Super responsive and helpful. Went over everything we needed to do for our wedding and was on time and ready to go for the event. Would recommend to anyone looking for a thoughtful, friendly, and flexible officiant.

Hi everyone! I’m Nersela but everyone calls me Ella.
I’ve lived in Virginia most of my life and graduated from Virginia Tech (#GoHokies!). Virginia is home to me in every sense of the word, which makes it even more special to celebrate love stories right here in the place that shaped me.
I truly love, love and I always have! There is something so powerful about two people choosing each other intentionally, standing in front of their closest family and friends, and promising forever. Being invited into that moment is something I never take lightly.
Outside of weddings, I’m someone who finds joy in the simple things such as knitting, baking something sweet for the people I care about, and getting lost in a good book. I’m sentimental at heart, and that naturally carries into the ceremonies I create. I’ll gently warn you now, I do get emotional sometimes. If I tear up during your vows, it’s only because I’m genuinely moved by the love and commitment in front of me. It’s truly an honor to witness it!
More than anything, I’m excited to celebrate with you and help create a ceremony that feels authentic, heartfelt, and uniquely yours. Your love story deserves to be told beautifully and I would be so grateful to be part of it.
