About Lead Your Love Life

Sarah Melissa Oswald

Wedding Officiant & Relationship Coach

Your wedding ceremony should feel as extraordinary as the love that brought you here. Imagine your favorite people laughing, tearing up, and leaning into every word. A ceremony that feels unmistakably YOU—full of warmth, personality, meaningful promises, and the stories that make your relationship one of a kind. I’m Sarah, a Boulder-based wedding officiant and certified relationship coach. Since 2016, I’ve had the joy of officiating more than 120 weddings, and I’ve learned that the most unforgettable ceremonies aren’t necessarily the most elaborate. They’re the ones that feel deeply personal, authentic, and alive. I’d love to help you create a ceremony that celebrates the love you’ve built and the marriage you’re beginning.

I’m not just here to officiate your wedding. I’m here to help you create a meaningful experience of connection. I take the time to genuinely get to know you, weaving your personalities, values, humor, and love story into a ceremony that feels natural and deeply personal. My goal? To leave your guests wondering which one of you I’ve known for years. As a certified relationship coach, I also offer premarital coaching to help you begin your marriage with greater understanding, connection, and intention. And I love finding creative ways to involve your community, making your ceremony a celebration of everyone who helped bring you here.

In three words: Collaborative, Nurturing, Thoughtful

    We couldn't have asked for a better officiant than Sarah! From the very beginning, she was incredibly welcoming, accepting, and genuinely invested in making our wedding ceremony feel personal and meaningful to us. She provided so much helpful guidance throughout the planning process, especially when it came to creating our vows and deciding how to put together a ceremony that truly reflected who we are as a couple. She made the entire process feel comfortable and stress-free while still giving us the freedom to make everything our own. What really stood out to us was how much she genuinely cared, not just leading up to the wedding, but during and even after the ceremony. Since we live out of state, she even went out of her way to take care of dropping off our marriage license for us, which was one less thing we had to worry about! We're incredibly grateful for all the time, care, and support Sarah gave us throughout the entire experience. Having her there to guide us through such an important day meant a lot, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant who is kind, inclusive, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about the couples she works with!

    Sam and Jon, thank you so much for your beautiful words! It was such a pleasure getting to know you both and helping you create a wedding ceremony that truly reflected your relationship, your personalities, and the love you share. I believe the most meaningful ceremonies are the ones that feel unmistakably like the couple standing at the altar, and it was a joy bringing yours to life. Thank you for trusting me with such an important moment in your lives. Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter, and wonderful adventures together!

    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.

    Anna and Will, thank you so much for this thoughtful review of our time together! I was so touched witnessing your love for one another during your ceremony. 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!


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.
