The Best Ceremony!

When it came to our wedding officiant, Melanie was the obvious choice to marry us. We worked together through Zoom to customize the ceremony to exactly what we wanted. We knew we wanted a non-denominational, modern ceremony with a hint of tradition but we weren't quite sure what that looked like. Melanie tailored the ceremony perfectly to our desires. She incorporated what we wrote about our parents' marriages in a thoughtful way. She also provided us with several options of more traditional but still unique readings for a family member. There were many tears shed from our friends and family. It was a huge wedding season for our friends and we were told it was one of the best, if not the best, ceremony of the wedding season. From start to finish, it was a personalized ceremony that perfectly reflected us as a couple. Two years later, friends and family still talk about how beautiful it was! Melanie truly helped our vision come to life.
