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!

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.

Jackie Reinking New York Elopement Officiant 

5.0

  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $595
  • Serves Cranford, NJ

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. That’s what I create for every couple I marry. I’m not just an officiant - I’m your friend, your guide, and your biggest cheerleader. 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.

Researching our honeymoon destination, we stumbled across photos on the web taken by Jackie’s husband, Sascha, which led us to Jackie. So inspired were we by TeamReinking, we decided to put our complete trust in them and elope from Australia to NYC. We had literally just booked our wedding in Australia. Jackie was so easy to work with and we connected with her via emails and then the moment we met in person (literally just before our ceremony). Jackie helped us create the most beautiful ceremony in April 2023 at the Ladies Pavilion in Central Park, NYC. A special moment in time filled with shared promises, love, laughter and quite a few tears. It was an emotional day for us that had been 12 years in the making. Jackie is simply a delight and it was easy for us to just be ourselves in that moment. My husband is still talking about our beautiful ceremony with Jackie by our side. I think he’s your number 1 fan, Jackie!!! Our photos (taken by Sascha) are beyond stunning and the memories of our day and ceremony we will cherish forever. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Tick this one off your list, celebrant and photographer sorted!! I’d give a 6 star rating if I could!! Ps I think my husband is already planning for us to renew our vows in the future with TeamReinking!!

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!!

She gave our guests a beautiful explanation of our love for each other, and included a “couple therapy-esque” meeting to get to know us before the wedding, and ended in me having happy tears expressing my love towards my husband during such a stressful time. She gets a 10 out of 10 from us! Make sure you book her for your upcoming wedding!
