Every Ceremony, Crafted for You

Las Vegas performs more weddings than anywhere in the country, and most of them take eleven minutes. If that is what you want, there are excellent chapels who do it well. This is for couples who want something else.

We write your ceremony with you. Before the day, we talk — about how you met, what you have already come through together, what you want said in front of the people you love, and just as importantly what you would rather not have said.

All couples are welcome here. Straight and same-sex, first marriages and fourth, interfaith couples, couples where one believes and one does not, couples whose families are complicated. None of that is a problem to be worked around. It is just who is getting married.

An Infant Dedication is a ceremony in which parents publicly commit to raising their child in faith — presenting their baby before God and, if gathered, before family and community. It is not a sacrament of salvation, but a covenant of intention: a promise to nurture, guide, and love this child in the way of faith.

The service is short, warm, and built entirely around your family. There is no membership requirement and no church affiliation needed. Godparents are welcome but not required. Siblings can take part. The ceremony can be held at your home, a park, a family gathering, or wherever feels right to you.

If you are not certain what you believe but you know you want your child blessed and your intentions spoken aloud, that is a perfectly honest place to begin. Minister Sauers will meet you where you are and shape a ceremony that reflects your family's faith — whatever form that takes.

Most couples spend more hours choosing flowers than talking about money. The wedding lasts an afternoon and the marriage is meant to last considerably longer, and the difference between couples who thrive and couples who struggle usually comes down to conversations they either had early or avoided.

This program is those conversations, guided. You begin with a validated relationship assessment — a questionnaire you each complete separately, which produces a detailed picture of where you already agree, where you differ, and where you may not yet realize you differ.

This is preparation, not therapy. Minister Sauers is a licensed Field Minister and a trained facilitator, not a licensed clinician. You do not have to be religious to do this — many couples who come to us are not, and the material works just as well without the faith component.

If you are reading this today, we are sorry. You are probably making a great many decisions on very little sleep. Here is what we can take off your hands.

We meet with your family first. Not to run through a form, but to hear about the person. What they were like. What they found funny. What they were proud of and never said so. That conversation is where the service comes from, and it is usually the first time since the death that a family has been able to sit and talk about the person rather than the arrangements.

No family is turned away because of cost. If paying for a service would mean choosing between the funeral and the rent, tell us. It will not change what we do or how carefully we do it, and it will not be mentioned again.

A vow renewal is a chance to look back on the journey you have shared — the years, the seasons, the hard chapters and the beautiful ones — and choose each other again with full knowledge of what that means.

Some couples renew their vows on a milestone anniversary. Others do it after a difficult period, as a way of recommitting and beginning again. Some simply want to celebrate their love with the people who matter most.

Whatever brings you to this moment, we will help you find words that honor both where you have been and where you are going.

Nursing home residents are among the most isolated people in our community. Many have outlived their closest friends. Family visits are less frequent than anyone intends. And the questions that come with age — about meaning, about what has been, about what comes next — often go unspoken simply because there is no one to speak them to.

Minister Sauers visits nursing home and assisted living residents in the Las Vegas valley to offer exactly that: someone to sit with, to pray with if that is welcome, to listen without rushing. He brings no agenda and no pressure. He comes because presence matters.

This service is offered free of charge, always. If you have a family member in a care facility who would benefit from a pastoral visit, or if you are a facility administrator looking for a chaplain to serve your residents, please reach out. No referral is needed.
