Nick was so funny and personable, and very flexible. Our family and friends adored him.

His presence is so warming.

There are not enough incredible works for Nick.

I had family and friends who came up to us at the wedding asking us if he was a family friend because of how easy he was to talk to.

We loved Nick! My older sister used Nick for her wedding and we loved him so much we decided to use him for ours too! He is very personable and funny, we felt so comfortable with him. Our family and friends thought he was a close personal friend because of how he treated us. I couldn’t recommend Nick more for a wedding officiant!

So glad we found Nick! We had the absolute pleasure of having Nick (Modern Ministries) as our officiant for our March 2024 wedding! Nick was so funny and personable, and very flexible when it came to our ceremony requests. He was also great at communicating with us leading up to our wedding date, and was on time for our early morning rehearsal and our afternoon ceremony. Our family and friends absolutely adored him. We would highly recommend using Modern Ministries for your officiating needs!

Personalized, authentic, and funny! Nick officiated our wedding at the LAST minute, and could not have been MORE responsive. Such a thoughtful man, and made our small ceremony very memorable. Oh yeah, and he’s really funny and fun to be around. Can’t recommend him highly enough.

Wonderful Experience! Minister Nick was absolutely a pleasure to work with! He was very responsive throughout the entire planning process and made planning a destination wedding easy from Pennsylvania! The ceremony went absolutely perfect and smoothly thanks to Nick! Highly Recommend!

Love Nick! Nick was so amazing, he is so funny and personable. I had family and friends who came up to us at the wedding asking us if he was a family friend because of how easy he was to talk to. Nick always answered my emails right away whenever I had a question and he made the whole process very easy. My sister loved him so much he will be officiating her wedding in May! Highly recommend Nick!

If you find yourself asking who you want to marry you and you’re on this page. Stop looking right now. Nick is your answer. He is professional, kind, positive, and silly. If you want someone that will take your ceremony above and beyond, he will do it for you. There are not enough incredible words for Nick. This incredible man did our ceremony exactly how we wanted. He fed off of our energy and the ceremony was better than perfect. He gave us plenty of options to choose how our tiny elopement would go and told us to adjust it to our liking. We got it to him and he did everything perfectly. We had a lot of laughs and so much love was shared. I will forever be grateful that he is who we chose to marry us.

There’s no one better! Nick was AMAZING from the moment we spoke with him. We found him sort of last minute in our search, but working with him was the easiest part of our wedding planning. He personalized our ceremony script with fun quirk, which we loved. It was almost as if he knew us beforehand and fit right in. He’s also very kind and you can tell he loves what he does. I couldn’t recommend him more!

As a sort of last-minute change of plans (6 weeks maybe??) we wanted to make sure our marriage was legal in the law of North Carolina. Nick came in to save the day and kept our wishes of having a friend heavily involved in the ceremony. We got the best of both worlds by having our friend assist with the ceremony and then Nick swooped in with the legal (and important) stuff AND he dealt with all our paperwork! So funny and nice, we are very proud our paths crossed and he was able to marry us. Nick even helped our friend with his flow of his speech. Nick is knowledgeable, been down the aisle many times, and was a true comfort to have on our day. We highly recommend booking him as your wedding officiant!

It was a pleasure to have Nick be a part of our wedding day. He is very professional, happy to accommodate requests, and has a great sense of humor! The wedding ceremony turned out great and everything ran smooth without any hiccups thanks to him. It is evident Nick has great experience with weddings and you will not want to miss out on having him be a part of yours.

Leading up to the day of, Nick was professional, very easy to work with, and prompt in responding to communications. During the ceremony, he had the perfect balance of reverence, humor, and joy that made it special. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

We absolutely loved having Mr. Nick officiate our intimate wedding! He has a very warm personality & very funny. We had a little hiccup in our wedding but he made sure to keep us focused & in the moment. We highly recommend his services!

Had a last minute need for someone to wed me and my wife, Nick came in clutch, was able to give us some ideas on how to do the ceremony, let us morph it slightly to fit exactly what we were looking for. Added our own personal vows it was simple. Sometimes the little simple things on such an anxiety ridden but exciting day can be the best part. Nick really came through and delivered a great service.
— James, Review on Wedding Wire
I totally recommend Nick for your special day! He is very professional and helpful, he answered all our questions. Our ceremony was beautiful and he has a great personality so I think that really kept the ceremony really smooth.

It was an absolute pleasure having Nick officiate our wedding. Nick offered multiple ceremony options and allowed us to customize one for our needs. He was super friendly, responsive, funny, yet professional. He even ad-libbed a funny line when someone didn’t go according to plan with the music, thereby alleviating the stress of the issue.

I’m so happy we hired Nick for our wedding ceremony, and here is why:
-we held a bech front ceremony and the waves very so loud, that on a video we can barely here us! And Nick you certainly can here! He has a wonderful voice! - he made us a great presentation and speech with everything needed, he can add a joke or be official enough. - he was patient to wait even though we we running pretty late for unexpected reason. - he counts all the international traditions and customs. Thank you Nick!!! Tatiana and Jeffrey.

Nick was excellent! We had a destination wedding and didn’t know anyone in the area. He responded quickly to all of our questions. He was very professional but still had us laughing before the ceremony to keep us relaxed. He went above and beyond on an extremely hot day and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to perform our ceremony.
— Travis, Review on Wedding Wire
My wife and I planned our elopement wedding in about three days with Nick‘s help. He was completely amazing throughout the whole experience. He was responsive, sensitive to our particular needs, and his personality was a perfect fit for us. He made us feel completely taken care of throughout the entire process and we would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to get hitched. We liked him so much we hired him as the Dj for our reception!

We hired Nick to officiate our wedding and we couldn’t have been happier! He offered pre-written ceremony options for us to choose from or customize. It really helped us decide how we wanted our ceremony to flow. He was very personable, professional, and a lot of fun! Get yourself an officiant who will dance down the aisle!

Stop looking - Nick is your guy! Highly recommend Nick! We loved working with Nick for our ceremony. The whole process was a breeze, and what he said during the ceremony was absolutely perfect. (And he had us laughing throughout, which we LOVED!) Thank you, Nick! Our day was better than we dreamed it would be. We appreciate you!

Nick was hands down THE best choice for us. We spoke with two other officiants beforehand but once I talked to Nick I knew I couldn’t pick anyone else but him. His presence was so warming and the conversation never once turned awkward and there was no awkward silence. He made sure we communicated throughout the process and made sure to connect with me whenever he had a question. Nick connected with all my vendors and they all loved him just as much as we did! He made the small ceremony intimate but also fun. He even helped with my 1yr old son while we were taking pictures after the ceremony. Something we never asked him to do but because he’s amazing helped anyway he could. I recommended Nick to everyone looking for an officiant. You won’t regret choosing him!
— Angel, Review on Wedding Wire
Nick is absolutely phenomenal! I blindly chose him online so you never know what to expect. He exceeded our expectations! He sent me a draft of our ceremony after we answered some personal questions about our relationship. I slightly tweaked some things in the ceremony rehearsal and he walked through everything with my changes and then made the appropriate changes to make the ceremony perfect.
Nick made us feel so comfortable and was such a great highlight to our special day! We received many compliments from the guests on how well he did making our ceremony fit us and the type of couple we are. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Nicholas was a great addition to our big day. He had a very good sense of humor and was super flexible with our dates and times for the rehearsal and everything. He was also super helpful and assisted us with what type of ceremony/vows we wanted! Thanks for making our wedding day so great!!
