“WORKING WITH SARAH WAS AN ABSOLUTE DREAM! “
“The ceremony at our wedding was the most incredible experience, we did not stop smiling throughout. It is the most magical experience having someone weave your lives together in front of all your family and friends and it felt so personal and unique. She really captured what was important to us. We laughed so much and we remember looking at our guests just beaming back at us - it will stay with us forever. On the day she helped keep the groom relaxed and excited for the day (which was super appreciated!) We could not recommend her enough! Can we do it all again pleasseeee?”
HAYLEY AND JAKE, OCT 2019
“Sarah greatly exceeded our expectations when she delivered the ceremony of dreams for our wedding recently - it was loving, fun, special and unique. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed it too. Working with Sarah throughout the whole process was an absolute pleasure!”
“Sarah married our son Toby and daughter-in-law Siobhan last Saturday in a vibrant ceremony which was beautifully executed. She wove their histories into an amusing and meaningful presentation which was delivered in such a happy way. We could not have asked for a better ceremony better presented. Thank you so much Sarah.”
SIOBHAN AND TOBY, SEPT 2019
“Her energy was contagious and it felt we had a friend with us“
“Sarah was just a dream to work with!!! We knew instantly that she would be perfect for our ceremony. First impression was that of warmth, great sense of humour, genuine interest in our lives, and professionalism. These qualities were maintained throughout the whole process. Sarah was extremely flexible in offering as much or little support as we needed. Her wedding pack was a huge help! Like most people, we were extremely daunted about writing our own vows but Sarah was very reassuring. And they worked perfectly! On the big day our outdoor, rainy ceremony was made bright and cheerful by Sarah's presence. I think it speaks for itself when I accidentally hugged Sarah, instead of my dad, first when I reached the end of the the aisle! We had SO much positive feedback from guests who all said it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever been to. What seemed to set our wedding apart from many others was Sarah's ability to tell our story in such an entertaining and sincere way. We felt that she was genuinely invested in the whole process and it definitely showed. THANK YOU SARAH YOU DARLING”
EVELYN AND ED, AUGUST 2019
“We would like to say from bottom of our hearts thank you to Sarah. When browsing the internet for hours, we came across Sarah’s website and loved her bio. We’re British expat living in Germany. When we decided to get married we wanted a non traditional but personalised ceremony. However, we didn’t find anyone in Berlin who could deliver this until we spoke with Sarah. She is so warm, welcoming and made us at ease. She was amazing, her bubbly character really made us feel relaxed as she asked about our relationship and our lives. From this she created a beautiful story about our relationship while remaining professional. She made the ceremony fun, relaxed and romantic which is what we wanted and really personal to us. All the guests at the ceremony loved her. They commented on how wonderful the ceremony was and how beautiful the stories were. The wedding day was amazing and we were so glad we chose Sarah to be part of this, she made the ceremony so special. She was very professional and creative in her work. We would highly recommend Sarah.”
AADIL AND SHYAMALA, BERLIN, AUGUST 2019
“It really told our story and represented us perfectly”
“Sarah was fantastic. She took the time to write the most perfect and personal wedding ceremony for us. She is a real professional who will spend whatever time is needed to get the ceremony exactly right. We had so many comments from our wedding guests about how they'd never experienced a ceremony like it before. She is warm, friendly and kind - in short, just the person you want to have around you at your wedding!”
KATIE AND JAMIE, JULY 2019
“Thank you Sarah for a wonderful ceremony! Everyone has commented on how personal and fun it was, which is exactly what we wanted... and with zero cringe! It was perfect!”
CHLOE AND TOM, JULY 2019
"Sarah was amazing! The ceremony she delivered well exceeded our already high expectations. She offered lots of advice, and was so friendly and helpful. She spent time getting to know us, and personalised our ceremony perfectly to suit us, telling the story of how we met and how we got engaged in an entertaining, funny and moving way.
We wanted a joyful ceremony that involved our friends and family, and that was representative of us as a couple. Sarah delivered all this and more. The ceremony script was brilliantly written and she delivered the ceremony with such a positive energy, it brought all our guests together and got everyone into a celebratory mood, which set the tone for the rest of the day.
