Mellisa Alfaro

Proudly serving couples in the Del Norte (Crescent City, Smith River, Gasquet, Klamath) and Humboldt counties (Eureka, Arcata, Hoopa, Garberville, Blue Lake, Trinidad, Fortuna...) in California, as well as Curry County in Oregon (Brookings, Gold Beach, Port Orford). I am passionate about creating heartfelt and meaningful wedding ceremonies that truly reflect you. Your wedding is one of the biggest moments of your life, and I believe your ceremony should be just as unique and special as your love story.

With a person-centered approach, a serving mentality, and a compassionate, friendly presence, I work closely with couples to bring their vision to life. Whether you dream of a traditional, modern, or uniquely personal ceremony, I am here to guide, support, and craft an experience that feels authentic to you. This is your day, and I am honored to help make it everything you’ve envisioned—without stress, pressure, or limitations.

As a Notary Public, I also offer document notarization for marriage licenses and other legal paperwork, including wedding affidavits, prenuptial agreements, and name change documents. This added service ensures your special day is seamless and stress-free. Let’s create a ceremony that is beautiful, personal, and unforgettable— one that truly celebrates your love story.
