My partner and I come from different religious and cultural backgrounds, we wanted our wedding ceremony to not only honored our cultures but also make our guests feel at home and included. Reverend Nikki Kleinberg helped us bridge both worlds by delivering a sermon that addressed cultural, spiritual and gender identities in an Indian orthodox ceremony officiated by my partner’s families priest. Nikki helped us navigate the complexity of bridging cultural and religious worlds in a way that felt so expansive and connected. Would highly recommend reverend Nikki!

Working with Nikki was a dream. She was very attentive to our disparate needs and wants, able to tailor our ceremony to incorporate our diverse spiritual, religious, and emotional beliefs. She has such a breadth of knowledge and experience with different belief systems. She is very organized and the process was streamlined without being impersonal, in fact quite the opposite, it felt like creating a wholly new experience for us. We highly highly highly recommend her.

Nikki, was the most incredible wedding officiant.
She took the time to really get to know what was important to us about our relationship and crafted a beautiful ceremony for us. She helped guide us in what was needed and explained how we could tweak things to make them our own and have our own unique ceremony.
Her opening remarks were beautiful and unique to us, and our relationship. She also included our friends and family in the ceremony in a way I hadn't seen done before, which made everyone in attendance feel like they were truly part of the occasion--more so than just being a guest in attendance.
My husband is atheist and I grew up catholic, and Nikki did an incredible job of navigating that dichotomy and weaving together a beautiful ceremony that stayed true to both of us.
I would recommend Nikki to anyone looking for a wedding officiant -- She is sure to create a tailored ceremony that you and your spouse will remember for the rest of your lives.

Throughout the whole process of working with Nikki, she had really thoughtful prompts and ideas to help us reflect on our relationship and figure out what aspects we wanted to include in our wedding ceremony. She brought a playful but professional, open-minded presence as a facilitator. We loved working with her!

Nikki was the perfect officiant for our wedding. She met with us in advance to learn about our desires for the ceremony, our unconventional belief systems, and we had her surprise us with her talk on the day. It wound up being perfect. Sincere, spiritual but not religious, funny, and so personally tailored to us. She then gave us a book of her speech afterwards so we could revisit it. Can not recommend strongly enough!

Nikki was amazing and made our wedding day so so special. She took the time to get to know our spiritual beliefs and our views on marriage with an open heart and mind, and made sure to incorporate it into the services with so much love and care. She did such a good job making sure the service was uniquely about us and our love; which made everything so much more special. We highly recommend her as a wedding officiant!

In September 2021, Nikki was a facilitator, guide and officiant to our marriage and wedding journey. She helped us craft a wonderful ceremony together and was an integral part in the process. She showed up genuinely, honouring the sacredness in each of us and our guests. We are so thankful for her presence, guidance and counselling during that journey, and helped centre us to move beyond the ceremony and into our marriage with true and open hearts. We are so thankful.

Reverend Kleinberg brought a great positive energy to our wedding day. She helped us put together a ceremony that honored our values and empowered our relationship. She was very collected, and confidently guided us through the entire process, preventing stress and anxiety. We were in good hands. Nikki offered creative ideas that gave our ceremony a personal feel, and was instrumental in bringing our families together in celebration. We truly could not have done it without her, and will forever be thankful for her caring service. Thank you, Nikki!

As chaplain for our wedding, Nikki's approach to the ceremony was extremely warm and marked by her unique spirit and personal touch. She was thoughtful about all the details, meeting with us beforehand to talk through our vision of the big day and all the things we wanted to highlight in the ceremony. She also demonstrated a high level of skill and care in her role as connector and facilitator, recognizing this as a moment of two different families coming together and where many family members were meeting one another for the first time.
