Automation Blocks: Find and Replace Text in Sequence names (Or Premiere Natively)

I have a template premiere porject file that I use as a starting point for all of my wedding video edits. I have a collection of Sequences premade and named, ready to export. I have BRIDEANDGROOM in the text name of the Sequence. Right now I manually replace this BRIDEANDGROOM piece of text by typing out the couples name, Copy, highlight BRIDEANDGROOM, Paste to replace. This is a reptitive and tedious task at the start of every new wedding edit. 



Is there a way in Automation Blocks, or in Premiere natively, to "Find and Replace" text in the name of Sequences, similar to what can easily be done in a Microsoft Word document? Ideally, find "BRIDEANDGROM" everywhere it occurs in all of the project's Sequecnes, and replace with for example "Alice and Bob"

This sounds like the Project Setup Workflows of Automation Blocks are exactly what you need:

Just enter the name of your BRIDEANDGROM and the workflow will create a new folder for your project on your hardrive, copy the project template there and renameBRIDEANDGROM both on the folder and file names on your hard drive and on any project items inside your project.
