About

Love is love. I am proud to serve all couples who are ready to embark on the adventure of marriage. I am a non-denominational minister offering customized wedding ceremonies & premarital coaching. All ceremony packages include a ceremony consultation, ceremony & vow preparation, wedding ceremony officiating, marriage license filing, marriage certificate keepsake, vow cards for the ceremony, a rehearsal outline, digital copy of the ceremony, & a personalized digital copy of your vows.

I also offer premarital coaching that can help couples explore their strengths & opportunities for growth, teach useful communication skills, provide conflict resolution tools, help couples understand personality similarities & differences, develop a financial budget & set financial goals, and so much more. Best of all, it is fun! Couples who engage in premarital coaching have the opportunity to get a free ceremony!

Having a friend or family member officiate? I can help! For a small fee, I can work with your loved one to help them select a prewritten script or I can help them write something customized!

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.
