I don't know if I could ever adequately express how special Melissa made our wedding day and the whole process of creating our ceremony. Honestly, for 90% of wedding planning, the ceremony itself was an afterthought for us but it ended up being one of the highlights of the wedding and that was largely because of Melissa's care, guidance and talent! I lost count of how many people told us this was the best ceremony they'd ever been to. If you want a meaningful, personal, fun and memorable ceremony, hire Melissa! Seriously, cut your budget elsewhere, she is worth every penny and more!Melissa Coe Ceremonies's reply:
OMGosh, Jamie and Michael, thank you! Your wedding was one of the highlights of this wedding season for me - so, so, so much FUN!!! Your story, vows, families, and friends were definitely thrilled to be there for you, happily paying attention to everything while laughing and crying and grinning from ear to ear. THANK YOU for being amazing! Joy joy joy to you both, always and forever!

Perfection
We couldn't have had anyone better to celebrate us in our adventure of marriage. Melissa was amazing from the beginning to the end and afterwards. She feels like family!Melissa Coe Ceremonies's reply:

Lindsay Sent on 03/02/2024Best Celebrant!!
Working with Melissa was fun, funny, reassuring, and 10/10 would recommend! She is very flexible, understanding, and genuinely wants to create a ceremony with you that will make you happy. My partner and I got so many compliments about the ceremony. I honestly wasn't looking for "the best" ceremony when I was looking for an officiant/celebrant, but I'm so glad we found her. She set the tone for the whole day, filled everyone with love and joy, and made our wedding even more special and memorable than we could have imagined. Side note: she will joke about standing out of the way of your photos (and she did do this!!), but I like Melissa so much, I'm glad that she made it into some of our photos!!Melissa Coe Ceremonies's reply:
Oh my, my, my, Lindsay and Adam...
I hope you had a great time in Mexico soaking in the sun and cocktails, relaxing, and getting away from all of this PNW grey skies and rain but I wanted you to know how much I LOVED collaborating and writing your ceremony with you, loved our conversations, edits, and the whole process of getting to where you both felt authentically heard and seen. I do hope we see each other again someday, would love to know the next chapters in your story, greatly appreciated working with you and wish you both all great things! You're the best!!!
Be well, don’t be a stranger, my thanks for the two of you,

Anna M. Sent on 01/18/2024So grateful to Melissa
We feel so lucky to have found Melissa to be our celebrant. She provided us with lots of guidance in creating a custom ceremony that felt unique to us, and she was wonderful to work with leading up to the ceremony.
Her presence at our wedding was the perfect mix of professional and warm, and she knew exactly how strike the right tone between serious and light-hearted without being sappy or cheesy. We would hire Melissa again in a heartbeat!Melissa Coe Ceremonies's reply:
What a total delight to work with Anna and Daniel who were fun, sincere, had a WONDERFUL story, fabulous custom, personal vows, and were intentional about including and remembering all those they love, both near and far. It was my absolute pleasure to meet, know and work with you!!! -

Scott S. Sent on 04/18/2023A wonderful ceremony made for us!
We found Melissa here on Wedding Wire and are so happy we reached out to her to officiate our elopement. She asked great questions during our initial meeting and was able to guide us through creating a short ceremony that was perfect for us. I would recommend Melissa to all of my friends and family!Melissa Coe Ceremonies's reply:
Thanks so much for your lovely words, Scott! It was wonderful working with you and Samantha and I loved meeting your family. The love you have for each other bought much joy and light to an otherwise cold, rainy, windy, but totally PNW Spring day! Happy, happy married life to you both!!! -

