Lopez Wedding @ large overlook❤️🤵🏽‍♀️👰🏼‍♀️

My honey and I woke up one day, decided we wanted to finally make it official. A simple but memorable wedding instead of just a court wedding. We were a bit particular about our search for an officiant due to the fact that we are two females looking to get married. Luckily Cheryl is on top of it and made it easy for us to find her. Cheryl made sure to share that she was LGBTQ friendly. We also saw in the reviews, pictures of a lesbian couple which was married by Cheryl and gave us all the reassurance we needed. Once my wife Melanie contacted her , we right away heard back from Cheryl and gave us all the info we needed. We knew she was the ONE plus ONLY $300. Cheryl was definitely within our budget. Cheryl was such an important part to helped us make it a special day. So we thank you 🫶🏽

Over delivers in all the best ways!

Through Cheryl’s process, she learns about you and harnesses the spirit of your relationship and curates a ceremony that is meaningful, inspiring, and personal.

We also added on the photography package for our small group( 2 brides, 2 bridesmaids and 1 groomsman which happen to be our children). They stayed to take as many pictures as we wanted. Cheryl even helped fluff my dress and hold lighting for photos as well as made suggestions. They were easy going, fun and laughed with our family. Thoroughly enjoyable. You will not be disappointed.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Cheryl is Fabulous. She tailors her remarks to each individual couple so your ceremony feels special and unique. She is easy to work with and generous with her time and knowledge. Cheryl and Ken also offer music and photography services for your ceremony which really sets them apart from most officiants. I highly recommend Bella Wedding Day!

Sandy White, Officiant/Minister Sandy White, Officiant/Minister Wedding Officiants

Cheryl is a wonderful Officiant. When I moved to a new state I referred over 2 dozen clients to her. The feedback from these clients has been outstanding! My highest possible endorsement goes to Cheryl and her husband Ken. They are very professional, warm and fun!
