Sherman Harris
Ordained Minister in Buckeye, Arizona
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
Hi, I'm Sherman. I’ve spent my career helping people celebrate life’s biggest moments—with laughter, music, and meaning at the center of it all. What began as a journey in the wedding industry as a DJ and Master of Ceremonies eventually led me to something even more fulfilling: becoming a wedding officiant.
I got ordained in 2005 as a natural extension of my work, thinking it would be a great way to offer even more to the couples I served. After years with one of Michigan’s top wedding companies, I launched my own business in Phoenix, AZ. A few years later, my wife and I followed a dream to Ibiza, Spain, where I was a resident club DJ. Let’s just say: after that experience, it was clear I had climbed the DJ mountaintop—and I was ready for something deeper.
During my time in the wedding world, I had too many conversations with same-sex couples who struggled to find someone willing to officiate their ceremonies. It shocked me—and it lit a fire in me. I knew I could do more than just help people dance. I could help them feel seen, respected, and celebrated.
Becoming a wedding officiant wasn’t just a business decision. It was a calling. There’s a unique joy in standing beside two people as they promise forever. Whether it’s bringing warmth to a ceremony, offering comfort during a difficult time, or simply being someone couples can trust—I consider it one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
I’m a Certified Elite Personal Trainer, a Voice Artist, a DJ, and a Minister. But most importantly, I’m here for you.
