Such a wonderful officiant for our big day

Melissa is fantastic! She was so much fun to work with and we really connected while planning out our wedding ceremony. She has an awesome personality, very professional, and you can tell she loves what she does. Highly recommended.

A True Professional that loves a Love Story

We first met Melissa "virtually" and felt an instant connection which can be difficult through technology. During our second meeting, she took time to get to know us on a deeper level. We very much enjoyed the dialog as she took pages of notes that she ultimately would use to craft the most amazing wedding ceremony that truly was unique to us, our relationship and our love story. The experience was so positive that we also took advantage of the Prepare/Enrich program two weeks before our wedding. During what could be called a "pre-marital counseling session" my finance and I got an opportunity to better understand each other on a whole new level. Melissa provide so much value to the entire experience! We left every interaction feeling completely confident in having her officiate our special day. Melisa is so much more than just a wedding officiant with a file cabinet full of rehearsed ceremonies, she is a true relationship professional!

She was absolutely amazing!

Melissa was amazing, she really got to know us and made us feel very special! She gave us very detailed steps for the rehearsal dinner and for the actual wedding day. She made it comfortable and relaxing for my husband and my self.

Melissa is the best in the business!

We did premarital coaching with Melissa, and she officiated our wedding. She was so professional and personable! We loved getting to know her through coaching, and she made our ceremony so special because she knew us so well from coaching! All our guests were raving about how amazing she was. She taught us insights like looking at each other during the ceremony instead of her so our photos turned out perfect. She printed our vow cards and brought them day, and made everything so flawless! I could rave all day about how wonderful she is! Trust me there is no one better out there!

Responsive, Friendly and Customizable

Melissa was a fantastic choice for our ceremony! She made the process so simple and took extra care to respect our wishes and customize everything to our style. She was very friendly and even went the extra mile to provide vow keepsakes and file our marriage certificate for us! I was nervous about being married by a stranger, but Melissa honestly didn't feel like a stranger. She made us so comfortable that our ceremony was relaxed and beautiful. I highly recommend her!

Memorable Ceremony

Words cannot describe how Melissa created our wedding in a meaningful way. Never having met her before, she took the time to get to know us. Our one-on-one session before the wedding gave Melissa the eloquent words to create our ceremony. She thoughtfully arranged the service to reflect our relationship and express our gratitude for each other. Quite frankly, we wouldn't recommend anyone besides Melissa to lead a wedding ceremony. She was great at communicating and kept us up-to-date with what we needed to do on our part. She traveled over two hours to our wedding location in the dead of winter. LGBT-friendly.

Melissa is the best!

We had an intimate ceremony with just family, and wanted to keep it special and meaningful but yet still true to us. And she nailed it. We had such an amazing experience with Melissa, from the consultation to the ceremony. She did a phenomenal job! She included a funny quote that we wanted and delivered it so well, it was awesome. She was responsive throughout the whole process and was easy to work with. I would 100% recommend her services to anyone getting married, you won't regret it! Thanks Melissa!!!!

Melissa is great!

We loved working with Melissa! She was great and communicated with us throughout the whole process. We had a couple video conferences with her and she asked us so many questions to really get to know who we are. Plus she had everything outlined and even sent us drafts so we could see how it would look. She is so warm and friendly too.

Easy Going, easy to work with, GREAT at personalization!

I honestly thought that finding an officiant would be the hardest thing ever. Neither my spouse or myself are religious and we had a pretty strict idea of what we wanted. Working with Melissa was the BEST. The first time we met, we clicked SO well! We met one more time so she could get to know us more, and she could personalize our ceremony to us. She sent us options for every aspect of the ceremony and had us pick our favorites. She even prewrote some vow options (everyone thought we wrote our own and were so impressed lol!) She followed up and has been so reliable. I'm so glad that I was able to find her.

You won't be disappointed

Melissa was helpful during the whole process. From the first time we met with her, down to the day of our wedding. She was on time(early actually) very professional, nice and a down to earth person. She gave us a ton of options when writing our ceremony scripts, which helped us alot and she wrote them based off of what she learned about us as a couple when we met with her initially, so it was very personable and specific to us. She checked in with us multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed.

Her pricing was very reasonable. I would highly recommend her, she will do a great job!
