Weddings by Sandy

Sandy Queen was amazing! She helped put together a ceremony that was absolutely perfect in every way! We wanted a unique and personal ceremony that was joyful and lighthearted, but that would still be very loving and reflect personalities. She was very efficent and professional, but we felt that we had met a new friend. She worked beautifully together with the banquet coordinator at the wedding venue and with the DJ for timing music and sound so that everything was totally seamless and as beautiful and memorable as we had hoped!

Sandy was great all the way till the end, answered all my questions and concerns even after the wedding. Would recommend her to everyone :).

Sandy was great! She allowed us to write our entire ceremony, keep our sanity during Hurricane Irene and lit our candles around the Tannery while the catering team was prepping the salads.

She has a story-telling voice and captured our love for one another in the readings causing tears and laughter during our special day.

Thank you so much!

Hillary Stishan, an associate of Weddings by Sandy did a fabulous job with our ceremony! From the first meeting she was great—and one of the few vendors that offered to come meet with us at a place of our convenience, which means a lot to a busy bride! She was very easy to work with, and we were able to easily go back and forth through email to create the perfect ceremony. We got so many complements from guests about how beautiful the ceremony was. I would absolutely recommend her!

Sandy Bearden is a WONDEFUL officiant if you're going non-denominational. A few words to describe her: flexible, honest, professional, intelligent, funny, genuine, and personable. Sandy, my husband, and I clicked immediately at our first meeting. She gave us such sound advice that personalizing our ceremony/vows was a piece of cake! Sandy never once pushed anything on us, but provided timely feedback. I'm pretty sure that most of the reason why our ceremony turned out to be absolutely stunning and memorable is because of Sandy Bearden!

Hillary is AMAZING. I simply adore her. My husband and I wanted to customize our ceremony and she was so patient with us and walked us through everything. I couldn't have asked for someone better!

She was super responsive! She always returned my emails and made sure I stuck to my timeline. She was extremely flexible, as we did a interfaith ceremony and her professionalism was excellent! Thank you Hillary!

Sandy was absolutely AMAZING! I would recommend her to ANYONE and EVERYONE! She helped us make our day so so so special.

Sandy was amazing. From our first planning meeting we knew she would deliver the exact ceremony we had in mind for our wedding. Neither of us are religious but we still wanted an intimate and romantic wedding with a touch of humor. Sandy provided us with with a guide that really helped us put our vows and ceremony together. We received many compliments. Thank you, Sandy!

We were able to make a ceremony that truly reflected us... It was beautiful and unique which is what we were looking for. Sandy is a wonderful speaker and keeps the entire process stress free.

Rev. Sandy brought some great ideas and marvelous wording to express the way we feel for each other, family, and friends. She did a great job.

Sandy was amazing! She gave us a great ceremony ideas booklet from which with mixed and matched pieces of ceremonies to create our own. She was always available to answer our questions and was flexible and forgiving when I (the bride) missed my own wedding rehearsal! On the day of, she was well prepared and performed a thoughtful ceremony. Afterward, she gave us a bound copy of our ceremony as a keepsake. She was wonderful to work with and provides superb service at more than reasonable cost!

Sandy was wonderful! She had tissues on hand when I started to cry, she was professional and sincere in every aspect. She was flexable with our schedule when it came to the meeting and preparation for the ceremony.Her ceremony book is full of idea's for those of us who can't always find the right words to say. Sandy is by far the best wedding officiant!

Rev. Sandy was truly spectacular!!! From the time we met her to the time she married us- she was truly wonderful. We were quite upset that we did not get to get married in our Catholic Church (long story with times with our venue) but Rev. Sandy made our wedding so wonderful that honestly we didn't even think about it again. Thank you Sandy for all of your hard work and dedication, we will never forget you! We will refer you to everyone we know and please feel free to use us as a referral.

Sandy was very professional. She was very organized and made our ceremony flow without any glitches. She was even nice enough to lend her ring when our best man forgot the wedding bands for the ceremony! It was easy to put our ceremony together thanks to her ceremony booklet that breaks everything down. This made it a little less stressful since we didnt know what was supposed to happen and in what order. At the end of it all, we got a booklet with a copy of the entire ceremony that was used on the wedding day for our memories! Thank you Sandy for everything!!!

Sandy's Wedding Book really helped me put together a wonderful ceremony. She is a consummate professional and a delightful person. She ran the wedding rehearsal and ceremony very smoothly. I recommend her to any bride and groom but particularly to those looking for a non-traditional wedding.

Sandy is awesome!! She is so professional and put together. She cares about people and wants to get to know her bride and groom before the ceremony. We have nothing but positive things to say about her. We had so much autonomy, but could always get her feedback. The day of our wedding was beautiful and she contributed to that. We received so much positive feedback from our guests.

