    A special soul

    Sophie met with us the day before the ceremony and got to know each other which was important in order to marry us. she was very accommodating, she also recommended Nancy who did a beautiful job photographing our wedding. So very reasonable and made us feel very much at ease and comfortable. Both very relatable and genuinely kind. God Blessed us on our day. Loved every minute of it.

    Very professional and courteous minister

    Rev. Sophie performed a perfect service for us on a hot sunny afternoon in Florida. She was very accommodating with timing, sermon content, setting expectations, and the wedding ceremony itself. I highly recommend her for any wedding, except Jewish or Catholic of course! Sophie is a very nice lady and easy to work with.

    Vow renewal

    Rev. Sofie is amazing! She performed our marriage ceremony on the beach 10 years ago and then our vow renewal last month. It rained all afternoon the day of the vow renewal she tried to wait it out with us but when it didn't stop she helped us find a pavilion with beach in the background. She made sure everything was what we wanted for the ceremony! Such as sweet lady!!

    I feel so blessed to be a part of your lives. I know you will continue to have a beautiful and fulfilling life together. Thank you.

    Rev. Sophie was wonderful!

    We had a beach wedding with 31 people in attendance. Booking everything on-line from Ohio, was nerve wracking, but from the moment we sat down and talked, we were so comfortable, and our minds were instantly put at ease! We couldn't have asked for a better person to preform our ceremony!

    A Beautiful Ceremony

    Susan (Sophie) was a godsend to our ceremony. She was professional, helpful, and delivered the perfect ceremony. We wrote and assembled our vows with her help, and included her favorite "sand ceremony" as a part of the wedding.

    Loved being with you both on your special day! You are just so perfect for each other. I wish you love and peace always.

    Great Officiant!

    Sophie was fast, responsive, thorough, kind and professional right from the start! She had several ceremonies to choose from and then let us modify the one that best fit us. The ceremony was sweet and intimate with just 3 of us on the beach in Siesta Key. Sophie went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was perfect; even taking pictures for us!

    Rev. Susan is one of a kind... a very special person and we feel so lucky to have found her last minute to officiate our wedding. I recommend meeting in advance to get to know her a little bit so that on your wedding date you will feel like she is a part of the family. She made our family feel very comfortable and special on this magical day.

    35 Years in the Making

    Rhonda and I dated in college. Then, life got in the way. 35 years later we found each other again. When we knew we were going to get married, EVERYTHING had to be perfect. The venue, the ceremony, and especially the officiant. Fortunately, everything was indeed perfect, the beach at LBK, the ceremony, and most importantly, Reverend Sophie. She helped me write the ceremony, answered all my questions, recommended a great photographer to capture our day, and even invited us into her home the day before our wedding. We could not have been more pleased. If you’re planning a wedding around Sarasota, Reverend Sophie will make sure your special day is perfect as well. Thank you, Reverend Sophie.! We’ll never forget you!

    We began the search for a wedding officiant about 4 months prior to our wedding date. We were immediately drawn to all the posts on Reverend Sophie's website. All the pictures and testimonials from people who had her conduct their ceremonies convinced us to contact her. We were so pleased that everything we had read about Reverend Sophie was absolutely true. She is genuinely interested in the people and does everything she can to make the event special. Once we actually met her two days before our wedding, we knew we had make the right choice. Planning a wedding that will take place in another state is definitely a stressful time. Reverend Sophie's kind nature and genuine interest in creating a memorable event was truly a blessing. We will always remember her and will recommend her highly to anyone considering getting married in the Sarasota area. Thank you Rev Sophie. You are now a part of our story! Sincerely, Rhonda and Keith.

    Revern Susan was such a easy person to work with. Being from the Washington DC area she was able to make everything easy for us and answer all questions. She also has a photographer that works with her and she was able to set that up as well for us. I would recommend Rev. Susan to anyone that is getting married in Siesta Key.

    Rev Sophie had us meet with her prior to our vows renewal service so she could get to know us. That made the service so much more personal. She made us feel like we were old friends. We were so happy how our 5 year wedding vow renewal service turned out, it was so special. She was such a pleasure to work with. We are going to call her for our
    10 year wedding anniversary. We would recommend her to other couples.
