Awesome Officiant

My wife and I were unsure of what we wanted for our ceremony and if we would have to take any marriage counseling classes. Fortunately, Nick took all that uncertainty and informed us how it would be. We filled out a questionnaire individually so she could get a good idea about us. She then had us meet with her a few times to discuss out ideas for the wedding. We wanted a non religious ceremony and gave nick other idea. And let just say that we gave her a very very broad idea and she turned it into something amazing. She made us feel very comfortable at the alter. She made our quest laugh by telling a funny story about how we got engaged and meet. She really put on a Greta ceremony for us. Nick is someone who I would highly recommend using again if I needed lol. She is very helpful along the way explaining the marriage licensing process as well.

Rev. Nick exceeded our expectation! When looking for an “offiiant” we didn’t just want any person! She is beyond amazing! I have never met anyone who is so kind hearted and loving! She jumped right in with us for the journey of marriage! We did pre-marriage counseling with her too and the amount of laughs and fun we had was indescribable! Our wedding ceremony was beyond perfect and more than we could have asked for! I will recommended her to anyone and everyone! We love you so much Nick! Thank you for making our wedding so very blessed and your amazing friendship!

If I could, I would rate Nick at an infinity plus! She is the best person that I found to officiate my wedding and I love her to pieces! She really personalized our wedding for us and did an exceptional job, even when the wind was going to blow us over on our day! Anything I needed, she was right there to help me out. And very affordable. Thank you Nick!!

Nick truly takes the time to understand what you want your wedding to be. My husband and I did not want a wedding that was over the top church, but instead wanted to include a couple readings and more about who we are together. She was able to make our day very special and I would not change anything. If we were to do it over again I would want Nick to be there too.

Nick was awesome to work with during our entire planning process. She took the time to get to know us personally and used that knowledge to build and personalize the wedding message. My wife and I even had input on the scriptures that were read. She was involved during the entire process and even ensure that she coordinated with our color scheme. Love her!
