Dr. Sheila truly knows Love.

As the bride, I was really nervous about hiring an officiant for our wedding day. I wanted someone who deeply understood the love between my spouse and I, and not try to squeeze in all of these religious traditions to appease our differing families. From the first meeting with Sheila, she understood this completely. She got to know us, without use of checklists or questionnaires, just by simply meeting with us and diving deep into conversation. Sheila was able to offer advice and expertise to create a ceremony completely unique to us; and she delivered. The entire ceremony, I felt so calm and at peace just listening to the words Sheila had written about our love story. She spoke of our love through stories and poems which allowed our guests to take it all in through whichever perspective resonated with them. She incorporated our loved ones in the ceremony and honored those who could not be with us so beautifully, which really touched our hearts. Our guests raved about how amazing our ceremony was, and this really set the tone for the rest of the night! On top of all of this, she was so professional, handled our documentation with ease, and is just a kind soul overall. Thank you, Sheila for an incredible experience. I would highly recommend her to any couple who truly cares about their love.

Wedding day officiant - the best!!!

If you want a personalized ceremony and having an officiant that takes the time to get to know your story , then Sheila is the one for you! Our initial session was more about us and how we met etc. As we got closer to the wedding we connected a few more times where we discussed the specifics of the venue and ceremony plan, vow writing etc. Sheila makes you feels comfortable and excited . She married my brother as well and that is how i knew of her . There was so much positive feedback from both weddings that friends of ours are going to use her as well!

Thanks Sheila for such a wonderful and captivating ceremony

Awesome preparation and genuine festive experience

Sheila was so considerate and involved from the start, sent questionnaire and I was truly surprised that all of those responses were used during the ceremony which made it special and meaningful. She made many calls upfront to ensure the wedding will be perfect. We led the process professionally and gave the word to the extended family on a video call who was all abroad , it was a nice touch. It felt like she was not only doing the job but going extra mile to be there with us and for us. We got our certified copies right next day meaning she did follow through and accommodated our needs. I highly recommend Sheila Gay Gross as an excellent master of the ceremonies, wedding registrar and awesome professional.

I've worked with Sheila on several weddings in 2011 and 2012. Her knowledge of the bride and groom makes her marriage ceremony very personal and touching. The guests may think she is a long-time friend of the couple but it's really her face to face pre-wedding consultations that make it possible.
