Cherise is the absolute best!

Cherise is WONDERFUL. From the get go she was so sweet and helpful. Before we booked her as our officiant we chatted on the phone, and I could tell right away from her personality that she would do an amazing job. She sent us some questionnaires to help get to know us and figure out what we would want to include in our ceremony. She also helped us know where to get our marriage license and what to expect with that process.

The day of our elopement we were running a bit behind schedule, but Cherise was super patient and understanding. The ceremony she put together was absolutely PERFECT, there was not a single word I would change. It included sweet tidbits about our relationship (and our cats), written sooo eloquently! I'm a wedding photographer so I attend a lot of ceremonies, but I have never heard a ceremony so well done as the one Cherise wrote for us. It was so beautiful and personal, it was so special to us. After our wedding day was over, my husband and I both said our ceremony was our favorite part of the day.

I can’t recommend her enough- book her, you will not be disappointed!

Dreams come true

Cherise was an absolute gem to work with! She really made it magical with less than a week to prep for us. She kept things well organized, choreographed and outright a dream come true. She was well organized, prompt and flexible. Being there for us when we needed to lean on her for guidance and input thru and thru. Would highly recommended Cherise to any couple out there!

Great Officiant!

My partner of 6 years and I decide to get married. We are both in our 70’s and just wanted something informal and easy. We looked online and found Cherise with Another One Ties the Knot. She offered a Sign and Celebrate ceremony that was exactly what we were looking for. She was so easy to work with and when the day came she did an amazing job. Even though she had not met us prior to the signing ceremony, the vows she read for us fit us so perfectly we were blown away. Her studio is very well done, is set up nicely for a small gathering of family/friends and great for photos. We enjoyed working with her and she made our special day all the more special. We highly recommend her as an officiant & would give her more stars if we could.

The best officiant!

Cherise was AMAZING! She went above and beyond and researched our Twin Peaks theme and added a quote from the best character on the show, it was a truly wonderful surprise. She made everything feel warm, fun, and cute. All of our guests said she was the best officiant they'd ever seen. Thanks again Cherise, you're the best!

The best there is

It's hard to put into words how incredible Cherise is. Working with her as our officiant was such a wonderful experience.

From the very beginning she was caring, thoughtful and made the process so incredibly easy. And it just kept getting better. The option to do private vows and shared vows before and during the ceremony made the day that much more special.

But wow, the love story she wrote and shared during the ceremony before our vows made both of us cry after reading it. It was as if she'd known us for years. It was simply beautiful. And her ability to connect with people is truly special, so to say she's the best is an understatement. Thank you Cherise for being a part of such an important and amazing day for Kathy and I. We'll always look back on our wedding day and say, Cherise is just awesome! Thank you!!!

Highly Recommend

Cherise was a true delight to work with and was an absolutely amazing officiant for our wedding. The planning process she went through with us was awesome, she listened to our questions and concerns and helped us craft the ceremony we wanted. We still hear from people who attended our wedding, praising the ceremony and how lovely it was. Cherise was simply awesome and helped shape a memory for both of us that we will hold closest to our hearts for the rest of our lives. We could not be more grateful for her work and are so happy with our decision to have her as our officiant.

100% kind. 100% professional.

Cherise's calm, professional attitude was apparent from the first time we talked on the phone. Later when our big day came, she showed up on time, prepared, organized, and smiling. We are thrilled that Cherise was (figuratively and actually) the center of our wedding ceremony!

Beautiful Personalized Words

Working with Cherise was an absolute pleasure. As a fellow wedding industry professional, it was super important to me to hire someone who I enjoy working with and this lady is IT!

The script was personalized, beautiful and spoke like the poet she is. Multiple guests commented on how wonderful her words were. We were also pleasantly surprised to receive the ceremony script on paper as memento to cherish and reflect on.

Cannot wait to work with her again in 2025 with our clients!

Eloping day super memorable!

Cherise was an absolute delight to work with as our wedding officiant. From our very first meeting, she put us at ease with her warm and welcoming personality. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and crafted a custom ceremony that perfectly captured our love story.

On the day of the wedding, Cherise arrived on-time and was a calming presence as we went through final preparations. Her delivery of our short ceremony was heartfelt.

We cannot recommend Cherise highly enough. She is a truly wonderful officiant who will make your wedding/elopement day that much more magical. Thank you, Cherise, for being such an integral part of our special day!
