John V. Sent on 11/06/2024Nichola Collinson, Bespoke Celebrant Ceremonies
Well what can we say? As a shall we say "Mature" couple we have both been through the wedding process before and decided to try again with a married way of life. Date booked, caterers sorted, guest list written only thing left was a celebrant! As neither of us are particularly religious we decided on an independent celebrant and we were recommended by our venue to look at Nichola's website and services (amongst others) we are so glad we did! From our first online chats to actually meeting Nichola the process was fun yet very professional. She "got us" she understood where we were coming from and what we were looking to do. We sat together for about an hour and we answered lots of questions and told our stories. What impressed us the most was that the meeting was not all about Nichola, it was to find out about what made us tick, what made us to decide to get married, what attracted us to each other, how did we see our lives together developing.
After that meeting we waited for Nichola's draft service - Wow! She now knew more about us than we did!
Come wedding day Nichola was at the venue to help, advise, calm the odd nerve and be just like one of our oldest friends. She took us in hand and we just knew it was going to be good.
The service itself was simply magnificent. She first made everyone feel comfortable and clearly was out to make sure our guests enjoyed things as much as we were going to. She filled the room with laughter and love, our guests were loving the way she described us and our history together, learning some things they never knew. She has the knack of reading the room perfectly, she had myself and my bride in stitches and tears in equal measure, she knew when to bring in the solemnity of the occasion and when to make us laugh. It was fantastic, absolutely fantastic!
If you are looking for a celebrant to host your wedding look no further, Nichola Collinson IS the best!

Oh my gosh, what a wonderful review to receive thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you both and be a small part of your wonderful day. It was an honour to tell the story of the couple with the most romantic surname!
Enjoy each other for a lifetime Mr & Mrs Valentine ♥️ -

Helen S. Sent on 15/12/2024An amazing ceremony and celebrant!
We had a great experience with Nichola as our celebrant! We wanted a fusion ceremony to bring together elements of a traditional western and Indian (Hindu) ceremony as a fusion of both our cultures, and Nichola really understood what we were trying to achieve from the get go. She was super helpful throughout the entire process, perfectly blending giving us helpful guidance and suggestions whilst also being led by us and what we wanted. We really enjoyed all our catch ups with her and laughed so much! Together with our Pundit (priest), she wrote a ceremony that reflected both cultures whilst still feeling personal and special to us.
On the day the ceremony was absolutely amazing and we’ve had so many people come to us and tell us how much they enjoyed it. We’re so grateful to Nichola and would absolutely recommend working with her - you will not regret it!Bespoke Celebrant Ceremonies's reply:
Wow thank you so much for leaving such a great review for me. I absolutely loved getting to know you both and really enjoyed writing your script. Your ceremony was filled to the brim with colour, joy and so, so much love. You two were a joy to celebrate and I’m delighted you chose me for your ceremony. Enjoy every minute of your adventures together ♥️ -

We left finding a celebrant quite late, but Nicola had availability and got straight to work! We had a really long face time with her talking through mine and my husbands life story of how we met and all things personal! When we was chatting I just knew she was 100% perfect for us! She knew exactly what we wanted and really nailed it!! We wanted a mixture of traditional vows and then modern ceremony based on love and family! She even managed to find some great humour in our ceremony and it was honestly perfect! She paid great attention to detail and assisted with things like telling my husband when to turn around and included my 5yr old into the ceremony.
We honestly looked forward to and enjoyed the ceremony part just as much as the rest of our day!!
I can’t recommend Nicola enough! She nailed our story perfectly, it didn’t feel awkward, we really enjoyed this part of our day!
She also got some great content of our day and made a gorgeous reel on Instagram which we absolutely loved!
Thank you Nicola
Our ceremony will forever be cherished and I can’t wait to watch the ceremony back once we get our video!

We knew we wanted Nichola from the moment we first read her website. It's rare to be able to truly feel someone's personality without having met them, but I knew we would all really vibe with each other.
Nichola took so much time and care to get to know us and listen to us ramble on for ages about our times together and she used this to make a beautiful ceremony for us. I love that everything was fully customised and we had something unique and quirky for us.
Nichola knew that I didn't enjoy getting up in front of people and the ceremony was a little nerve wracking for me and suggested we do an ice breaker. My partner and I don't like to take ourselves too seriously and definitely wanted something more fun rather than serious. We had a small award ceremony where we gave out awards for longest travel, shortest travel (10 mins haha) etc. So many people commented on this to me after the wedding and how much they enjoyed that and said "it was just so very you". I made handmade badges for the guests at Nichola's suggestion (I love a good arts and crafts) and our guests wore them for the whole day and have them proudly displayed at home.
I could not imagine having a different ceremony. For us, Nichola and Bespoke Celebrant Ceremonies is the one and only option. Nichola is incredible at what she does and we couldn't sing her praises anymore highly.
We loved Nichola because she could give us exactly what we wanted - but she is so versatile. Even if you are somebody who wants a more serious and traditional ceremony, she would be exceptional at this too. We were given lots of options for wording and style and we chose what worked best for us. I just know she would make everybody's ceremony perfect and just the way they want and need it to be.
Nichola is always quick to reply and help when needed. She's incredibly patient even if you ask to change the drafts as many times as you need. It really does feel like you are the only couple in the world when Nichola is working with you. It feels like all her time, focus and attention is on you at all times.
Nichola just has an amazing heart. She genuinely enjoys every minute of being at your wedding. She photographs the brides coming in and took some shots in the ceremony. I really felt so much joy and genuine happiness from her and this made so much difference.
Whatever you do, book with Nichola. You won't regret it. -

Nichola is absolutely amazing. She is professional from start to finish. We had so many comments from our guests praising her and also saying how she set the tone for the rest of the day. We would highly recommend her. -

Couldn’t be happier that Nichola was our celebrant!
Nichola is so flexible, onboard with something different, fun, friendly and made our ceremony! So many of our guests commented it was the most personable and heartfelt ceremony they’d ever witnessed. Couldn’t recommend enough. -

We are so pleased we went down the celebrant route for our wedding at Stockwith Mill. Nichola made us feel at ease instantly with her bubbly and friendly nature. We felt like we'd known her forever. Her expertise in what she does captured our life story brilliantly which made people interested and engaged.
Nichola was professional, fun and so easy to talk to. We can't wait to see her to show her all our photos from our special day as we would consider her not only our celebrant but our friend. Thank you Nichola for doing us proud!! 🧡💍👰♂🤵 Lucy and Bill Thompson xx -

We cannot thank Nichola enough for creating the most beautiful and personalised ceremony for our wedding. From the moment we met, it was clear that she truly cared about getting to know us as a couple. Nichola took the time to understand our story, our values, and what was important to us, which really showed in the way she designed the ceremony. Every moment felt tailored to who we are, from the words spoken to the special touches that made it uniquely ours. It wasn’t just a ceremony; it was an emotional, intimate experience that reflected our love and personalities perfectly. Her warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail put us at ease, and so many of our guests commented on how moving and special the ceremony was. We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant to be part of our big day. -
