    Together we crafted the perfect ceremony

    IF YOU'RE READING THIS THEN BOOK SABRA. DO NOT SECOND GUESS IT. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. SHE IS PERFECT. Seriously, we absolutely loved working with Sabra and highly recommend her. She was super flexible in helping us design our ceremony the way that we wanted it, and she was also able to help us navigate difficult aspects of the ceremony like dealing with family and also coming up with our own vows. Throughout the whole process she was super friendly and helpful. The first time we met with her to go over some details it was very sweet that at the end of the call she told us to take time to decide if we wanted to go with her but we already knew we wanted to work with her. Everything she had talked about in that first meeting let us know that she was ready to help craft the perfect ceremony. And spoiler alert--- she absolutely delivered! The rest of our vendors also appreciated having an actual professional officiant --- it makes a difference! She was able to coordinate with the other vendors much better than any relative licensed under the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster could have done. Overall Sabra was just a joy to work with and we appreciated her expertise as we worked through all the elements of our ceremony. It turned out to be perfect and we greatly appreciate her crucial role in that. Thanks Sabra!!

    I would give her 1 million stars if I could!

    She married us twice technically, once in privately July and again in December with the whole family. I was absolutely astonished with her attention to detail and overall caring personality. She literally felt like family to us even in just this short time! She gathered information from both my now husband and me BUT ALSO from 6 of our closest friends. This allowed her to formulate the MOST BEAUTIFUL ceremony I had ever seen and, while I may be biased, my cheeks hurt from smiling the whole time. She had our family crying and laughing and was captivating the entire time. She not only helped us with ceremony details but listened and even helped set up when we were running behind. She was an absolute dream to have on our wedding day and literally every guest I spoke to mentioned just how beautiful her words were. We were asked how she made it so personalized since nobody had ever seen such a personal ceremony, I can't tell you how many times I heard that it was the most beautiful wedding they'd ever attended. When I think of all the things that went wrong with the wedding planning process, Sabra will never be one of them! For the rest of my life I will have this joyous memory she created for us. I will continue to recommend Sabra and speak highly of her for as long as we both shall live (ha-ha).

    Fun, flexible, beautiful

    Sabra was amazing and made our day that much more special. Her flow of the ceremony was quick, but very meaningful. We cried and laughed. And when the dogs would not calm down, she pressed on. Amazing woman!

    A beautiful and personal ceremony!

    Sabra officiated my wedding in Gladwin, MI at Riverwalk Place on 8/21/21. She did a beautiful job and made our ceremony feel so unique and special. Our “love story” that she wrote for the ceremony captured so perfectly the relationship between my husband and I. We appreciate her so much for all of the time and effort she put into making our wedding ceremony so intimate and personal to us. Many of our guests complimented us on our ceremony because they felt like it was so original and beautiful.

    We cannot recommend her enough and would absolutely refer anyone getting married to book with her. She continues to study marital ceremonies so that she can give her couples a curated experience and goes out of her way to really get to know the relationship between both individuals by sending you questionnaires and performing a phone interview. Since we were a ways away from her location-wise she was not able to come to my rehearsal but provided me with such detailed instructions that our rehearsal ran smoothly and everyone knew their roles and what to do within an hour.

    Sabra is also such a loving, inclusive, and big-hearted person. My husband and I were immediately impressed when we found her on Facebook because she performs marriages for all people regardless of their sexual orientation, race, or religion. In today’s world people like her are needed and so important because all people deserve love, inclusion, and the ability to marry their soulmates. We are so thankful for Sabra!

    Sabra is a lovely officiant

    We were so happy with the ceremony that Sabra wrote and officiated for our 05/01/2021 wedding. She actually spent time getting to know us and our story, and even reached out to a few of friends and family members to include their thoughts in the ceremony. I had multiple people tell me that ours was the best ceremony they had ever attended because of the thoughtfulness and storytelling aspect. If you're looking for a a really special, personalized ceremony, then I absolutely recommend Sabra.

    Awesome + Amazing + So Much More!!!

    Sabra was so amazing to work with!!! We found her on weddingwire and knew right away that we wanted to work with her based on her reviews. After the first phone call with her we knew we found the perfect person to officiate our wedding. She really took the time to get to know us, answer all of our questions, made sure we were ready with our marriage license the day of, coordinated with our photographer for directing us and guests at the conclusion of the ceremony, made sure our ceremony music was all good to go (literally helped to get the bluetooth working and finding the correct version of the ceremony music), and included our pup in the ceremony! She even checked in on me (bride) before the ceremony started to make sure I was relaxed and good to go. I mean, she did so much more than just officiate our wedding, but she really helped to make sure it went as smoothly as possible. The first time I met Sabra in person was when she checked in on me, but it honestly felt like I had met her many times before. She was so, so nice. A few months before our wedding, Sabra reached out to us to see if we were thinking about moving our date due to Covid. While we never ended up moving the date, it really impressed us that she made the first move to reach out and be flexible about potentially moving things around. We could go on and on with all of the good things we have to say about her. We definitely recommend her to anyone in need of officiant services!! She will absolutely make the whole experience wonderful, personable, and completely unique to the two special people celebrating their love that day.

