Melanie is a rock star!

Melanie was terrific to work with. Her three question process was so fun and added such a nice, intimate touch to the ceremony. Her process helped my husband and I feel less nervous about exchanging our vows in front of a crowd, and made us excited to know what the other had said. She coordinated a ceremony that expressed our love perfectly. 10/10 would recommend to any couple!

Amazing!

Melanie is incredible! She truly captured what we wanted for our ceremony. Not only is she extremely professional, but super easy to get in contact with whenever you need! She is so kind and caring and just wants your day to be perfect. Also after the ceremony, she gave my husband and I some amazing advice that I will truly never forget! Book her if you know what's good for you!!! :)

5 stars for Melanie

Melanie was WONDERFUL. She was extremely responsive and very helpful. We got down to the wire and she took our vision and was able to make the perfect ceremony from it. I had many guests (family) ask me how I knew her and tell me how wonderful the service was.

Martin Wedding

We decided to have a small wedding in Charleston SC at White Point Garden (Battery Park). Living in TN and doing the wedding planning ourselves, we had to depend on reviews and searches online. We had a last minute change with our officiant and had to look for another one. With on less than 2 weeks to our wedding, and right before Christmas, we were little nervous that we would not find someone. After doing a intense search, reading all the reviews, and email several, we got a call from Melanie and we knew after our conversation she was the one. From first conversation, to emails back and forth, to additional phones call, to rehearsal to the wedding, she was hands down AMAZING!!! She paid attention to every single detail and had amazing suggestions for the ceremony. After meeting her the first time, I thought we had been friends for awhile. She made our wedding so special from rehearsal to when we were signing our licence. Her three questions were a HUGE hit and our family and friends are still talking about it. She even spend some quality time with my husband to learn more from him about his three questions. I was amazed how amazing our wedding went with the little time that we had to put it together. But it was everything and more than we dreamed, and it was because of Melanie! My only regret, I wished we were able to work with her earlier with Marriage Counseling. At the end, she spend some time with us to give us some advise moving forward with our marriage. I loved hearing about her and her husbands story. If you looking for someone for our wedding, look no more, Melanie is your person. We loved working with her and was honored to have her a part of our special day. Thank you Melanie for everything and making our wedding all that prayed, cried and hoped for. You were a God Sent.

Awesome Ceremony

Melanie did an excellent job with our wedding ceremony. She asked us questions and gave us exactly the kind of ceremony we wanted. She was always quick to call back if we had any questions and she’s very professional. Melanie was awesome!!! Would highly recommend her in a second!

Melanie is awesome!!

Melanie was great! She was prompt to answer questions, very professional and very nice. She gave us 3 ceremonies to look at and we could pick and choose passages from each. We did that and Melanie put together a beautiful ceremony. Even our guests commented on how beautiful the ceremony was. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone. She really was awesome!! Thanks Melanie!! ❤️❤️❤️

A lucky find

I was searching for an officiant for a wedding that we wanted to happen ASAP. My fiancé and I had been engaged for over 3 years and we were both just ready to be married already. After doing a google search and calling 2 phone numbers where nobody answered Melanie then answered the phone. She was so friendly and warm. She asked my fiancé’s name and then called him by name throughout the rest of the conversation. Our phone call took place on Friday Dec 28th and she said she would be available Monday Dec 31st to marry us. We were so pleased and flattered that she would be available so soon AND that she’d take the time out of her New Years Eve holiday to marry us. We promised we wouldn’t take much of her time. We emailed a few times over the weekend ironing out details. Day of, she showed up early and was so calm, kind and professional. Melanie was truly a pleasure to work with and I’m so thankful she took a chance and answered the phone that Friday night to talk to a crazy girl like me trying to get married as fast as possible. :)
