About
I offer quality service with a smile. I want to work with the couple to experience the most important day of their life the way they want to. However, I can direct them in the proper protocol if needed.
I enjoy being a servant of the people. I enjoy helping couples come together physically, spiritually and helping to plan a financially sound future.
I do offer premarital counseling via technology with 3-5 in person consultations. It will be a rewarding experience to help you get started on the right path.

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding!!! From our very first meeting, they made us feel understood and comfortable. They took the time to learn our story and what mattered most to us, then crafted a ceremony that felt deeply personal and heartfelt.
On the big day, their calm presence and warm energy set the perfect tone. They spoke with sincerity and grace, making our guests feel included and engaged. Many of our friends and family commented afterward on how beautiful and unique the ceremony was — and we completely agree.
If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your ceremony meaningful, memorable, and stress-free, we wholeheartedly recommend them. They didn’t just officiate our wedding — they helped create one of the most cherished moments of our lives. Thank you!

Cheryl and her husband were exemplary at my recent wedding. I had been having trouble finding a pro who was still actively marrying people and still living in my area. She promptly responded to my inquiry and seemed happy to perform the marriage ceremony for me and Yonatan. I would recommend hiring her for your special day.

Not only were they willing to work with our crazy last minute plans, they gave us a beautiful service that was better than we imagined!! We ran away to elope in the name of love, and Cheryl gave a message about love that had us falling in love all over again. I've never seen my military man crack a tear, but I swear his eyes watered!
