Mel was spectacular. Our dream was to be able to incorporate our thoughts on readings and our personality into our wedding ceremony. Mel worked with us through the process. We were delighted to meet with her months ahead of our wedding and she really gave some good ideas to add to the ceremony. It was the best day of our lives and everything we dreamed of! Thank you, Mel

Melanie was exceptional! From start to finish she was there answering any questions we had and always provided advice and examples when needed. Was thorough during the rehearsal and ceremony was PERFECT! We even had a little issue with getting her signed copy of the marriage certificate from the court house due to a fire at the local post office and she was kind enough to meet us and sign our marriage license again for us. Thank you Melanie!!

My husband and I feel so very lucky to have been able to work with Melanie! As a vibrant, professional, and kind individual, Melanie exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding day. She was thoughtful and considerate of all our wants for our day. She had wonderful ideas that enhanced our ceremony. Melanie is incredibly well spoken, and her delivery of our ceremony was absolutely effortless. I would ask Melanie to narrate my life if that was possible! My husband and I 10000000% recommend Melanie for anyone looking for an elegant and graceful officiant.

Melanie recently officiated my wedding and she did a wonderful job! She made sure to get to know us over the phone, was early to both our rehearsal and ceremony, and did a beautiful job. She truly can accommodate whatever you’d like your ceremony to be. She provided a sample script with so many choices for each part of the ceremony. She also mailed in our paperwork right away which was so nice to not have to worry about it on our honeymoon. We highly recommend Melanie!!

Melanie was a pleasure to work with, and was truly patient with our scheduling needs. Due to COVID, we had to reschedule our wedding multiple times, and each time Melanie worked with us to accommodate our schedule. She and her husband are heartwarming people. We had such a great connection with Melanie that it felt as if a family member was our officiant. We can honestly say that Melanie's special touch, excellent written script of our vows, and heartwarming, and caring personality added the special and remarkable touch that is needed at a wedding. If you truly want someone who will make an amazing experience even more magical, I would highly recommend Melanie as an officiant.

Melanie is wonderful! She is sweet and very bubbly. During our first phone call she throughly explained the process and what she does. She assisted with sample cermony wording to make our selections easy. I would recommend Melanie to anyone!

Finding the right person to marry you is truly a challenge. Melanie made this challenge a breathe of fresh air for us! As a very high strung bride I was constantly emailing her and checking in even though we hired Melanie almost 1.5 years in advance! She handled everything with the most professional attitude possible. Her joyful, kind hearted presence is exactly what we were looking for in an officiant. Melanie did a phenomenal job customizing our ceremony to exactly what we wanted. It has been over a month since our wedding and our guests are still talking about how much they loved our ceremony, and the officiant! We are extremely pleased with her services and are hopeful that other couples will get the chance to have the same wonderful experience we did!

Melanie is fantastic!! She was so bubbly, kind, and welcoming, and her voice is made for officiating! Melanie helped us so much along the way giving us advice and guidance on certain parts of the ceremony. Our ceremony was everything we hoped for and more, and we can't thank Melanie enough for being part of our special day.

Melanie was awesome! She drove out for our rehearsal and wedding both, quite a hike for her, and even met us halfway between us and her home in order to help us with paperwork! She was so sweet, and our ceremony was everything we could’ve asked for!

Melanie is amazing! We had our elopement ceremony in November, 2021 in Philadelphia, where we don’t really know anyone but love the city. I started doing research and came across her. After reading her reviews and seeing her photos I immediately contacted her to ask if she was available and to our luck, she was! We had a wonderful conversation to get to know each other a bit and we knew we wanted her. Not only is she professional, she is an all-around lovely human being who made our day so special. You will not be disappointed.

Melanie was fantastic! She was so kind and easy to work with. From start to finish she helped throughout the process. Melanie was very easy to communicate with; we had a few phone calls in the beginning and we built out all the ceremony details over messaging. She even continued communication after the ceremony to make sure everything with our marriage certificate was complete. We couldn’t be happier with Melanie as our officiant and highly recommend to everyone!

Melanie was wonderful to work with and helped make our wedding ceremony exactly what we were hoping for. She met with us in person weeks before the wedding and we worked together through email to iron out the specifics of our ceremony. Her guidance was perfect and she had a wonderfully welcoming personality for not only us, but also our guests. She was well prepared on the wedding day, arriving early, with a stamped envelope ready to mail our signed marriage license back to the county courthouse at the conclusion of the ceremony. What drew us most to her was her warmth and energy!

Melanie was a joy to work with. Her high energy and care that she put into helping with our ceremony was everything we needed. We had interviewed with a few other people but knew right away when speaking with Melanie that she would be our officiant! She was open and respectful of the things we wanted to accomplish while providing good insight into things we didn't know to think about. We were so pleased that we chose her and highly recommend you chat with her about your big day. Thank you, Mel!

Melanie was an absolute gem. We met Melanie twice before the wedding and felt that we were out with a friend. She took the time to get to know us and incorporated the information into our wedding vows (second wedding for both). Our wedding ceremony couldn’t have been more beautiful thanks to Melanie. We highly recommend contacting her if you are planning any type of service.

Melanie was wonderful! Our plans changed due to COVID and she was able to get us in last minute. We had a great conversation about what we were looking for and she sent us several options for each part of the ceremony so it turned out exactly like we wanted. Everything was beautifully written, it was hard to choose! We didn’t want a traditional or religious ceremony and she nailed it. She arrived early on our day, which was a comfort because I was late (of course the bride was late). We couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out, it was a perfect backyard ceremony and she even took a photo of the few guests we had so everyone could be in the picture.
Highly recommend working with Melanie if you’re looking for a beautifully written, unique ceremony!

Melanie was wonderful to work with. Even though we didn't get to meet her in person until our wedding day due to the pandemic,
it was always easy to get in touch with her over the months leading up to our ceremony if we ever had questions/concerns. Her warm and familiar presence was a perfect fit for us--it felt as though we had known her for years! She helped us personalize our ceremony by incorporating cultural traditions, which really made our experience so unique and memorable.

I would highly recommend her!!

My husband and I had Melanie officate our wedding for us. She was so wonderful! She went out of her way to meet with us, so we could chat in person! Then she gave us so many examples, and helped guide us in what we wanted said at our ceremony! She made it such an easy process, and helped to take some stress off of us! I highly recommend her!

Melanie was AMAZING! She made every part of our ceremony so personal. She was very much a big part of our special day and we are so grateful to have had her as our officiant. We didn’t know much about weddings at all going into our own (having not been to many, haha) and she helped make us comfortable and helped us understand how everything would go! Everything went so smoothly. Thank you, Mel.

I truly can't even begin to share how wonderful it was having Melanie officiate our wedding this past October!
From the very first time we met up with her to discuss our vision for our big day, to the day itself, she went above and beyond. She catered to our very individual personalities (we got married at a zoo and are not particularly religious) and gave us guidance through the entire process.
She took care of everything, paperwork, the microphone mishap (venues fault not hers!) The rehearsal, walk through, the ceremony timing, and the structure of our entire ceremony. And, she did it in her calm, reassuring and warm way that not only put everyone at ease but also a smile on all our faces.
The most intimidating and intimate part of getting married is the ceremony and Melanie was the main reason we didn't feel anything but comfortable and happy durring ours. She's truly one of a kind and I would highly, highly recommend her for your special day!
