Sign and Celebrate sprang to life from the inspiring vision of founder Cherise! As an officiant, she noticed a gap in the wedding industry—for many couples a heartfelt ceremony felt limited by budget constraints or the coldness of a courthouse. After some exciting discussions with her close friend and co-founder Sam, they teamed up to create something truly special. Together, they launched Sign and Celebrate, providing couples with a vibrant and personalized alternative to traditional wedding ceremonies!
Cherise Klosner
Founder & CEO
Meet your favorite wedding officiant, a devoted professional who celebrates love authentically! What began as a dream on my bucket list in 2017 has turned into a flourishing business, allowing me to unite over 500 incredible couples. With honors like Washington Wedding Day’s Top Officiant, The Knot’s Best of Weddings, Wedding Wire's Couple's Choice, Loverly's Top Innovator and even a cameo on Netflix’s Love is Blind, I’m excited to offer a space where folks can celebrate in style. When I’m not officiating, you’ll find me as a proud wife and mom to two very cool kids with a slight obsession for orcas and astrology. Let’s make unforgettable memories together!
Sam De La Cruz
Co- Founder and COO
I’m honored to bring my passion for creating meaningful celebrations into every event hosted here. Originally from the Dominican Republic, my journey began in the culinary world as a chef, where I learned the importance of creating unforgettable experiences that bring people together. Now, as a mother of one, I understand the significance of celebrating life’s moments and the lasting impact they hold. With Sign and Celebrate, I want to craft a space that elevates love, simplicity, and elegance for every couple, offering a unique and accessible experience for intimate gatherings.
