Melody Schudel
Ordained Minister in Westminster, Maryland
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I became an ordained minister in 2010 on a bit of a whim—but what started as a spontaneous decision turned into something genuinely meaningful. I’ve always loved celebrating connection, whether that meant officiating a ceremony for beloved pets or now helping couples mark one of the biggest moments of their lives.

What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
My hope is to create meaningful, personal ceremonies that truly reflect each individual and couple. I want people to feel seen, celebrated, and connected—not just to each other, but to the moment they’re stepping into. My other hope is to bring warmth, intention, and authenticity to every ceremony I officiate. I want to create moments that people can feel—ones that reflect who they are, what they value, and the love they share.
