About

As a spiritual interfaith ministry, Celebrations of the Spirit is a unique community where people of diverse experiences and backgrounds can come together. We believe that it is only through an exchange of ideas that we will truly be able to honor each other with tolerance, compassion, and finally unconditional love. This acceptance and openess gives Rev. Melinda the ability to create a wedding experience that is tailored to the couples wishes and beliefs about marriage and love.

Whether you plan to elope, would like a small "no fuss" ceremony, or plan to go all out with a ceremony created just for two of you, Rev. Melinda can provide a wedding ceremony that reflects not only the love, but also the specialness of your relationship. This is the most important day of your lives...let Celebrations of the Spirit put the heart...and celebration...into your special day!

Rev. Melinda is also available for vow renewal ceremonies, baptism and baby welcoming ceremonies, as well as memorials and funerals,

So grateful for Melinda!

Working with Melinda was amazing! She is so organized and makes the process very simple. I knew it was going to be the perfect ceremony after our first phone call together! She was very professional and we got so many compliments on the beautiful words Melinda spoke for us. We used her short and sweet package and were able to pull together a mix of different ceremony options to customize the ceremony to fit us as a couple. I am so grateful we found Melinda! Thank you again!!

Invaluable!!

We couldn't have picked a better officiant for our wedding! Melinda truly is the best. Our wedding had to be moved inside last minute and she helped come up with a new setup for the wedding party. She helped with boutannieres and anywhere else that she seen help was needed. I can honestly say that our wedding day wouldn't have been as perfect as it was without her.

Our experience was warm, inviting, personal, and convenient.

Rev. Angstadt was prompt with replies, very personable, and made us feel at ease. She made our ceremony a day to remember always. We would highly recommend her services!!
