    5/5 Would Recommend - It Was Perfect!

    Shari was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely thorough and responsive while helping us to prepare for our wedding ceremony. She offered a ton of options and helped us customize our wedding ceremony to be exactly what we wanted. She also provided instructions and assistance on the day to ensure the ceremony would go smoothly - and it was perfect. Thank you so much Shari, we were so happy to work with you!!!! Could not have asked for better.

    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!

    Thank you so very much for taking the time to write a review. Reviews are important to other couples looking for an officiant and helpful for me to make sure I'm still during things right. Much love and happiness!

    Shari was the best!

    Shari helped us with our ceremony immensely, allowing us to mix and match what we loved from different wording options, making it so that we had the perfect ceremony. She was very responsive and worked with us every step of the way. She offered plenty of advice to us and helped with any questions we had. She was very friendly and we`re so glad that we got to work with her!

    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.

    Absolutely a Dream Wedding Officiant

    Not only was working directly with Shari Caruso/ Celebrations by Shari was one of the easiest parts of the entire event-planning experience – meeting her the day-of was one of the most calming aspects of the entire experience. A perfect combination of professional and friendly, organized and highly flexible, I cannot recommend Shari, as both a person and a business-owner, enough. Thank you for existing, Shari!

    Absolute delight!

    I can't recommend Celebrations by Shari enough! Shari was wonderful! She answered emails and phone calls immediately and was such a joy to meet and have officiate our wedding. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant. I don't believe we could have found anyone better. Thank you Shari!

    Perfection

    Shari was absolutely amazing! She’s very organized, thorough, and helpful. We were able to customize our ceremony and make it perfect for us! Our guests could stop talking about how perfect our ceremony was. I would recommend Shari to anyone and everyone!

    A great experience!

    We honestly didn't know what to expect as everything was arranged virtually. However, Shari did an excellent job communicating with us up to the Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding. Once we met in person, Shari immediately put us at ease, and took a lot of stress out of the day, which really helped us focus on what mattered. Shari is a true professional, answered all of our questions, and performed a beautiful ceremony. She took care of our license filing, provided us with a nice booklet with the ceremony transcript, including our vows, as well as provided a checklist for name changes. Highly recommend!

    The best Officiant for the best day!

    Working with Shari as our Officiant was better than I could have imagined. We had a large bridal party and the guys needed a little help - actually a lot of help. Shari was up to the task! She whipped them into shape, easily. The many options she offers for ceremony services and help with wording are amazing. My photographer and videographer were so impressed that she stepped out of the picture often so they could also do their best work. Our day wouldn't have gone as scheduled if it wasn't for her!

    Celebrations by Shari's reply:

    Thank you so very much! I truly loved being a part of your special day. The groomsmen were so fun! You and Ryan are simply adorable and will be a beautiful family.

    Best Officiant in Northeast Ohio!

    We had seen Shari officiate at a family member's wedding before we were engaged and knew she was the one we eventually wanted at our wedding! She is kind, welcoming, and professional. The ability to customize our ceremony was a big plus for us. It's been months since our wedding and we still look back on the process of selecting our language and hearing Shari officiate it on the day of our wedding. We highly recommend Celebrations by Shari!

    Highly recommend, the best!

    Shari was our wedding officiant and was more than we could ever have imagined. She was always very responsive and has tons of wording options which she shared with us to choose for her to use during the ceremony. Shari handled the rehearsal and took charge in the most professional and fun way which left us more than confident the ceremony would be perfect. It was the most important part of the day and the part we felt most at ease about because of Shari. We highly recommend!

    Celebrations by Shari's reply:

    Thank you--such a beautiful day and adorable couple! It was honor and joy to pronounce you married. I wish you a lifetime of love and happiness.

    Shari was amazing! I had no idea where to start when it came to finding an officiant and started reading reviews on Shari and decided to give her a chance. I can honestly say from the first initial contact with her I knew I would not have to stress about anything. She gave us a packet full of wording options and let us customize whatever we wanted. She even added personal touches that really made it special to us. She even handled everything for the rehearsal to make sure everything ran smoothly the day of. I got so many compliments on on our ceremony I would highly recommend Shari.

    Thank you so very much for this review! I loved being part of your beautiful wedding. The two of you are simply adorable!

    Perfect Day!

    Like so many couples, my husband and I had our 2020 wedding impacted by COVID. We were originally supposed to get married in Yosemite, but a few months before the wedding, we made the difficult decision to move everything to Ohio so our families wouldn't have to travel. We were able to find Shari to officiate via Weddingwire, and we couldn't be happier with that choice. Before the wedding, she made everything super simple by giving us a lot of choice in the ceremony wording, while also providing us with a lot of guidance. On the day of the wedding, we were both a little nervous, but Shari's professionalism calmed us down and the wedding was perfect! I would highly recommend her to any couple!

    Amazing officiant

    We were very pleased with Shari as our officiant for our wedding. Everything was very organized and communication was prompt. Shari makes everything easier by providing example wording and was willing to help in any way to make the planning process easier. We couldn’t be happier with the way our ceremony turned out and we are forever grateful for celebrations by Shari.

    Our ceremony was perfect!

    Our experience with Celebrations by Shari was wonderful from the beginning to the end. Brian was our officiant. He was very professional, friendly, helpful, and answered all of our questions promptly. We were provided with wording choices which we loved because we were able to tailor our wedding to how we wanted. Our wedding was short and to the point. Brian helped us make our ceremony perfect!

    Perfect Ceremony

    Shari was phenomenal. She helped us pick out exactly what we wanted said at our ceremony and helped us out all along the way. She is very professional and helpful in leading our crazy bridal party and families. Haha if you are looking for a personal and special ceremony, Shari is the right officiant for the job!
