About this vendor
I became a Humanist Celebrant in 1998 after two years of formal study. A Humanist Celebrant is an Officiant with dedicated training in ceremony, ethics, and creating inclusive, meaningful experiences. Combined with nearly 30 years of experience and almost 1,000 weddings and ceremonies, I bring a depth of knowledge and care to every wedding I officiate.
I bring a lot more than just words and a signature. I take the time to understand your story and marriage vision, create ceremony wording that feels uniquely yours, support you and your guests, help coordinate the bridal party and important vendors, and assist with the flow and timing of your ceremony and wedding day.
The ceremony is the part of the wedding where you actually get married. ❤️ It deserves a little more than just getting the paperwork signed.
For couples who want an even more elevated experience, I also offer thoughtful wedding enhancements, including bridal beauty, wedding coordination, and other personalized touches that allow me to care for more of your experience from beginning to end.

ime. She provided me with lots of lovely verbiage, poems and lyrics that I was able to pick and choose from to write our own ceremony. Even in the blistering heat of our early September wedding, she was the picture of serenity, sweetness and calm. It was a lovely ceremony and we are forever appreciative. 💜

med of! We chose to write our own ceremony and she helped give resources and made everything run smoothly! She goes above and beyond for her couples!! All of her ceremonies are as unique as the couple she is working with! She comforts you and brings you a sense of ease even if you are nervous speaking in front of crowds, she has a backup plan of you start crying and she is just all around so prepared for anything that comes up! I could rave about her forever, she truly made our day so special and she was there for us at every step of the way! Above and beyond is not enough to express how thoughtful and wonderful she is! I’ve never met someone with more compassion or a kinder heart than Nicolle! I will always think fondly of my wedding day because it was wonderful but Nicolle made it more special than I ever dreamed of! If I could give her a million stars it still would not be enough! Thank you Nicolle we love you so much!!

ability of the ceremony and the many options she provides on her website make it easy to design a ceremony to fit your vibe. The ceremony was my favorite part of the elopement day because it meant so much. I would highly recommend Nicolle to couples who are looking for an officiant.

ore thoughtful, informed, professional and kind officiant. She really took the time to understand who we were as a couple and helped us to craft the most appropriate celebration for us. She understands people and she draws on her experience to facilitate the specific couple's best possible day. We have and continue to recommend Nicolle to everyone who asks.

d every step of the way. Even with no microphone all out guests heard her and thought she did an absolutely beautiful ceremony. She also helped keep everything light hearted and stress free and offered her help until the very end of the day:-)
Nicole listens. She hears what is important and matters to you about your vision for a ceremony, even when it is a bit fuzzy. For my husband and me, we wanted a simple celebration ...
of our love and life. Nicole was open and flexible with the flow and content, never telling us what to do. Yet she offered just the right touch of guidance, sharing readings and samples to get our wheels turning. When we needed to get married a few months before our actual wedding, Nicole accommodated our reality. Together, the three of us had a magical and secret ceremony in our backyard. Nicole brings a welcoming, warm, and beautiful presence.
Nicolle was the best choice for our wedding! She worked with us on every detail for our special day. She effortlessly planned the decorations, bouquets, and ceremony while taking...
into account our wishes. She made our fairytale wedding come true! She met with us on many occasions to make sure all the pieces were perfectly in place. She even helped us design modern vows that were personalized to fit my husband and I. She officiated the ceremony flawlessly. We were lucky to have had such a bright and happy soul taking care of our every need. If you want an officiant who loves people with her whole heart and serves others as a way of life...Nicolle is your girl!
We got married in 2006. My husband had attended a wedding of a friend who the officiant was Nicolle. We decided to use her for ours. We met with her a few times and went over wh...
at it was we wanted. My husband is Catholic and I was raised Baptist, but I really have no denomination. We wanted something that wasn't highly religious, but comfortable and incorporated our four children in the ceremony. She was amazing! She suggested sand pouring which included the kids in the ceremony. it was such a great experience. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for someone who will listen to what you want and work with everything, from the vows to every detail of the ceremony! She was truly a blessing.
We chose Nicolle because we do not attend a church and did not want to be married by a pastor, priest etc., nor by a judge. We wanted an officant who did not require religious aff...
iliation but also offered the warmth that a judge may not provide. We met with her 3 times before the ceremony to discuss what we wanted and what type of atmosphere we wanted to create. She has lots of resources and ideas to create your own personalized ceremony, but we were also free to add anything that we liked or came up with. She has a very soothing voice which I appreciated in the crazy moments before the ceremony and also during! She did a great job and I was so happy we chose her to marry us!
