Introduction: Being able to marry people is such an honor to me. To be a part of such an important day is a privilege and I am always so grateful to be with a couple. Being an officiant has brought me a lot of joy and has become a big part of my life. I have met and stayed in touch with just the nicest and loveliest people. From elopements to bigger ceremonies, it is just a very special day for me too. That being said, I truly feel that I can capture the essence of the ceremony a couple wants and envisions. I like to be in contact with my couples and be helpful in anyway I can - from helping with finding a location/venue, arranging picnics and other unique additions to writing a script that truly reflects your journeys. Customizing your ceremony to be YOUR ceremony is very important to me. I want you to feel as though it was memorable and special and all Yours. Choosing an officiant isn’t easy, there are a number of questions you may have, you may want to go with who feels “right” and that is imperative that you do so. I am comfortable with officiating a wide variety of ceremonies and always welcome assuring couples that together we will create a ceremony respectfully and lovingly. So contact me. We can chat and plan a wedding day and I am here to help in whatever capacity that may be…

Where do I even begin to express our gratitude for Shelley, our incredible wedding officiant? From the moment we connected, it was evident that she was not just a vendor but a true partner in making our day extraordinary. Shelley's ability to craft vows that resonated deeply with us left us speechless—tears welled up in my eyes as we exchanged promises based on her thoughtful questionnaire. Shelley's presence on our wedding day elevated the entire experience to something beyond special. She didn't just officiate; she radiated warmth, love, and sincerity, infusing every word with genuine emotion. Her calming presence was a balm to my nerves the night before, and her thoughtfulness and investment in our happiness were palpable throughout our journey. Our families couldn't stop raving about Shelley—her warmth, her kindness, and her ability to make everyone feel included and cherished. In the midst of last-minute changes, Shelley stepped in to help us pick a location, and what she found was nothing short of magical. The scene she selected in Carmel by the Sea, with crashing waves against the cliffs, felt like something out of a fairytale or a scene from a movie—utterly breathtaking and absolutely perfect. Shelley, you are not just an officiant; you are a truly lovely soul who helped make our wedding day the stuff of dreams. Thank you for your kindness, your guidance, and your heartfelt words that will forever be etched in our memories. With deepest appreciation, Ellie & Daryan

We hired Shelley to be our wedding officiant for our (very) small ceremony at city hall. From the moment I contacted her to the day of our wedding, she was incredibly responsive and helpful. She sent us a questionnaire to answer via email and even though we may not have known her prior to our wedding, she wrote something that was very personal and absolutely perfect for us. If you're looking for a wedding officiant, look no further! Shelley is the best of the best!

Shelley was awesome! So glad I picked her to be my wedding officiant. It was tiny (just 2 guests) and a spot on the grass by the water and Shelley was responsive, early, profesional, and even had lotion when I was in a pickle!

I messaged a few officiants on thumbtack and immediately knew I wanted to go with Shelley based on the way she responded. Her energy is light, cheerful, and professional. She seemed genuinely excited to be our officiant and it just made the special day more memorable. She also seems to be adaptable and her interpersonal skills are strong. Whether you’re looking for something simple or more in depth nd detailed, I feel like she’s def a top choice.
