August 27th Wedding

Shari was great to work with! She was so friendly and professional and you could tell she is very experienced at what she does. We are so happy with how our special day turned out and we can’t thank Shari enough for being part of that. We would highly recommend her to any couple getting married!

Beautiful wedding ceremony

Shari was an absolute pleasure to work with! She worked hard to make our ceremony exactly what we were looking for, and we had a few special requests! My new husbands name is also not a typical name and she worked hard to practice and make sure she said his name perfectly. Thanks Shari for making our day special!

Thoughtful, flexible, incredible

Shari and Dave were supposed to officiate our wedding earlier this year. They worked with us to produce a meaningful ceremony to include our guests. When COVID changed our plans they were incredibly accommodating and when we found a new date they were once again at our service. Lovely people, would highly recommend.

Beautiful ceremony!!

My husband and I have had to deal with a lot of changes because of COVID. Under short notice, Shari was able to put together a beautifully worded ceremony and help us incorporate elements that really made it our own. She was easy to communicate with, flexible, and it's obvious she really cares about the couples she is officiating for. Thanks again for being a part of our wedding day and making it so memorable!!

Very professional and kind

The wedding was a very memorable day. The service was exactly what we asked for. Shari was very professional and easy to work with our requests. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant. Her price was very far and very competitive with anyone I looked into. Thank you so much!
