Au-delà des mots Celebrate simply, feel it deeply!

"Au-delà des mots" ("Beyond words in French), it's a story of passion — a love for language, emotion, and the magic of public speaking.

It all began in 2021, when a friend challenged me:
"I need you to host my wedding — you were made for this!"

Challenge accepted… and what a revelation!
Since then, I’ve been using my voice, my words, and my energy to bring your most beautiful life moments to light.

I'm Mélanie — 30 years old, newly married, mom to a little boy, and roommate to an (overly) clingy cat.
A true word lover and story enthusiast, I’ve always enjoyed making an audience feel something — as a public speaking trainer in corporate settings, a storytelling coach for job seekers, and a lecturer in higher education…

Today, I celebrate love, connection, and life’s meaningful transitions with authenticity, kindness, and a joyful spark.

What I offer:

I help create tailor-made secular ceremonies to honor:

• A wedding, civil union (PACS), or vow renewal

• A baby naming, birthday, retirement, or any meaningful milestone

Because life is a celebration, and every occasion deserves care and intention.

My approach: structured, heartfelt, and 100% personalized

• Ceremony design: ambiance, staging, texts, rituals, music, and speeches

• Hosting on the big day: I’m your voice, your guide, your master of ceremonies

• Public speaking coaching: for you & your loved ones (speech writing, stress management, body language…)

• Access to inspiration guides, checklists, and plenty of helpful tools to keep you moving forward with peace of mind

What makes me unique:

• I’m trilingual and lead ceremonies in French, English, and Spanish

• I work with a trusted network of partners who share my high standards

• I celebrate love in all its forms — diversity, inclusion, and respect are at the heart of my mission

• I’ve been in your shoes: as a recent bride, I understand both the magic… and the little wedding-planning jitters!

• I care deeply about eco-conscious celebrations: low-impact rituals, ethical vendors, second-hand decor, dried flowers… And on my end: remote meetings, fully digital documents, and thoughtful travel

So, if you’re looking for an officiant who’s warm, committed, and genuinely human — you’re in the right place.

Let’s talk about your story — I’d love to imagine this ceremony with you.
