Hi, I’m Cathy Melando—Congrats on your engagement! I’m a registered officiant in NJ and licensed in NY. I create personalized, meaningful ceremonies that reflect each couple’s unique love story. I also write custom scripts for first-time officiants. Whether you're planning a small gathering or a big celebration, I offer traditional or modern ceremonies for all couples. Since 2010, it’s been an honor to celebrate love in all forms: straight, gay, and lesbian. Let’s make your ceremony as unique and unforgettable as you are!

When my husband and I spontaneously decided to get married this Halloween, we could not have predicted how beautiful it would be- and we have Cathy to thank. With her exceptional creativity, she was able to write a customized, Halloween themed ceremony that made both of us cry. Cathy is highly skilled, competent, friendly, communicative, and above all else, she will go above and beyond to make sure your ceremony is PERFECT. You can not go wrong if you chose her for your special day, for anything from completely traditional, or, if you’re like us, completely non-traditional and unique. Thank you, Cathy, for making our special day one we will remember fondly for the rest of our lives!

NJ Vows Now

No one wants to see a wedding ceremony they’ve seen a dozen times! We blend words, experiences, and emotions into a beautifully crafted ceremony expressing you perfectly. It will be funny. It will be moving. Close to perfect; far from boring! It will be a little unexpected and perhaps a little traditional, but it will be totally you.

When I started wedding planning, searching for an officiant was one of the top most daunting tasks purely because I didn't have any idea where to start. Our parents had gotten married in a church or temple and a lot of other non-denominational weddings we had been to had a friend or family member officiate - not something we were super keen on doing ourselves since we met in a speech and debate club in high school and wanted someone similarly comfortable with public speaking from go. I found Celia Milton via The Knot and I'm so glad I did. She was immediately very responsive to our inquiry and when we had our initial call with her over the phone we knew she would bring the right tone and energy to our ceremony. Celia has years of experience under her belt and it really shows in the ceremony she helped pull together. We had so many guests come up to us after the ceremony to rave about how it was one of the best ceremonies they had been to because it was able to strike so many different tones - funny and lighthearted, emotional and contemplative - in just thirty minutes. On top of that, Celia helped make the script personal to us and our journey together as a couple, which included a traditional handfasting and having our grandparents do guest readings. All in all, the ceremony she gave flowed so well and struck all the beats we wanted it to, which I think made it especially special for both us and our guests. I also want to mention it was so helpful having Celia in our corner given her many years of experience. She just knows weddings and knows a lot of wedding people! She pointed us in the direction of our cinematographer for example and otherwise gave a ton of great advice on other aspects of wedding planning personally over email and via her New Jersey Weddings Podcast which I listened to. That sort of experience really put me at ease that I had somebody to lean back on during wedding planning who has seen it all. Tl;dr - Our wedding ceremony was perfect and it was perfect especially because Celia Milton was our officiant. I cannot recommend her enough for the amount of amazing energy she brought to the planning process and the fact that the final product was just amazing down to the little touches. Thank you Celia!

Lydia performed my son's wedding. Words cannot express how absolutely beautiful the ceremony was. I know from my son how diligently Reverend Lydia worked with my son and daughter-in-law to achieve the perfect ceremony. Her attention to details and willingness to go above and beyond insured that the ceremony was everything we hoped for and more. It was so very personalized, heartfelt and meaningful. Her ability to capture the essence of my son and daughter-in-law's love story and incorporate it into the ceremony was truly remarkable. Our guests were touched by her words and all commented on how special the ceremony was.

We recently got married in Central Park’s Cop Cot and Alex was our officiant. He was outstanding! He crafted a beautiful message that was heartfelt, poignant and humorous in all the right places. And his delivery? Oh, my goodness! It was pitch-perfect! He barely glanced at his notes but rather spoke to us and to the crowd. It was like we were old friends or longtime congregants and he a pastor/priest at a church. However, we were not surprised. We could see being friends with Alex under ordinary circumstances. Both my husband and I were touched by his words, and several guests remarked on how wonderful he was. Thank you, Alex, for making our wedding day so special!

I believe that a wedding ceremony should be more than just words. It should feel like home. A moment so personal and full of love that it stays with you forever.

I’ll be there to steady your nerves, share a laugh, and remind you to soak it all in. Because your love story is one-of-a-kind, and your ceremony should be too.

We had a small wedding with our children and close family. My wife’s favorite city is NYC. Jackie was incredibly helpful with recommendations for flowers, makeup and places to eat. We wrote our own vows and Jackie wrote a perfect ceremony incorporating a poem my wife sent me early in our relationship. It was a beautiful day made even more special by Jackie and Sascha. We feel so lucky to have found the Reinkings.

I love giving my couples an experience they will treasure forever. Your ceremony should fill you with happy memories when you think back on how you began your journey together as one. My ceremonies celebrate love, marriage, partnership, and connection. I have been ordained since 2014 and I am licensed to solemnize marriages in NJ, PA, NY, DE, and MD. I am happy to marry ANY loving, consenting couple who wishes to tie the knot in style. My delivery is engaging and energetic, with a professionally trained voice from decades of singing opera, voiceover work, and public oration, enabling me to deliver a beautiful, unforgettable ceremony.

Michael did a perfect job officiating our wedding. The entire process was so easy. From our initial calls, to working on the script he put together, to helping my now wife with her vows on the wedding day - Michael was so helpful and easy to work with every step of the way. We had an idea of what we wanted in a ceremony, and Michael took our loose ideas and absolutely nailed it. The ceremony he put together for us was absolutely perfect. It felt like he had known us our entire lives. We had several guests ask where we found such a great officiant and comment on what a great job he did. We weren't putting a huge emphasis on our ceremony, as we had always wanted a ceremony on the shorter side, but it ended up being one of the highlights of the day. We'll treasure those moments for the rest of our lives, and Michael is to thank for that. We're absolutely thrilled with Michael & our ceremony and we would recommend him to anyone without a doubt!!
