The creation of a wedding ceremony is an important one, as couples share with their family and friends their dedication of love. 

My passion is handcrafting a ceremony that is as unique as your love for your partner, what this means is that I only take a small number of weddings each year and that each couple I work with receive something that not only will they remember and cherish, but a ceremony that their family friends and community will also remember for a very long time.

It is my belief that ceremony part of a wedding is actually the most important part of this special day, but  it is also one that often gets the most overlooked and the least amount of money is usually spent on it. This is such a shame because the ceremony is what bonds you and your partner together, it is what invites your community into that love and reminds them of the commitment you are making on this special and sacred day.

My training: 

I am a legally ordained minister, qualified to perform weddings, funerals and ceremonies. I am also a priestess and Certified Life Cycle Celebrant with the respected Celebrant Foundation & Institute. I have been involved in creating ritual and ceremonies for the past 10 years.

Each time I create a wedding ceremony is a unique process of getting to know each couple and then working together for several meetings to create a ceremony unique to them.


 I wrote a little about my process in becoming a Celebrant at My Blog if you are interested in reading a little more.

                    

Celebrants are trained professionals who believe in the power and effectiveness of ceremony and ritual to serve basic needs of society and the individual.

Celebrants officiate at personalized nondenominational, same-sex, spiritual and multicultural wedding ceremonies. As a celebrant I will help you create a ceremony that reflects the beliefs  and traditions you find important.

The Celebrant's mission is to help the client create a ceremony that reflects his or her beliefs, philosophy of life, and personality. The beliefs of the Celebrant are immaterial in this process. 

Prices start at $800.00 and depending on location can be $1000.00.

What couples have to say:

Nikiah was an absolute joy to work with! She handcrafted a beautiful and deeply meaningful ceremony for us with, and was wonderfully supportive every step of the way. During our ceremony Nikiah held the sacred space for us and our community, making our wedding day a truly unique and uniting experience for all in attendance. I would recommend Nikiah's services to anyone looking for a wonderful and totally personalized ceremony, she is simply fabulous! - M&E Ross

 

Nikiah's support, creativity and experience made our wedding ceremony incredibly special. From the first time we met, she understood completely our vision and provided resources and ideas for us to dive deeper into how we wanted to be married.

We so enjoyed the few months she worked with us to create, review and adapt our perfect ceremony. Leading up to the wedding, she was organized and helped us with everything from creating a special altar to providing guidance about music and sound.

On the day of the wedding, Nikiah's presence was a sound and grounded addition. She arrived early, brought her own special additions to add to our altar and even came with homeopathics for nerves! During the ceremony, she held the space, was warm, light-hearted, endearing and made all of our guests feel comfortable. Many of the guests have since them commented on the ceremony and how unique and beautiful is was.

We could not have asked for a more perfect officiant for our ceremony and are so grateful to have had someone who supported us in making it the sacred ceremony we had dreamed of. Natalie and Nic