Sandy was GREAT! She was so easy to talk to and very personable. Her variety of sample wedding vows really helped us develop exactly what we wanted in the ceremony! She was very responsive and had quick, efficient service. I love her open mind - that is what love is about!

Sandy was a joy to work with. She was very flexible and willing to design a ceremony that fit our specifications. She's very friendly and responsible.

Sandy was wonderful. She worked with us to help us select and customize the ceremony. She was absolutely professional and worked around the many details and requirements of the wedding. We highly recommend her services.

Sandra was very professional and sincere. We had a very unresponsive offiicant booked at first and decided to go our separate ways. Sandra was so caring and kind. She understood all of my wacky requests. On the wedding day, she made the ceremony so pleasany even though there was a hiccup with the speakers. She was so pleasant. I would totally recommend her for any wedding ceremony!

Sandy is great. I loved her. She is so patient and understanding. She is so responsive and flexible. I had so many changes and she did not mind. We even had a last mintue change and she changed it with a smile! Love her!!!!

My husband and I met with Sandy for the first time and told her exactly what we wanted and what order we wanted our ceremony to flow - and she did just that. We got our rough copy of our vows via email in less than one week after our first meeting. Sandy, is very preciseand gives thoughtful suggestions to suit each couple.

I also purchase some jewerly (bracelets) from her to give to my girls for their gift. The bracelets were spectular and match their dresses perfectly.

Hello,

I found Sandy in our local phonebook and her services were outstanding. I had called around to so many people and no one was available and then I found my Angel (Sandy) and she was ready to go as soon as possible. The ceremony was put together well and we will highly recommend Sandy to anyone.

Sandy was fantastic! After meeting with a few prospects for officiants, we had not found the "right" person yet. Sandy was professional, warm, and well-spoken - we booked her at the end of our first meeting. We met with her once more before our wedding day, and she worked with us via email through several drafts of our ceremony, until it was perfect. We were very pleased with her services, and also received many compliments from guests on what a great officiant she was.

Sandy did a great job with our wedding ceremony! When we first met with her she was well prepared to walk us through all of the different options for our day. She met us at a convenient location and was prompt for our first meeting, rehearsal, and wedding day. She gave us great ideas to chose from and allowed us to choose our own ideas to make our day exactly how we wanted it to be. The day of the wedding she had everything we needed in a book just for us that we were able to keep and have as a memento. We would recommend Sandy to any couple who is looking for a great officiant.

Sandy was absolutely wonderful. Everybody at the wedding commented on how beautiful the ceremony was. She was 110% prepared and conducted the ceremony in a stately and professional but not stiff or officious way. Couldn't have been more perfect. Thanks, Sandy!!

Sandy was very professional and friendly at the same time... even two hours before the wedding, she was willing to work on a food blessing... She is just understanding, flexible and great at her job. My highest recommendations..

She was very personable, yet professional. She handled our interfaith wedding well (even with our parents as tense as they were). I received non-stop compliments on her performance of our ceremony. She made me feel very at ease during my big moment and the ceremony was absolutely PERFECT!

Sandy is professional, friendly and very easy to work with. Even if you just need someone to talk to or bounce ideas off of, she's always there for you. She has great cereony ideas and is well prepared to help you plan your perfect day. I recommend Weddings by Sandy to every bride.

Sandy was great to work with. From the first time we met her, writing our vows, the rehearsal, and then performing our ceremony; she was great! SHe knew how to lighten the moment when things didn't go smoothly (trying to put the rings in the bridal set together.) I would recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant.

Sandy was great! She had a wealth of resources for me and my (now) husband to look through, but she was always receptive to incorporating our original ideas. She was understanding, even when we changed our venue to someplace three hours away! She was always a professional, supportive, pragmatic force in an otherwise chaotic process. I highly recommend her services. We were both very happy to have Sandy as our officiant.

We loved working with Sandy! We loved how she lets you create you whole wedding ceremony exactly the way you want it. We got many complements afterwords about how lovely the ceremony was. She was early to the wedding venue and help make sure everything was in order, and she was also very prompt on emails, phone calls, etc. We enjoyed working with her and will recommend her!!
Thank you sandy!

My husband had only one problem with the services. He felt hurried along. Turned out that the officiant didn't leave enough time between our wedding and the one after ours. She sent a couple people to come find me and see if I was on my way yet. I myself felt hurried, but that was because the wedding was at 1pm and I was trying to be on time without someone keeping track of the time. I later found out after the ceremony what all had happened. Other than that small issue, the services were excellent. She made the ceremony about me, my husband, and our family. It was beautiful and very personable. The verses were absolutely perfect! I would definately recommend Sandy to other people. I just hope that if she plans more than one wedding on the same day, that she at least warns them the day before so they better plan there day.

