Welcome and congratulations on your engagement! You are in the right place if you are:

  • Planning an elopement or wedding in the Piedmont Triad of NC

  • Envisioning a ceremony that is warm, meaningful, and tailored to your love story

I am pleased to offer you my services as an experienced celebrant. Weddings and elopements are incredibly life-affirming to officiate - I cannot wait to collaborate with you on yours!

Sara Maria Vesta is a Life-Cycle Celebrant and LGBTQ-affirming interfaith minister based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Sara received a Master of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School and completed her officiant training through the Celebrant Foundation & Institute. Since 2021, Sara has created custom elopement and wedding ceremonies for a diverse range of couples. She is especially enthusiastic about serving those who might identify as interfaith, atheist, agnostic, “spiritual but not religious”, or who are otherwise untethered to a religious community.
