A By the Sea Wedding &The Monterey Stone Marriage Chapel

"Sherilyn was amazing! She was friendly and professional. She helped us with the details and we had our perfect wedding!"

"Sherilyn was absolutely wonderful! I could not have asked for it to go any better on my special day. She was there punctually and also very gracious about waiting for all my guests to arrive. She took care of all the paperwork for us making it a completely stress free day. The ceremony was so beautiful and perfect! Thank you so much!"

"A very well organized company. Sherilyn created a wedding that was personalized, creative and intimate for me and my wife. The day went off beautiful. John did a great job with pics. Thank you Sherilyn for making our day wonderful and special. With our sincere gratitude!!"

"This company mainly does by the sea weddings, but we recently had our wedding at the chapel and it was just a lovely experience. We wanted something small and intimate, without a lot of fuss planing it, on a budget, and they definitely delivered. We were from out of town and had about 20 guests total. Monterey is a beautiful city already, and the chapel was a cute little place. Just the right size for our group. My husband and I debated on doing a by the sea wedding but we really wanted to do it in December and that just seemed a bit too perilous. It was enough to be in the lovely town near the ocean basically the whole time. The weather was actually really nice for December though throughout our visit. Sherilyn was so helpful and accommodating with the vows, music, etc. Our look was a little unconventional and she seemed to enjoy it rather than looking side ways at us. We navigated Covid safely and without too much hassle. They even file the paperwork for you for a little extra fee so we didn't have to obtain the marriage license before hand. No court house yay! Just a great experience all around and perfect for what we wanted. Oh, a helpful tip to know is the chapel itself is down the way from the restaurant nearby. Using GPS, you see the restaurant first."

"Sherilyn was such a sweetheart to work with- we needed someone on short notice to officiate a simple ceremony due to our lack of knowledge regarding CA marriage laws. we initially intended to do a simple courthouse paperwork marriage with a private photoshoot, but when we were informed we legally needed a ceremony, she was very flexible and able to fit us in right away! she even did a small vows ceremony for us, which was adorable, intimate and painless for people as reserved and private as my (now!) husband and i. she was accepting, didn't judge our alternative lifestyle, and was quite open/friendly to chat with. our budget is extremely tight and we were relieved to discover she does military discounts as well. we both highly recommend booking her as your officiant! :)"
