We loved Nick!

My older sister used Nick for her wedding and we loved him so much we decided to use him for ours too! He is very personable and funny, we felt so comfortable with him. Our family and friends thought he was a close personal friend because of how he treated us. I couldn't recommend Nick more for a wedding officiant!

So glad we found Nick!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Nick (Modern Ministries) as our officiant for our March 2024 wedding! Nick was so funny and personable, and very flexible when it came to our ceremony requests. He was also great at communicating with us leading up to our wedding date, and was on time for our early morning rehearsal and our afternoon ceremony. Our family and friends absolutely adored him. We would highly recommend using Modern Ministries for your officiating needs!

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.

Love Nick!

Nick was so amazing, he is so funny and personable. I had family and friends who came up to us at the wedding asking us if he was a family friend because of how easy he was to talk to. Nick always answered my emails right away whenever I had a question and he made the whole process very easy. My sister loved him so much he will be officiating her wedding in May! Highly recommend Nick!

Goofy and Phenomenal

If you find yourself asking who you want to marry you and you're on this page. Stop looking right now. Nick is your answer.
He is professional, kind, positive, and silly. If you want someone that will take your ceremony above and beyond, he will do it for you. There are not enough incredible words for Nick. This incredible man did our ceremony exactly how we wanted. He fed off of our energy and the ceremony was better than perfect. He gave us plenty of options to choose how our tiny elopement would go and told us to adjust it to our liking. We got it to him and he did everything perfectly.

We had a lot of laughs and so much love was shared. I will forever be grateful that he is who we chose to marry us.

There's no one better!

Nick was AMAZING from the moment we spoke with him. We found him sort of last minute in our search, but working with him was the easiest part of our wedding planning. He personalized our ceremony script with fun quirk, which we loved. It was almost as if he knew us beforehand and fit right in. He's also very kind and you can tell he loves what he does. I couldn't recommend him more!

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.
