Introduction
Hello! I’m Sharon, an adventure seeker, a storyteller, a yogi and wedding officiant. I have been officiating weddings since 2017. I began officiating weddings by serendipity when a friend of mine couldn't find a bilingual wedding officiant. I enjoy public speaking and I’m honored to have been a guest speaker and event host for a multitude of events. So, when the opportunity presented itself, I searched how to become ordained, when through the process and officiated my first wedding! Officiating weddings was not something I intended to do long term or as a business. However, through word of mouth, I began officiating more and more weddings. Last year I officiated over 60 weddings. Performing ceremonies gave me an opportunity to write scripts for my couples and create something romantic and memorable. Creating and personalizing every wedding is important to me, as I want to ensure the couple's essence can be felt through my words. During the initial introduction call, I get to learn about the couple, how they met, got engaged, and the quirky things about their relationship. I get to learn about their vision for their dream wedding/ceremony. If they decide to move forward, we work as a team to gather all the important information and begin drafting the script. Once this is completed, we make changes as needed and wait for the big day. On wedding day, I get to see brides walk down the aisle; I get to see tears of joy and many smiles. I have been fortunate enough to have been the first one to know about a pregnancy (minutes before starting the ceremony!) or hold the hand of a nervous bride. I have tied many ties, and have given out many tissues. As a professional, my goal is to ensure your wedding is as magical as you envision it. I want you to be comfortable, and assist in any way I can, sort of like a stand-in sister. I have officiated weddings in English, Spanish and bilingual. LGBTQIA+ customers welcome. Serving the entire state of Washington. I look forward to meeting you and your fiancé and helping you create the wedding you have always wished and dream of.

Sharon was absolutely amazing! She did such a beautiful job with our wedding script. It was important to us to include both Spanish and English in our ceremony because of our families and she made it flow beautifully. My husband’s family really loved that we included their first language. She was so nice and professional and worked so hard to make sure we loved everything about our script. I couldn’t recommend her enough!
