    Lovely person

    I first spoke with Reverend Sharon through a video call, since I was in the other side of the world.
    She has been very kind and lovely through our journey.

    The Best Officiant!

    Reverend Sharon go above and beyond for being our wedding officiant. She treated me and my husband like a family. She did an amazing job and our wedding ceremony was lovely because of her. She also helped us in preparations for our wedding. Ive been to many weddings and for me she is the best officiant.

    Enjoyable wedding caremoney

    The wedding was in a small neighborhood park. The vendor was really nice; she told us everything we should know before the ceremony. She also made a red bouquet for us as a gift, which is fantastic and lovely. If you wanna have a small casual ceremony with several of your friends, this is definitely your choice.

    Golden gate beach wedding

    Sharon was great. She was very friendly and responsive. I talked to her leading up to the ceremony, to orepare for it. She helped with everything. Even places we could visit in San Francisco. She sent us ideas about vows, and was great with letting us do things the way we wanted. She did a beautiful job with the ceremony. She brought me a bouquet she made. She made the beginning very personable from our stories. She had a nice poem at the end. The ceremony was perfect. She did a great job. After we got home, she sent me pictures and the poem.

    Wonderful experience

    Sharon is very flexible and we had great discussion and communication about the ceremony plans. She gave us a warm introduction and some my friends thought we had known each other for long time.

    Rev. Sharon married us during the Thanksgiving weekend in a short notice ( we wanted an intimate wedding ceremony with only two of us). She is a very thoughtful person. She spent time to get to know us and was very responsive in our inquiries. What impressed me the most is that she also attends to details. I would definitely recommend her.

    Reverend Sharon is very responsible and we are lucky to be her 60th held couples. Her profession and kindness across the wedding ceremony truly provided us a valuable experience, and an unforgettable memory. Thanks Reverend Sharon!

    Expect excellent results. Sharon is an amazing, honest, and sincere. She provided her services to friends of my and they still talk about how Sharon made their special day the best! Wedding day is approximate, can't remember the exact.

    Sharon was very professional and on time (extremely important). It was a pleasure working with her and I would recommend her to anyone. She has a great library of vows in case you need some creative assistance.

    We were married on May of 2014. She was really easy to talk to and catered to our requests. She even helped us prepare our wedding vows in person and through Skype. Great wedding officiant! Very pleasant to work with. Highly recommended.

    Reverend B Sharon Staley's reply:

    Thanks a lot Kristine,
    You and Ryan were one of my favorite couples to get married in 2014, I am so glad to have been your officiant and I am very glad to have the lucky officiant to marry the both of you on your wedding day in May!

    Enjoy the time with Reverend Sharon

    A big thanks to Wedding Wire that led us to Rev. Sharon as our officiant. She was very responsive and professional. We ended up kinda treating her as our wedding consultant and got advise from her on places to shop for good wedding suits / where to get custom made boutonniere... The little cookies she gave us on the ceremony tasted super yummy. I believe they are homemade from her : )

    Very kind and responsive

    Rev. Sharon was prompt, responsive and kind. She was open to our suggestions in tailoring the vows and understood how we wanted our ceremony. She also sent us some pictures over the mail which was nice.

    I held off on this review because I debated over weather it was better to leaving no review or leaving an honest review of my experience. After numerous emails (At least once a week for the last 6 months) and texts requesting a review, if my honest feedback is truly wanted I will give it. I wanted a small intimate wedding, primarily to involve my terminally ill father. I reached out to Sharon and she was very responsive. She quickly setup a call to go over things. She sent out a contract, and this is where things started to change course. I live out of state so it took a few days for USPS to deliver the contract. I got either a daily text or phone call reminding me to sign the contract and send the payment before she could start working on our ceremony. This was overkill. I paid the ceremony in full when returning the contract. Next she contacted me to ask if there was a parking or daily use fee for the location of our ceremony. I assumed there was one, typically these are $8. She then said she usually includes this in her contract but since she missed this "she would be nice and split the amount with me". Even after she emailed the county to ask about the day use fee and they said for this particular beach there was no parking or day use fee, she continued to argue with me there was a fee. At this point I was annoyed and had I not already paid in full, I would've just canceled and forfeited the deposit. As we got closer to the wedding date, she advised me we would sign the marriage certificate before the ceremony. I asked if we could do it after. She said no. On the day of the wedding, she brought her husband who ended up being in the background of all my ceremony pics. It wasn't possible to crop him out of all of the pics so he's in our wedding pics forever. She also messed up on reciting our vows. You get what you pay for! Make sure you are selecting an officiant who really suits your needs, rather than settling.

    Reverend B Sharon Staley's reply:

    Melissa,
    Sorry you weren't happy with my services, most people are and lot of former wedding clients are still good social friends even after 5 years of me being their officiant. And I have done 61 wedding since April of 2012.
    And all marriage licenses are signed before a wedding, for it is not any officiants job to chase after the couples when they are in party mood to get the marriage license signed. For once the wedding ceremony is done the officiants job is done.
