Minister Sharnise Sears - A Wedding Officiant Service

03/12/2026

I don’t just show up to officiate ceremonies.

I show up as an advocate for authentic (not perfect) relationships, intentional (not aesthetic) marriages,
and a wedding industry where love, diversity, equity, and inclusion are honored.

This work doesn’t stop at the altar 🤍

What’s a wedding? There seems to be a bit of confusion about it ⬇️

One of the most important moments of the day happens right here at the altar.

Not rushed.
Not chaotic.
Just two people, standing with confidence and peace, ready to begin their marriage.

That kind of moment doesn’t happen by accident.
It comes from intentional preparation.

And it’s always an honor to stand there with couples as they step into it. 💍

Dear Wedding Pro’s,

This wedding season can we stop being cynics?

Can we allow couples to have the music, traditions, and trends they want to have without your two cents?

Can we just look at weddings as a celebration?

Just asking.

Grateful. Grounded. Growing.

As I look back on this beautiful wedding from last year, I can’t help but sit in deep gratitude for what this year has brought. The connections I’ve made from couples and families to Cleveland’s amazing wedding pros turned real-life friends have been some of the most genuine I’ve experienced in my 9 years in this industry. And y’all, 2026 is already looking BIG. 🙌🏾

Things will be shifting over the next two years (in a good way), and I can’t wait to bring you along for the journey. Stay tuned. 💫

PS: I’m currently still recovering from surgery and will be resting until mid-January. So if you’ve got a funny meme, a good show/book/doordash rec, or a kind word, send it my way! I may be down, but your love keeps me active. 💛

✨ Honored. Humbled. Hopeful. ✨
I’ve been named one of The Knot’s Ones to Watch — recognized as The Advocate — and y’all, I’m still processing this moment.

To be acknowledged for my commitment to love, equity, and inclusion in this industry is more than just a personal milestone — it’s a win for every couple, every vendor, and every voice that deserves to be seen, heard, and celebrated at the altar.

I didn’t get here alone. To my clients, the ones who trusted me to stand with them on one of the most sacred days of their lives, thank you 🙏🏾 And to my peers in the wedding industry: may we continue to uplift one another, do work with heart, and make space for everyone at the table!

This is only the beginning. 💐

There’s something special about standing at the altar with no doubts in your heart and no weight on your chest. Just clarity, love, and peace ✨

That kind of confidence doesn’t just happen, it’s built. Through conversation, understanding, and a whole lot of honesty before the big day.

Premarital sessions help you show up fully and not just for the wedding, but for the marriage that follows.

I’m Minister Sharnise, your certified premarital coach and wedding officiant. I don’t just show up on the wedding day, I walk with you every step of the way.

Most people think officiants just show up and read from a script. And honestly, some do. And that’s okay too 😏

But for Riley & Patrick, who wanted their story told…finding a time to meet took a minute. So while they were busy, I was already doing the work: listening, learning, paying attention to their energy and finding the story.

And when the ceremony was done, they asked, “How did you know all that?”

💁🏽‍♀️Because I made it my business to know.

The best ceremonies sound like the couple…not a checklist.
I don’t just perform a ceremony. I create a moment that reflects your truth.

A wedding is a celebration of love ✨ and it’s also the first installment of the plan to be someone’s forever.

Taylor & Bradley said “I do” with open hearts and big smiles, but more importantly, with a willingness to learn each other all over again.

💡 My unsolicited first year of marriage advice?
Spend the first 365 days asking one simple question:
“Is there anything I can do for you today?”

It builds trust, softens rough days, and helps you grow in your new positions as partners, as teammates, as forever witnesses to each other’s lives.

Here’s to your next chapter 🥂 And the next. And the next. 🖤
