Simple. Customized. Genuine. We really loved working with Sarah - from the very beginning, it was an easy-going process to figure out how everything worked as far as the ceremony. She met with us shortly after our engagement and after we had set a date - walked us through what a few of her ceremonies had "looked like" as well as offer the things that would make it more personal for my then-fiance' and I. What I really enjoyed about Sarah's process was that she helped us figure out what kind of ceremony we wanted (we are both religious, but opted out of getting married through the church) so we decided on a partially religious ceremony that included a welcome, a dedication from our friends and family to support our marriage, a poem read by my cousin, our own written vows, ring exchange, and because we grew up near the sea, she incorporated a special and custom Nautical/Sailor's Knot tying ceremony...which everyone LOVED. For the rehearsal and actual ceremony, she was friendly and helpful with our bridal party and family as well as accommodating when we made a last-minute change. After we got hitched, she took our marriage license and got it to the state within the week and within 2 weeks we got our official returned license! Sarah was the best fit for us - she was so great to work with as well as super organized and helpful. Not to mention she gives you options for payment as well. We'd definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a customized wedding ceremony in just about any Austin location! read more

Let's Do It Vows: Sarah Reed, Officiant - Raquel & TJ with Sarah at Creekside in Dritftwood, TX. - Officiants Near Me

See all

It was a lovely Sunday afternoon. My husband and I were waiting patiently (with eager anticipation) at Café Medici waiting on the arrival of what hoped to be our officiant at our vow renewal. Reading 5 star after 5 star review, I had to meet her - I had to meet Sarah and there she was - this GORGEOUS woman with fire red hair and a heartwarming smile. That smile and her heavenly voice won me over in an instant. Christian and I both felt a calmness because we knew we found our gal - our conductor that would orchestrate our ceremony with ease, poise and grace. She's spunky and down to earth. Her ceremonies are authentic, natural and real - never forced or copied. She delivered our ceremony as if it was straight out of a Nicholas Spark's novel. Her heart is so full with love and it radiated throughout the day - each guest felt that presence. I couldn't imagine our day without her. She made it so magical. Our ceremony was a little bit different, this was a vow renewal. My husband is from Sweden and his family couldn't make it - or so he thought. I had secretly arranged for his family to come to surprise mid-ceremony. Sarah carried it out like. a. BOSS. We will never forget that overwhelming sense of love and shock and all thanks to you - we have that moment to look back on forever. We love you so much Sarah - you are a blessing. read more

Let's Do It Vows: Sarah Reed, Officiant - Sarah carried out my husband's surprise to the T! - Officiants Near Me

See all

Sarah was 100% amazing. She officiated our wedding on 1/26/14 and we couldn't have asked for a better wrangler. We had originally planned for an April wedding and then had to change our plans and Sarah was a complete trooper through the whole ordeal. She was even willing to brave a sunrise ceremony when that's what we thought we wanted (don't worry, we changed our minds about that, too). She responded to communication quickly and effectively, was completely prepared with preplanned ceremony options, and totally open to the changes we wanted to make. We were looking for a very lighthearted, not-so-solemn ceremony and she sat down with us to go through what was important to us and how to frame the mood and the result was perfect. You can stop looking, because Sarah is the officiant you want and need. read more

Sarah was such a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend her. I found Sarah's website and watched some videos of other ceremonies she officiated. Afterwards, I was all teary-eyed and thinking, "Yes, this is what I want!" We met with her a few days later to talk in person. She is super friendly and had a ton of great advice for us about our ceremony but also just general wedding tips, too. Since we weren't exactly sure what we wanted for our ceremony, she sent us a bunch of helpful documents to look at and get ideas. In the end, we ended up with the perfect ceremony that really fit our personalities. read more

Sarah Reed, at Let's Do it Vows, did an outstanding job officiating our intimate backyard wedding wedding, on April 8th!!! She was wonderful to work with, and we are so happy that she was there to help us make it official! If you're considering booking Sarah, just do it all ready! She's got a ton of helpful tools to help you draft the vows that are perfect for you. Sarah provided us with several guides, and helpful information, for each part of the ceremony (welcome, couple story, vows, rings, readings, closing). So we were able to pick the words that were just right for us. She was great about sending reminders to keep us on track. I think we finalized our vows a week (or less) before our wedding, and Sarah was able to get everything together and deliver her speech, officiating our wedding, just perfectly. Several of our guests commented on our vows, and how unique and special they were, and how great a job that Sarah did. We couldn't recommend her any more!! read more