In speaking with a number of guests since the wedding so many have commented on how much they loved the ceremony and the insight it gave into us and why we were getting married.”
“If you want a warm-hearted, sensitive, joyful wedding celebrant, Sarah Powell is the best!"
HANNAH AND ANTHONY, NOVEMBER 2019
“We wanted our wedding to be a very different occasion and Sarah was instrumental in making this the case. From the initial Skype call, through The Big Chat (for which Sarah travelled to us), via numerous edits and amendments all the way to The Big Day, was a smooth seamless process during which Sarah got right inside our relationship and made the whole thing uniquely personal to us. The ceremony itself was absolutely unique and contained laughs, tears and a number of mentions and shout-outs to some of our guests. In fact there wasn't a dry eye in the house at certain points. All in all we can't imagine a more fun and personal way to deliver our vows to each other and would unreservedly recommend anyone to put their big day in Sarah's capable hands. Sarah, thank you again for a wonderful day.”
MIKE AND JENNIFER, JUNE 2019
“We are so incredibly happy that we chose Sarah to be our wedding celebrant and we would absolutely recommend her to anybody planning their wedding”
“The ceremony that Sarah created for us was a real celebration of love that incorporated our friends and family in just the way that we wanted and she delivered it with such warmth and humour - so many people told us how much they loved it. It really was our favourite part of the day and it seemed to set the perfect tone for the rest of the day too. We had a pretty good inkling when meeting with Sarah that the ceremony was in good hands and that her warmth would shine through on the day, which was absolutely the case. What we didn’t realise was just how much thought would go into writing the ceremony to make it unique to us and to flow together in such a natural way. She was also totally flexible about making any changes to ensure it was exactly what we wanted. Sarah, you created a ceremony that will make us smile for years to come, thank you so much!!”
EMMA AND STU, JUNE 2019
“We are so glad we found Sarah!”
“We chose to have a humanist ceremony as we wanted something unique and personal to us - and boy did we find it and more! We actually interviewed a few different celebrants but Sarah was definitely the perfect choice for us. She instantly came across as having a bubbly energy that is infectious and just made us both smile constantly. She is genuinely interested in your relationship and really cares about making the perfect ceremony for you.
She has a very uplifting personality and extremely friendly manner. She even agreed, with no hesitation, to come to York from London to deliver our ceremony. Throughout the entire process Sarah had fantastic communication and on the day she was prompt, punctual and a picture of calm. During the ceremony itself Sarah was incredible. She honestly brought our story to life! She helped us create a ceremony that was memorable, fun yet serious and loving.
All of our friends and family (whom most had not witnessed a humanist ceremony before) commented that it was the 'best wedding ceremony they had ever seen.’ They just couldn't quite believe what they were witnessing and why they had never seen it before! . A few guests who had been to humanist weddings before also stated that she was the best celebrant they had seen! Sarah recommended we do a hand fasting ritual (which we're so glad we did) and have hung our tied knot on our bedroom wall and every day I wake up and look at that knot and remember that day - it's really special. Please book Sarah if you are looking for a celebrant and don't even look anywhere else. You won't regret it.”
KELSEY AND THOM, AUGUST 2019
“Having Sarah at our wedding was absolutely one of the highlights of the whole process. Not only is she a real life ray of sunshine, but working with her throughout the process was arguably the most pleasurable thing about the whole planning process (and GOD I LOVED DRESS SHOPPING). In all seriousness though, having Sarah as our celebrant was the most perfect way of conducting the wedding, and we couldn't have asked for a more personal, sentimental or special ceremony, and could have never done it without her. She made all of our ideas come together seamlessly, and nearly everyone commented on how lovely it was to experience such a personal and love fuelled ceremony. I can't recommend working with Sarah highly enough, and if you're after a truly unforgettable day- she should be your first port of call”
OLIVIA AND JOE, MAY 2019
“see you in a few years for a vow renewal?!”
