About MEL

MEL IS A queer, non-binary, ADHD, half-Colombian Human

Mel (they/them) is a queer, non-binary, neurospicy, half-Colombian, bilingual, non-denominational officiant/celebrant. Mel likes to use their screenwriting, storytelling, and stand-up comedy abilities to craft a beautiful, hilarious, and poignant ceremony that will leave people laughing and crying.  Mel is often told that their ceremonies stand out to people, from the rainbow string ritual Mel likes to incorporate, to being able to perform ceremonies in English and in Spanish.  Mel believes that all belief systems and ways of life are valid, and they bring a warm and inclusive approach to their officiating.  Mel particularly enjoys performing ceremonies for the LGBTQIA2S+ community and believes that Love is Love is Love is Love is LOVE.

Mel wants to bring that sparkle to your special day by bringing humor, insightfulness, and sentiment by composing your own very personal wedding narrative. We can use stories about the two of you, and sprinkle in references to movies, shows, and music you cherish, and recall places you’ve been together—both physically and emotionally—and more, to paint the picture of the love you share for each other to your beloved guests.