    Such an amazing experience!

    Sabra was able to make our ceremony everything we wanted and more. We had SO many compliments on how wonderful she did. She set up a consultation call with my now husband and I so that we could get to know each other and allow us to get a feel for her to make sure she could offer what we were looking for. She took the time to draft up questions for us and got as much detail as she could over the course of a few months and was able to put together something so wonderful for us. She was affordable, flexible, attentive to all details, and very affordable compared to other Officiants we had looked into prior. I HIGHLY recommend!

    Very flexible and involved

    Sabra has walked us through the process from the beginning. She took the time to really find out who we are and what would work gold for us, even if we didn’t know ourselves

    We were very excited for the ceremony Sabra had planned for us, (3-28-2020) but covid 🦠 was looming on the horizon and it looked more and more likely that we would have to cancel

    She has worked with us every step of the way including helping to perform a small ceremony in a park the day before the state shutdown, and letting us delay until everything settles down and we can find our footing post covid

    Highly recommend, even if we haven’t have the grand ceremony yet

    Wonderful!!

    Sabra officiated our wedding twice, we liked her so much! We were planning our wedding in March 2020, right when the pandemic hit. We rescheduled our celebration, and she helped us through 3 separate plans to do a small ceremony and get legally married before the state shut down, finally settling on a tiny elopement-style ceremony, planned the night before the ceremony, and performed the day before the state shut down. She had gotten to know us well enough through the planning process that when she asked us if she could just “have fun” with the ceremony, we said yes, and it was great- she threw in some fun and geeky references, one of which had us both laughing out loud. When it came time to do the ceremony with friends and family, she rewrote it with us. It was an amazing ceremony that truly reflected who we are as a couple, and we had people coming up to us throughout the night saying it was the best ceremony they had ever seen! She also had a great idea for seating families that another guest, who also officiates weddings, said she’d have to start implementing, too! We weren’t able to have a full rehearsal, so Sabra sent us a write up to send our party that kept things moving smoothly for the wedding. We highly recommend Sabra! She’s wonderful!!

    So amazing!

    Where do I even start? Sabra was everything we could have wished for and more as our officiant. She was professional, friendly, personable, and the ceremony she wrote was absolutely beautiful. She captured our relationship so perfectly and reflected it in the ceremony. She goes above and beyond in order to make the ceremony perfect.

    Sabra Detorre was the perfect choice for our wedding day

    Oscar and I absolutely loved having Sabra as our wedding officiant. We met with her once after I provided basic information by telephone. Sabra used our thoughts and ideas and created an incredible ceremony. Two of our close friends who are officiants attended the wedding. Their comments and compliments about the ceremony have been endless. Sabra was truly the perfect choice for our special day. The memories will be with us forever! Many thanks to this beautiful soul . . . Charles and Oscar.

    Her fee was extremely reasonable and a handsome tip was definitely in order.

    Gave us the wedding ceremony of our dreams!

    Sabra was an amazing officiant for our wedding this spring! She responded immediately to my initial inquiry and the process was smooth sailing from there. We had a meeting to go over all of the details and she made my now husband and I feel very at ease. We wanted a non religious quirky ceremony and she was more than accommodating. She included several nerdy references in our ceremony and it truly felt unique to us. Many of our guests told us how beautiful they thought the ceremony was and that they loved how personalized she made everything. If all of that wasn't already amazing enough, her prices were absolutely unbeatable. I would 10000% recommend Sabra to anyone looking for a magical wedding ceremony!!!!

    She was a great officient

    She was early to my ceremony, checked in, and was very organized. She communicated back and forth in a timely manner and made the ceremony beautiful with myself only doing a small part which made my life a lot easier not having to worry about this part of the wedding.

    Enthusiastic and Caring

    Sabra made us feel comfortable and helped us navigate these new waters. She truly cared and made sure that everything was perfect for us, right down to an added marriage blessing she put into the ceremony that we will hold onto and cherish the rest of our lives. She was sweet and caring but also wasn’t scared to wrangle the groomsmen at the rehearsal (thanks again for that, Sabra!)

    Basically, you’d be crazy not to hire her because she’s amazing!

    She is amazing!

    She is absolutely wonderful to work with! We couldn't be more pleased with our experience! During our initial consult, my husband and I had mentioned that we are a bit geeky and more nontraditional and she did an amazing job with the wedding script! If you are looking for an officiant that is amazing to work with and is able to write up a ceremony tailored to you and your fiance, Sabra is the way to go!

    Very professional, organized, and overall amazing!

    Sabra was amazing as our officiant for our wedding. She kept everyone calm and organized. She made us feel comfortable and took a lot of stress of of our shoulders. She gave us everything we asked for plus so much more. We can't thank her enough and would recommend her to everyone.

    Sabra just recently did my wedding on September 22nd! My husband and I were very pleased with how our ceremony turned out! We got so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the ceremony was! Sabra surprised me with the ceremony (I did not want to read it before the big day) and it was absolutely beautiful! It was everything I could have hoped for and more! Sabra was also on top of everything!! If I had any questions she always responded right away with answers! Again, we were very impressed!! I would HIGHLY recommend Sabra!!
