Kristine Ann Melvin

Originally I became ordained to officiate & bless a friend's marriage. The experience was one of overwhelming joy. It is an honor to be able to participate so intimately in people's most momentous occasions; bringing love, comfort, and blessings the milestones in their lives.

I hope to be able to provide meaningful and personalized experiences, unique to the individuals and families I serve. Each client's story is special and I believe their service should reflect this. In the role of ordained officiant I hope to share their story in a personal way on a day that celebrates their love for one another, be it in a wedding or memorial service.

It is with great interest and respect that I have studied many religions and cultural traditions. If you are wanting a particular religious custom or element included in your service, I am open to learning more and researching your request in detail, with and for you, to your satisfaction.

As a wedding officiant, what makes my ceremonies special is connection. It is my duty to listen and learn; to discover what not only the connection of this couple to each other is, but also to their community, family & friends- this is how I am able to personalize, customize a ceremony specifically for them. Every detail counts! Every couple is unique and therefore so should be their ceremony.

I provide a wide range of services from marriages to vow renewals, baby blessings to home blessings and spiritual cleansing as well as memorial services; respectfully incorporating traditional cultural and modern elements to your ceremonies as requested.
