Nick officiated our wedding this summer and it was better than we had hoped for! He called us several times to get to know us and prepare a personalized ceremony that celebrated our love. Super friendly and easy to work with.

Nick was great, all the way around. He asked great questions during our initial call, provided a script of what he planned to say, incorporated relevant details in his words, and was open to making changes. The day of, he was punctual, well dressed, articulate, and on-point. Just an awesome addition to our big day, and we can't recommend him enough. Thank you again for everything Nick! ❤️

I honestly cannot have found a better person to officiate our wedding in Nicholas. Professional yet extremely personable, true to his word, and we could tell that he honestly cared...
about officiating and marrying us. I think what sets him apart is the fact that he took the time to get to know us as a couple. Learn their backstory incorporate it into a visualized written service that was perfect! I honestly felt like I was working with a friend that was in it in our corner wanting a day to be just as great as it could be virtually meeting a stranger, a short time before such an important event like our wedding, I was grateful for his presence and his support with his ability to roll and adapt smoothly and gracefully with humor and tact. Nick, I honestly could not have picked a better person to officiate my wedding and very glad to have met you and worked with you,

nd when the power unexpectedly went out, he immediately jumped in to help without hesitation;even though we never asked. That meant so much to us and truly showed his character. During our planning call, he took the time to get to know us personally. He was friendly, thoughtful, and genuinely cared about our story. The ceremony script he created felt like he had known us our entire relationship. He beautifully incorporated our backgrounds, personalities, and even our religious standpoints in a way that was so natural and meaningful. He made the entire process fun, easy, and stress-free, and our ceremony ended up being everything we hoped for and more. We are so grateful for him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant who truly cares about making your day special.
