My journey to becoming an ordained minister actually began with family. There was a possibility that I might be needed to officiate a family member's wedding, and I wanted to be ready if that moment came.

What started as a simple act of love and a willingness to help someone special to me opened the door to something much more meaningful.

I've always believed that life is about the connections we make, the love we share, and the moments we create together. Becoming ordained felt like a natural extension of who I am — someone who genuinely loves people, values relationships, and finds joy in making others feel special.

While my original reason was simply to be there for family, I came to appreciate the opportunity to help others celebrate one of life's most beautiful milestones.

Sometimes the most meaningful journeys begin not with a grand plan, but simply with a willingness to say, "If you need me, I'll be there."

I currently call Phoenix, Arizona home, although I've also spent a meaningful part of my life along California's beautiful Central Coast.

My experiences, both personally and professionally, have given me the opportunity to connect with people from many different backgrounds and walks of life. Along the way, I've learned that regardless of where we come from, we all share a desire to be loved, understood, respected, and connected to something greater than ourselves.

I believe home is more than a place on a map. It's the people we love, the relationships we nurture, and the memories we create together.

My hope is to bring warmth, meaning, and genuine human connection to life's most important moments.

Whether I'm helping two people celebrate their commitment to one another, offering encouragement during a difficult season, or simply being a compassionate presence when someone needs one, I want the people I serve to feel seen, valued, and supported.

I believe every person has a story worth honoring, every love story deserves to be celebrated, and even the smallest act of kindness can leave a lasting impression.

If I can help create beautiful memories, bring comfort when it's needed, and leave people feeling a little more loved than they did before, then I will consider my ministry a success.

Love Has No Boundaries

I believe love is one of the most beautiful things we experience in life, and that every couple deserves a wedding ceremony that honors their unique journey.

As an ordained minister through Universal Life Church, I am not affiliated with any particular religion. My approach is rooted in openness, kindness, respect, and the belief that love brings people together in extraordinary ways.

Whether you envision a traditional ceremony, something spiritual, a celebration incorporating your personal faith or cultural traditions, or a completely nonreligious experience, my goal is to create a ceremony that feels authentically yours.

I don't believe there's one right way to celebrate love. I believe in listening, understanding, and creating meaningful moments that reflect the people at the heart of the celebration.

Your love. Your beliefs. Your story. Your ceremony.

I believe what makes my ceremonies special is the genuine love, warmth, and personal connection I bring to each one. I've always had a passion for people and their stories, and I believe every couple deserves a ceremony that is as unique and meaningful as the love they share.

I take the time to understand what makes each relationship special — the laughter, the challenges, the little moments, and the journey that brought two people together. My goal is to create a ceremony that feels authentic, heartfelt, and filled with joy, while honoring each couple's personalities, values, and beliefs.

I believe a wedding ceremony should be more than simply exchanging vows. It should be a beautiful reflection of two lives coming together, filled with moments that make you smile, perhaps shed a happy tear, and most importantly, feel the love that brought everyone together.

At the heart of it all, I want every couple to walk away feeling that their ceremony wasn't just something I officiated — it was something we created together, just for them.

Heartfelt Ceremonies by Shar

Your Love. Your Story. Your Moment.

Some of life's most beautiful memories begin with two simple words: "I do."

As an ordained minister through Universal Life Church, I believe every love story deserves to be celebrated in a way that feels genuine, meaningful, and uniquely yours.

My journey began with the possibility of officiating a family member's wedding. I simply wanted to be there if I was needed. What began with love for family inspired me to explore how I could help other couples celebrate their own special moments.

Whether you're planning an intimate elopement, a traditional wedding, or a destination celebration, I would be honored to help make your day unforgettable.

Based in Phoenix, Arizona, and available for travel, I offer personalized wedding ceremonies filled with warmth, joy, sincerity, and just the right touch of humor.

Because your wedding shouldn't feel like anyone else's. It should feel like you.

I believe life is made beautiful by the people we love, the kindness we share, and the moments that bring us together.

My journey has taken me through many roles, both professionally and personally, but the common thread has always been people. I'm happiest when I'm helping someone feel supported, bringing a little joy into another person's day, or creating memories that will be treasured for years to come.

As an ordained minister through Universal Life Church, I bring that same heartfelt approach to ministry. I believe meaningful ceremonies should reflect the individuals at their center — their personalities, beliefs, traditions, and unique stories.

Whether celebrating love, honoring an important milestone, or offering comfort during life's more difficult chapters, my goal is simple: to create an experience that feels genuine, personal, and filled with heart.

Above all, I believe kindness matters, love deserves to be celebrated, and everyone should feel that their story matters.
