    Meet Sharon Russ-Hendrix

    About Me

    Serving others has been the cornerstone of my adult life. My journey began with honor in the United States Army, where I learned the profound importance of commitment, structure, and standing by your word. Following my service, I sought ways to foster meaningful connections in my community. First, I continued to serve Veterans as a Veterans Benefits Administration employee, where I supervised Claims Processors. Then in 2021, I became an Ordained Minister of American Marriage Ministries. I bring the same dedication, precision, and deep respect for solemn oaths from my military service to my role as a wedding officiant. Whether you are planning destination weddings, intimate elopements, or traditional wedding ceremonies, it is my privilege to help you craft and execute a ceremony that faithfully reflects your unique love story and marks the beginning of your lifelong mission together.

    My Promise to You

    My commitment to you is simple: to provide a seamless, heartfelt, and professional experience for your wedding ceremonies, whether they are destination weddings or intimate elopements. I believe your wedding day should be filled with joy, not stress. I will work diligently with you to craft a ceremony that reflects your values and story, and I will be your steadfast guide from our first planning session to the pronouncement of your marriage.

    My Why

    After years of serving a larger mission in the Army, I now find profound meaning in serving couples on one of the most important days of their lives, whether it's for destination weddings or intimate elopements. For me, it's not just about leading the wedding ceremonies; it's about honoring the trust you place in me to perfectly capture the spirit of your partnership. There is no greater privilege than helping you launch your new life together.

    Unforgettable Ceremonies by Hitched by Hendrix

    Destination Weddings: Your Celebration, Anywhere

    Your wedding day should be as unique as your love story, and for many couples, that means exchanging vows in a place that holds special meaning—a sun-drenched beach, a mountain vineyard, or a historic city far from home. I am honored to travel to your chosen location to help you create beautiful and seamless wedding ceremonies, no matter the destination. 


    Drawing on my experience in the Army, where precision and adaptability were paramount, I bring a focused, detail-oriented approach to every destination wedding. I handle the complexities of travel and coordination for destination weddings and elopements, so you can focus on the joy of your occasion. From ensuring all legal requirements are met to coordinating seamlessly with your planner, my goal is to provide a calm, reliable presence, allowing you to be fully present in the moment.

    Traditional Ceremonies - Timeless Traditions

    For many couples, the profound beauty of a wedding lies in its connection to centuries of tradition. These wedding ceremonies provide a deep sense of continuity, solemnity, and timeless elegance. If you envision a wedding rooted in classic rituals and dignified language, whether it's a grand event or an intimate elopement, I would be honored to guide you through it. 


    With a deep respect for the ceremonies and traditions that form our bedrock, I bring a sense of reverence and structure to your service. Whether you desire a fully traditional Christian, Jewish, non-denominational, or civil ceremony, I work with you to incorporate the elements that are most meaningful to you - from scripture readings and traditional vows to the unity candle or a formal pronouncement. 


    My commitment is to honor the gravity and beauty of these traditions while ensuring your wedding, whether a destination wedding or a local celebration, remains a personal and heartfelt reflection of your commitment. You can trust in my professionalism and attention to detail to execute a seamless and deeply moving service that you and your families will cherish forever.

    Intimate Elopements: Your Moment, Your Way

    An elopement is a powerful and deeply personal choice to focus entirely on the commitment you are making to one another. It strips away the pressure and pageantry of traditional wedding ceremonies, leaving only what matters most: your love, your promises, and the beginning of your marriage. I believe these intimate elopements carry a unique and profound beauty, and I am dedicated to helping you create a moment that is authentic, meaningful, and exclusively yours.


    Whether you envision saying your vows at sunrise on a mountain top, in a quiet forest clearing, or in the comfort of your own backyard, I will bring the same level of care and solemnity as I would to elaborate destination weddings. My role is to craft a personalized ceremony that honors the significance of your vows, ensuring it feels complete and heartfelt, even with the smallest of gatherings. I handle all the details, from ensuring the legality of your marriage to guiding you through your vows, allowing you to be completely present in the experience.

    LGBTQ+ Celebrations: Your Love, Your Ceremony

    Renewal of Vows - Celebrate the Love You've Built

    Love is a beautiful and universal story, and every couple deserves a wedding ceremony that tells their story with joy, authenticity, and respect. I am thrilled to serve and celebrate with LGBTQ+ couples, whether for destination weddings or intimate elopements. My approach is simple: your ceremony should be a reflection of you. Whether you envision a traditional structure or something entirely unique, I will work with you to craft a meaningful and personal experience. Your love is the focus here, and I am honored to help you proclaim it in front of your family and friends.

    A vow renewal is a powerful and joyful way to honor the journey you've shared, much like a celebration of destination weddings or elopements, and to look forward to the chapters yet to come. Unlike your wedding day, this ceremony is free from legal paperwork, giving us complete creative freedom to design a moment that is deeply personal to you and your unique wedding ceremonies. 


    My role is to help you craft a ceremony that tells your unique story. We can incorporate your children, share memories from your years together, and write new vows that reflect the depth of your partnership made solemn through commitments. I understand the weight and beauty of a promise kept. It is a profound privilege to help you reaffirm your lifelong commitment with the same dignity, honor, and joy it deserves.


    Let's create a celebration that honors your past and cheers on your future.
