Our friends/family are still raving about our ceremony!

Going with Shari for our ceremony was the best decision we made for our wedding! The ceremony is the most important part of the big day, and Shari lives by that! She is a professional, offering wedding expertise and ceremonial resources, consistently making recommendations and providing guidance -- yet, still allowing the couple to customize to their liking and make final decisions. We significantly downsized our wedding due to COVID and live-streamed the ceremony for our friends and family at home. Our loved ones are STILL raving that it was the best ceremony they have ever witnessed. It was professional, joyful, and had many personal touches. I highly suggest you select Shari for your ceremony!

Shari was fantastic! We have two pups that were wild at first and she was great as they sniffed her. Was easy and got to have the ceremony our way.

Ceremony at our home with our pups was exactly what we wanted. Shari was great with the pups and wrote wonderful vows that got us teary eyed.

Shari- you are amazing!!

I cannot thank Shari enough for being our officiant on our special day. Shari was very responsive, very kind and helpful. I had no idea where to begin on what I wanted to say or do but Shari sent over some examples that made the experience so much more easier then expected. If you are looking for someone that can make your ceremony as perfect as you want it to be Shari is your girl. Thank you again!

Excellent!

Shari did an excellent job to make our wedding ceremony a success! She provided large variations of wording options and ways to customize our ceremony to best fit our needs in advance (ie. including religious, non-religious wording options, different cultural special ceremonies, including children and/or parents in ceremony). She was very easy to get in touch with and flexible with our schedule. She calmed many nerves on rehearsal day and kept the bridal party on track as well. We were so happy with her work and kind and loving energy! Highly recommend to others!

Highly Recommend

Shari was a breath of fresh air for our wedding day! She is beyond professional and very easy to work with. We were both very nervous about our vows and she made us feel at ease, and calm throughout the ceremony! We had nothing but compliments about her from our guests.

So Informative and Friendly

Shari is awesome! We are so happy we picked her to officiate our wedding. She helped us so much to make the ceremony go smoothly. She was very informative about so many parts of the ceremony and was also the friendliest and funniest person ever! I couldn't even remember I was nervous before the ceremony started because she made me laugh too many times while we were doing our walk through! There were so many options to choose from for ceremony wording and she helped us out a lot with choosing what fit us best. We couldn't have picked a better officiant.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
