    Delgado Wedding

    Reverend Nick thought of absolutely everything and was incredibly helpful and professional. I cannot recommend or his spouse enough to complete your ceremony. He made the day special and so much easier on I and my spouse. Thank you so much Reverend!

    Excellent Officiant!

    Reverend Nick was amazing! Funny, welcoming, engaging with our ceremony crowd and wedding party. I couldn't have asked for a better officiant. He was on time, very prepared, what he said and would say during the ceremony was planned out and approved prior. If you are considering Nick McDonald for your wedding, you will not be disappointed!

    Rev. Nick McDonald's reply:

    Hi, Colleen and Blake:
    Creating your ceremony with you was so much fun because you al brought so many great ideas to the table, knew what you wanted, and chose a beautiful venue that was new to me. Thanks, so much, for your review and for a lovely afternoon in Ellenboro! I thought it warm that afternoon in April, but I'm really glad we didn't celebrate in July! Enjoy married life together with your cutie-pies Riley and Chloe! Warmly, Nick

    The Perfect Custom Ceremony

    We hired Rev. Nick for our post-wedding celebration/vow renewal in Sept 2022 (we got married in June 2020.) When we first emailed him, we were clear that we had a lot going on: we were already married and didn't want to put on a "show" wedding, more of a vow renewal; our families are different faiths, with my dad being a minister and having some strong opinions on officiants; we had a baby now who we wanted to incorporate; and we wanted it to both carry weight, and be lighthearted. He didn't miss a beat. He put us at ease right away, and helped us craft the perfect ceremony for where we are in our lives, and where we want to go. My dad still raves about him (very high praise, I promise you!) I'm so grateful we found Rev. Nick as he ended up playing a huge part in the shaping of our day.

    Best Officiant Ever!

    We are so happy we had Reverend Nick as our officiant for our wedding at the Biltmore Estate Conservatory. He was so easy to work with and helped us through the process. He answered all the questions we had so our ceremony was exactly the way we wanted it. He was also very nice and friendly which eased my nerves and made me feel comfortable during the wedding ceremony. Everyone enjoyed meeting him and we couldn’t have been happier having him!

    Great Wedding Officiant

    We booked Nick for our wedding in Hiddenite, NC this past month and we were so impressed. Nick was great at communicating and answering our many questions. Our ceremony was everything that we wanted it to be and Nick was very accommodating to any changes that we wanted. Would recommend to anyone looking for a charismatic and professional officiant for their wedding!

    Choose Rev. Nick!

    Rev. Nick was a great choice for our small, family wedding during COVID. He was extremely flexible in adjusting the ceremony to our needs and was very respectful of other guests. We were very impressed with his responsiveness to a lot of specific requests in our ceremony. Also, he has a great voice! Would certainly recommend him to anyone.

    Awesome Gentleman!

    Rev. Nick took care of all of our needs with the utmost professionalism and personal touch. We were taken care of in every way imaginable, from the beginning of the process to the ceremony itself. I highly recommend this gentleman to perform your wedding. You will not be disappointed!

    Rev. Nick McDonald's reply:

    Hey, Steveland: MANY. many thanks for your dual reviews on both platforms! Your ceremony was a great way to start 2022 and your photographer has given me carte blanche with your album of photos, so, with your blessing, we'll pull one for my web page! Blessings in 2022! Nick+

    Hire this officiant!

    Reverand Nick was absolutely amazing! He is well-spoken, personable, flexible, friendly, and made us feel so comfortable. He really kicked off our wedding on the right foot! I am so grateful for him and happy I chose him as our officiant. We could have not chosen anyone better.

    Wonderful experience

    Rev. Nick did an amazing job on our ceremony. My guests loved him and he made us feel at ease writing and saying our own vows. He is very personable, reliable and easy to work with. He will walk you through the whole process so you know what to expect! Would highly recommend!

    Rev. Nick is hands down the best!

    Because of COVID, we were looking to have a small inmate wedding with just friends and family. When looking for someone to officiate, we were hoping for someone who was professional and also very personable and made us feel like we had known them for ages. Rev. Nick was all of these things and more. He truly made our small wedding so special. If you are looking for an officiant in Western Carolina, please look no further! Rev. Nick is hands down the best!

    Helpful and Easy to Work With!

    Nick was the best officiant we could have asked for! We are a Houston based couple who got married in Asheville, NC. Nick helped us with the planning over Zoom and was easily available via e-mail for additional changed that we wanted to make, He was flexible on our wedding day and wrote a beautiful sermon for our wedding. We would recommend Nick to anyone to officiate their wedding!

