  Fantastic Wedding Officiant

  My husband and I were so pleased to have Sheri officiant our perfect wedding ceremony! We initially met over Zoom and she really took the time to get to know my husband and I’s relationship and history. She recommended all the readings and explained various vow versions. She listened to our ideas and requests as we went through edits making it feel like a team effort. The ceremony script blossomed into a story. As she delivered our story at our outdoor garden venue, the weather started to shift and ominous clouds rolled in adding to the ambiance. However, it did not bother Sheri. She continued to speak strongly and warmly as she walked around the alter, making our guests feel at ease.
  Sheri truly created the most special, unique, and heartwarming story ceremony. We can't thank Sheri enough for making our wedding day so memorable.

  Thoughtful and Sensitive Planning from Flow Ceremonies

  Before the legalization of same-sex marriage, we had already had a beautiful commitment ceremony attended by family and friends. When we decided to get married under the new law legalizing same-sex marriage, at first, we thought we’d just have an uneventful civil ceremony performed by a judge at the Cook County Clerk’s office. We didn’t want to attempt to relive that original ceremony by having a big celebration with a lot of guests, but we did we want to recapture the spirit and inspiration of that day while formally acknowledging where the commitment to our relationship had taken us over the years.
  We contacted Sheri Reda of Flow Ceremonies to help us craft our legal ceremony – a ceremony that would be just between the two of us and our officiant, but one that at the same time would have the same weight and importance as our first ceremony.
  We were not prepared for the level of care and attention that Sheri devoted to our ceremony. She took time to interview us on zoom and shortly after the interview, came back with a detailed draft of the ceremony, capturing a sense of who we are as individuals, the history of our couples, who we had become as a couple, and what we wanted to create and experience in our legal ceremony. She also sensitively added many of her own astute observations, demonstrating the close level of attention she had paid to us during the interview. She was very open to the feedback we gave her and to any changes we wanted to make to the ceremony she had designed.
  Sheri handled the entire planning process confidently and adeptly and it was clear that she truly cares both about what she does and about the couple she is supporting. She very successfully helped us to re-experience all the joy and inspiration of our original ceremony, while helping us to fully celebrate the next step we were taking to be recognized as a committed, legally married couple.

  Beautiful gravesite memorial service

  After me baby sister passed suddenly, we needed to find an officiant to perform her funeral service and found many glowing reviews about Sheri. She lovingly took the time to get to know our sister’s background, childhood, and adult life. Sheri gave such a heartfelt eulogy at the gravesite memorial. It was beautiful and we will all use it as we grieve and heal from our loss. She crafted special memories that everyone could relate to, and included a special prayer for our Christian burial. Sheri is very caring and skilled in her officiant service, and we are thankful to have found such a blessing in her.

  We were lucky enough to get Sheri to officiate our wedding on extremely short notice. Our original officiant was suddenly unable to perform our ceremony on 10/21/17 and Sheri came to the rescue. We met with Sheri for a few hours less than a week before our scheduled ceremony. She constructed a ceremony that made it seem like she had known my husband and I for years, not 6 days. Our guests loved how she was able to combine our chosen readings with her words and make everything flow so effortlessly. We highly recommend Sheri and Flow Ceremonies.

  We were so lucky to find Sheri to be part of our wedding. We had procrastinated to find an officiant, and Sheri was able to put together an incredible ceremony in a short time. Even after spending just a short time getting to know us, the ceremony she developed captured our personalities and our relationship perfectly. We worked with amazing vendors for every part of our wedding, but the one we received the most compliments for was Sheri. Everyone told us it was the best ceremony they had ever seen. A few people actually thought she might be my mother because the ceremony was so personal. We cannot say enough about Sheri - we will recommend her to absolutely anyone who asks!

  It was a delight to get to know Mallory and Mike and find the tone that reflected their moment. I hope to be their celebrant for many more milestones!

  Sheri was simply amazing. Initially we met in person and told her stories about how we met, what we liked about each other, how/why we decided on marriage etc. Then she followed up with a sheet for each of us to complete. Initially I thought "how much information could she get from these questions?" well that was before I understood how amazing she was. She then took that information and drafted our ceremony. Somehow through our onsite and questionnaire she got us entirely. She was able to understand our relationship, our past and what mattered most to us. She was able to incorporate parts of our lives in the ceremony and did it in a way that made it flow perfectly. After the ceremony concluded on our wedding day I heard compliment after compliment from family/friends at how good our ceremony was. They loved the flow and the peppering of humor in the ceremony. I had no less than 15 people tell me it was one of the best and most memorable ceremonies they have attended. In addition what people liked most was that it wasn't just the same verbiage you hear at wedding ceremonies, it was all about us and that in turn kept their attention the entire time. We are very lucky to have worked with such a professional. If you have the chance to use Sheri consider yourself lucky!

