About Lead Your Love Life

Sarah Melissa Oswald

Wedding Officiant & Relationship Coach

I’m Sarah Melissa Oswald, a wedding officiant and relationship coach. Since 2016, I’ve had the joy of officiating over 120 weddings. I create ceremonies that feel deeply personal, alive, and unmistakably you—with warmth, sincerity, humor, and plenty of heart. I want to understand what you love about each other, what makes your partnership work, and what marriage means to you. By your wedding day, my hope is that I don’t feel like an officiant you hired from the internet. I want your guests wondering which one of you I’ve known for years.

When I write a ceremony, I’m not only thinking about the two people standing in front of me. I’m thinking about everyone sitting behind them, too. I believe we gather our people to witness our promises—and to support the marriage that follows. Depending on your package, I invite loved ones to share stories and reflections that I weave into your ceremony, and I often invite guests to make a community vow of their own. As a relationship coach, I care about more than creating a beautiful wedding moment -- I care about the life you’re building together.

In three words: Collaborative, Nurturing, Thoughtful

    Sarahs’s vast knowledge and skill set allows her to meet anyone where they are and to adapt to her clients and offer them skills and healing they need to grow and show up in ways they didn’t know possible!

    Thank you so much for these kind words, Aaron. It means a lot to hear that the work has helped you grow and show up in new ways. That is exactly the heart of this work—meeting people where they are, helping them find what is already within them, and supporting real, lasting change. I’m so grateful you shared this.

    Having Sarah officiate our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. She made the entire process feel seamless and took all the pressure off us (and anyone who’s planned a wedding knows how much pressure there can be!). Everything felt effortless on our part because of her thoughtful preparation and calm presence. We chose Sarah not just because she’s family, but because she truly knows us. She’s seen our relationship grow from the very beginning, and that made the ceremony feel deeply personal and authentic. I also knew from her past work that she crafts ceremonies that are incredibly meaningful and sentimental, even for couples she’s just met. That level of care and personalization was exactly what we wanted for our day. One thing that surprised and delighted me was how prepared she was with materials, templates, and ideas. I had no idea where to start, and Sarah made it so easy to find the words and structure that felt right for us. I’d absolutely recommend Sarah to any couple looking for an officiant. She’s one of the kindest, most genuine people I know, and she brings a beautiful mix of love, warmth, and free-spirited energy that set the perfect tone for our ceremony.

    Reading this touches me. Thank you, Helen. It was such an honor (and such a joy!) to stand with you and Ross on your wedding day. Getting to celebrate a relationship I’ve watched grow from its inception into marriage was incredibly special. Thank you for your kind words, and for trusting me to help shape such a meaningful moment in your lives. Your day was pure magic—warm, real, and full of heart. I’ll always cherish being part of it.

    I'm lucky to know Sarah personally, so when it came time to plan my wedding, there was no doubt that I wanted her to officiate for us. We didn't want a cookie cutter wedding and working with Sarah to craft a one of a kind ceremony was wonderful. We truly felt the love of our whole community thanks to Sarah and so many guests complimented us on how unique and special the ceremony was. There were lots of laughs, a few tears, and overall just the best ceremony we could have asked for!

    Thanks so much for sharing this, Emily! I am beyond thrilled to have been asked to officiate for you and DJ. I have loved you since the moment you were born, and now love DJ as part of my family, too. Can't wait to see you both again! Thank you for giving me the honor of helping you two tie the knot.

    Working with Sarah to organize our wedding ceremony was excellent. Her experience and understanding of the flow, and tailoring the ceremony to match our plans worked perfectly for us. She makes a large effort to get to the bride and groom understand what brings them together and weaves a lovely story that is sweet and personal. She is responsive, quick to make adjustments to the script as it is developed, well organized and completely reliable. We would certainly recommend her officiating service to anyone without hesitation.

I felt I really got to experience how and why your partnership works so well. I love the way you balance one another. Sending my very best to you now and always!

    Sarah Oswald is one of those rare, deeply intuitive souls who doesn’t just show up for life’s big moments—she elevates them. As my wedding officiant, she wasn’t just there to recite words; she tapped into the emotional core of the day, making every word she spoke feel personal, grounded, and unforgettable. She has an incredible ability to tune in to people’s emotions with almost uncanny precision, which makes her not only an extraordinary officiant but also a steadfast friend. Long after the wedding, Sarah continues to be a source of unwavering emotional support and insight. She offers gentle, wise guidance that helps me maintain healthy, meaningful relationships, and she never hesitates to show up when I need a shoulder—or a reality check. She listens without judgment, speaks with compassion, and supports with strength. Having Sarah in my life feels like having a lighthouse in the fog—steady, bright, and always guiding me back to what matters most. If you have the chance to work with her, lean on her, or simply know her, count yourself lucky. I certainly do.

    Oh Ingrid, this is so incredibly touching. Thank you SO MUCH. Your wedding was my very first back in 2016. Your request of me to officiate for you and Miguel set me off on a career filled with love and joy-- and I have gone on to officiate over 120 weddings. I can't thank you enough for being with me since the start, and for this inspirational reflection. I love you always.


I officiated my first ceremony for friends in 2016, and it quickly became clear that this was something I absolutely loved doing. More than 120 weddings later, I still feel genuinely lucky every time a couple invites me into such an intimate and joyful moment in their lives. My work as a relationship coach has only deepened my love of helping couples celebrate—and intentionally create—their partnership.
I’ve officiated more than 120 weddings since 2016, from intimate ceremonies with just the couple to larger celebrations surrounded by family and friends. And after 120+ ceremonies, I still don’t want yours to sound like anyone else’s. My job isn’t to fit you into my ceremony. It’s to create a ceremony that fits you.
Absolutely. I live for it! We’ll talk about your relationship, your values, your sense of humor, what marriage means to you, and which traditions you want to keep—or happily throw out. Depending on your package, I can also gather stories and reflections from your loved ones and weave them into the ceremony. Heartfelt, funny, spiritual-but-not-religious, unconventional, traditional-ish…it’s your wedding. The goal is for your guests to leave saying, “That was SO them.”
I offer premarital relationship coaching, but don’t require it. As a relationship coach certified in Relational Life Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and MatrixWorks, I can help you use this moment to prepare intentionally for the marriage that follows the wedding. We’ll explore communication, the patterns you create together, and the life you’re building. Your wedding lasts a day. I’m pretty invested in what happens between the two of you afterward.
Absolutely. The legal paperwork and the ceremony are two different things. If you’ve already handled the legal part, we can focus entirely on creating the experience you want with the people you love. To me, there’s something powerful about standing in front of your community and saying, in whatever words feels true to you: This is my person. These are the promises we’re making. This is the life we’re choosing together.
Yes! I can direct your rehearsal as an add-on to your ceremony package. We’ll make sure everyone knows where they’re going, when they’re moving, and what to expect so nobody has to figure it out while walking down the aisle in front of everyone they know. If your planner or venue is directing the rehearsal instead, I’m happy to coordinate with them so we’re all working from the same plan.
