About

Hello,

My name is Sheryl and I am an ordained Interfaith Minister. I respect all religions and those who have no religion too. My goal is to make your wedding day one that will be remembered not only by you but also the guests who attend.

This is a day you have dreamed about for quite sometime and what could be more important than the reception, but the words spoken on this most amazing day of your life.

It is an honor for me to create a ceremony for you that will meet your expectations of how you dreamed this day would be.

One of my many testimonials:

"When my husband and I started planning our wedding, we were committed to hosting a ceremony that reflected who we are as individuals as well as who we are a couple. We opted to have a less traditional wedding ceremony and wanted to find a minister who would work with us to craft a ceremony that felt like “us.” Working with Sheryl was a joy. She listened to our wants and needs and was very open to our suggestions along the way. After meeting with her one time, she put together a ceremony that did indeed reflect us, and we felt very pleased with the outcome. We were able to pick our own nontraditional readings, and we also incorporated a Japanese tea ceremony into our wedding, as my husband is half Japanese. The entire ceremony had a very natural flow, one that our guest truly enjoyed. We had many compliments on the ceremony throughout the night and over the following weeks. I was very happy with the service Sheryl provided and would recommend her to anyone; in fact, two of our friends were so impressed with our ceremony that they booked her for their weddings. Each one was unique and tailored to the couple. " --Laura

Sheryl was amazing! We met with her a couple months before our wedding and instantly knew we wanted her to marry us! She is so pleasant to work with and created a beautiful ceremony for us! I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for an officiant!

Sheryl was wonderful to work with. She worked very hard to ensure that our ceremony fit us perfectly, and was always open to our suggestions and opinions. We are very grateful for the beautiful ceremony she wrote for us! She was recommended to us by friends who had similar experiences, and we will absolutely pass that recommendation on. Thank you, Sheryl!

Working with Sheryl was an absolute pleasure. After having some trouble with a previous officiant, we ended up hiring Sheryl about a month out from our wedding date. We were so fortunate that she was available because she did an incredible job. We are both confirmed Catholics and she was able to incorporate some of our traditions for our outdoor ceremony. Sheryl was not only reliable, prompt, and professional but she is also very passionate about officiating and it truly came across during our ceremony.

Sheryl Goodling married my husband and me. She was fantastic. She made our ceremony extremely personal. We could not have asked for a better officiant. Our wedding day was perfect and she was an integral part in making the day so wonderful.

Literally, from the moment we met Sheryl, we knew she was perfect to marry us. Completely genuine, down to earth; one of those people that you meet and feel you have known for years. She was so kind and friendly, so incredibly professional and so fairly priced for her services. My husband and I would do this a hundred times again if we knew we could work with her in the end together. We won't ever forget our ceremony or how perfect she presented it and wrote it for us. She is truly amazing and in the line of work that she's supposed to be in, no doubt about it. We will reccomend her for everything possible for everyone we know.

We had a beautiful wedding ceremony thanks to the thoughtfulness that was put into writing it from Sheryl. She hadn't known us long but ended up writing a ceremony that described us like no one else could. She was very down to earth and caring person that wants to make your wedding day the most special of all...and ours was because of her. Highly recommend her for any event.
