Most officiants perform ceremonies. Copper Vows designs them.
Based in Gilbert, Arizona, Copper Vows creates custom, story-driven wedding ceremonies for couples across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, Queen Creek, the East Valley, Sedona, Flagstaff, and beyond.
Every ceremony begins with your story — not a recycled script. Through our Seamless Ceremony Method™, we shape the words, pacing, flow, and feeling of your ceremony so the moment feels natural, personal, and beautifully led from beginning to end.
Copper Vows was created from a simple belief: your ceremony should be more than a formality before cocktail hour. It should be the emotional center of your wedding day — the moment your guests lean in, your nerves settle, and your love feels fully seen.
Whether you’re planning an intimate desert elopement, a backyard micro-wedding, a vow renewal, or a full venue celebration, Copper Vows brings calm leadership, thoughtful guidance, and a warm, polished presence to the front of the room.
Services include custom wedding ceremonies, desert elopements, micro-weddings, vow renewals, ceremony structure support, personal vow guidance, and ceremony flow planning.
Copper Vows proudly welcomes all love stories, including non-religious, spiritual, interfaith, blended-belief, second marriages, blended families, and LGBTQ+ couples.
The tone is modern, warm, and deeply personal — never stiff, never generic, never over-the-top.
Because at Copper Vows, we don’t just officiate ceremonies. We design the moment.

Rev. Cherise
Wedding Officiant & Ceremony Designer
Hi, I'm Rev. Cherise, founder and ceremony designer behind Copper Vows.
Most officiants focus on delivering a ceremony. I focus on designing one.
I created Copper Vows because I believe the ceremony deserves more than a script. It's the moment your marriage begins. The moment your guests lean in. The moment you'll remember long after the flowers are gone and the music has faded.
Through our Seamless Ceremony Method™, I take the time to learn your story, understand what matters most, and create a ceremony that feels natural, personal, and unmistakably yours. No recycled templates. No one-size-fits-all approach. No ceremony that could belong to anyone else.
On wedding day, my role goes beyond standing at the front and reading words. I provide calm leadership, thoughtful guidance, and a steady presence that allows you to stay fully present in the moment. Every pause, transition, vow, and exchange is intentionally designed to create an experience that feels effortless from beginning to end.
Whether you're planning an intimate desert elopement, a mountaintop ceremony, or a celebration surrounded by everyone you love, my goal is always the same: to create a ceremony that feels like your story and a moment you'll never forget.
Because at Copper Vows, we don't just officiate ceremonies. We design them.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect officiant than Cherise! From the moment our ceremony began, she made it feel so personal, heartfelt, and uniquely us. She took the time to...
get to know our story and incorporated our personalities, memories, and sense of humor into the ceremony in such a meaningful way. Our guests were laughing, smiling, and even tearing up it was the perfect balance of love, emotion, and fun. Cherise made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and truly present as we said “I do” on June 26, 2026. If you’re looking for an officiant who will create a ceremony that is authentic, memorable, and tailored specifically to your relationship, we cannot recommend Cherise enough. Thank you for making our wedding day so incredibly special. We will cherish those moments forever!
