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!

From the first time I worked with Nick I knew I was working with someone who had a rare and wonderful combination of talent and professionalism. Nick has a warmth in his heart that shines in all he does. When you talk to him, and bring him into your plans and ideas, you can feel that you are getting the same terrific warmth he brings to his own life and family. Nick is an incredible speaker. He can make the words of a ceremony dance and sing. I knew from the first time I saw him work that I would be eager and happy to recommend Nick to anybody who wants a ceremony filled with joy. He is the perfect choice for a couple keen to know they are putting their big day in the hands of a true professional they can trust. Nick is experienced and diligent, and a heck of a lot of FUN! A terrific choice for your day.
