Personalized, authentic, and funny!

Nick officiated our wedding at the LAST minute, and could not have been MORE responsive. Such a thoughtful man, and made our small ceremony very memorable. Oh yeah, and he's really funny and fun to be around. Can't recommend him highly enough.

From the first time I worked with Nick I knew I was working with someone who had a rare and wonderful combination of talent and professionalism. Nick has a warmth in his heart that shines in all he does. When you talk to him, and bring him into your plans and ideas, you can feel that you are getting the same terrific warmth he brings to his own life and family. Nick is an incredible speaker. He can make the words of a ceremony dance and sing. I knew from the first time I saw him work that I would be eager and happy to recommend Nick to anybody who wants a ceremony filled with joy. He is the perfect choice for a couple keen to know they are putting their big day in the hands of a true professional they can trust. Nick is experienced and diligent, and a heck of a lot of FUN! A terrific choice for your day.