  Sheri was a pleasure to work with and did much more than just show up on the day. She drafted our ceremony, which we rewrote a lot of, but it was important to get the structure of it from her so we didn't have to start from scratch. I loved the "gentle homework" she made us do where we had to draft short answers to questions about each other and our history and relationship. Sheri was always responsive and professional, and she ran the rehearsal and wedding seamlessly. Honestly, I had a very hard time evaluating the ceremony itself from my perspective as a bride, but even though I felt a little deer-in-the-headlights I knew our ceremony was in good hands. Sheri is a very strong public speaker and didn't suffer the nervousness I did! Sheri also recommended all the readings we ended up using and succeeded in making our ceremony a transformative, spiritual experience, while keeping it completely secular. She never pushed an agenda on us and always listened to our ideas and requests. Thank you Sheri!

  I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Sheri and the service she provided. Sheri was very friendly, detailed, and positive from our opening meeting at Starbucks to our wedding ceremony. My wife and I had very little knowledge on the process of a non-religious ceremony but Sheri made it very clear and stress free. She put in a lot of time and effort to incorporate our life story and included readings and poems that matched our culture and desires. We had many guest at our wedding compliment and praise Sheri and how special she made our day. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a friendly and professional officiant for their wedding.

  Sheri was a great wedding officiant! Her life cycle celebrant philosophy was perfect for our non-denominational ceremony. During our multiple sessions and much email correspondence, Sheri developed this comprehensive picture of my husband and I's relationship, allowing her to create a unique ceremony personal to us. She spent time getting the details right, and afterwards she even made sure to get a neat copy of the ceremony as a keepsake.

  Sheri was a great investment in our wedding. When we had our first meeting at a coffee shop, Sheri opened with asking how my wife and I met. As we started to tell our story that we've told so many times, this time it felt different-- we emotionally felt comfortable with this person. The tears of love flew. Sheri's openess allowed this and she asked questions about key moments which allowed more tears. We instantly knew this was the person to officiate our wedding due to her receptiveness. After she gave a detailed summary of what she would do to create the ceremony, she gave us homework: questions about ourselves and our relationship. This was a bit nerve-wracking at first, but then fun and beautiful in the end as we shared our answers together later. Sheri was responsive and open to our theme and suggested edits of the ceremony. She provided drafts and would email them back. We edited and gave feedback and found that that she listened and we ended up getting everything we needed and wanted. The rehearsal and ceremony were professionally done. Sheri has works creatively on stage, she was engaging and none of our ceremony felt staged or over the top. She told our story genuinely. We would highly recommend.

  Sheri married my husband and I in June 2016. She was such a pleasure to work with. She met with us and learned what we wanted our wedding to be. She also was okay with us not have answers to everything. We definitely had not thought about all the details, and she helped walk us through all of it! Sheri gave us a “homework assignment” to answer questions about our relationship and marriage. We really enjoyed doing this and sharing our responses with one another. It helped us prepare for the big day and our lives together!
  
  Sheri shared with us her drafts of the ceremony and allowed us to have as much input as we wanted. She did such a wonderful job the day of our wedding and has a wonderful calming presence, that helped ease any jitters we had. We received so many compliments about how personal our ceremony was and how great Sheri was!

  I'm still not sure I can fully describe how wonderful Sheri was to work with. We met with her once and KNEW that she would be the perfect officiant for our wedding. Through a thoughtful series of questions and many back and forth e-mails, Sheri crafted a beautiful ceremony that represented our relationship; at times serious but punctuated with humor, filled with science and logic, and frosted with some geekdom. Many of our guests asked afterward if she was someone who we had known for a long time. I cannot imagine having anyone else officiate our wedding.

  I could not have asked for a better officiant for our big day. From our first consultation we just clicked with Sheri and knew she'd be perfect at capturing our story. Well we were blown away with how wonderful the entire ceremony was! Her presence and professionalism were unwavering and she truly helped make our wedding day special.

  Sheri at Flow Ceremonies officiated our wedding and did an amazing job. She worked with us to create a personal, touching ceremony that told our story and was loved by our family and friends. Sheri went through 2-3 revisions until we had the perfect ceremony for our wedding and personalities. We got so many compliments about how intimate and touching our ceremony was.
  
  Thank you Sheri!

  Sheri was a complete joy to work with--from the first meeting we knew we did not need to look any further, she was right for us. During our first meeting she was so engaged in how we met and what kind of relationship we had and she already was helping us bounce ideas around how we could incorporate my daughter and how we wanted to add a special part of the ceremony to my husband giving my daughter a special necklace. I am a huge nut when it comes to how I wanted out story shared and the details to be just right and Sheri was so flexible with changes and we were able to come together and really fine tune how we wanted to have the ceremony flow. I had and STILL have so many compliments on how personal and meaningful our ceremony was. I am so incredibly thankful we found Sheri to help us through our special day.

I am a huge nut when it comes to how I wanted out story shared and the details to be just right and Sheri was so flexible with changes and we were able to come together and really fine tune how we wanted to have the ceremony flow. I had and STILL have so many compliments on how personal and meaningful our ceremony was. I am so incredibly thankful we found Sheri to help us through our special day.

  Sheri officiated our wedding in October. She was a delight to work with; calm, funny, easy going and very nice, she really listened to what we wanted and created a beautiful ceremony for us. We went back and forth working through a series of small changes to her first draft and she happily kept tweaking until we were completely happy. From first contact through to after our day had come and gone, she was quick to respond and very helpful.
  
