Amber Marie Almeida
Ordained Minister in Palm Bay, Florida
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I became an ordained minister so I could help bring couples together in love and unity, while also offering meaningful services to my family, friends, and community. It’s important to me that both life’s most joyful moments — like weddings and baptisms — and its more difficult times, such as funerals, are marked with ceremonies that feel personal, heartfelt, and truly reflective of the people they honor.
One of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had was officiating the wedding of my father and his partner of eleven years. Being able to stand with them on that special day and officially unite them in marriage meant the world to me.
At heart, I’m simply someone who loves love. It brings me incredible joy to be part of those beautiful, life-changing moments. As a stay-at-home mother of two, this calling has become a meaningful and fulfilling way for me to connect with others, celebrate all forms of love, and help create memories that will last a lifetime.
Love is love and everyone's story deserves to be celebrated!
Where are you from?
I am originally from Sebastian FL, i did move away for a little bit to surrounding areas and the state of Wisconsin. i found my way back home to just north of my hometown here in Palm Bay!
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
My goal is to bring people together on one of the most uplifting and memorable days of their lives. I believe that every love story deserves to be celebrated in a way that’s personal, meaningful, and unforgettable. As a stay-at-home mom of two, this gives me the opportunity to do something I’m truly passionate about, while also helping provide for my growing family. More than anything, I hope to spread love, joy, and connection to every couple and family I have the privilege to serve.

I am a Christian, but I come from a large, diverse family with a wide range of beliefs, and I’ve always embraced that beautiful variety.

I have no problem performing and supporting ceremonies from other religious traditions — in fact, I truly enjoy it! It’s a wonderful opportunity to learn, grow, and experience different perspectives. I proudly welcome all faiths and belief systems, because love is universal, and in a free country, you should be able to marry in whatever way feels right for you.
