A Little Bit About me ….

“So this is love; so this is what makes life divine” -Cinderella

You found love and you’re ready to take the next step, how exciting!? I would be honoured to help you create the most divine experience. I have a high-level sense of detail and would love to bring that into your special day. 


My Personal Story ….

I was born in Etobicoke, Ontario, and grew up on a farm located in the small town of Dundalk, Ontario. However I have lived in St. Catharines, Longlac, Guelph, and now reside in Ottawa. 

My Family ….

I have been happily married for over 12 years to my soul mate, Bryan. We have one son together, Levi and one fur baby, Diesel.

My Life Experience ….

I’ve spent my whole career in the air transportation industry and have a big love for aviation. I’ve also dabbled in graphic design, teaching, and blogging. I am passionate about helping people in any capacity I can. I am often found volunteering at my local church and in my community. 

My Interests & Passions ….

I love spending time with my family and my dog.
I have a slight passion/obsession… with all things Rae Dunn & Disney. Which you will notice if you check out my Instagram page!
I also always seem to have my hands in a crafty DIY or a big DIY like redoing my kitchen or something crazy like that.
I love to travel and can’t wait to get back on a jet to a beach!

Why Choose Enduring Promises?


What couples are saying

My wife and I are so glad to have Melissa as our officiant. She’s experienced and easy to work with. She knows how to spice up the ceremony and make us feel less nervous. The entire ceremony was smooth and we received so many compliments from our guests. It couldn’t have been better! Highly recommend their service!

Melissa was super helpful and kind. She kept in contact with us after the first meeting just to remind us of deadlines and options with the ceremony. The templates are super easy to use and really helpful. It allows you to personalize and set the tone you want for your ceremony and your guests. Our officiant Melissa Welch-Pare was amazing, I would recommend her to anyone. She is super personable, kind and professional.
