Barbara Rose Sherman

I first met Barbara as a student in her yoga classes. I loved her warmth and the uplifting spiritual connection she brought to her classes. When planning my wedding, I remembered that she was also a wedding officiate. I contacted her and she told me «I put my heart and soul into every wedding I officiate.» Well I have to say that was completely true! She spent more time and energy than I ever-​expected in working with us and supporting us! Before the ceremony, when I was running late and stressed out, she was there to help me through my anxiety with her yogic calm reminding me that everything will be okay. We have had so many complements on how great and perfect our wedding ceremony was. We will be forever grateful to Barbara for truly putting her heart and soul into creating a beautiful, glorious wedding ceremony. Mrs. Cindy Howe

We were lucky to have Barbara as our wedding officiant. At our first skype meeting with her, we immediately liked her warmth and enthusiasm. She met with us several times on skype during the wedding preparation and gave many valuable suggestions and advice throughout the process. She even found time to meet with us in person and we had a lovely lunch together in Santa Barbara, during which we talked about relationships, love, and marriage, and really connected.
At our wedding, she delivered a beautifully-​written ceremony filled with love and joy, and full of details personal to us. We wanted Jewish and Chinese traditional elements at our ceremony and she did a great job researching them and really conveyed the meanings to our guests. She even brought rose pedals to shower on us as we kissed. I think her dedication is truly remarkable.
All in all, I think Barbara really loves her job as a wedding officiant and will get to know the couple personally to create a ceremony unique to each couple. I highly recommend her!

I feel extremely lucky and grateful to have come across Barbara. She made our wedding ceremony worry-​free and simply spectacular! Several months before our wedding, Barbara gave us neat ideas — sample vows, readings and ceremonies — to incorporate within our ceremony and worked with us to the last moment in organizing and customizing it to our preferences. My husband and I live in Indiana and planning our wedding in Santa Barbara was not easy at all. Barbara was literally our go to person — she was always there to help with other aspects of the wedding. She even took the time and effort to taste and choose our wedding cake — which by the way turned out phenomenal! She also gave us several great recommendations for places to visit and dine in Santa Barbara for our out-​of-​town family. I would recommend Barbara highly — she is reliable, easy to work with, KNOWS what she is doing and LOVES what she is doing! She was prompt, warm-​hearted, always communicating ahead of time and went over and above to make our big day very special.

Barbara is the best! She officiated my daughter’s wedding and it was the highlight! The ceremony was unforgettable, unique and so personal. Barbara spent a lot of time with my daughter and her husband in order to make the ceremony as special as as it was! I highly recommend her. You will be thrilled! She IS the best!!!
