Hello there, and welcome!
My name is Sacha Jones ~ the founder and brains of the operation that is Sacha Jones Ceremonies.
I am an award winning Wedding Officiant; certified Lifecycle Celebrant; and Minister Director. I’m incredibly passionate about the Art & Magic of Ritual & Ceremony ~ marking life’s big milestones, as well the day to day moments.
It’s an honor to serve my beautiful clients ~ holding space through personalized ceremony, story telling and ritual. At the heart of all my ceremonies, you will find a lot of LOVE.
I officiate ceremonies of many kinds in New York City, Sullivan County, and much of the surrounding area. On occasion I have also been called to officiate ceremonies out of state and overseas.
I became interested in the concept of "celebrant" style ceremonies in early 2002, when my sister Toni and her fiancé Noah came to New York City from the UK with plans to elope. City Hall seemed somewhat impersonal, and because they were not members of a faith, wanted to stay away from religious institutions. They wanted to create a wedding that encompassed the spirit of them as a couple and to mark the moment with ritual and ceremony in a way that felt personal and playful.
We found someone to do the paperwork that day, but I felt called to create their ceremony ~ my very first. It was wonderful and truly embodied the two of them. We even had a parade!
A few years later, when my (now) husband Mike and I were getting married, we came up against the same scenario. Obviously I wasn't able to officiate our wedding, but we did design it, and to this day family and friends tell us it was the best, most intimate and unique wedding they've ever been to. This was incredibly inspiring and got the wheels in motion!
All of this led me, in 2009 to the Celebrant Foundation & Institute, where I studied "The Art and History of Ritual and Ceremony”, as well as "Weddings & Commitment Ceremonies” ~ and shortly thereafter, "Funerals and Memorials".
I became ordained as a non-denominational minister with the Universal Brotherhood and officially registered with the city and state of NY. I have since gone on to become a Minister Director, which means I am able to ordain others who are interested in becoming a minister.
Whether it is the celebration of the beginning of life, or the end; marriage or divorce; change of life; retirement or graduation from college; or a new home ~ marking these important milestones with ceremony is a beautiful thing. Ceremony and ritual help us transition from one chapter to another with so much more meaning.
A Lifecycle Celebrant who is trained in this art (and magic) can make this celebration look and feel exactly the way you envision.
And that is what I do.
I created Sacha Jones Ceremonies from the heart ~ every single ceremony I create and officiate is made with pure love. It’s such an honor to get to work closely with my clients in order to create something beautiful that reflects their love or life story.
I’m really looking forward to speaking with you and learning how I can best be of assistance in the planning of your milestone moment.
