About
I’m a bilingual ordained pastor/minister and wedding officiant, dedicated to creating meaningful, heartfelt ceremonies for weddings (rehearsals) and quinceañeras. I have been a pastor a/o chaplain since 1999 and have been happily married since 1994. I offer professional, respectful, and caring service, whether you prefer something simple and intimate or more detailed and traditional. Every ceremony is prepared with attention to detail and delivered with calm, confident presence. If you’re looking for a warm, reliable and experienced minister who will honor your day, language and your culture, I’d be happy to talk about your ceremony plans.

Melvin was absolutely amazing and made our elopement so much more special than we ever expected. He was super nice, patient, and really worked with us to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. We especially loved that he spoke both English and Spanish, and having our ceremony in Spanish made it feel even more personal and meaningful to us. He made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable, even with everything being so last minute. We are so grateful we found Melvin and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant. He gave us exactly what we hoped for and more 🩷

Details: Elopement • Non-religious (no mention of God) • 20 guests or fewer • Help writing vows will not be needed • Spanish • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal

We had such a great experience! He was on time and he was so sweet. The ceremony was extremely well done and the value of the ceremony was unbeatable! We had a very last minute wedding and he accommodated us beautifully and you would never know it by how well the ceremony fit us. He asked us a few quick questions and it’s like he just knew the right ceremony for us! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautifully done ceremony.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ There simply aren’t enough words to express how wonderful Melvin was!

From the very beginning, Melvin was warm, caring, welcoming, and accommodating. Our booking was somewhat last-minute, but he went above and beyond to make everything work for us. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to be part of such an important day in our lives.

As Christians, both of us felt an instant connection with Melvin. There was something so genuine and familiar about him, and we immediately knew we were meeting someone who was also part of the family of God. Looking back, we truly believe it was no coincidence that our paths crossed. It was God’s divine providence.

Our vows were absolutely perfect. Melvin took his time and made our ceremony feel meaningful and heartfelt. It wasn’t rushed or over before we even had a chance to take it all in. Even though our elopement was short and sweet, he made sure it was timeless, memorable, and incredibly special.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Melvin or the entire experience. He made us feel comfortable, loved, and genuinely cared for during a moment we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

Thank you, Melvin, for everything you did for us. Thank you for accommodating us, for your kindness, for the beautiful words you shared, and most importantly, for making our little elopement feel like such a big and beautiful moment.

We will forever be grateful that God allowed our paths to cross and, in His perfect timing and divine providence, placed you there to be the one to marry us.

If you are looking for an officiant who truly cares, has a heart for people, and will make your wedding ceremony meaningful and memorable, we wholeheartedly recommend Melvin.

God bless you, Melvin! You will always hold a special place in our hearts. ❤️
