Melissa Craig-Wedding Officiant

Hired Melissa Craig and paid the whole fee upfront.We asked for a very short, less than 5 minute ceremony, and she wrote long vows that would've taken 10-15 minutes to read. The vows were not what we had previously discussed.She called me late at night, around 10 pm, to discuss the ceremony the following day. Too bad the actual wedding date was the next month. This mistake was fixed in time.She showed up 30 minutes late to the ceremony and forgot to bring her cell phone. I called her many times that morning, but since she didn't have her phone, was unable to reach her.She performed the ceremony poorly, luckily I had written my own vows as a backup for her to read. Then she immediately left after the ceremony and did not sign the marriage certificate.She later called me that day asking me to mail the marriage certificate to her. By that time, we had already found another minister to perform the ceremony again and sign the marriage certificate, making our wedding legal.She refused a full or partial refund, even though her participation was pointless since she didn't legalize the marriage.

Updated February 16, 2014Melissa was amazing!!! We were running late getting our wedding started as scheduled on time...we were 2 hours late but she made it happen!! She was so sweet and mingled with our guests as we all were running behind but she made our special day happen. It was a beautiful at home ceremony and couldn't of asked for a better person to marry us! Thanks again Melissa!!!~Mr. & Mrs. Armando Fernandez Jr. November 20, 2013Just spoke to Melissa about performing our wedding ceremony in 2 days and she was so excited to do it, we talked for a good while exchanged our love stories she seems very sweet and gave us some ideas on what to do and how to make things work out better. Our wedding is being planned in 7 days...everything is coming together really nicely! We're looking forward to having her make our day special and memorable!~Teresa & Mando

She is awesome! If I wasn't already married, I would have certainly used her for my ceremony!

I LOVED HER! SHE WAS GREAT! She kept me calm when i felt things were going wrong with my wedding and was very patient with us when we ran late. She took our wedding photos and even picked a great spot on the beach for us to have our ceremony. Highly recommend!
