Services and Ceremony Types
Weddings
Wedding ceremonies should reflect the beliefs, styles and personalities of the individuals. As your officiant, I'm here to create a custom ceremony that meets your unique needs.
Together, we will create a meaningful and memorable ceremony for your special day.
I offer seamless and cost-effective ceremony preparation. I take the stress out of planning with ceremony frameworks that we can use as a starting point--adding, editing and adapting to perfectly represent your love story.
When it comes to weddings, over the past 20 years I've done it all. From traditional to culturally or spiritually eclectic--I'm completely flexible and focused on your desires. And on the big day itself, my experienced, light-hearted demeanor will put you, your families and guests at ease.
Vow Renewals
Looking to celebrate your love by renewing your vows? Many couples want to look back at the love and memories they have shared--and set the stage for the joys of the future.
I help couples create personalized, meaningful vow renewal ceremonies to share with each other and the loved ones in their lives.
"Rev. Ed Sansbury has been a joy to work with. He has a wonderful friendly and warm personality and has been so helpful getting us prepared for the big day. He has met with us twice now to get to know us better so he can totally personalize our vow renewal." -Linda
Funerals
Planning a service to honor a loved one who has passed away is never easy. I work with families to plan funerals and memorial services that offer comfort to those in attendance while honoring the life of the deceased.
From religious to secular, in any setting, I'll work with you to honor and remember your loved one.
Services are based on input from family and friends and seek to include topics, interests and memories of the deceased.
Baby/Child Dedications
Adding children to your home is an exciting and challenging whirlwind. Many couples or individuals want to celebrate this milestone with a service of thanksgiving and acknowledgment.
It's often a service where parents or guardians commit to help their child/children become the best they can be. They can be small, intimate ceremonies or thrown open to extended family and friends.
For adoptive parents "gotcha day" celebrations can welcome their new arrival in a special way.
all are welcome. All are Loved.
I believe that love is love and perform ceremonies that cover the broad and diverse spectrum that is NC.
- Casual or formal
- Religious, non-denominational, or non-religious
- Scripture or poetry--or spontaneous words spoken from the heart
- Same-sex
- In a church, backyard or park--wherever you can imagine.
The ceremony will be tailored to your unique story and location.
