About
On WeddingWire since 2021
I love weddings, and I love giving my couples a wedding experience they will treasure for the rest of their lives. Your wedding should be as wonderful and unique as you are. It should celebrate your love with cherished family and friends, and fill you with happy memories when you think back on how you began your journey together as one. Each of you bring something special to your union, and as your paths unite and you take those first steps as a married couple, the ceremony you just had should fill you with joy. The ceremonies I write celebrate love, marriage, partnership, and connection.
I am currently licensed to perform marriage ceremonies in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland. I am also very happy to marry any loving couple who wants to tie the knot.
You've probably been to at least one wedding where the minister was mumbling, boring, and/or utterly milquetoast. That's not me. I'm engaging and energetic, light-hearted and elegant, and my voice is somehow both powerful and soothing at the same time. Decades of singing opera, narrating audiobooks, and being a public orator has given me the perfect combination of presence and voice to deliver an unforgettable wedding ceremony. I would love to share those gifts with you on your wedding day.
If you want a charismatic, outgoing, engaging minister to perform your ceremony or elopement, I would love to have the honor of giving you a ceremony you'll treasure forever!

Best part of our wedding
I also want to note that he was so good that when my mother passed from Alzheimer’s a few months after my wedding I had emailed Michael because my family loved him at my ceremony as much as we did and we thought he would be the perfect person to do a eulogy at my moms funeral, he himself was going to be out of town for a funeral the same week (I hope he doesn’t mind me saying this) but that was the only reason he couldn’t make it to do it but he called me which was so sweet, he owed me nothing and he did not have to do this but he said that if we had my moms funeral when he got back he would do the eulogy even though that’s not something he’s done before, he truly cares! He was so sweet on the phone with me, when I spoke to him on the phone we didn’t have the date of my moms funeral planned and we did end up scheduling while he was away but he followed up with me, he shared his condolences and at one of the roughest and best times of my life - my moms passing and my marriage he was there for me. I will never forget Michael and I encourage you to choose him, you will not regret it
He did an outstanding job! Made our day perfect!
Sincerely,
Cathy ( Mrs Melvin )

Team
I have been ordained since 2014, and became a professional officiant after spending more than a decade as a full time wedding photographer. Throughout my wedding career I have always been captivated by the power of the marriage ceremony to connect the couple, their families, and their guests. I have always been drawn to that beautiful moment when each loving couple publicly affirms their ardent desires to share their lives together, and I absolutely love working with every couple to create a ceremony that perfectly expresses their unique love story and personalities.
My commitment to excellent customer service earned me ten consecutive “Best of Weddings” awards from The Knot and seven “Couple’s Choice” awards from Wedding Wire. I strive to ensure my couples enjoy a ceremony they will remember forever, and I am honored to conduct ceremonies for any and all loving couples who wish to get married.
I am a retired opera singer, and I now spend my free time composing new classical music, musicals, and operas. My voice has been used for a variety of film and audiobook projects over the years, and it was even utilized in the composer’s demo for the 2013 Disney feature film Frozen. I spent decades singing professionally with some of the most prestigious opera companies and orchestras in the U.S. and Europe.
I reside in Medford, NJ with my wonderful and amazing wife Suzanne. I also direct and sing in The Village Carolers, a professional caroling group serving the mid-Atlantic U.S.