  She was able to do our rehearsal for us, and she just fit really well with our crowd, made us all feel at ease instantly. During the actual ceremony, she was charming and heartfelt. We continue to receive compliments on how unique, genuine and perfectly suited to the two of us the ceremony was. Credit due to Sheri Redi for her beautiful work.

  We had a pleasure working with Sheri on our wedding ceremony! Its been four months since we've got married and we still get compliments on our ceremony. Sheri took her time getting our story just right and she told it beautifully! She really made our day that more special. Anyone would be lucky to have her for their wedding day :)

  I loved Sheri as our officiant. The ceremony was professional, personal and intimate. People for the rest of the night were talking about how great the service was. Sheri did a great job at letting our guests get to know us.

  We had been together for 7 years (engaged for 3) & suddenly gay marriage become legal in. We were THRILLED, but hadn't a clue where to begin with planning the event. We were both raised Catholic, but certainly the Church didn't seem to be a fit. We wanted a ceremony that was somewhat traditional, but not TOO traditional. We googled, found Sheri's profile, then called & met with her within days. She was going to be the "first" officiant we met with, but ended up being the ONLY officiant we met with, because it was so evident she understood who we were & what we were looking for. She guided us through a very simple process of devising a one-of-a-kind ceremony that is still being regarded by our guests, as "the best wedding ever!" My husband's father said, "I've been to a million weddings, but yours was the first to make me realize just how important marriage is." My sister said, "Your officiant made me want to get married all over again!" So what was SO special? Sheri is a talented writer, an experienced listener, and she helped my fiancee and I re-visit the "roots" of the relationship. She crafted a ceremony that told OUR story of how we got to this day, why this day was so crucial, and why every person in attendance mattered. She's theatrical enough to maintain guests' attention, but not so dramatic that she "stole the show." Her balanced and heartfelt demeanor throughout the entire process is something I can only aspire to in my own professional endeavors. Her rates were more than fair, and her flexibility with our rehearsal and attire requests were kindly accommodated. We are truly blessed to have worked with her, and everything that followed after meeting with her, from selecting musicians to flowers to wardrobe to photographers to cake to food, was all so easy because she kept our intentions with the ceremony grounded and true to our mission. Our wedding day was the happiest day of our lives, and we are forever indebted to her.

  Sheri officiated my wedding on August 23rd and was wonderful through the whole process. I am Jewish and my husband is Catholic and we were looking to have a ceremony that incorporated both religions but wasn't over-the-top religious. Sheri was fantastic about hearing our wishes and tailoring our ceremony towards us! She would be very capable of performing a more religious wedding if that's what the couple wanted!
  
  Every choice, detail, etc. about out ceremony was tailored to us and what we wanted out of it. It never felt like a cookie-cutter ceremony, she even including our love story in our ceremony and wrote it so elegantly.
  
  She was wonderful about changing the draft throughout our year engagement as our ideas changed and out wedding became more fleshed out. And was always quite to respond to all of our e-mails.
  
  I highly recommend her!

  My fiance and I were introduced to Sheri Reda by our wedding planner. We initially met with her at Starbucks and talked for an hour about how we met, what we do for fun, what we're looking for in a ceremony, etc. We were looking for a secular ceremony that was personalized and had a lot of meaning. After this initial meeting, Sheri drafted up a ceremony that basically told the story of our relationship. It was so amazing and exceeded everything we expected. We were told by many of our wedding guests that it was the most sentimental and special ceremony they had ever been to. Sheri was organized, professional, and a joy to work with. We would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a memorable ceremony.

  Sheri officiated our service in August, 2014. I found Sheri at a friend's wedding and knew right away she had to perform my wedding. She did a great job of capturing the spirit of our relationship, telling the story we wanted to have for the ceremony, and mixing our two cultures/religions together to make a perfect ceremony. We would not have wanted anyone else to have performed this ceremony and would recommend Sheri to anyone.

  Sheri was professional and prompt. She was just so kind and caring, wanting to make sure our day was perfect. Sheri had wonderful suggestions regarding the location of the ceremony and wedding pictures. She wrote and performed a personal and touching ceremony script which had our us and our bridesmaids in tears. We were blessed to have found such an amazing person to make our wedding day so memorable.

  Sheri made or day extremely special. She is a kind, caring person who took the time to get to know us and personalize the ceremony. She even helped us find the perfect location to get married. We are extremely grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone we know.

  Sheri was the best part of our entire wedding. We got more compliments and wows for her story and ceremony than any other part of our grand and beautiful wedding. That is how good she is! We live out of town and Sheri was very accommodating, connecting with us by Skype. She had us do homework so she could learn more about us and our story. What a great exercise! We had fun filling it out and reminiscing about our past. Sheri created a custom ceremony that was so captivating. She is a storyteller and it is evident. She WOWED everyone! She was incredibly responsive and professional. She was available for the rehearsal and ceremony. Sheri rocks!!!!
