Sabine B., officiante de cérémonie

Your wedding ceremony in Bordeaux,
across France and around the world

Bilingual ceremony officiant

What I do

A bespoke Secular Ceremony, shaped around your story

I help couples, in France and abroad, create a secular ceremony that truly reflects who they are: words written just for you, a ceremony designed down to the smallest detail, and a bilingual presence that puts your guests at ease, wherever in the world they come from.

Your legal wedding takes place at the mairie (town hall). The ceremony I create is symbolic, and often the most personal part of the day.

A dual expertise
at your service

After several years as a wedding planner, then as a secular ceremony officiant, I chose to support expat couples in France and abroad: couples for whom planning a wedding from a distance, sometimes in a language that isn’t their own, can quickly become a real headache.

Having lived in both France and the United States, I understand what it’s like to move between cultures, and I create a moment that speaks as much to your family as to your partner’s.

Sabine was the officiante for my sister wedding . She was extremely professional . She knew when to add a personal touch from being attentive to the need of the bride and groom to bringing a cheeky smile for the guest during the ceremony. Thanks again for all your services .

Difficile de résumé notre satisfaction en un commentaire mais vraiment nous recommandons Sabine les yeux fermées ! Elle a su s’adapter à nous, personnaliser son discours en fonction de notre histoire, cerner nos caractères. Elle a su trouver un rituel qui nous représentait, mélangeant notre région d’origine (la Gironde) et notre pays actuel (le Canada) ainsi que notre plaisir de manger ! C’est une personne humaine, attentive, attentionnée. Merci à toi d’avoir rendu notre cérémonie de mariage si spéciale ! 🥰

Sabine nous a accompagnés avec bienveillance et professionnalisme pendant plus d’un an et demi dans la préparation de notre cérémonie laïque. Grâce à son écoute et son expérience, elle a su créer une cérémonie à notre image, pleine d’émotion, d’humour et de justesse. Confier cette mission à une professionnelle comme elle a été l’une des meilleures décisions de notre mariage. Elle a su donner du sens à chaque moment et coordonner les interventions avec fluidité. Le résultat a largement dépassé nos attentes : c’était beau, fort, sincère… un vrai moment suspendu que nous n’oublierons jamais. Nos proches ont été unanimement conquis par le déroulé et la qualité de la cérémonie. Un immense merci à Sabine pour son talent, sa douceur et l’implication qu’elle a mise dans notre histoire.

Nous avons fait confiance à Sabine pour organiser et animer notre cérémonie laïc lors de notre mariage le 21 septembre 2024 et nous avons eu raison ! Elle a assurée un suivi tout le long de notre préparation pour peaufiner une cérémonie vraiment à notre image, pleine d’émotions et que nous avons vraiment adorés! Nous avons particulièrement appréciés le fait de ne pas connaître les détails en avance, ce qui nous a permis de pleinement profiter de la cérémonie le jour J! Les anecdotes et le récit étaient précis, bien orchestrés et la trame de la cérémonie excellente ! Merci Sabine pour ce travail !

An unforgettable ceremony thanks to Sabine

Sabine supported us with kindness and professionalism for more than a year and a half while we prepared our secular ceremony. Thanks to her attentiveness and experience, she created a ceremony that truly reflected us, full of emotion, laughter and just the right touch.
Entrusting this to a professional like her was one of the best decisions of our wedding. She gave meaning to every moment and coordinated each speaker seamlessly.
The result far exceeded our expectations: it was beautiful, powerful, sincere… a moment suspended in time that we will never forget.
Our loved ones were unanimously won over by the flow and the quality of the ceremony.
A huge thank you to Sabine for her talent, her gentleness and the care she put into our story.

A truly beautiful ceremony!

Sabine officiated our secular ceremony at Château Fengari on 31 August. We were delighted with Sabine, who guided us throughout the preparation and then on the day itself. She told our story perfectly, with emotion, in English and French during our bilingual ceremony. We loved it, and so did our guests.
Thank you Sabine for such a special ceremony!

The perfect ceremony!

Sabine understood us very quickly during our first conversations.
She supported us, reassured us and, above all, managed to retrace our story with emotion, simplicity, gentleness and laughter.
Our secular ceremony was exactly like us, and that’s thanks to her 🥰
You can trust her with your eyes closed.

True professionalism!!

We wanted to thank Sabine, without whom our secular ceremony would not have been what it was!
We were lucky enough to meet someone who is not only very professional in the quality of her work (regular contact with the couple, links, advice…) but also very caring and respectful.
Thank you for coming with us all the way to Guincho beach in Portugal, for a ceremony facing the sea.
The adventure is over for us, but you will always have a place in our thoughts, because you helped us celebrate one of the most important days of our lives: our wedding!
