A Message From John

Founder John H. Melchinger – 1948 – 2015

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear… enough rain to appreciate the sun even more… enough happiness to keep your spirit alive… enough pain so that even the smallest joys in life may appear bigger… enough gain to satisfy your wanting… enough loss to appreciate all you possess… enough hellos to get you through the final goodbye… I wish you enough… no more, no less.

Trading the Rocky Mountains of Western Canada for the Gulf of Mexico, I made Tampa my home with husband John. We discovered early in our relationship that a strong partnership is most important to us. We wed in a gazebo with family and friends in a mountain sunset ceremony. Now it’s a joy to pay it forward.

The Air Force brought me to Tampa in 1973 where I eventually began a 29 year career in Law Enforcement. As a husband, father and grandfather I am all about strong family values and traditions. I have had the pleasure of performing wedding ceremonies for over 25 years for family and friends. I am very pleased to be a part of your most important day.

I am a lifetime resident of beautiful Sarasota and have dedicated my life to service. I was a Deputy for 25 years before retiring to become a Commissioner and then the Mayor. I am thrilled to be at the point in my life where I can work with happy couples of all ages, on the happiest day of their life.

Thank you so much. The ceremony was beautiful. I really appreciate all the hard work you did to make our ceremony fit us. I will recommend you to anyone I know who is getting married. I will send you a picture the moment I get them in. From the bottom of my heart thank you very much. With everything that went wrong with the ceremony (not your fault) you were still able to make it perfect. Thanks.
