About

Congrats on your engagement! 🎉

I’m Minister Sharnise Sears, your soon-to-be favorite minister, licensed in Ohio and certified by the American Marriage Ministries. While your wedding day is a big deal (and I’ll help make it unforgettable), my passion lies in assisting couples to prepare for the lifetime of love that follows. Because when the confetti settles and the wedding bubbles pop, it’ll just be the two of you—and I’m here to help ensure that your foundation is rock-solid.

I offer Pre-Marriage Counseling, custom ceremony scripts, and vow-writing assistance because your ceremony should reflect *you*—not some cookie-cutter script. Your love story is unique, and your vows should be, too! Whether you’re blending traditions, religions, cultures, or just your Spotify playlists, I’ll tailor your ceremony to feel as dynamic and meaningful as your relationship.

I work seamlessly with your vendor team to ensure your wedding day runs smoothly, but my support doesn’t stop there. Need a trusted counselor as you navigate marriage? I’ve got you covered with ongoing marriage coaching sessions to help keep the love alive through every season of life.

Now, let’s talk investment. My officiant services start at $1250, which includes my dedication to creating a ceremony that’s heartfelt, memorable, and 100% free of snoozefests. Think of it as the ultimate marriage starter pack—because your relationship deserves more than just "I do."

If you’re a fun (or internally fun), authentic couple who values connection and depth over perfection, let’s create a wedding ceremony that feels like *you.* I promise laughter, maybe a few happy tears, and memories that will last long after the cake is cut.

Yours in love, laughter, and happily ever afters,
Minister Sharnise

Highly Recommend- She's the BEST!

She is AMAZING! We wholeheartedly recommend Minister Sharnise Sears. From the start it is evident that she is passionate about what she does and cares about each couple she works with. She is very professional, and her website has all the information you need including a client you have a portal to keep everything together. She has several meetings to get to know you, so your ceremony is exactly tailored to you as a couple. She listened to our preferences and shared great ideas to make our ceremony unique to us. She gave us helpful advice on writing vows, getting our marriage license, and took care of the ceremony logistics. She reliable, timely, communicative, positive, supportive, and most of all- FUN! She’s the wedding officiant/bestie you didn’t know existed, but you need and deserve! We felt that she was in our corner every step of the way- helping to coordinate the ceremony, supporting us, and rooting for us! Your ceremony joins you and your partner for life, so having someone who truly cares about you as a couple and making those moments memorable is important. Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful- not only to us, but many guests commented that our ceremony was touching, heartfelt and a perfect reflection of us as a couple. She made us feel special and I will always be grateful that she was part of our wedding day!

Incredible

Sharnise is just simply the best. She’s so good at taking a small amount of time spent together and crafting it into the perfect ceremony, where it seemed like we knew each other for years. It felt like she encapsulated everything we wanted and it was so great to work with her. We had an unreal amount of comments about how great she was after the ceremony. She has a very magnetic charisma. Do yourself a favor and book Sharnise as your officiant.