Found Sarah via Yelp and read through all of her reviews. Fiancee jumped at Sarah being our Officiant. Contacted Sarah via email and we corresponded entirely through email for our wedding. My wife and I definitely recommend Sarah to officiate your wedding. Tell Sarah (after hiring her) exactly what you want and dont want in your ceremony and she will make it happen. Fantastic service and followup. Thanks Sarah! read more

My wife and I aren't particularly religious and as a result didn't have any ties to a particular officiant, so our officiant search was an unstructured and challenging one. We completely lucked out when we found Sarah Reed. We didn't realize how much we didn't know until we met with Sarah for the first time (she was kind enough to meet us at a coffee shop so that we could all get to know each other before moving forward). Given her expertise, Sarah calmly walked us through answers to all the questions we hadn't thought about before (who enters when? who stands where? ...and so on). She made putting together our vows easy; while she was certainly willing to use entirely custom vows, we were more than relieved to have her provide reference material that we used to piece together a custom ceremony from existing content that worked for us. On our wedding day, Sarah was a dream - Memorial Day 2015 was a wet disaster in Austin, and Sarah kept her cool and helped us remember all the little things we'd forgotten while frantically getting ready for the day. One small example was the fact that our strings players were late to arrive due to rain delaying them. Seeing the panicked look on my face when Sarah realized they weren't there five minutes before the ceremony was set to begin, she stepped right in and offered to call them on my behalf so that I could finish getting ready. You can plan for a lot on your wedding day, but when tornadoes and historic, freak flooding occur in Austin and everything changes or goes wrong at the last minute, you'll appreciate more than anything that Sarah is the glue that holding your ceremony together. We sure did, and can only imagine how good she is when the sun shines! We can't speak highly enough of Sarah and will continue to recommend her to absolutely all of our friends. We're so grateful she was a part of our special day! -Derrick and Kelli read more

Sarah did an excellent job officiating our wedding in March. At our initial consultation, she asked some great questions to get to know us as a couple. I felt instantly comfortable with Sarah and liked her style. She was great to work with and made the whole process extremely easy and allowed us to personalize our wedding. In working with us to develop our ceremony, she sent us a lot of info to look over and then actually custom wrote our couple story for our ceremony, which we loved. I think the couple story was a cool way for friends/family to get to know us even better as a couple, and we had several people tell us they really enjoyed that part of the ceremony. Sarah did a really great job during the ceremony and was totally professional. I would definitely recommend her! read more

If I could rater her 10 stars I would! Scott and I struggled to figure out what type of officiant we wanted and what we wanted our ceremony to be. Since it was a second marriage for us both, we wanted to undo the things we were not crazy about the first time around. A friend's sister had used Sarah so I contacted her. We met for coffee and I knew she was the one! She thoughtfully took time to get to know us, suffered through my endless edits and really helped create a ceremony that was really catered to us. We were married at our house and after a kazoo entrance to here comes the bride we began. It was just a joyful experience and perfect. Everyone LOVED it and said it was the best most customized ceremony they had ever witnessed. Sarah "gets" people. She picks up on the underlying essence and takes the time to understand couples. She was just a dream to work with! I highly, HIGHLY recommend her! read more

If I could do it all over I would pick Sarah again! Sarah made planning the ceremony so easy and stress-free because she has great material to work with, and was always prompt with correspondence to answer all of our questions. It was much appreciated. We didn't have a wedding planner we so we paid the extra to have Sarah come help us out at the rehearsal. SO glad we did. She was punctual and looked nice. She helped us get organized and remember our places and we did two walk-throughs that gave everyone a clear idea of what the ceremony was going to look like. She was professional and courteous to all my family and friends. The ceremony itself! I love what she wore, it was just perfect. She was on time, talked to us before-hand so we had nothing to worry about. She brought extra copies of our readings, thank goodness because we lost ours! I liked her presentation style, calm and happy but not overly serious or boisterous. She helped us make sure we had the certificate signed, which I completely was not thinking about in all the excitement. In sum, she made the process of making a customized ceremony easy, and the big day stress free! Highly recommend! read more