“A huge, ginormous, massive thanks to Sarah for being the most incredible celebrant at our wedding. We feel so privileged to have had her be such an integral part of our special day. As soon as we contacted her, through to meeting up with her, she ‘got us’ straight away, making us feel relaxed, and like we were chatting with a good friend. Throughout the whole process she was super professional and made everything so easy. The ceremony she wrote for us was deeply personal, funny, emotional and moving - absolutely everything we could have hoped for and more. Her charisma and delivery set the perfect tone for the rest of the day; relaxed and full of love and laughter. It was hands down the highlight of our wedding day and we had so many comments from our guests saying it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they’d ever seen. She quite simply radiates joy and happiness, and if you don’t book her for your wedding, you’re seriously missing out.”
JENNY AND PAUL, MAY 2019
“Having Sarah to host our wedding ceremony was one of the best decisions we made. She was a brilliant celebrant, so warm & entertaining and so easy to work with throughout. Our guests were totally blown away & she definitely helped to set the tone for what was an incredible day, full of emotion and amazing memories. Thank you Sarah”
KATIE AND DINC, MAY 2019
“Sarah is a wonderful celebrant and person”
“Not only was she extremely professional and organised in the ceremony planning process but she delivered a ceremony which was exactly what we wanted and which was one of the things our guests complimented most about the day. Many also commented on Sarah’s warm and humorous manner - she was generally a joy to work with. We organised our wedding ourselves without venue or planning help, and wanted to do things a bit differently, so it was quite stressful and nerve-wracking. However, Sarah coming on board was the point we felt that things would all turn out alright. We suddenly felt like there was someone who knew what they were doing in the wedding process and who was unfailingly positive about our ideas but ready with others when we changed direction or ran out of inspiration. She helped organise all the readers and other contributors to the ceremony too, and we all felt like we were in excellent hands, which was a relief at such an important moment of our lives. We would highly recommend Sarah as a celebrant for any wedding - she is brilliant.”
ROSIE AND TOM, APRIL 2019
“Sarah is extraordinary”
“Her sensitive and careful approach to our lives made her a supreme choice to host our wedding service.
Her inquisitive nature brought up some magnificent questions and ideas I would have never even thought of.
During the ceremony it felt as if a sister, or a lifelong friend, was standing by our side and walking us through one of the best days of our lives.
What most stood out was her keen ability to make the wedding truly 'ours'. Her level of detail and personalisation was truly next level.
Sarah's professionalism, kindness, compassion and service helped define a day I will forever look back on and see as perfect. “
DOUG AND SIMON, AUGUST 2018
“When we stumbled across the lovely Sarah Powell on Instagram we thought to ourselves, we like the look of her ... she’s smiley! What we didn’t know at that point was what a perfect fit for us and our wedding Sarah would turn out to be. It was like having a really good friend stand up and tell our story in front of our nearest and dearest. “Sarah came to meet with us, so as to find out about us as a pair, as well as individually, and also took the time to note the little nuances that make us tick as a couple. She sat and listened as we told our tale, whilst we giggled and laughed continuously, and patiently gave us space to relive the times from when we first met, so as to build an understanding of our relationship and create a ceremony which was truly unique to us. Sarah made us feel truly relaxed before the wedding day as we had complete confidence in her. She was calm leading up to and during the ceremony and carried us and our guests through, what turned out to be, an emotional rollercoaster.”
“People thought that she was a personal friend of them both because she had so much information about them. Sarah made their day I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to take part in your wedding celebrations.”
“We cannot thank you enough for making our day so perfect”
“She made the whole ceremony feel so relaxed but also made it fun and humorous whilst keeping the love and romance of the day at the forefront. Everyone commented on how wonderful the ceremony was.
We couldn’t of wished for a better person to conduct our ceremony
She was so professional but most importantly, she has a fun, warm personality that not only made the experience easy and relaxed for us but also made us feel at ease and any nervousness we felt disappear. Sarah gave our ceremony a fun, laid back and romantic feel to the day, which is exactly what we wanted.
