WHAT COUPLES ARE SAYING
Melissa is truly the best!
“We hired Melissa kind of last minute in our wedding planning, and we literally could not have asked for a better officiant. She took lots of time and put lots of care into crafting a beautiful ceremony for us, and was even able to help us secure a wedding license when the state of Oregon at the last minute changed the rules on how to obtain one! Our ceremony was beautiful, and we had so many people say it was the best ceremony they had ever seen. If I could give Melissa more than 5 stars I would. Highly, highly, highly recommend!!!!”
Expectations beyond met with Melissa
“Melissa Coe is THE best officiant there is. She really set the tone for the whole wedding. Such a wonderful ceremony. Everyone there commented on how it was the best ceremony they had ever heard.”
Truly Unique
“Melissa took a serious amount of time and dedication into getting to know me and my now husband to help us create a truly special and unique ceremony and our vows. I would highly recommend her.”
WHAT OTHER WEDDING PROFESSIONALS ARE SAYING
“In all my years working weddings I have never met a person more genuine and sincere than Melissa. When I first met her I immediately knew she was someone special, and hearing her Officiate an elopement a year ago I was completely in love with her ability to communicate so softly and profoundly. Several weddings later working with Melissa I realized that though each couple included different elements to their ceremony, I felt the SAME amount of love, respect and admiration from her towards the couple. She truly talks with humility to be a part of an event, when honestly it is an honor to hear HER speak. Melissa Coe is a treasure of Portland, and really a treasure of the Northwest. Her legacy of sharing love will be everlasting.”
“Melissa is amazing, I recommend her a million times over! She is endearing, funny, personal and radiates a calm energy. Most couples will feel like she is an old family friend by the way she captures your love so beautifully. Melissa will help you every step of the way and provide all the support you need to create a beautiful ceremony that you will always cherish! She is the co-founder of Wedding Professionals United for Marriage; Marry the one you Love.”
“Melissa is not only professional she is personal. She makes sure each couple’s story is told during the ceremony making every guest feel a part of the ceremony and celebration. I highly recommend Melissa Coe!”
