About

Many people ask me "Why did you become a Civil Marriage Celebrant?" My answer is always simple! I get joy from helping people! I have a "day" job so I am a Civil Marriage Celebrant because I want to be. Becoming a marriage celebrant was almost an instinctive choice. I get to help people at a significantly important time in their lives!

Nicholas Forbes did an amazing job for us, it was just as casual and relaxing as we wanted it to be, and he followed everything we wanted! If you don't want one of those old boring ceremonys, Nick is the one to go with!

We could not have been happier with our choice to have Nick as our celebrant on our special day. Nick was warm and friendly whenever we spoke to him and always willing to assist where required. On the day, he was presented immaculately and conducted our ceremony smoothly and ensured it was full of love. We cannot recommend him highly enough - thanks for making our special day so perfect! x

Nick was an absolutely sensational celebrant. He tailored the wedding to how we wanted it, making great suggestions along the way. He was very flexible, adding last minute requests, while personalising the whole thing to ensure it felt genuine and like "our day", not a stock standard off the shelf product. I recommend Nick very highly!
