    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.

    My Weddings YOUR Way's reply:

    Susan and Ryan, I was so glad to be able to help you with your wedding. You were such a great couple to work with. Thank you for your kind words!

    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. :)

    Just What We Wanted

    Glad we found her. I interviewed 4 vendors and was shocked at how they priced things and that they refused to let us have a mixture of my Indian heritage and his Christian beliefs. Melanie agreed to do both. Thank you for such a great day.

    Everything we wanted and MORE

    Melanie helped us design a ceremony and was willing to let our friend read a poem. When she added her "three questions" into our ceremony, it changed the entire tone and our guests love it. We are glad to have her be a part of our family!

    Very flexible and easy to work with

    Melanie helped us write our own vows and made sure we knew where to go to get our license. When we were short on time from arriving on a weekend, she went with us to pick up the license from the courthouse. I could not have found anyone easier to work with and now she is like family.

    MELANIE IS THE BEST OUR THERE HANDS DOWN!!!!! Easy to talk to, really gets to know you in the short time you’re with her or even talking to her! Just as sweet when you meet her in person. Very personable and accommodating to whatever type of ceremony you’re wanting and even adds her own special touch to it. If I could get married a million times over I’d have Melanie as my officiant every time!! We loved her and hope to continue to have her in our lives!!!!

    Melanie was the first person I hired after booking our venue. She was the first and only Officiant that I met with. We clicked instantly. She is very down to earth and she will tell you like it is! She also became a venting outlet for me over the ten months of wedding planning and always offered a listening ear. We did not want a completely religious ceremony, but she is ordained so we were able to have a partially religious service to suit the style I wanted. I was able to set up the ceremony how I wanted. I have a daughter from a previous relationship and Melanie offered a special set of vows for the three of us to say together. It not only included my daughter into our ceremony, but EVERYONE said that was their favorite part!

    My Weddings YOUR Way's reply:

    I absolutely loved helping you make your family complete! It was a joy watching your daughter's face and I'm enjoying watching her grow up from all of your pictures. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it!

    Mrs. Melanie was an absolute blessing to work with. Her response time was amazing, and her willingness to help was a beautiful relief in what would otherwise be a stressful time. From first contact on, she was so easy to get along with, and I can't say enough good things about her wonderful demeanor, and her flexibility with our particular wedding style.

    On our wedding day, she also offered us some of the best advice we've ever been privy to, which I know my husband and I will always cherish.

    If you're looking for a down to earth, wonderful, experienced and calm officiant and you're reading this, I can promise you've found her!

    Melanie was a dream to work with. From our first conversation on the phone I felt at ease and in good hands. She took time to get to know me and my husband before officiating our ceremony. Several guests remarked that it was the loveliest and most unique ceremony they had been a part of. That was all because of Melanie and her 3 questions! Do NOT skip the questions. I will cherish the answers my husband gave for the rest of our lives! Melanie also took time after our ceremony to give us advice. It was very touching and appreciated. THANK YOU, Melanie!
    XO,
    Mary and Hunter

    Mrs. Melanie Murray was amazing! She tailored our ceremony to exactly how we wanted it. Even though our ceremony was short and sweet, she made it unforgettable. Everyone of our guest praised us on how sweet and intimate our ceremony was. We couldn't have pulled it off without Mrs. Melanie's help!

    We were referred to Melanie by another vendor in Charleston but she was one of the best decisions we made. Almost everyone that was at our wedding told us that our ceremony was one of the best they've ever been to. The personal touches to the ceremony and her delivery were so special. We even heard the word "compelling", which isn't something you automatically expect from a wedding ceremony. We can't thank you enough!

    After an extremely rough week and our wedding being cancelled. We had the absolute joys of being married tonight. Melanie Epps Murray is the absolutely best!!!! She kept a positive attitude the whole entire time and kept my spirits up and told me that we would make it happen. With a lovely intimate ceremony with immediate family and close friends tonight I got the wedding of my dreams. Thank you Melanie for braving Hurricane Matthew and proving that love conquers all!!!

    My Weddings YOUR Way's reply:

    Julia and Michael, I was thrilled to be a part of your day and so glad that we could work it out. Hurricane Michael certainly tried to stop us... along with police and National Guard...But we all got there. I'm just so happy that I was able to make it and that your wedding worked out so well!

    So, I'll start with saying our wedding was on in the freezing cold on the beach on January and it was a rainy week. Melanie was awesome both me and my bride were shaking it was so cold and I (the groom) looked like I was having a seizure because I was so cold on top of being nervous. Melanie did her best to keep me calm in the freezing cold while waiting on my bride to walk down the beach and take my hand. She came up with a beautiful and unique ceremony that suited us perfectly. She even understood when me being the absent minded goof that I am forgot all of our paperwork and waited for us at the reception to sign everything. I absolutely would not have been able to pick a better person to marry me and my wife. Melanie really is the best!

    Melanie provided my wife and me excellent service, during our wedding (and days prior). My wife and I only knew what we wanted our vows to be and Melanie helped us plan out everything that would be said, during our ceremony.

    When it came down to the time for the wedding to happen, we realized that we had not really planned out how everything would flow, but Melanie offered to step up and even help us there.

    If you're looking for anything from a normal service to a full on themed wedding, look no further.

    My Weddings YOUR Way's reply:

    Thank you so much, Matt for your kind words. I really enjoyed being a part of your special start to the next part of your lives. Blessings to you both!
