"I Am My Beloved & My Beloved Am I"
Marriage is a special time, as two people proclaim their love and commit to a union in the deepest, most ultimate way. Rabbi Melinda’s compassionate and unique nature naturally relaxes her clients and helps them create a joyous and graceful ceremony, jewish or otherwise. The commitment of marriage and partnership brings out the best in people. Having someone to walk with you through building a family, creating good health and walking proud in the world brings the world into a better place.   

Whether in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, somewhere in between on the beaches of Southeastern Florida, or elsewhere in the universe, Melinda will not disappoint.   She's also devoted to being spontaneous and flexibly fun.  If interested, click here to watch an endearingly created ceremony and/or look at the video below.  I also have more videos to share.

Melinda supports marriage equality and honors all religious, spiritual and secular backgrounds. Creating and performing wedding ceremonies is Melinda’s greatest joy. A wedding ceremony is a sacred and memorable event, filled with blessings to which Melinda is honored to bear witness to.  Melinda also offers couples a FREE Premarital Roadmap course and a FREE Roadmap to Everlasting Love after the ceremony so couples can navigate change well and avoid whatever roadblocks come up. 

Although Melinda was ordained in 2009, she began officiating shortly after her father passed in 2016. Within five years, Melinda performed over 280 ceremonies. It has been a whirlwind of blessings, says Melinda and she humbly honors that it all began the minute Melinda said yes to this divinely inspired body of service. Because Melinda was married for more than 20 years, she knows the importance of communication and the value that faith offers a couple. Her marriage ended fell apart on May 5, 2005 and to help others heal, she published a book Seven Steps to a Peaceful Heart After Divorce. 
A pleasure to work with
There are absolutely no words to describe how grateful I am to Melinda for such a beautiful ceremony. She asked all the right questions to get to know us and integrated what she learned to make our day feel natural and unique to us. The vibe was perfect. She was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her.
