The Best Wedding Ceremony Officiants in Wayne, NJ

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.

Your special day should reflect who you are, your unique relationship, and include those you love. Our packages include everything from guiding you through the process of obtaining your marriage license, phone, FaceTime and the use of our Wedding Ceremony Workbook, which all of our couples absolutely love! Our goal is to make the creation process of your ceremony stress free and perfect! We begin with a personal consultation to learn your thoughts, dreams and direction for your ceremony. We will get to know each other, which will enable us to place the perfect words on the page that reflect your relationship.

No one wants to sit through a ceremony they've seen a dozen times. That's where we come in. We create ceremonies that are funny, moving, a little unexpected, and completely, unapologetically you — not a template, not a script someone else already used, not boring. We're storytellers. We take everything you share with us — how you met, what makes you laugh, what makes you cry, what drives each other a little crazy — and turn it into something your guests will actually talk about. People have mistaken us for family. That's the goal. Collaborative.

Rainbow Ministries specializes in inclusive and LGBTQ+ weddings. Our mission is to provide a safe space for all walks of life.

My Grandfather was one of the first people in my life to hand me a microphone, and I have found myself holding one ever since. My name is Kaitlin, and I go by The Resonant Officiant.

Our ancestors were deeply rooted in ritual practices, and while those exact rituals may not fit quite the same as they once did, they brought people together as a strengthened unit - a sense of belonging all beings deserve to experience.
