Who am I?
My name is Nick and I am The Rolling Celebrant! Inspired by the opportunity to officiate my brothers wedding, I discovered a passion for helping other couples celebrate their unique love story and create an everlasting memory. I aim to make the experience of planning your ceremony not only stress free, but fun and exciting!
I have a wealth of experience with public speaking, as an MC and with my podcast “chats from a chair”, so let’s add your wedding to the list! With qualities such as reliability, a fun-loving spirit, down-to-earth approach and using my unique outlook on life, I work alongside you to create the ceremony that represents you as a couple.