There are definite pluses here. The ceremony booklet is great. You can choose and customize your own ceremony. Our wedding was wonderful and the ceremony we chose was great. I had a fairytale wedding and Sandy did help make that happen. She is very organized and has great ideas for all types of weddings. She was friendly and accommodating for the most part.

We love Rev. Sandy and the network of weddings professionals at Weddings by Sandy!

Sandy is the perfect choice for your ceremony. We love working with her at weddings and appreciate her professionalism. We highly recommend her!

Sandy is a complete joy to work with! Her warm style and personal touch always reflects the bride and groom's personalities. A true professional! Sandy is the best!

Rev. Sandra Bearden of Weddings by Sandy was my wedding officiant. She did a fabulous job and I would recommend her to anyone who wants a ceremony their way. She has a book of poems, rituals, vows, sample wedding ceremonies that really helps you to create a wedding ceremony that's meaningful and personal. Jennifer Garcia

You cannot go wrong with Weddings by Sandy!! :)

I was very impressed with Sandy's professionalism and passion for weddings. She definitely loves what she does, and it shows. Sandy takes the time to meet with each couple and create a completely customized ceremony, from start to finish. Whether you want religious or non-religious, traditional or non-traditional, Sandy will make sure that your ceremony is everything you've dreamed it would be. I've enjoyed working with Sandy, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a unique, personalized, memorable wedding ceremony.

Not only do I recommend Sandy to my clients I also hired her to perform my father's wedding ceremony this past year. She totally came through for us at the last minute with many late night calls and we were able to have a beautiful ceremony.

Sandy and her team are all very professional and will sit down with you to give you the spiritual experience that you desire. Highly recommend!

Rev Sandy sent me a couple and got me started on my way to becoming a good Wedding Officiant. She is always willing to give advice to other Wedding Officiants.
Thanks for all of your help.
Rev Maggie

Not only do I enjoy working with Sandy, I feel very confident when I give her a recommendation. I've had numerous clients utilize her services, and many more try (although she was already booked). She personalizes your wedding ceremony and definitely makes the guests feel as though she's known the bride and groom for many years.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your network. We look forward to building a beautiful relationship with you in the near future! JB Yong Photographer - www.SweetDreamsStudio.com

Sandy at Wedding by Sandy was the officiant at a wedding we coordinated this summer! Also, this was the first officiant that prepared a ceremony idea booklet with the client which I thought was a great help with the ceremony to help the rehearsal and ceremony run smoother. Thanks Sandy!

I partially planned and coordinated a wedding for a bride and groom who lost their officiant a couple months prior to the wedding. They chose Weddings by Sandy to perform their ceremony and Sandy stepped in and provided the ideal wedding ceremony for them. They were very happy with her service and so was I! Sandy has a great personality and works with the bride and groom to give them their very own personalized ceremony. I recommend her for any bride and groom who are looking for an officiant to perform their ceremony.

I have been in contact with Sandy through our mutual membership in the My Heart is Yours Ministry. Through our conversations, I've always found her to be thoughtful, knowledgeable and open-minded and I'm happy to endorse her and her services!

Sandy has been an associate for some time now. Her warmth and attention to providing assistance with creating couples wedding ceremonies has given me joy. I highly recommend requesting Sandy for your wedding day!

Weddings by Sandy is one of the BEST officiates that I have ever worked with in my career. Sandy is a doll and was very accomodating to my couple. I was very organized and provided a copy of the ceremony language to give my couple a feel for how the ceremony would go. She was also excellent at adapting to last minutes changes due to inclement weather. I love Weddings by Sandy and you should definetly use them for your next event!

We love working with Sandy! Wonderful, customized ceremonies with warmth and personality. If you are planning a ceremony outside your usual place of worship, talk to Sandy ~ she's just terrific!

Sandy Bearden is a very personable, multi-talented, patient and professional person, who I had the pleasure of meeting and working closely with in March 2008 at a Women’s Entrepreneurial Expo. Sandy provided me with a wealth of information pertaining to the various ceremonies that she conducts and detailed steps as to how to customize your wedding vows (which is very beneficial to my clients). To put the icing on the cake, Sandy conducted an actual ceremony at the Expo, which was truly a huge treat for fellow exhibitors and visitors.

I look forward to working with Sandy in future and I would recommend Weddings by Sandy to any of my clients who require her services for their special soirée!

Fantastic Professional to work with. Keeps you utmost in mind. Caring, sharing and a great listener. A must at every wedding!

She is a caring person, who will work hard to make your ceremony everything you want it to be. I have no hesitations about recommending her to all of my clients.
