Wonderful officiant!

Cheri is such an easy person to talk with. She listened to both mine and my husband’s ideas, our concerns for the big day and created a really beautiful ceremony for us. She was always quick to respond, very punctual and professional. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant for traditional, religious or non traditional ceremonies. She has the flexibility and love to do it all.

Cheri was wonderful

Cheri was thorough and very responsive to my questions/needs. As a first time bride, she helped answer questions I didn't know, while also bringing her insight from other weddings into view. I would recommend her to future brides.

Amazing Officiant!

We had our wedding date originally planned for August 2020. Obviously nothing went as planned. In fact we ended up doing just a small outdoor ceremony with only a week or so notice but Rev. Cheri immediately was on-board and helped us with so many last-minute changes. We are non-religious and were able to work with Rev. Cheri on which phrases and readings we wanted for our special day. She helped make the celebration so smooth and beautiful, my husband and I would boast about her all day! If you are looking for an officiant who is invested in you and your special day, Rev. Cheri is the one!

Highly recommend

Rev. Cheri was absolutely wonderful to work with. She has such a caring heart and really put thought and emotion into our ceremony. She responded to my panic emails immediately. Couldn’t ask for a better person to marry us! Everyone raved at what a beautiful and heartfelt ceremony we had. She even got choked up during it and made us feel even more connected and special 💜

A perfect fit

We cannot say enough good things about Cheri! From the moment we met her, we knew she would be the perfect person to officiate our wedding. She took the time to get to know us and asked questions. She wasn't about knowing the basics to perform the ceremony, but truly being interested in getting to know US. She took her time and let us decide what readings and vows suited us best, also giving her recommendations, when asked. We felt that she was not only our officiate, but a friend. She gave us a sense of peace and we both feel, she has such a kind soul. We are so happy we made that call and asked her to be part of our special day.

Covid wedding

Rev Cheri was amazing, supportive, flexible, and she is really the one that facilitated our wedding during COVID. She helped us with our vowels, kept us on track, and gave us the hope and support we needed through this crazy time. When all our plans changed she stuck with us, gave us the paperwork we needed and then went to the park we got married at early enough to help “reserve” the gazebo we wanted to get married at. Our day was PERFECT!!

Cheri was a pleasure to work with and we were so grateful to have found her to marry us. She brought up ideas and different kinds of ceremonies that we never would have thought of. We highly recommend Cheri!

Cheri was a wonderful officiant. Extremely kind and caring. She checked on me throughout my planning and checked in on me before I walked down the aisle. She was very professional and gave me a wonderful ceremony. I would recommend her and god bless her.

Rev Cheri made our wedding truly special. For two people who do not like being the center of attention, she quickly made us both at ease. Her thoughtfulness and warmth throughout the process of putting together our personalized readings was more than we could have asked for. We truly felt like we knew her from the moment we met her. I couldn't recommend a better person to officiate your wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
