Couples' testimonials
"Our wedding could not have been anymore perfect. Grant & Melanie were so great to work with and I am so happy that we found them. Melanie helped us with our pre-marital counseling and Grant married us. If it weren't for Melanie I'm not sure we would have walked down the aisle to each other (just kidding) but seriously she was fantastic in helping us deal with some long standing issues that are no longer issues! On the day we were married Melanie was at our wedding and was helping get everyone down the aisle on cue. Grant was THE BEST person to marry us. He got to know who we were and the tone of our wedding ceremony couldn't have been more perfect. The actual ceremony was the best - I had so many compliments on what Grant spoke about that some even asked if they could have a copy of the words - I told them Grant's info so he could help personalize a ceremony for them. I wish I could do it all over. Thank you so much Melanie and Grant - Bryan and I would not be where we are today without the help of you two. Seriously we had the best day and a large part of that was due to you two. Thank you so much. Love, The Cox's"
"I could not dream that the process for putting together a ceremony would be nearly as easy or comforting as Melanie made it. From our first conversation (which Melanie was nice enough to squeeze into a very narrow window) there was a sympatico that lasted through the entire process. She worked with us to create a COMPLETELY personalized ceremony that fit in with our personalities and the entire day. She was immensely helpful with suggesting readings, and she even recommended a guitarist for the ceremony (who was also great to work with and I would recommend in a heartbeat). Her passion for this, and her joy in performing a wedding was obvious during the ceremony, and my family has said how much they enjoyed watching her work. Cannot say enough nice things!"

"Grant, thank you so much making our wedding so perfect and a day we will never forget! Your services, without a doubt will be recommended to friends and family." Gage and Julia
"Melanie provided us with a very loving, thoughtful, personal ceremony. This is a second wedding for both of us and we wanted to make sure that our ceremony wasn't just the two of us getting married, but a joining of our families. Melanie provided us with many options on how our ceremony could look and helped us choose exactly what we were looking for. I would recommend her to everyone I know who is getting married or wanted to renew their vows. She goes the extra mile to make sure your ceremony is special for you. Thank you Melanie for providing us with loving memories of our special day." Cristine and Mark
"...her voice welcomed me, we laughed and got all the details straight. She was with me, she asked the right questions, she listened. Rev Melanie helped to make our evening memorable, she laughed with us, saw and heard who we really are, and she supported us in bringing new level of unity to our family. Thanks Rev Melanie!" Johnny and Caitlin
"We couldn't have been more happy with our wedding ceremony. Melanie helped us along with the entire process and added so much to our day. She took the time to make sure our ceremony was exactly how we wanted it without judgment, but with very helpful suggestions. After meeting her for an instant, you'll want her to perform your ceremony!" Jenny and Justin
"Melanie did an amazing job with our ceremony! She helped us find all the right material that suited our relationship. She always talked with us both about why we love each other and how we met, then put together an amazing ceremony! We couldn't have asked for anything different. We strongly recommend Melanie for your wedding ceremony!!" Adam and Becca
"My husband and I were super excited about planning our wedding and we knew just what we wanted except for one thing, the ceremony. Once we found Melanie we suddenly felt at ease. We did premarital counseling with Melanie and then she worked with us to design a custom ceremony that was perfect for us. I would highly recommend working with Melanie!"