    Spectacular Officient!

    Nick was amazing to work with!! He was quick to respond to e-mails, and more than willing to work with us on the ceremony. He provided pages of inspiration and quotes for us when we indicated we needed help. On paper, the ceremony that we came up with was beautiful, but what he added was the warmth, heart-felt goodwill, and spirit that it needed on the day. Many happy tears! My husband and I didn't have to do anything or corrale anyone after the ceremony because he took care of the license, then let us know when all was done. We have a recording of the ceremony, and many of our relatives have requested copies! I HIGHLY recommend Nick! There is no question in my mind that he will be the perfect fit for any couple, no matter your persuation!

    Nick was wonderful to work with!

    From day one Nick was amazing to work with! He created the ceremony we wanted to a tee. We really wanted to involve our family and make the ceremony special. He was very responsive and easy to work with. He helped us to incorporate my father-in-law into the ceremony. Which meant the world to us. After the ceremony he took care of the marriage license for us and mailed it in while we were on our honeymoon. I’m really glad we chose Nick!

    A perfect experience!

    We cannot say enough positive things about Rev Nick! He was so thoughtful with our requests and making sure we meshed both of our religious preferences. He is extremely nice and personable! We had an amazing experience.

    Amazing Officiant

    We loved Rev Nick! He was super easy to communicate with and was very quick to respond to messages. He personalized a beautiful ceremony to our exact needs. He was professional but easy going as well. We could not have asked for anything better!

    More than an officiant... a true blessing himself!

    Rev. Nick was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, kind, professional, and responsive for our wedding this past weekend. We couldn't have asked for a more meaningful service thanks to his special touches. A five-star review does not do him justice. Can we write a ten-star review for Rev. Nick?

    The best choice in Asheville!

    Rev Nick was the best choice for my weeding. He is so sweet, attentive and friendly, made us feel super comfortable that day. And the ceremony was amazing, he previously coordinate with us all the details that we wanted for the ceremony. I would recommend him 100%, he would make your perfect ceremony as he did with us. Thank you!

    Easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable!

    Rev. Nick was so kind throughout the whole process. We booked him later in the planning process, and he was always so quick to respond to my questions in order to put together our perfect, personalized ceremony. We met Nick at the rehearsal for the first time and it felt like we had known him forever! Easy to talk to, very helpful, and super friendly. This was amazing to ease my nerves the day of the wedding, too.

    I would 100% recommend Rev. Nick to officiate your ceremony!

    Warm, patient, flexible & humorous...

    We couldn’t have have dreamt of an officiant more perfect for our wedding than Reverend Nick. My husband and I have differing religious/spiritual beliefs, but share a deep love for nature, family, friends, and our pets. Reverend Nick so carefully and patiently worked with us to create a ceremony and vows that were meaningful to each of us and to our families. In mid-November 2020, we were blessed with a beautiful, sunny, warm(ish), yet windy day. Reverend Nick married us on a grassy hilltop in Banner Elk, NC surrounded by breathtaking mountain views — a last-minute change from our our originally planned indoor location — which he took in stride! And speaking of taking things in stride... our very energetic 80# Chesapeake Bay Retriever ‘puppy’ was part of the wedding party. Reverend Nick handled him and all his bounding & blunders like a pro. Reverend Nick is warm, patient, flexible, humorous, and reliable. We highly recommend him if you’re seeking the same!

    Provided great Elopement Ceremony!

    Rev Nick was awesome! He literally hiked up a mountain for us and gave us a beautiful ceremony. The communication before hand was also very good, and allowed us to tailor the experience to be just what we wanted. He was also very familiar with the location we got married (Max Patch) and gave us some great guidance/ suggestions. Thanks for a great job!

    Fantastic elopement experience!

    We worked with Nick through Elope Outdoors. He was so wonderful, both before our wedding as we worked with him to craft our perfect ceremony, and on the day of (when he showed up at the literal crack of dawn for our sunrise ceremony!). He was such a warm and calm presence and made our ceremony so special.

    Great Officiant

    Very professional and nice. He came to the rehearsal and sent a draft of the ceremony ahead of time to which I was able to request changes that he happily made. Super friendly and nice man. I am glad he was our officiant.

    Wonderful!

    We felt so comfortable and at ease with Nick! He set aside time to chat with us a few days before the ceremony... to go over everything we should expect. We opted to keep it short and sweet but he was willing to make it as involved and special as we wanted it. I can’t say enough great things about Nick! I feel like we have known him for years.
