Exactly what we were looking for!

Rev Nick was everything I was looking for in an officiant and more! Book him!

Nick was so open to make our ceremony exactly how WE wanted it. It was important to us to incorporate stories of our family history and significance of our ceremony location. Nick never pushed back on elements we wanted to add and worked through a several drafts of the ceremony to make sure we got exactly what we were looking for. My husband and I wanted a mix between a spiritual and traditional ceremony, which he nailed. I was overall just really impressed with his flexibility and the care he put into personalizing the ceremony to suit us.

Nick's demeanor and presentation style was exactly what I was looking for. He has a very kind presence and speaks with confidence and sincerity. Since we didn't have a preacher available that we had a current relationship with, it was important to me to find someone that felt like we had a long standing relationship with, and someone that looked like a preacher, as silly as that sounds.

I had so many compliments in the weeks following our ceremony on the ceremony and Rev Nick specifically. I can't imagine our day without him!

Such an Amazing Job!

Rev. McDonald spent the time to listen to us and our preferences before the big day. Together, we were able to craft a "script" for the ceremony that was personalized and special for us and our guests! He was easy to communicate with and extremely helpful with suggestions for readings and flow!
