Hi, I'm Niki May

BEAUTIFUL, ENGAGING AND FUN CEREMONIES

Planning my own festival-themed wedding in 2014 I realised there was a lot in common with my work writing and producing films. Finding decorations was like sourcing props, coordinating the bridal party was like managing actors and writing my vows was like producing a script.

Being an unapologetic romantic I began to dream of a new and exciting career helping others to celebrate the special moments in their lives.

I’ve since gained a diploma as a family celebrant from the UK Society of Celebrants, immersed myself in the world of weddings and brought two beautiful daughters into the world.

I love being able to incorporate my skills as a writer, producer and a Mum in a job that celebrates people at their best. Giving you what you want from your ceremony is my number 1 priority because I know how important these moments are in your life.

**Please see my special offers for details of how I can support you through the coronavirus outbreak**

What's my ceremony style?

My ceremonies are not your average stuffy ceremonies. They’re a celebration. My priority is giving you what you want, even if you don’t know what it looks like yet.

I offer unique elements that make your day stand out and ensure everyone remains engaged throughout. These can include readings, songs, flashmob choirs, time capsule ceremonies, dances, handfastings, candle ceremonies, flower blessings, grand entrances and everything in between.

I ensure that your ceremony is seamless, engaging and something your guests will never forget. It will be beautifully written, and tell your unique story.

Coronavirus Support

You couldn’t have planned for it. It’s the stuff of movies: there’s a horrible virus spreading across the globe and it’s messing with your wedding plans.

If you’re trying to find a way to carry on, if you’re set on the date, if you really want to wear your dress, get in touch! I’m offering a virtual ceremony service that will allow you to have your cake, wear your dress and marry the person of your dreams regardless.

You’ll get the same celebrant service from me – a beautiful and completely bespoke ceremony that tells your love story. Your friends and family will be able to witness you say your vows regardless of their or your lockdown status. It’s the ultimate alternative wedding experience surely?!

For any weddings currently affected by the coronavirus I’m offering rebooking for free (subject to availability on requested date).

Naming Ceremony | 02/23/2020 | Chelsea, London

Niki’s warmth shone through as she delivered the most beautiful naming ceremony for our little boy. We enjoyed every moment of planning the day. Niki’s ideas for including all of the key people in our baby’s life were fantastic and it was clearly planned with so much care and attention to detail. We all laughed, cried and sang our hearts out. I would recommend Niki to anyone!

Naming Ceremony | 09/01/2019 | Ifield

From the first time we discussed our ideas I knew we were in safe hands. Niki had plenty of great suggestions and shared her experience of what tends to work well. But at no stage did we feel pushed into anything that wasn’t our choice. We really did get to shape our own ceremony. Somehow Niki brought together our scrambled thoughts into a coherent and touching story that gave added meaning to the whole event. On the day itself, Niki was an oasis of calm amidst the chaos! She put everybody at ease with her beautiful voice and relaxed manner. We couldn’t have been happier: Niki, you have a rare gift – thank you for everything!

Naming Ceremony | 10/01/2019 | Horsham

Niki wrote the most beautiful, touching and personal ceremony for our son’s naming ceremony. Her lovely persona and soft lilting accent made her delivery of the ceremony and working with her a genuine pleasure! So many of our guests came up to me and commented on how impressed they were with our lovely and talented celebrant. Thank you Niki for making the day so special for us.