What we wanted - and didn't want!
We were not youngsters, having both been married before, we knew what we wanted - and what we didn't want. This was compounded by my being an event planner. I have opinions, as does my groom. And yet divine Melissa was able to gently, firmly, kindly and creatively direct us to where we wanted to go and to what we most wanted to do, experience, and share. What an incredible gift! Our ceremony was absolutely perfect.Melissa Coe Ceremonies's reply:
It is the highest of compliments when one professional asks another to represent them and their story on their wedding day - one of the most important days ever hoped for or experienced. I knew, respected, and valued April & Rob's creativity, intentions, and objectives and I was thrilled to accommodate! As a couple, they were resplendent, exuberant, and totally heads-over-heels in love at finding their forever love. Exactly and precisely what every couple hopes to have, OMG - such joy to be their Celebrant and Officiant - thank you forever!!! -

Cathy L. Sent on 07/11/2022Great officiant, made the wedding perfect
Melissa did a great job with our wedding. We had a small casual wedding but wanted to make sure it was clear how important the day was and how important our friends and family were to us. Melissa helped us craft a ceremony that fit all of our needs. We have a religious family but aren't' ourselves religious, and she also helped us navigate that. Ultimately, Melissa was one of the aspects of the wedding we received the most compliments about - she did a great job and really made our day special.Melissa Coe Ceremonies's reply:
So many thanks, Cathy for your kind words! I loved marrying you and Tyler, loved our mutual Kentucky connection, your father and friends, but mostly loved your sweet, sweet love story and the sheer delight you both had to marry your best friend. A sincere thank you for choosing me to be your Celebrant - it was a GREAT DAY! -

Laura B. Sent on 06/14/2022The ceremony no one will forget
If I had one word to describe Melissa, it would be joy...luckily, both she and I have an affinity for words, so I'm going to give you a lot more than that. ;)
We are Christians with strong faith, but a more progressive point of view than traditional. It was important to find someone who could honor our faith and weave it into the foundation of our ceremony, while also being an officiant who welcomes and values all people, is LGBTQ-friendly, and thinks of ways to create new, modern traditions. Melissa did all of this and more, and really captured who we are as both individuals and a couple. I know without a shadow of a doubt that she will meet absolutely any belief and way of life with the utmost respect and love for you.
Melissa is able to meet any couple where they're at, and will craft a ceremony that tells your story with so much life. Our ceremony was exactly what I had hoped for- it was all the feels! We had sentimentality, we had lots of laughter, we had respect, we had happy tears, and more than anything, we had love. So many people have commented on Melissa being the best wedding officiant they've ever seen, and I couldn't agree more. Melissa will bring your day to life, and the entire process of working with her up to that point is, again, an absolute joy.Melissa Coe Ceremonies's reply:
OMGosh! I LOVED marrying the two of you, you were both so much fun and hands-on with your ceremony (which I also loved!), knowing exactly what you wanted, and what you didn't. Please keep in touch, come back to Oregon anytime and I'll meet you in Oregon Wine country. Thank you so much for choosing me to be your Celebrant - it was my joy, delight and honor!!! -

Melissa was so wonderful to work with! She created the perfect ceremony for us which told the story of our relationship so beautifully and helped us to craft the ceremony around our personalized vows without the other seeing them before the big day! The ceremony was so magical; everyone loved it and loved Melissa! I couldn't have imagined a better wedding. -

Paul V. Sent on 10/03/2021Very skilled, very accommodating. A real professional!
It's said a lot in Melissa's reviews, but it's true: she's amazing! Melissa sat with us and we talked about what kind of ceremony we wanted. We wanted to write parts of the vows and she helped us find the right format and was always available to answer questions. Once she had the final ceremony written, she let us read and edit and read edit some more until we were completely satisfied. On the day of, we were impressed and delighted by Melissa's organization, her professionalism, her skill and her charisma. In the end, we were completely delighted with our ceremony and we couldn't have asked for a better celebrant. Its almost a shame we won't need to get married again, so we can't hire Melissa again! -

Emily S. Sent on 09/28/2021Melissa is Amazing!!
Melissa is extremely organized, timely, and very responsive. We were able to read and practice our ceremony before the wedding. All our guests commented on how wonderful she was. Our day of coordinator said she was the most organized officiant she has ever worked with. She prepared a beautiful ceremony and I couldn’t be happier with our choice to go with Melissa. -
