Your first meeting with a celebrant is a non-obligation meeting for you to get a sense of what they’re actually like. It’s no surprise that booking a Wedding celebrant who matches the vision for your wedding day is important, so meeting your celebrant before you book them is the first step.
It’s a privilege to have met many loving, amazing, wonderful people, the minute we met, it’s like we had known each other for years. I will advise/guide you, making your ceremony unique and suited only to you and your family, chosen by you, not chosen for you. I know from the moment we meet; we will start to create the best ceremony ever.
Working alongside so many individual people, listening to their great ideas, what they want their ceremony to be, it’s fantastic. When that penny drops, we realise that together we have created the ceremony to say “Wow”

Funerals
Funerals/Remembrance/Memorials
A celebration of life, one of the last things we can do for a loved one is give them a personal and fitting goodbye.

Grief can overwhelm our ability to think straight. Often planning or even considering the funeral ceremony of somebody we have lost can feel like an impossible task. We need to mourn, yet we also need to remember a life, where that person’s memories, the gifts they gave us can be shared and remembered. We will remember them with respect and love.

Simply Amazing
Honestly finding the words to describe how special Nige made our day has been harder than writing my vows. From the second we meet him, he made us feel at ease. When ever I’ve been to a wedding the things I remember the most is the dress and entertainment. Everyone one of our guests have said it was the best ceremony they’d ever seen. He asked us questions about how we meet and what’s it like being in a relationship, then created a ceremony we didn’t even know we wanted. Nige you are one in a million and you made our day perfect. Thank you for making a dream come true that we hadn’t even dreamt yet.
Our Special Day, After 10 Years, Made Special By Nige!
What can I say, Nige was instrumental in our day – it just wouldn’t have happened without his support, guidance and words of wisdom.
After several redundancies over the years we had almost given up on trying to get married, but through engaging Nigel’s services as a celebrant we were able to take the daunting task of planning a wedding and have it broken down into manageable steps.
Times, dates, order of arrival, which styles of music, example readings and vows to gain inspiration from, you really have the ability to either run with some very passionate and spiritual readings and example orders of the day, make your own, or do as we did and have a mix of both.
We had several ceremonies within our day, something that our guests have taken away with some incredible curiosity (some choosing to use aspects of our wedding in theirs which is an amazing compliment), all of this came from Nige’s willingness to sit with Jaq and I and allow us to throw ideas down on paper, and then rationalise what’s best suited to our day.
I’d wholeheartedly recommend Nigel to anyone looking for a Wedding Celebrant, as we just couldn’t have done this without him.
The Best Ceremony Our Guests Had See.
Nige made us feel at ease as soon as we met him, he’s so knowledgeable and he made planning our ceremony extremely easy, he removed all of the stress and offered up advice on all areas of the day where we were struggling.
Nige met with us a few times prior to our day, set up a What’sApp group for us three to keep in contact. Nige explained every part of the ceremony to us in advance, which meant we could leave all the stress and nerves at the door and enjoy our day.
What really stood out during the ceremony for us, is that Nige gives you subtle nods as to what you need to do as he reads through different parts of the ceremony, so that you know where you’re at and when your speaking part is coming up, and when you should say ‘I do’ etc.
The feedback that we’ve had on our ceremony has been incredible, people have said it’s the best they’ve ever seen. The ceremony plays out like a Registrar led ceremony, you’ll sign the certificate etc. but it’s so much more personal.
Nige, we can’t thank you enough. Thank you for all your help and support and thank you again for the fantastic ceremony!
