Nichole - Wedding Officiant - Lover of Love

I began officiating so anyone could get married in a way that makes them feel loved and supported. It is still my mission today to create a ceremony space that is inclusive of all love.

Reach out if you want to say I Do and feel the love!

Spooky season is upon us and if that's your vibe, let's say I Do!

Maybe you've decorated your front porch to be the cutest this season and it would be the most amazing back drop for you to stand on and say "I do"!

Maybe you reach out to your local haunted forrest to see if you can pop in before opening to pick a spot and say "I do"!

Maybe you reach out to your local pumpkin stand or patch and see if they'll allow you 20 minutes before opening to say "I do" and snap some photos.

Think outside the box and spooky can be what you make it!

Rain on your wedding day? BRING IT ON!

Planning for a simple and cost effective fall I Do can mean that the weather will be less reliable. Here's what I suggest; buy a few clear umbrellas (like in these photos) and do it anyway! The magic is in how you approach the moment and if you've hired a pro who knows how to make it all look perfect.

Location: Battle Alley, Holly Mi - we just pop in, pick a spot, say a quick I do and sign your license. NO indoor backup available.

What you need: Marriage license, 2 witnesses and me!

Things to consider: attire and hire the most amazing photographer you can afford. Happy to recommend our favorites like .co who snapped these

Cost:
Officiant $200
Venue -Battle Alley, free
License $30 (approximate)
Photographer -will depend on who you hire

Planning for a simple I Do this fall? Let me suggest the cutest little downtown gazebo in Milford.

How: We can pop into this area on an evening or early am on the weekend and perform a short and sweet ceremony and sign your marriage license to make it legal.

What you need: Your marriage license - apply at your county clerk's office. At least 2 witnesses over 18 years old to sign the license with us (but maximum 10 guests). Me, your officiant to make the magic happen.

Other's we suggest: hire a professional photographer for a mini wedding session or extended session depending on how many photos you want - we can suggest our favorites like .com sho took these!

Cost:
Officiant $200
License $30 (approximate)
Photographer: will depend on who you hire
Location: free - but know it is a public space so if someone else is using it, we'll just pick another spot or travel up the road to the larger Milford park.

The perfect way to say I Do and stay in budget and warm!
