I’m Jewish and my husband is Greek Orthodox. Sheri was upfront when she told us she’s never done a part Greek Orthodox wedding before but diligently sat and wrote down all the part...
s we wanted from both. All 3 of us worked on how we wanted the ceremony to look like with Sheri adding in elements she felt would add and enhance our ceremony
We are so very happy that Sheri was able to officiate our ceremony. She was recommended by a friend and we could have asked for a better person to marry us. She was available to di...
scuss details over the phone and email. Her communication style gave us confidence and felt like she understood our needs.
We had a ceremony at the lakefront in Chicago.
Meeting her in person was a pleasure, she radiated kindness and positivity. She has prepared the most heartfelt reading for the ceremony, including a reading we chose. I felt as she really felt happy for us and that meant so much.
We will cherish the memory and Sheri's kindness forever!
After my baby sister passed suddenly, we needed to find an officiant to perform her funeral service and found many glowing reviews about Sheri. She lovingly took the time to get t...
o know our sister’s background, childhood, and adult life. Sheri gave such a heartfelt eulogy at the gravesite memorial. It was beautiful and we will all use it as we grieve and heal from our loss. She crafted special memories that everyone could relate to, and included a special prayer for our Christian burial. She is very caring and skilled in her officiant service, and we are thankful to have found such a blessing in her.
Sheri was amazing to work with. We were able to collaborate on the ceremony so that it was exactly how we wanted it. Sheri included details that made the ceremony so personal an...
d worked with us on those parts we didn’t like. Her relaxed and warm vibe went perfectly with our outdoor garden patio wedding. We received so many compliments about the ceremony from our family and friends.
I loved working with Sheri to create our wedding ceremony! Sheri really took the time to get to know me and my husband to create the perfect ceremony. We loved the way she incorpor...
ated our own personal love story into the ceremony, and our guests really enjoyed it as well! The ceremony was special, heartwarming, hopeful, and we even had a few laughs! I can't thank Sheri enough for making our wedding day so extremely special! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
We were so lucky to find Sheri to be part of our wedding. We had procrastinated to find an officiant, and Sheri was able to put together an incredible ceremony in a short time. Eve...
n after spending just a short time getting to know us, the ceremony she developed captured our personalities and our relationship perfectly. We worked with amazing vendors for every part of our wedding, but the one we received the most compliments for was Sheri. Everyone told us it was the best ceremony they had ever seen. A few people actually thought she might be my mother because the ceremony was so personal. We cannot say enough about Sheri - we will recommend her to absolutely anyone who asks!
Sheri was a great wedding officiant! Her life cycle celebrant philosophy was perfect for our non-denominational ceremony. During our multiple sessions and much email correspondence...
, Sheri developed this comprehensive picture of my husband and I's relationship, allowing her to create a unique ceremony personal to us. She spent time getting the details right, and afterwards she even made sure to get a neat copy of the ceremony as a keepsake.
Sheri was a great investment in our wedding. When we had our first meeting at a coffee shop, Sheri opened with asking how my wife and I met. As we started to tell our story that ...
we've told so many times, this time it felt different-- we emotionally felt comfortable with this person. The tears of love flew. Sheri's openess allowed this and she asked questions about key moments which allowed more tears. We instantly knew this was the person to officiate our wedding due to her receptiveness. After she gave a detailed summary of what she would do to create the ceremony, she gave us homework: questions about ourselves and our relationship. This was a bit nerve-wracking at first, but then fun and beautiful in the end as we shared our answers together later. Sheri was responsive and open to our theme and suggested edits of the ceremony. She provided drafts and would email them back. We edited and gave feedback and found that that she listened and we ended up getting everything we needed and wanted. The rehearsal and ceremony were professionally done. Sheri has works creatively on stage, she was engaging and none of our ceremony felt staged or over the top. She told our story genuinely. We would highly recommend.
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Sheri and the service she provided. Sheri was very friendly, detailed, and positive from our opening meeting at Starbucks to our w...
edding ceremony. My wife and I had very little knowledge on the process of a non-religious ceremony but Sheri made it very clear and stress free. She put in a lot of time and effort to incorporate our life story and included readings and poems that matched our culture and desires. We had many guests at our wedding compliment and praise Sheri and how special she made our day. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a friendly and professional officiant for their wedding.
I'm still not sure I can fully describe how wonderful Sheri was to work with. We met with her once and KNEW that she would be the perfect officiant for our wedding. Through a thoug...
htful series of questions and many back and forth e-mails, Sheri crafted a beautiful ceremony that represented our relationship; at times serious but punctuated with humor, filled with science and logic, and frosted with some geekdom. Many of our guests asked afterward if she was someone who we had known for a long time. I cannot imagine having anyone else officiate our wedding.
I was so concerned about finding the right person to do our ceremony. I was then concerned about writing the ceremony. We were recommended Sheri by our photographer and she gave us...
nothing but the best. She wrote our whole ceremony from us based on a questionnaire form we filled out. Changes and edits were painless. Our ceremony was religious yet personal enough that it pleased all ranges of our guests and they enjoyed listening. We got numerous compliments after the wedding letting us know how much they enjoyed our ceremony and our officiant. If you're looking for someone who knows what they're doing and can give a quick but memorable ceremony, Sheri is the way to go!
Sheri was easy to talk to and great to work with throughout planning our wedding. She took great care in learning our story and tailoring the ceremony for us. Our guests were reall...
y impressed at the unique ceremony as were we!
We chose Sheri off The Knot and had a Skype call with her. She asked some great questions about how we met, why we wanted to get married etc. Our "homework" was 4 pages long and ...
asked intimate, "make-you-think" questions that brought me and my now husband closer together. Her ceremony story was beautiful, and I loved the literature that she used- it was very "us", and I couldn't have picked better pieces to read. She told our love story perfectly, and captured our entire, unique love journey. She went above and beyond to ensure we had our definition of a perfect ceremony, and helped guide us along the way. Couldn't have asked for a better officiant! Thank you so much!!
Sheri officiated my wedding on August 23rd and was wonderful through the whole process. I am Jewish and my husband is Catholic and we were looking to have a ceremony that incorpora...
ted both religions but wasn't over-the-top religious. Sheri was fantastic about hearing our wishes and tailoring our ceremony towards us! She would be very capable of performing a more religious wedding if that's what the couple wanted!
Every choice, detail, etc. about out ceremony was tailored to us and what we wanted out of it. It never felt like a cookie-cutter ceremony, she even including our love story in our ceremony and wrote it so elegantly.
She was wonderful about changing the draft throughout our year engagement as our ideas changed and out wedding became more fleshed out. And was always quite to respond to all of our e-mails.
I highly recommend her!
My fiancé and I are Chicago transplants and the majority of our friends and family are out of state. However, we were getting married in Chicago. We were nervous about hiring an of...
ficiant because we wanted to make sure that our ceremony was very personal and intimate.
And then we met Sheri Reda a Life-Cycle Celebrant. From our initial meeting she put us right at ease. She was very kind and friendly and we could tell that she would deliver exactly what we were looking for. The ceremony drafting process was a lot of fun to work on; and Sheri was very accommodating to our numerous changes and tweaks. She even worked with us last minute when an issue arose with our rehearsal and even helped in the search for a ceremony musician. The day of, the ceremony was amazing. Our guest commented on how intimate it was and how it was perfectly crafted for the two of us. We could not have done it without Sheri and recommend her completely; you will not be disappointed.
