Wedding Presents & Wedding Presence

I love making gifts to my couples in honor of their new marriage. There is always something in their biography that speaks to me. Today I officiated a wedding for two for whom hiking had become a favorite activity. In fact their proposal story took place in the stunning Joshua Tree National Park in California. The proposal was not without hiccups, but intention was expressed for future hikes in their new marriage. As I prepared for their wedding in Central Park, I stopped by Shakespeare & Company, the bookstore of CUNY’s Hunter College. In my mad dash, I headed to the travel section to find this perfect “bucket list” book published by National Geographic. I wish them many happy trails!

Welcome

Whether your wedding is an impromptu affair or has been months, or even years, in the making, I want to help you fashion a ceremony that reflects your history, philosophy, creativity, personality, and style – as individuals and as a couple.

Let’s craft a wonderful, meaning-filled ceremony that expresses the most significant aspect of your lives…one that recognizes the profound commitment you are making, as well as the sheer joy of the occasion.

"Sarah was absolutely the most perfect combination of helping to create a wedding that was truly "us" while at the same time giving us a number of alternatives for dealings with some of the details that would otherwise have been bewildering. All of her recommendations were spot-on. She was just charming. She wove a number of elements together to create an event that surpassed our expectations."

"Sarah, was a wonderful gift from God to help perform our marriage ceremony. She so attentive to what we wanted and helped us plan our ceremony in Central Park in New York. We completely trusted her and she gave excellent advice and ideas she had for our ceremony. She listened to the important pieces that we wanted included and then worked her magic with the rest."

"Sarah Ritchie crafted a unique and exceptional ceremony, eschewing rote procedural tropes for a heartfelt and personalized experience that drew both laughter and tears from our friends and family. In a world of predictable and monotonous ceremonies, Sarah Ritchie is a breath of fresh air."

"There is not enough words to express my gratitude for service that Sarah provided for us on our special day. We will cherish these moments for years to come. The fact that you congratulated us in our 'first' language was a very pleasant surprise. My husband's parents who flew in just for our wedding were very impressed."
