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. -

Jamie Sent on 11/04/2021Exactly what we wanted
Celebrations of the spirit were very easy to work with. They offered 8 pre-planned ceremonies or we could have planned our own. We opted for one of the pre-planned ones and we loved it. Melinda was easy to get in touch with and was awesome on the wedding day. She made sure all of her questions were answered ahead of time and arrived early enough to tie up any loose ends. The ceremony was beautiful. Short and sweet, exactly how we wanted it. Something I appreciated was that Melinda was able to project her voice in an open meadow without a microphone, so those in earshot didn't hear the weird delay you always get with mics yet all of our guests could hear her well. -

Macy Sent on 12/11/2019I would recommend
My husband and I waited to the last second to begin looking for an Officiant . We reached out to Melinda who was very responsive. She helped us piece together a perfect ceremony that was beautiful. She was very helpful in the organization process and asked me questions I would have never thought of on my own. During the ceremony my husband and I both messed up a few words (we were nervous), but Melinda made the best of it- gave everyone a good laugh and we continued on. I would highly recommend. -

I am so happy we chose Celebrations of the Spirits to do our wedding ceremony. We appreciated the fact that we could interchange the ceremony, wedding vows and ring vows to fit what described us best. Melinda is warm and welcoming and so glad we chose her. -

Melinda was about as good as you can get from initial meeting in determining how we want our special day to be handled to the big event.
We chose to have a non-denominational ceremony with Melinda's most expensive package so we could personalize our ceremony. The extra cost was well worth it!
We had a few meetings and emails back and forth to customize our ceremony. We chose to do our love story and how we got together and personalized our vows to fit who we are. Melinda made recommendations where she thought necessary but kept the ceremony in line with what we wanted.
The ceremony led by Melinda moved at the perfect pace, she was very audible without a microphone to everyone there and did a terrific job with our love story, readings and vows.
If you prefer not having a stuffy ceremony, something you can make your own, we highly recommend Melinda. She was perfect! -

Melinda was a fantastic officiant for our "short & sweet" ceremony we elected. We were married with a symbolic ceremony in a foreign country and just wanted a small but personalized ceremony to legalize our marriage back in the U.S. We loved that we could customize the vows we wanted with sample ceremony scripts to pick from and piece together! Melinda is responsive to get in touch with. She is also very detail-oriented and thorough to capture exactly what we wanted! It was so nice after traveling to have Melinda come to our home for a simple 15 minute ceremony, photos included. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! -

Melinda was amazing from start to finish. She was always professional and thorough. From our first phone conversation we hit it off and she was one of the first vendors I booked. I knew she would be the perfect fit for our special day. -

Amber Sent on 06/15/2019Celebrations of the Spirit will help to ensure your ceremony runs smoothly and goes off without a hitch. Hire them today!
I would recommend Melinda Angstadt (Celebrations of the Spirit) for anyone's wedding day. Melinda was very accommodating and flexible and willing to go out of her way to work to make our ceremony perfect. Prior to the wedding, Melinda made time to meet with us at a location that was convenient for us both so that we could just chat and get to know her. She has multiple options for ceremonies (including vows, readings, etc.) and really allowed us to mix and match content to fit our needs. On the day of the rehearsal, a few members of our bridal party showed up 20-30 minutes past the rehearsal time. Melinda was willing to wait until everyone arrived before getting started, which was very much appreciated. The wedding ceremony went off without a hitch, thanks to Melinda. Her professionalism, flexibility, and desire to ensure that our day went smoothly was very much appreciated. I would recommend her to anyone who is getting married in the Lehigh Valley and surrounding areas! -

Mary Sent on 05/29/2019Amazing Officiant!
If you are looking for a professional yet friendly, funny and compassionate wedding officiant, look no further! We met Melinda at an open house at our venue, Meredith Manor, a year or so before our 5.17.19 wedding. It was clear after speaking with Melinda for just a few minutes that she is a kind person with a passion for making each wedding ceremony a unique and memorable experience for the couple and for the guests. She was very responsive whenever we had questions and allowed us some creative space to make the ceremony our own. Melinda sent out a questionnaire several weeks before the wedding to gather details that she would need to plan the ceremony. She attended the rehearsal (for a small fee) and made everyone feel comfortable with how the ceremony would unfold the following day.
On the day of the ceremony, we could not have asked for more. She was dressed professionally (and looked beautiful, by the way) and was warm and welcoming. She led the way through the ceremony and was very engaging throughout. I had several compliments on how great the ceremony and officiant were.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, Melinda, for helping to make the best day of our lives so special! You are truly wonderful! -

Lena Sent on 08/01/2017Melinda was amazing! She is very experienced and our wedding ceremony went totally smoothly thanks to her expertise. She was very warm, friendly and professional. She took all of our requests into account and helped us create the perfect ceremony. It was a challenge for us with families from 2 different religious backgrounds but she helped us create a ceremony that was respectful of both traditions. I would definitely recommend Melinda to anyone planning a wedding. -

Stacie Sent on 11/16/2014Absolutely a 5 star review! Melinda was such a pleasure to work with leading up to the ceremony and had great advice and worked amazingly with our last minute changes. She provided heartfelt wording for different ceremony options and allowed us to mix and match and create exactly what we wanted. On the wedding day she beautifully led the ceremony, despite some less than perfect circumstances (like my veil falling out mid-ceremony and my new husband altering the vows to the amusement of our guests)! Melinda is such a sweet and calming woman that I would recommend to ANYONE looking for an officiant. Thank you so much for giving us our perfect ceremony!!! -

Keri Sent on 11/11/2013Reverend Melinda Angstadt was recommended to us by the Spring Ford Country Club in Royersford, PA.
When I called her, she responded right away and from the minute I spoke with her I knew she was perfect for us! From our first conversation and all through our planning process, her warm and friendly personality guided us through all the steps with patient professionalism. She made us feel like we had known her forever!
I gave Melinda some notes that I had gathered for our ceremony and she put everything together so beautifully! Our ceremony was so personal and extraordinary! We couldn’t have wished for more! We can’t thank Melinda enough and hope to stay in touch in the future because she feels like part of the family!

Beautiful ceremony, beautiful soul, beautiful day.
Rev. Melinda has exceeded our expectations with a loving and heartfelt ceremony again. God has truly blessed us to have such a beautiful person in our lives.
We couldn't have had a more perfect day.
Thank you so much for everything. -
