend marry us. Sarah was responsive, professional and willing to go with the flow as things changed.
Thanks again Sarah for your amazing work and truly thoughtful touches :) -

After postponing our wedding, we decided to elope in the meantime. I found Sarah on a Tuesday and by Saturday, she was marrying us! She was incredibly accommodating to our requests and was extremely professional and kind every step of the way. I really loved how she went out of her way to make sure our ceremony was personal and meaningful for us. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to for an officiant. By the time your wedding comes, she won't feel like a stranger but rather a friend! -

I can't write about Sarah without getting choked up. We travelled from Australia to New York, deciding that we would get married while we were on holidays there. In all honesty, when you have a celebrant that is a complete stranger, you expect a lovely ceremony, but that's about it, right? Not if you have Sarah. We met her the day before our ceremony for the first time, she came to our hotel, we sat and talked for about an hour. Conversation was flowing and easy, and both my husband and I were looking forward to the next day. I cannot emphasise enough how our ceremony exceeded all our hopes and expectations. I am a bubbly and outgoing person, I cried through the whole ceremony. Sarah, from that one hour meeting, had picked up all that was important to us, and brought it into our ceremony. From acknowledging my Dad, who suffered a brain injury 18 months earlier, to gifting our handwritten vows back to us, in unique 'The New Yorker' cards, to the little goblet we used in our toast, that signified my Dad's Polish heritage. Sarah organised all of this, we will love her forever for the effort and love she put in to making us feel like we were her number one priority (and we were!) My ONLY regret is not having booked a videographer to capture it all. Rick and I could never have thought up such a beautiful ceremony, but Sarah did. We both wholeheartedly advise ANYONE who is getting married in New York to choose Sarah. She made our day more amazing than a fairytale. -

Razan Sent on 11/19/2017I was beginning to get worried about how our ceremony might turn out after admittedly not giving it much thought until the very end. Sarah Ritchie was the Officiant for our Pop Up Wedding in NYC and I was at least comforted by her countless positive reviews on the internet. I now know why the raves are warranted. She ended up taking such fantastic care of us and creating an incredibly personal and intimate ceremony in very little time. She was such a joyful, lovely presence on our wedding day. I couldn't recommend her highly enough!

Meredith Sent on 05/19/2016Sarah worked with us to create a highly personalized, unique ceremony. We're an interfaith, multicultural couple, and Sarah wrote a touching, cohesive ceremony that reflected those elements. At one point I mentioned how it would be nice to include a minute of meditation, and Sarah turned it into a longer portion that helped to ground us and our guests. She also included a Buddhist component that involved ringing a bell, and incorporated family into one of the readings. Working with her was very easy since she was flexible and laid back, and didn't add to our stress levels — unlike other vendors. So many of our guests told us how much they loved our ceremony, and we couldn't agree more. Our only regret is that we don't have video of it; otherwise we can't recommend Sarah enough. -
User2280037 Sent on 08/20/2015Marcos and I got married at a beautiful location in central park. We decided for a small and intimate wedding with only the most important people to us attending and it was the best choice we made. I just have to say that I could never in a lifetime have found someone better to marry my husband and I. The whole experience with Sarah was more than anything we expected. From the first email sent she understood our situation and worked around our budget with no hesitation in comparison to other officiants we had reached out to. We are more than happy it didn't work with anyone else but Sarah, she went above and beyond to make our day the most memorable and special day of our life's even though we didn't have a big wedding. We pushed our wedding day twice and she was the most understanding person ever. & when the worst thing that could have happened to us HAPPENED the day before our wedding she kept me sane and gave me all the options possible to make everything work out. Our wedding ceremony was more beautiful than we had ever thought it would be. She made sure to add personal stuff of our history into the ceremony and what she did for us after we could never thank her enough for the beautiful gestures she had with us. I recommend her 10000000000%. You will not be disappointed with such and amazing person who clearly lovessssssssss what she does. -

She was so thoughtful and was easy to work with, gracious and just fabulous!! We will consider having her renew our vows in a few years too!