We really like and connected well with Sarah! Our wedding was such a perfect day and the compliments have been flowing about how wonderful our officiant was- personality & flow was spot on! We appreciated that Sarah was straightforward AND very helpful with resources that helped guide our ceremony selections. Honestly, we stumbled upon a true gem of a person and we are so grateful that Sarah was a part of a such a special day in our lives. read more

I absolutely adored working with Sarah! She officiated my wedding (12/8/13) and made our day so special. She gave us the opportunity to customize each part of the ceremony offering us many incredible options. Her words were deeply profound and meaningful to us and our families. Additionally, I ran into some hair drama before the wedding and called Sarah last minute in distress. Sure enough, she saved the day with her blowdryer and all was well in the universe. Sarah was warm, professional and a joy to be around. I recommend her highly! read more

We were very happy with Sarah and so glad that we had her officiate our wedding. She helped us tailor the wedding ceremony to make it our own and wrote a short couples story about us. We were lost in the beginning on what we wanted and she was very helpful with providing all the resources we needed to figure it out. She's so nice and super cool on top of being an awesome wedding officiant! read more

Sarah was absolutely amazing! Sarah made us feel so relaxed and performed such a beautiful ceremony. I highly recommend her to anyone!

The day we renewed our wedding vows holds many special memories. Years from now, we'll think back on the day and how happy we were. Our day would not have been complete without our magnificent officiant, Sarah Reed. So we offer our most sincere, special thanks to her for making our day absolutely perfect. Sarah was gracious and warm, and brought so much positive energy, immediately putting us at ease. And the photos she took were gorgeous. We highly recommend Sarah and "Let's Do It!" read more

Sarah was incredible! I remember instantly liking her when we met for the first time. She has a way of putting you at ease. But, really the day of the rehearsal & the wedding day were where Sarah really shined. She was so patient at the rehearsal while waiting on my family to arrive when stuck in traffic. The day of the wedding, she was the calming force for me while we made last minute changes to the ceremony location. My mom even mentioned to me that she thought Sarah was fantastic. You can't go wrong choosing Sarah! read more

My fiancé and I opted to say "I do" in a small ceremony with our immediate family. Though we didn't have many wedding details, having a genuine, meaningful ceremony was extremely important to us. We were thrilled to stumble upon the Let's Do It website after much searching for an Austin area officiant. It was easy to trust Sarah just from reading her incredible reviews. After working with her, we can see why she's so adored by her clients! Sarah was warm and professional, putting our wedding nerves instantly at ease. We love how she wrote a small couples story to help customize our ceremony greeting. Sarah also has a true talent for "going with the flow". The day after the ceremony, we learned she had stepped in an ant pile, yet officiated our wedding with no hesitation or complaint! Would give her more stars if we could. Thanks, Sarah! read more

We couldn't be happier with choosing Sarah as our officiant. She has a great presence and was professional and efficient at our wedding. Most of all, she was extremely helpful in planning our ceremony prior to the wedding. Most couples are probably just as lost as we were when going into ceremony and vow planning. We knew we wanted something non-traditional and personalized, and Sarah helped us achieve just that. It was stressful writing our own vows, but Sarah is a great source to point you in the right direction with both the vows and readings for the ceremony. She has suggestions for any type of style to reflect the couple, whether it is religious, spiritual, literary or whimsical. My favorite part was the personalized story Sarah told about my husband and I during the ceremony. We definitely recommend her! read more

Sarah got to know us and helped guide us to a perfect wedding! We appreciated her positive attitude and the experience she brought to the table. Sarah had all kinds of tips and advice for us while still making everything personal just for us. Thanks for everything Sarah! read more

Sarah was fantastic. She was very helpful, thorough and professional. She was wonderful when working on the ceremony script and planning, she took lots of great pictures for us at the ceremony and she was an excellent officiant. She did this all within just two weeks from when we contacted her to the ceremony. She made our wedding very special. read more

Sarah was wonderful! She was professional while adding an intimate and personal touch. She was also a calm and comfortable presence in a nervous moment. I would recommend her for weddings big and small. You would be lucky to have her! read more

We LOVE Sarah! We feel lucky to have found her and we highly recommend. She is professional, responsive and accommodating but what really shines in her awesome personality and her calm and soothing presence. We felt instantly comfortable with her at our first meeting. She is down to earth, open to any type of ceremony/service you are dreaming of and all around amazing. read more

