Perfect Words Ceremonies by Nikki Wood

It was an absolute pleasure to have Nikki as our celebrant at our wedding earlier this year. Nikki was so professional and delivered an amazing heartfelt ceremony. She was also super responsive and supportive in the run up to the ceremony. It’s very clear that she is so passionate about what she does and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other engaged couples.

Nikki was the warmest and kindest person we could have asked for to help us with creating our dream ceremony on our wedding day. She got to know us so well, and that she was reflected in our script and was the highlight of the day for us. Her skill, knowledge and advice was exactly what we hoped for!

We chose Nikki as our wedding celebrant for our ceremony in September this year.From the very beginning she was supportive, informative and open to discussing different options, but also advising what other couples have done, when we got lost!Nikki took the time to get to know us as a couple, we felt in complete control of making our ceremony right for us. On the day itself we couldn't have been in safer hands, Nikki took charge of making sure everyone knew what they were doing and felt comfortable. She delivered a very personal and engaging ceremony, which so many of our guests commented on.Nikki, thank you for all you did to help us to envision exactly what ceremony we wanted and helping us deliver it on the day! Despite being late on probably every deadline you set us (sorry about that) you got us in shape for the day and left us with such wonderful memories.

Nikki produced such a well thought out ceremony that it felt relaxed and easy. She gave off a calm and positive energy – which certainly helped with the nerves! From start to finish Nikki was incredibly professional and organised. And despite us missing a few deadlines she kept us on track and remained flexible, which we really appreciated.Nikki really got to know us and produced a ceremony that was so personal as a result. She listened to any ideas we had and guided us through the whole process. I don’t think we realised at the time just how much we would benefit from her expertise! Nearly all our guests commented on how beautiful the ceremony was. I think we managed tears and laughter all round!We wish we could do it all over again, she made it such a special moment!

We got engaged in October 2022 and met Nikki just two days later at a wedding fayre. We were immediately captivated by Nikki. Prior to meeting Nikki, we had never even heard of independent celebrants, but we left that wedding fayre sure in the knowledge that we had to have Nikki at our wedding!During our eleven-month engagement, Nikki was a constant presence without imposing on us. She has always been available to chat, respond to questions and just share in our wedding joy! She has felt like a very safe, professional, and knowledgeable pair of hands.Without a doubt, the highlight of our journey with Nikki was meeting her in London. We had the best time talking to Nikki and sharing the story of our relationship. We discussed the intricacies of our relationship and our hopes and dreams for the future. Nikki is a wonderful, personable character who has a way of just putting you at ease. It was so natural to share our lives with Nikki and it was such a special opportunity to talk about our relationship in this way.We also had access to Nikki’s website which offers a wealth of information on the wedding ceremony. It was so lovely to have access to this and to have the time to really consider carefully, with Nikki’s guidance, what we wanted from our ceremony. Nikki provides fantastic resources.Nikki created a beautiful, unique wedding script. It was absolutely perfect. In fact, happy tears were shed when we read it together! She had done the most incredible job of capturing us as a couple in a very creative way! It was detailed, personal, and just beautiful.As we approached our wedding, Nikki was always available via email. She was a reassuring presence for us, our bridal party and our vendors, providing information on the venue, positioning diagrams and an order of service. Nikki was definitely a level above some of our other vendors because she was so accessible to us genuinely shared in our excitement for our wedding day.Our wedding ceremony was really beautiful thanks to Nikki. The way she delivered the script was so thoughtful and lovely. Listening to Nikki share our love story really gave us an opportunity to stop and reflect on our journey so far. We had a ‘tying of the knot’ handfasting ceremony which included our mothers and added a more creative and dynamic element to the ceremony. It was a very special moment for us and our family and gave the guests something different to observe during our ceremony.We have had so much positive feedback about our ceremony, with the main focus being the very personal and unique ceremony that Nikki curated and delivered. To be quite honest, our guests had never seen anything like it and were amazed to be part of something so special. Many of our guests have been to several weddings this year and reflected that Nikki offers something so much more that the quite repetitive and sterile ceremonies they’d seen before.Nikki took some lovely photos of us, our venue and our wedding breakfast space and put together a lovely social media post which we were thrilled to share with our guests as she had, once again, captured it all so well!We would highly recommend Nikki. If you’re not considering an independent celebrant, you should; and if you are, definitely consider Nikki! What she offers is something truly special. Your wedding day should reflect you. Your ceremony should pull together the story of your love, the elements of life that you hold dearest, and your hopes and dreams for the future. It is easy to achieve this with Nikki by your side. We are so grateful to her for sharing in our joy and pouring so much love into our special day.

We worked with Nikki on our recent wedding - and we can honestly say that she 100% made the day as special as it was for us! Nikki put so much effort, thought and care into creating our perfect ceremony, really taking the time to understand us as a couple and reflect that in our ceremony - and Nikki's expert advice and guidance really pulled our whole day together. She really went above and beyond, engaging with our international guests and organising the groomsmen, even learning translations!!She has been an absolute joy to work with, and we've had so much fun getting to know Nikki during the process of writing our script for us. Nikki also turned things around very quickly for us and we couldn't be more thankful for that - a real lifesaver!We had endless compliments on our ceremony throughout the remainder of our day, and a beautiful keepsake of our script to look back on for years to come! We couldn't recommend you enough Nikki! Thank you so much for making our day - Kate and Dom x

We couldn't recommend Nikki highly enough, she has been a crucial part of our wedding journey and we couldn't have asked for anything more from her. It was the best day of our lives, and Nikki played a huge role in that.From the moment we met Nikki she made us feel comfortable, spending time to get to know us to ensure she could craft a unique script just for us. We weren't sure on what style of vows we wanted, and Nikki provided many options for inspiration so we could find the perfect fit for us. Many of our guests commented that it was the best ceremony they had been part of, and how much they learn about us as a couple, which was really special to us.Nikki truly went above & beyond, keeping in touch regularly with us, popping in to say hello when we visited the venue, liaising with the venue to ensure the ceremony seating set up and music was correct, and just truly always being there for support. As we've said to Nikki, it's just goodbye for now, till we find another opportunity to use her celebrant services :)

Nikki was incredible. She is so organised, thinking of every detail so we did not have to worry. She really listened and created the perfect unique ceremony for us. She was able to handle 8 bridesmaids, 6 groomsmen, children and a dog all getting involved! She had lots of fun innovative ideas which made it so special. So many guests commented afterwards on how great she was. Afterwards she provided beautifully prepared keep sakes, including beautiful handfasting ribbons and the ceremony printed out in full. We cannot recommend her enough!

We hired Nikki to be our celebrant for our wild wedding at Knepp, and she was a big part of what made our day so special. Everything from professionalism, attentiveness and personalisation was done with passion and us in mind. Part of the experience is answering questions about how you met your other half and your relationship with them, which you give to Nikki before the big day so she can curate a love story that she'll read out at the ceremony. We decided to have this as a surprise, and Nikki didn't disappoint. She wove so many special moments into the speech, which was perfect! We also loved the handfasting, which many of our guests commented on. We're so happy she was there on our special day, and we'd highly recommend her to others looking for a celebrant.

From the moment Nikki came to our house to discuss our wedding plans, we knew we wanted her to be our celebrant. She is attentive and caring, truly devoted to creating a bespoke service for her lucky couples. We had such a perfect day, and our guests rave about how Nikki set the tone for the whole day - which she did. She encouraged us to try new things, like singing a song during our ceremony, and offering creative non-religious ways to tie the knot (literally!). We would highly recommend Nikki to anyone wanting a truly special and bespoke service that is tailored to how you want your day to feel. 10/10!
