I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for Cheryl's work as our officiant! We could not have asked for a more beautiful ceremony.
Throughout the planning period and wedding c...
eremony itself, Cheryl was thoughtful, kind, and upbeat.
In the planning period before the wedding, Cheryl was communicative and hands-on with the drafting of the ceremony. She had a lot of valuable experience-based input when it came to the layout and wording of the ceremony.
Something that stood out was Cheryl's impressive compilation of written material for us to look through to construct our ceremony, which made planning it all a breeze. She worked hand-in-hand with David and I, to construct a ceremony that spoke to us as a couple. I especially appreciated her ability to incorporate personal tidbits about our relationship into the ceremony.
Our ceremony was performed in a mix of English and Spanish, and Cheryl did a wonderful job of maintaining continuity with a relaxed and forward-moving energy.
Cheryl officiated our wedding and she was AMAZING! She made planning our ceremony extremely easy by giving us an outline to pick from (we didn’t have to use anything that she provi...
ded, but we’re glad she gave it to us!) She was on top of it for everything - from deadlines, letting us know all about the marriage certificate process, and so much more. Not only that, our guests came up to us afterwards to tell us how great our officiant was! We’re so happy we were able to have Cheryl officiate our wedding :)

Cheryl really took the time to get to know us prior to the wedding, which made our ceremony so personal and special. Highly recommend!
Cheryl was a wonderful officiant! She met with us months before the wedding to plan our ceremony. She planned our ceremony and asked for our input the entire time. We were allowed...
to include or take away anything we wanted. We have gotten many compliments about our wedding specifically how much they liked our ceremony. She was absolutely great.
Cheryl was a wonderful celebrant for our wedding; she was the perfect combination of personal and professional, and she was extremely helpful to us in preparing our vows. My husba...
nd and I had very particular ideas about what we wanted in our ceremony, but we didn't know how to begin to put it together; Cheryl took the time to try to understand our thoughts and values without imposing anything on us, while at the same time offering enormous support in structuring and organizing the whole thing. From the very first meeting, she came prepared with a great number of different possibilities for structuring the ceremony, and allowed us to handpick which aspects were right for us, offering great suggestions and insights along the way. She also provided online access to a great variety of sources for writing different parts of the ceremony, which was invaluable to us in our preparation. She seems willing and able to offer as much or as little help in planning the ceremony as you'd like; although she was ready to guide us through the process step by step, she was also perfectly happy to let us take over whenever we wanted to. Although she is warm and easygoing, she also takes her work seriously; her presence at our wedding was lighthearted and calming, while also inspiring a sense of respect for the dignity and significance of the occasion. We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant for our wedding, and we emphatically recommend Cheryl's services to anyone, especially to those looking for particular help in creating a ceremony that is appropriate to their values and ideas.
Cheryl was absolutely amazing! When we met with her the first time and shared our love story with her, talking to her, was like talking to an old friend. She paid attention to ever...
y detail of what we shared and put together a beautiful ceremony. She was helpful throughout the entire process from writing our own vows, providing templates and samples ceremonies to choose from and alter to fit our personalities- to helping me change my name after the big day! She was professional, friendly, helpful and prompt. She answered any questions we had within the day. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a ceremony that is your own, that fits the personality of you and your soon to be spouse (and also the ones who may wanna go more traditional). She fit our needs and was a great asset to our day! Thank you so much Cheryl!
