Nanette was a godsend - truly gifted ceremony writer!

My fiance and I were in a bind. Nanette saved the day. With just four questions/answers she was able to perfectly capture the spirit of our relationship in her ceremony script. She turned around a personalized script and revisions in under two weeks. One request I had was that we use unique quotes or passages and she hit it out of the ballpark with the two she chose for our ceremony. She has a coaching session scheduled with our "internet" ordained brave friend who is officiating our wedding. Win win! Nanette was a joy to speak with, professional, responsive and provided us with a truly stunning script for our ceremony. Highly highly HIGHLY recommend.

A great day with or without Nannette

We had Nannette prepare our wedding ceremony. She helped us have a general intro about love and then we worked with her on our own personal vows we wanted to say to each other. It was so helpful and insightful to hear her feedback for the vows as well as a clear outline of the ceremony. Funny thing is actually the day before our wedding Nannette called in sick! She was absolutely bed ridden but she was SO professional with handling the last minute change. She had already contacted our wedding coordinator and had her close friend officiant take her place and do the same ceremony for us. We didn't even miss a beat because Nannette was so on top of this potentially stressful situation. It was so helpful to have Nannette through the process. We had a great ceremony because of her planning and professionalism

Nanette is a blessing

Working with Ceremonies by Nanette enhanced our wedding experience greatly. Communication was smooth, and Nanette was even willing to meet with us a couple weeks before the big day. At that meeting it felt like chatting with close friend and we felt that same connection when Nanette beautifully performed our ceremony weeks later. Ceremonies by Nanette provided the lovingly thought out structure that we needed for our intimate, 60 guest ceremony. No microphone, no overproduction, just love! Definitely book Ceremonies by Nanette for your nuptials!

Highly Recommend Working with Nanette!

My husband and I decided to elope earlier this year and reached out to Nanette to officiate and for pre-marital counseling. We had such a great experience with Nanette, who made our ceremony so beautiful and personal. She really got to know us in pre-marital counseling and gave us great perspective and guidance for starting our marriage together. She's so warm and personable and made our elopement ceremony unforgettable! Highly recommend!!

Caring and Professional

Working with Nanette was a breeze. From the first phone call to the day of the ceremony everything was seamless. She was well organized and communicated all information in a timely manner. She was available to answer questions or offer suggestions. We were coming from out of state and her professionalism and caring personality put us at ease. The ceremony that she prepared was sweet and meaningful. Nanette really helped make our day special!

Heartfelt ceremony by Nanette

It was so wonderful having Nanette as our wedding officiant. I initially reached out to her for our November 2020 wedding but postponed till November 2021 and throughout the year, Nanette was so sweet and would check in with us to see how we were doing. It was important to us that we had a relationship with our officiant who could share our unique love story and Nanette did such a wonderful job! She created a heartfelt wedding ceremony that made it feel like she's known us for years! So many of our guests said that they loved our officiant and the ceremony was the perfect length of time- not too short and not too long. Thank you Nanette for being a wonderful person and officiating our wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Nanette is the perfect addition to a wedding ceremony! Her infectious smile, and wonderful attitude, are sure to provide brides and grooms with the ceremony of their dreams. Not only that, but more importantly, you'll love to hear her speak. I love it when it is obvious that the officiant really cares about the bride and groom.
