Susan Vinson Sherlock
Ordained Minister in Valdese, North Carolina
About Me:
When selecting someone to marry you, renew your vows, or bless your home, you will want to find someone to match your personal style as well as maintain composure and remain calm in all situations. It is a time you will want to remember as heartfelt, intimate, and exciting for years to come.
I have 20+ years wedding experience, not as a minister, but as a musician. I have worked with dozens of brides over the years in the months before their big day and assisted them in planning their ceremonies. I am an empath and a spiritual person, so the selection of music very often expanded to discussing verses, prayers, candle-lighting, and even some counseling. I am detail-oriented by nature which allows me to offer reassurance, offer gentle suggestions, and gracefully adjust to a variety of situations on the spot. I performed music for same-sex weddings, Wicca ceremonies, hand-fastings, and a variety of traditional religious, as well as secular ceremonies. I am now eager to use this experience as a minister.
I am now retired, but in addition to my career as a musician, I also enjoyed 32 years as a college instructor. Working with students allowed me to become an efficient organizer, planner, evaluator, counselor, advocate, and cheerleader.
So if you are planning a wedding, renewal of vows, hand fasting, house blessing, or other ceremony, and are in need of an officiant/minister, I hope you will contact me. I will be happy to chat with you and answer any questions you might have.
Please note that the fees/travel shown on this page are flexible. So if you have something other than what is listed here in mind, let's talk, as I am sure we can work out a plan to make sure you have exactly the type of ceremony you desire.
