“The Unity Sand Ceremony was a much nicer idea than other ceremonies because it’s something that we’ll always have. And the comments we got on the ceremony were unbelievable. People, including the bishop, thought that it was just awesome.”

Linda Bain, Prince Edward Island, Canada

“I liked how many options there were and the ability to mix and match introductions, ceremonies and ALL the variations and the great pictures as examples.”

Bek Milne, Civil Marriage Celebrant, Perth, Western Australia

“After hours of looking at individual websites with info on the sand ceremony and trying to piece it together to create one of my own for an upcoming wedding, I was able to look at your table of contents, go to the pages I needed and have the ceremony for this couple ready to present to them for approval in about 10 minutes. They loved what I chose to say and which way I chose to include their children in the ceremony.”

Rev. Helen Emberly, Rohnert Park, California

“This was such a great help for all of us. Our officiant didn’t have much experience with the sand ceremony itself. And your book helped a great deal by providing several sample introductions to choose from. It also really eased our minds knowing the order for which things should happen as well as the most appropriate vows for us to say during the ceremony.”

Tonya Hayden, Alpharetta, Georgia

“The outline and suggestions about the ceremony and the wording were very helpful. It made it easy to involve my friends and family. And the suggested words for use in the other parts of the ceremony was another major benefit I really appreciated.”

Dawn Streett, Alberton, Montana

“I appreciated all the varieties of vows. Was very helpful in planning the ceremony I’m creating.”

Caryn Aman, Celebrant, Portland, Oregon

“I used Sand, Sound and Soul to help me as an officiant at a wedding where the couple wanted to incorporate the
Unity Sand ceremony. It’s lovely to have something new and original that’s individual to each bridal couple, plus the ability for other members of the family to participate too. Also, the couple really appreciated having a permanent “sand memorial” which they can keep for their anniversary.”

Marilyn Wardell, Justice of the Peace, Milford, Connecticut

“The bride and groom needed guidance on how the sand ceremony works. I used your book for reference and it was very helpful. We had the officiant read a couple paragraphs I pulled from the book as an explanation so the guests would understand the sand ceremony. If we had not done that, they would have done the ceremony in silence.”

“What I liked best was the background information on the ceremony for the person that (actually) performed the ceremony. It was also a great benefit to see the helpful wording of vows and when and how to incorporate the sand ceremony into the wedding.”

Rebecca Light, Virgina

“What I liked best about “Sand, Sound and Soul” was how appropriate the wording was and all the ideas that were provided. This is the only book I have found that provides vows for a variety of sand ceremonies. Because of the simplicity of all the explanations, I have complete confidence in any ceremony I officiate in the future.”
