Made my wedding a dream come true

Cheryl was so attentive and knowledgeable. She is the one who told me about the Carlyle house where we could have a beautiful ceremony. It was a micro wedding but it turned out to be more beautiful than I was expecting. She made choosing a ceremony script very easy. She meet with me over Zoom to finalize the details and she was there on time at the event, looking beautiful and ready to go. She is worth it.

Great Experience!

We had a wonderful ceremony performed by Cheryl! We are so thankful to Cheryl for making our special day amazing! She is warm, authentic, passionate, with good sense of humor and with unique approach. We really wished for not too formal, more personal ceremony, and Cheryl was excellent to create that special, warm and fun environment. Prior the wedding she took very serious preparation and tried to learn as much facts as possible about us and to understand what kind of ceremony we want. Very professional! We absolutely loved the entire experience! Couldn't be happier!

We are so grateful for Cheryl!

Cheryl is so comforting and allowed us to customize our ceremony to work with my Vietnamese Tea Ceremony traditions. Her experience ensures that she will have the resources and advice for a young, soon-to-be-married couple. Even in the face of a global pandemic, she helped us say I do with ease. Thank you so much for marrying us!!