One could not ask for a better officiant for a wedding than Sarah. My bride and I were recently married and Sarah conducted the ceremony. She was very collaborative from the beginning and helped us to craft a custom ceremony that was truly an expression of both of us. She keeps things fun and relaxed and helped keep things calm on the big day. She has a great presence and added a lot to our biggest day! We can't thank her or recommend her enough! read more

Sarah is an absolute delight. She is very professional and made our ceremony very memorable. Sarah had a great selection of vows to choose from and since we wanted something unique and fun, she was very well prepared. I was not a "center of attention type" bride and Sarah was very understanding and helpful in this manner. She put my husband and I at ease knowing that she was taking care of the ceremony. We didn't have a wedding planner and Sarah went above and beyond to ensure that our ceremony ran smoothly and we were happy with the end result. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding. read more

Sarah was fantastic! She was so enjoyable to work with and provided us with lots of suggestions to help craft a ceremony to fit our personalities. I've received a number of compliments in the weeks since our wedding that the ceremony totally captured "us". Sarah was calming, funny, and professional throughout the preparations, ceremony, and rehearsal where she had to step in a bit to run things as the venue director was...um...new. Thank you Sarah! read more

Sarah was wonderful! We hit it off immediately, and had a really good time getting to know each other, she felt like a friend as soon as we met her. She was always helpful when I had little questions and always made me feel like everything was going to be OK. And it was. She came to a walk thru, and helped me to determine the flow of things, which was a big help. The day of the wedding went smoothly, she helped everyone know where they were supposed to be and when. We got so many compliments about how personal the wedding felt, how great Sarah was, how it felt so intimate and personal. It was such a wonderful day and Sarah was such an important part. I feel like the universe sent her to us....I'm getting emotional just writing this! read more

Sarah was absolutely perfect on our wedding day. She made all of our silly requests feel completely normal, and her delivery was great. The ceremony was intentionally pretty short, but she made it feel special. We could tell she put a lot into learning about who we are as a couple, so that she could really deliver on why we worked so well. She did everything we asked, never got in the way or felt overbearing, and was overall just very easy-going and pleasant. I would definitely recommend her for any ceremony, as she's a crowd pleaser and a thrill to work with. read more

Sarah was absolutely amazing to work with. She made us feel very comfortable and guided us, as we went through the ceremony planning process. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful wedding ceremony. It was very personal and perfect in every way! read more

Sarah was great to work with and really prompt to respond all through our process. She made time to meet with us before our wedding, and even continued to work with us through her summer vacation. She and her resources were very helpful in crafting the perfect ceremony for my fiancé and I. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant. read more

My husband and I agree that Sarah was the perfect choice for our wedding. She went above and beyond, helping us craft the vows and ceremony that were perfect for us. On the day of the event, she assumed the role of traffic cop, making sure people were where they should be and did what they were supposed to. And she gathered facts about my fiance and I and crafted a beautiful couple story that she told during the ceremony. I can't recommend her enough! read more

We originally found Sarah on a blog and we just loved how she delivered the script! We live in Houston and was making a trip to our venue in Austin and she made time to meet us for coffee so she could introduce herself to us! She kindly went over her process and delivered a lot of go-by material to get us started! Sarah was the perfect person to officiate our wedding. She is very professional, very easy to talk to, and we couldn't be happier! read more

My husband and I are were so pleased to have Sarah Reed as our officiant this past October! Sarah is very accessible and easy to work with- she gently carried us along in creating the perfect ceremony over the course of three months. On our wedding day, it couldn't have been better, and we had so many compliments are the ceremony from friends and family. Sarah is very organized and prompt in all her responses, and will guide you in creating your perfect wedding ceremony. She managed to make this part of our wedding completely stress free, which is invaluable! If you are getting married and need an amazing officiant, Sarah is your person!!! read more

