    A great day with or without Nannette

    We had Nannette prepare our wedding ceremony. She helped us have a general intro about love and then we worked with her on our own personal vows we wanted to say to each other. It was so helpful and insightful to hear her feedback for the vows as well as a clear outline of the ceremony. Funny thing is actually the day before our wedding Nannette called in sick! She was absolutely bed ridden but she was SO professional with handling the last minute change. She had already contacted our wedding coordinator and had her close friend officiant take her place and do the same ceremony for us. We didn't even miss a beat because Nannette was so on top of this potentially stressful situation. It was so helpful to have Nannette through the process. We had a great ceremony because of her planning and professionalism

    Nanette was Amazing!

    My husband and I hired Nanette to be our officiant at our wedding and she was amazing. Nanette is so helpful, very professional, and very well organized. She walked us through the entire process and came up with the perfect ceremony for us! If you need a wedding officiant you should definitely consider hiring Ceremonies by Nanette.

    Highly Recommend Working with Nanette!

    My husband and I decided to elope earlier this year and reached out to Nanette to officiate and for pre-marital counseling. We had such a great experience with Nanette, who made our ceremony so beautiful and personal. She really got to know us in pre-marital counseling and gave us great perspective and guidance for starting our marriage together. She's so warm and personable and made our elopement ceremony unforgettable! Highly recommend!!

    Nanette is a blessing

    Working with Ceremonies by Nanette enhanced our wedding experience greatly. Communication was smooth, and Nanette was even willing to meet with us a couple weeks before the big day. At that meeting it felt like chatting with close friend and we felt that same connection when Nanette beautifully performed our ceremony weeks later. Ceremonies by Nanette provided the lovingly thought out structure that we needed for our intimate, 60 guest ceremony. No microphone, no overproduction, just love! Definitely book Ceremonies by Nanette for your nuptials!

    Caring and Professional

    Working with Nanette was a breeze. From the first phone call to the day of the ceremony everything was seamless. She was well organized and communicated all information in a timely manner. She was available to answer questions or offer suggestions. We were coming from out of state and her professionalism and caring personality put us at ease. The ceremony that she prepared was sweet and meaningful. Nanette really helped make our day special!

    Wonderful Elopement Officiant

    I would recommend Nanette to any friends or family in the SB area looking for an officiant. We reached out to her with a very small timeframe for an elopement (2 weeks before our desired date!) and not only was she incredibly flexible, but she dedicated so much time and effort to making our ceremony personalized to us and our vision. The end result was a beautiful day that could not have happened without her support and guidance!

    A fantastic Officiant & Celebrant!

    From start to finish, Nanette was absolutely fantastic to work with. By the day of our wedding we felt like we knew her and she knew us - and she was a steady, soothing presence leading up to and during our ceremony and celebration. I would highly recommend Nanette to anyone looking for an officiant & celebrant - she was simply wonderful to work with. Thanks Nanette for being a part of our special day!

    Nanette is made for this role

    My wife and I eloped, so picking an officiant felt extremely important to us because they would be the only other person there sharing our special day. We set up a phone call with Nanette and knew immediately that she was our choice. Prior to the wedding she provided us with all the instructions and guidance we would need and even offered to help with vows if we needed it. She asked us questions so she could give us the type of service we desired and she absolutely nailed it. The ceremony was perfect. Nanette is so warm and kind and we could feel that she was genuinely happy for us and loves being a part of these moments. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

    Great experience

    We decided to hire Nanette as our private officiant and can’t be happier with our decision. She is very professional, warm, listens to our story and truly wants to make the best experience for me and my husband. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an intimate ceremony!

    Beautiful ceremony and kind words

    Nanette is an incredible officiant! Though the first time we met face to face was our ceremony, I felt so comfortable with her leading the day. She spoke with intention, kindness and warmth. Her written words were excellent. I would recommend her to all couples.

    Look No Further

    After an initial call with Nanette we knew we found the right person. She helped pick vows we cherish and provided a beautiful ceremony with humor, depth and meaning. Her presence is calm lighthearted and focused. I can't imagine being in better hands.

    Nanette was amazing!!!!

    First, she gives you a little packaged document of what is said in the ceremony which was so thoughtful and cute. We just had her surprise us what she was going to say and we absolutely loved it! We wrote our own vows, and it was such a beautiful special day, Nanette made it so flawless and smooth, and we can't emphasize enough that you won't regret it!!!

    Hire Nanette, you won't be disappointed!

    We had a friend marry us and figured that we could just google a wedding ceremony template. While I was researching how to write a wedding ceremony, I found Nanette and I am beyond thankful that I did.
    She made the wedding ceremony extremely special, personal and unique to us as a couple. The ceremony felt so right for the two of us and made it that much more special. She helped us find a reading that both matched the personality of the reader and us as a couple. After the ceremony, everyone said it was the best ceremony that they ever saw as a friend as an officiant. Hiring Nanette was one of the best things we did for our wedding and if you are debating if it is worth it, it is! You won't regret it and you'll cherish your wedding ceremony memories.

    A Wonderful Officiant!

    Nanette McIntyre performed a moving and beautiful ceremony for us at the Santa Barbara Courthouse. Throughout the process, Nanette was very helpful and knowledgeable about the entire wedding process, including helping to communicate with the courthouse officials, and helping us with the wedding certificate paperwork. She is a warm and wonderful officiant and we highly recommend her for your wedding! Oh, and by the way, she married us during the pandemic and despite the precautions (masks and all) she still made the whole experience special.

    Lovely experience working with Nanette

    We loved working with Nanette! We feel that after our first call she already understood the dynamics between us. Her genuine interest in us allowed her to write the loveliest ceremony which captured the essence of our relationship. Nanette is patient and sincere and was an absolute delight in person at our wedding weekend. Can wholeheartedly recommend her!

    working with Nanette and having her officiate our wedding was better than I could have imagined. The ceremony and she wrote for us was so special, and she did absolutely everything she could to make the days leading up to the wedding and the wedding itself a magical experience! I would absolutely refer other couples to Nanette with no hesitation, she truly made the whole experience about my fiancé and I's relationship and celebrating our individual love.

    Best officiant and life coach!

    Nanette was a great officiant to work with! She is very sweet and knowledgeable and we absolutely loved the ceremony she wrote for us. We chose the package that included 2 pre-marital counseling sessions and I'm glad we did! We felt so comfortable talking with her during our two sessions and she gave really great advice. Highly recommend!

    Fantastic Nanette

    Nanette was the epitome of class and professionalism while working with my husband, Andy, and myself, for our Santa Barbara Courthouse wedding on May 7, 2021. Nanette wrote a beautiful and customized ceremony for us. My mother-in-law teared up afterwards and said it was the best ceremony she's heard! In addition, Nanette helped keep us on track, held us accountable (we needed this!!), considered the details, and worked with us on revisions after we had to move the ceremony from June 2020 to May 2021 due to Covid. She looked great in the photographers pictures, heh, and she brought us a lovely printed version of the ceremony bound by a ribbon and a handwritten thank you card. She is wonderful!

    Amazing Officiant and Ceremony!

    Nanette wrote and officiated a beautiful ceremony for our elopement! We were originally planning on going through the courthouse, but they weren't doing any in-person appointments so we went ahead and decided to hire a private officiant. I'm so glad we ended up with Nanette! She was extremely responsive and understanding while I was still trying to figure things out. I also liked that she was available to give me feedback when I decided to write my own vows. On the day of, she showed up early and delivered a beautiful ceremony for us. It was truly a great experience and I'm so thankful she was part of our special day.
