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 was Amazing!

My husband and I hired Nanette to be our officiant at our wedding and she was amazing. Nanette is so helpful, very professional, and very well organized. She walked us through the entire process and came up with the perfect ceremony for us! If you need a wedding officiant you should definitely consider hiring Ceremonies by Nanette.

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!!

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.