Planning a wedding, even a small one like ours, can be daunting. When Adrian and I first met with Sarah, she immediately put us at ease. She has a calm, friendly personality and she's just cool! My husband and I didn't want a big to-do and Sarah totally delivered. We weren't interested in writing our own vows as it just seemed far too overwhelming for us. Sarah gave us examples of vows and a guideline of how the ceremony should flow. We were able to pick and choose what we wanted for the intro, exchanging of our vows, ring exchange, and closing that were able to make them our own without having to write them from scratch. We had less than 25 guests meet us at the gazebo at Wooldridge Park downtown next to the old court house. The fact that we had reserved the entire park for that afternoon and the city let a group of people spread stinky fertilizer all over the lawn just minutes before combined with the humidity that flattened my hair, it was still a perfect day. Sarah met us there exactly when she said she would and performed our short and sweet ceremony. We had There is a Light That Never Goes Out by The Smiths playing in the background and it was wonderful. What I appreciated most about Sarah is that she never once pressured us into something we didn't want. She is very professional and offers advice but totally allows you to have your day the way you want it. And that's the way it should be. Sarah is awesome! read more

Sarah was wonderful! We are so happy that we had her officiate our wedding. She was kind, considerate, and organized, and she wanted to make sure that we had the exact ceremony that we wanted. What attracted me to her when we first met was how well she spoke, her conversational ease, and how quick-witted she was. She seemed like she could handle anything that came her way. She had so many resources to help us make the ceremony fit with us. It was a very beautiful ceremony and flowed seamlessly. Thanks Sarah!! read more

Sarah was so professional. She spent time to meet with us before we chose her. She was a great help to guide us to a perfect wedding and provided a wealth of templates to give us ideas to select from. Sarah has such a positive attitude and is easy going, and that was so important to us. She was wonderful to work with and always responsive. She even helped herd our guests to the ceremony area when it was time. Our ceremony was fun, relaxed, and just perfect. Our guests genuinely enjoyed it as well. Thank you Sarah!!! read more

Thank you for being such a wonderful person and a great officiant. You wrangled a total of 13 people with speaking parts (including you and us), helped plan the ceremony, communicated our expectations and deadlines with everyone, helped when we had writer's block, then massaged it all so everything felt cohesive and meaningful. Of all the vendors we worked with, you were easily our favorite. We had a lot of people comment that it was the best ceremony they had witnessed and that they definitely felt like they were part of it. You went above and beyond for us and made it more than the best night of my life. You really made our dream come true. read more

We absolutely loved having Sarah officiate our wedding. She brought the right amount of seriousness and coupled it with her fun-loving attitude and our personality and character. She's calm - just the person you want standing up there with you and your soon-to-be husband or wife when you're nervous on the biggest day of your life. She has a wonderful speaking voice and kept our friends and family engaged through the ceremony - check out some of her videos and you'll see what I mean. It was short and sweet (how we had planned for it to be) and I can't think of a single thing I would change. Thank you so much Sarah! read more

My wife and I could not have chosen a better officiant. Sarah helped us craft the perfect ceremony for our small wedding. From our first email all the way through celebratory hugs after our ceremony, Sarah made everything so easy and fun. She provided a wealth of helpful tips and tricks, including wonderful vendor recommendations and *tons* of possibilities for ceremony components. Whether your wedding will be tiny or have 1,000 guests, choose Sarah! She'll make your day truly special. read more

When planning a ceremony for a wedding, the options can be incredibly overwhelming. After just our first call with Sarah, my wife and I knew we were going to be in great hands. She was able to guide us based on her experience and professionalism while providing an excellent array of curated options that suited the style of ceremony we wanted. She didn't even flinch when we asked her to have the attendees give a hearty Battlestar Galactica "So Say We All" in the middle of the proceedings. I can't recommend her highly enough! Thank you, Sarah!! read more

Sarah was the perfect officiant for my husband and I! We were looking for a very low key wedding without a bunch of hooplas. I am not the most organized person and neither is my husband, so having Sarah remind us of little things without being pushy was perfect. I very much appreciated the follow up emails, constantly offering advice or help and her overall patience with the whole process. Who knew picking ceremony vows was so intense? Both my husband and I were not looking for a super religious ceremony and Sarah had all kinds of amazing pieces of ceremony ideas to put together something that was special for us. My husband and I had both been in numerous friends weddings before and felt like we already knew the gist of walking down an aisle but Sarah really put together the missing pieces moments leading up. Sarah greeted me at my changing room after running very late (hair and makeup issues) and was very patient and helpful. I had numerous family and friends come up and give compliments about Sarah and we couldn't be happier. Thank you so much for such a memorable ceremony! I would highly recommend Sarah Reed Let's Do It Vows!! read more
