Sheryl was amazing in helping to make our wedding day smooth and memorable. She was very easy to work with, giving us different options to customize our ceremony and did it in a way that didn't feel overwhelming. We had a non-religious ceremony but included symbolism that were Jewish and Catholic. We even had a last minute request that she was able to add days before our wedding. She was very kind and professional to work with, would recommend to any couple! Thank you again!!!

Sheryl was our officiant for our August wedding and was absolutely amazing. From the beginning she made the process extremely smooth and easy. We met her through zoom and immediately went with her after seeing her warm demeanor. The day of she came prepared and ran through the ceremony perfectly. What’s great about Sheryl is she also mails out the signed documents for you which is one less thing you have to worry about. We had a wonderful experience with Sheryl and couldn’t recommend her more!

We had a wonderful experience and ceremony with Sheryl at Blissful Ceremonies! She was so clear, responsive and efficient throughout our communications and planning. Our ceremony was small and simple, but she made it special and helped us incorporate little touches to personalize for ourselves and our family. Would highly recommend to all couples looking for a thoughtful, considerate officiant.

Sheryl did such an amazing job as our officiant! Throughout the entire process, she was extremely helpful in guiding us on the beurocratic aspect of getting married. We had no idea how to go about the paperwork, forms, applications, etc. required to be legally married, and Sheryl handled it all with ease. She walked us through the process ahead of time, handled witness signatures on the day of, and mailed the license to the courthouse (with tracking!). We picked up our marriage license this week with no issues!
For the ceremony, Sheryl gave us exactly what we asked for and what we wanted. We elected for the love story option, and it was a big hit; the ceremony was full of laughs, tears, and was the perfect length (about 20 minutes). Overall we were thrilled with Sheryl's ceremony and extremely grateful for all the help she provided, we would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!

we booked with Sheryl earlier this year and she has been so sweet from the beginning. She gave us a script to pick from and then sent us the whole speech to review before confirming for the ceremony. She arrived on time (earlier even) to have our witnesses sign and to go over the entire ceremony. She even asked about our thoughts on an unplugged ceremony which I loved! She asked all our guests to snap a picture before everything started. Very professional and very comfortable.

Sheryl was really great to work with. She created a love story based on our answers to a questionare that made the ceremony so personal and beautiful. We got TONS of compliments about how perfect the ceremony was. She was also helpful in explaining marriage license/certificate process.

Sheryl was truly amazing to work with from start to finish! Our ceremony was beautiful and we had so many guests coming up to us afterwards saying how moved they were by her words. The love story was a great bonus as well and Sheryl did a great job capturing that. Thank you so much for your guidance and support throughout the process. -Jason and Taylor

From the beginning of wedding planning I was so nervous to find an officiant because I had no idea where to start. I found Blissful Ceremonies on The Knot and I am so happy that I did! Sheryl did an amazing job! Picking out the readings for the ceremony was so easy, and we were really able to make it what we wanted because of how many options there were. Sheryl was always prompt to answer any questions we had as well and I would recommend her to anyone in need of an officiant!

Sheryl was amazing with helping us during the planning process. I felt very confident in the steps necessary in applying for the marriage license, picking up the license, and how to make sure to get a certified copy. She was so informative and handled all the paperwork for us. The ceremony was beautiful and we love that we got a say in what was said during our ceremony because it made it THAT much more meaningful. Everyone kept saying that the ceremony was so "us". We loved it! Thank you Sheryl! We would highly recommend her.

Sheryl was a great officiant! She was very kind and supportive throughout the process. She was very organized with letting us customize a number of different sections of the script in the weeks before the day to ensure that we got the specific experience we were looking for. Her spoken sections were well-written and matched the vibe of our event well.
Before the start of the ceremony as people filed in, she ensured that I (the groom) was relaxed by keeping my attention on her while she was sharing stories of ceremonies in the past and other good experiences. The ceremony itself went off very smoothly and our guests enjoyed it too.
Afterwards, she explained the details of how the license process works and was prompt in sending us shipping details for the registration. We followed her instructions and were able to pick up the certificate from the township after a few days without a hitch. All in all, a very streamlined and smooth process and I would definitely recommend Sheryl.

