About Ultimate Wedding Ceremonies

Ultimate Wedding Ceremonies

Officiant

I’m Nancy, and I can’t wait to officiate your wedding. Your wedding ceremony is so much more than just the legal necessities; it’s the very beginning of your new adventure together. It’s about you and your love story, and bringing your guests along for the beautiful ride. It’s about sharing what makes you absolutely perfect for each other, and inviting in all the people you hold dear to feel connected to you as a couple. That’s what I do. Your ceremony will have everything you DO want in it, and nothing you don’t. All wrapped around an epic love story: Yours.

I take the time to understand you and your dream ceremony. Whether it's "Short & Sweet" or a full-blown orchestration, we collaborate and make it personal and meaningful by accenting the journey that brought the two of you to this momentous occasion.

In three words: Collaborative, Flexible, Innovative

    A delight!

    Nancy was a delight to work with! She is quick to respond and has a concrete, efficient system for planning meetings and the ceremony that keeps the process from feeling overwhelming. While she keeps the couple's wishes as her center focus, she is very used to her own established ways of doing things. She isn't afraid to share her insights, so if you have a unique vision, just be sure to advocate for what you want if it differs from her usual routine!

    Hi Bri, Thank you for your kind words and thoughtful feedback! I’m so glad my planning process helped make everything feel manageable. I’m always happy to share the insight I’ve gained from experience, but I also appreciate the reminder that every couple’s vision is uniquely their own. It was truly a pleasure working with you both, and I wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

    The Absolute Best Officiant!

    Nancy was the absolute BEST officiant! She wrote and created such a Beautiful ceremony for us! Nancy planned this out so carefully, thoughtfully and meticulously. She gathered information to write our Love Story which was amazing! We appreciate her so much! Nancy went way, way, way, above and beyond for our ceremony. She is super organized and very efficient. I would also like to say she has a lot of patience (especially during our rehearsal). Nancy really is amazing in every sense of the word. We could not thank her enough for our beautiful ceremony! She told our love story and it was the most amazing thing to actually listen to! I would recommend Nancy every single time! She is so caring and thoughtful as well and now a friend for life. Thank you Nancy for going way above and beyond for our ceremony! You made it great and all of our guests said it was the most intimate and beautiful ceremony they have ever been to! We really have Nancy to thank for that! Even with the last minute changes due to the weather we all came together and made it work! We appreciate you more than you know! Every time I think of our ceremony and you being the officiant telling our story I smile! We absolutely love Nancy and so thankful and grateful for meeting her!

    Nancy Is Wonderful

    Nancy was amazing from the second we hired her for our wedding. She made the whole process so easy and was so kind and supportive. I love the questionnaires she sent to us and our family and used that to create our very unique love story and was a surprise till the ceremony. It made our ceremony so special and nothing like anyone has seen before they said. It was so special and so in tune to us and our story. Something I’ll never forget. Nancy was even so patient and understanding when we had some of the wedding party running late to rehearsal. I’ll forever recommend Nancy for any officiant needs. So thankful she was part of our special day.

    We had a wonderful experience with Nancy as our wedding officiant. She was incredibly patient, thoughtful, and well prepared throughout the entire process. She helped us think through many details ahead of time and made everything feel smooth and stress-free on our wedding day. We especially appreciated how respectful Nancy was of our culture and personal preferences. She took the time to understand what was meaningful to us and made the ceremony feel warm, personal, and truly ours. We’re very grateful to have had her as part of our special day and would highly recommend her!

    We are so lucky to have Nancy to be our officiant for our wedding elopement. She was a great communicator and tells us exactly what and how things will happen so that we can fully relax and enjoy the moment. I really appreciate her work in creating our personal story which feels like us. I’d recommend Nancy to anyone that is looking for an officiant for their wedding at a great price.


My fee includes all travel, including the rehearsal, within a 20 mile radius from my location in Lacey, WA. There are no extra fees. If you would like me to travel beyond a 20 mile radius, I charge $1/mile. Venues over 50 miles from Lacey, WA may require an overnight stay if there is a rehearsal the day prior to the wedding.
I recommend and gently insist on a rehearsal – that’s why it’s included in my services! If your venue is not available for a rehearsal, don’t fret! We just need a space where we can imagine a “front area” and practice walking down a mock aisle and standing in a line. We can make anywhere work; a park, a condo rec-room, a hallway… We want to do everything we can to make sure everyone is as relaxed as possible on your wedding day. A rehearsal – anywhere – goes a long way towards that.
After we meet and you decide to book me, I send you an email with payment options. You can pay by PayPal, Zelle, or Venmo, or CashApp. I ask for a 50% booking deposit as a retainer, and I ask for the remaining 50% well after you have the draft of your ceremony script and it’s almost complete. Then I start building your story and fine-tuning your ceremony until you’re in love with it.
You will obtain your Washington Marriage License and provide it to me before your ceremony. Then I provide registration of your marriage with the county clerk’s office.
This has never happened, but fortunately I have a deep bench of several licensed and experienced colleagues who I know would knock your ceremony out of the park as well as I would. Your ceremony will already be completely written by me, of course, and I would call on one of my colleagues to seamlessly step in and read and perform what you and I have created together.
