About
I have been officiating weddings since 2017 and have learned that not every couple is looking for the grand over the top ceremony but they should still receive 5 star service! Through Thumbtack only I am offering my simplest services called the Sign & Celebrate. The couple brings along their valid marriage license and two witnesses and I get to marry them. No muss, no fuss! All signings take place in my studio, Sign and Celebrate, which is located in Downtown Tacoma.

I can’t thank Cherise enough! Not only was this such a pleasant and easy experience but it was also very sweet and nicely put together! We wanted to handle all the paperwork as needed before our officialwedding ceremony and Cherise did just that in a cinch!
I will definitely recommend her services to some of my close friends and family! Thank you Cherise!

I want to say thank you to, Cherise! My husband and I got married last weekend and boy was the ceremony magical. From the time we booked with Cherise to leading to the wedding, communication was on point. Cherise took our questionnaire and made our ceremony memorable. Thank you to the best officiant out there. PS. we have the same first name so she must be great!

Cherise is an amazing officiant. We had a simple ceremony and she helped to keep it that way by showing up on time, being prepared to guide us all the way, and on to paperwork. She was very prompt and made us feel comfortable. We will be using her again for the big ceremony with our family. We highly recommend her to everyone.

Cherise is very professional and responsible. She provided us many guidances with details which are very helpful to us as we had 0 experience of wedding ceremony. She brought us a comfortable and wonderful wedding ceremony and we are very satisfied with her work.
