& Celebrant Services

Celebrations by Shari is committed to crafting a uniquely designed and personalized ceremony exclusively for you and your special day.

“Shari is awesome! We are so happy we picked her to officiate our wedding. She helped us so much to make the ceremony go smoothly. She was very informative about so many parts of the ceremony and was also the friendliest and funniest person ever! I couldn't even remember I was nervous before the ceremony started because she made me laugh too many times while we were doing our walk-through! There were so many options to choose from for ceremony wording and she helped us out a lot with choosing what fit us best.”

We couldn't have picked a better officiant.
