Sherifa Miranda-Tiamiyu
Ordained Minister in San Francisco, California
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I originally became an ordained minister online because I felt a strong calling to share my ministry of joy, love, and abundance with others. I believe that some of life’s most meaningful moments—weddings, baptisms, memorials, and personal milestones—deserve to be honored with care, intention, and heart. Becoming ordained allowed me to support people on their spiritual journey in a way that is inclusive, personal, and deeply meaningful.
Where are you from?
I'm from the Bay Area.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
For me, ministry is about creating space for connection—whether it’s guiding a couple through a joyful wedding ceremony, offering comfort during a time of loss, or helping someone reconnect with their spiritual path. It brings me great joy to celebrate life’s most important moments and to walk alongside others in both celebration and reflection, always rooted in love and purpose.

What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a San Francisco, CA wedding officiant?
What makes my ceremonies special as a wedding officiant is that they are deeply personal and intentionally crafted around the unique experience you want to share with your loved ones. I take the time to get to know each couple—their story, values, and vision for the day—so that every word spoken reflects who they truly are. Whether you envision something traditional, lighthearted, spiritual, or completely out of the box, I design the ceremony to honor your relationship in a way that feels authentic and meaningful.
My goal is to create an atmosphere where you and your guests feel fully present and emotionally connected, where the ceremony doesn’t just mark the moment, but becomes one of the most cherished memories of your celebration. It’s not about a script—it's about your story, told in a way that resonates with everyone in the room.