I found Sheryl Alemany, DD with Blissful Ceremonies NJ via the Knot recommended vendors when filtering for best reviews and NJ location.
I highly recommend Sheryl Alemany as your wedding officiant. From the beginning, she was extremely professional and provided prompt responses -- important considering I reached out to her within 62 days of the wedding date. Sheryl, provided a thorough and detailed proposal that accurately reflected all of our needs.
She immediately took initiative to schedule a few personalized calls to discuss the process, options, budget, and expectations. Something that distinguished her from others is the fact that she took the time to identify our unique needs to offer the best option for us while being mindful of a budget. With all her years of experience -- she is extremely knowledgeable in the requirements for numerous townships! This proved to be extremely important in our case as we married in a different township than our residence.
Sheryl provides exceptional services to all the brides and grooms by offering guides for every step of the process to 1) file and receive the marriage license, 2) undergo a legal name change, and 3) add a spouse to health insurance -- all of which initially appeared very overwhelming and complicated. She made it all so easy!! She even personally handled a follow-up call with the township to ensure proper processing.
Sheryl was punctual on the day of the event. She set up quickly and maintained excellent communication with me, my husband, the ring bearer, two witnesses, the wedding planner, the wedding coordinator, and the MC/DJ vendor for audio.
Outside of the logistics, Sheryl has a proven method to lead the most incredible ceremony. From the opening statement, unique love story, pledge, and vows – every aspect of the ceremony was completely customized for us! She is an outstanding speaker who captured our words in such as eloquent and romantic way. Our guests were captivated and touched by her words. My husband and I could not think of anyone better than her to officiate our ceremony!
Sheryl Alemany, DD with Blissful Ceremonies NJ offers outstanding services. I highly recommend her and this business.

Sheryl is an absolute dream to work with and an amazing officiant! She officiated my wedding in Disney in August 2022. She takes her time getting to know the couple and makes sure every little detail is perfect, especially in the love story she writes tailored to the couple. During the ceremony, she spoke so eloquently and seamlessly. She made sure everything I wanted was included. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect and professional officiant! I highly recommend Blissful Ceremonies!

Sheryl was fantastic! She was such a calming presence during such an anxious day. Of no fault of her own, the DJs microphone gave out on us and she carried on without a hiccup! Couldn’t have asked for a better officiant.

Sheryl was great. She always responded to phone calls and e-mails promptly. She created a customized script for us and arrived early. She even helped to setup the final beach wedding place. I would recommend Sheryl to anyone needing a wedding officiant.

The Good:
Very pleasant in manner and obviously sincere.
Very organized and responsive. She has questionnaires and forms and really made an effort to put together a ceremony script.
The Not-so-Good:
On-the-day execution was strangely off. For example, officiant called me 30 minutes before the ceremony started to tell me she was lost. She really should have contacted the venue well BEFORE the event to ascertain exactly where to go. At the very least, she should have contacted the venue directly to get proper directions.
Officiant asked during cocktail about using images on her website, and continued to ask despite our making it clear that we wanted to keep images private. Not a really big deal, just a little strange.

Hi!
I'm sorry you were not completely satisfied with my services. As per my contract, I ar...
rive about a half hour before the ceremony which I let you know about. The address you provided me did not take me to the correct location, so of course I wanted to call you to verify where it was. As for the photos, it was a part of my contract that you were allowing me to post pictures of the ceremony on my business pages. I covered that in the contract with you. However, your photographer mentioned to me that you asked her not to post any pictures on HER site. I found this odd considering you didn't mention that to me, so again, of course I wanted to ask you. I asked you (the groom) just to confirm what the photographer said, and then let the bride know that I wouldn't be posting any pictures on my sites at your (the groom) request. Even though you signed a contract agreeing to me posting pictures, I still had the courtesy to check with you, and then not post any pictures. So, I'm sorry you were not completely satisfied but I hope that explains everything. It was not my intention to cause any confusion. Congrats again!

We naively thought that customization would be limited in a wedding ceremony done by an officiant. We were under the impression that the person we chose would roll their eyes at the amount of wording we did not feel comfortable with, i.e. "husband," "wife," and the traditional "I do"s. However, after finding someone like Sheryl, we were completely surprised that our wedding could truly be our own. We knew Sheryl was perfect for our ceremony the moment we contacted her. She immediately set up a virtual consultation where we went through each portion of the ceremony script, line by line, until we loved the way it sounded. Overall, Sheryl ended up to be someone we truly wanted in this memory of our lives. We are so glad we found a warm, caring, and wonderful professional to share in this moment. If you have any doubts, we can promise you that you will not be disappointed in booking with Sheryl!

Sheryl was the perfect match for me and my partner's non-traditional wedding ceremony. She was very accommodating to our needs and was truly a very important individual to have as a part of our ceremony. I greatly appreciate her services and would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs an officiant as she is willing to work with people based on their personal lifestyles and needs.

I'm so glad I came across Forever and Always Wedding Officiant. Sheryl was more than the officiant. She made sure my day was memorable. When things seem to be falling apart she sprung in to action to make it right. The perfect officiant, more concerned about my day and how I was instead of "I'm just here to do my job attitude". Sheryl, I can not thank you enough. This will be my only marriage but if it was not I'd chose you again lol but I will definitely recommend you to anyone getting hitched. If anyone is looking for an Officiant, who's role could be flexible, do not hesitate to call Forever and Always. I promise you will not be disappointed. Sheryl will step in as your right hand if you need her to. Thank you for making sure my day continued to be about me and be amazing ❤️️❤️️❤️️.
