ABOUT Wedding Ceremonies YOUR Way and Rev. Mel


If you want your Wedding Ceremony, Elopement or Reception special and uniquely emotive and NOT stiff continue reading ! 


From 1997 to date, with at least 600 couples, I have had the honor to officiate or minister weddings and celebrations in Oregon and Washington for local,  international and out of state couples in large churches and small chapels, back yards, local parks, large wedding venues, animal reserves and on a ferry, EVEN center ice during a hockey game, on a beach or simply sitting in my or your home with 2 witnesses.  


I AM THERE FOR YOU as much as you need before your big day (just a few taps away email), your wedding day (always early) and even AFTER (reminders).


Once a wedding with 10,724 "guests" at the hockey game. 

Yes, I am a minister, but I officiate MANY non-religious weddings. About 30% religious, 20% non-religious and 50% a mixture. I  WILL officiate YOUR wedding YOUR way.


Whatever your desire from large to small venues, and ceremonies from complex to simple and sweet ceremonies, secular or religious, cultural, traditional or "out of the box" with over 10,000 "guests" on ice (see video);  and with just family, OR as seen the NATIONAL NBC TV News during the August 21st 2017's TOTAL ECLIPSE in Madres, OR

The minimum attendance is the couple and 2 witnesses. If witnesses are an issue, I have been 100% successful thus far in finding them for a beach wedding on the beach when needed, but NO GUARANTEE; but it is better and less stressful for you to have your 2 witnesses.


Your ceremony is ALWAYS YOUR CHOICE. I will help you through your decisions, if you wish, and I will provide you with sample wedding ceremonies/vows for IDEAS if you don't have your own vows, from which you may cut and paste to make your own. 


There are many minister/officiant testimonials are available on my "REVIEWS" PAGE or go to
TheKnot.com and see my most recent reviews.


I also have a highly recommended Wedding DJ, Coordinator, Bridal Shop, Wedding Photographer in Oregon and Washington on my site under Recommended Pros.


With over 1,000 weddings experience I can draw upon to help you with ideas.


I will  send you my introduction letter/e-Packet of information without obligation; just ask.

As an experienced Master of Ceremonies/ Emcee (MC) services  I also offer those services.
