Couldn’t have had a more perfect Wedding Officiant

I was lucky enough to know how wonderful of an officiant Nilou is, years before my own wedding. She was my sister’s officiant 6 years ago, and I knew that day that when my time came to tie the knot, I wanted her there. I speak for myself and my husband when I say that Nilou completely captivates you with her poetic words and her genuine warmth.. and I speak for our guests as well when I say that. Our wedding was Iranian/American, and Nilou was able to speak to the hearts of both Farsi and English speakers.

From the moment we reached out to her about being our officiant, we received nothing but warmth and a genuine interest in us and the things that are the most important to us. Just in our first zoom call, she so easily absorbed the things that matter the most to us, and the things that make us who we are both as individuals and a unit. And on the wedding day she brought it all to life with her beautiful and powerful way of speaking, and shared those precious things with everyone that we love.

Nilou’s attention to detail is another thing that blew me and my husband away. From coordinating the rehearsal to asking what color of dresses my bridesmaids were wearing and the colors of the wedding so she can coordinate her outfit (which I’ve learned are always immaculate).

I could go on, but I’ll leave it with this. My husband and I could never have imagined a better officiant for what turned out to be the greatest day of our lives, and Nilou was such an important part of that.

Best decision ever!

We are so happy we found Nilou!! She made our ceremony dreams come true. My husband is Persian and we wanted to incorporate both Persian and traditional ceremony elements. With the guidance and expertise of Nilou our ceremony was even better then we could have imagined.

Nilou met with us virtually three times before our wedding in Mexico. She guided us the whole way on various ceremony elements and how the ceremony would take place. She provided various options and incorporated all the elements of a Persian/traditional wedding. With both Persian and non Persian attendees Nilou translated the wedding in Farsi and English, explained many aspects of the ceremony to our guests and made us feel relaxed, comfortable and excited throughout the ceremony!

We highly recommend Nilou! Our wedding would not have been the same without her! All of our guests told us how wonder she was and how amazing the ceremony was!

Best Officiant

She is the best officiant you can ever find. I give her 7 stars. Nilou has very delightful personality, she brought grace, love and happiness to our special day. she acted as wedding planner and organization of the settings, guests and time table the best way possible. The whole wedding ceremony was much more than we expected, even we already knew the time table and we rehears it with her.
We 100% recommend Nilou for you special day.
