I’m Nikki, the professional wedding celebrant behind Celebrant Atelier. Based in Hove, East Sussex, I craft premium, story-led ceremonies across the South of England and beyond—London, the Cotswolds, Sussex, Surrey—and regularly in Spain (Costa del Sol, Barcelona). Europe and further afield are always considered. Every ceremony is handwritten from a blank page to celebrate your story with elegance, wit, and heart.
Your ceremony should be the heart of your wedding day—setting the pace, the atmosphere, and the memories. When guests say, “We’ve never been to a ceremony like that,” I know we’ve created something truly yours.
Read the 5-star testimonials and book a discovery call to begin crafting your one-of-a-kind ceremony with Celebrant Atelier.
I love each and every ceremony I write - working closely with you to tell your story and design a ceremony which starts as a blank page is the most wonderful thing in the world! I particularly love creating besoke rituals - a Mojito ritual created for a couple who met drinking the cocktails, a Danish ceremony based completely around a rose exchange ceremony, a ceremony based around the couple's rescue dog whose cardboard cut out took pride of place with us, a Polish/Irish based ceremony full of ritual and singing, a Nashville inspired ceremony - there are just too many to say which was my most memorable. My aim is to make each and every ceremony the most memorable!
Professional, caring, friendly, happy, smiley!
My testimonials which reflect the passion and love for what I do! I always go the extra mile!
Enjoy the process and accept help - especially from your mother or mother-in-law - they want to be involved (from someone who knows!).
I love seeing each couple's special touches - they are all unique and wonderful!
I ensure I take time to get to know you both, either in person or on video call. To me this essential and helps me to truly reflect your personalities into the ceremony. Once we have discussed exactly what you want included, I suggest many elements for you to consider.
The ceremony is always yours to change, tweak or add to - until the last minute. I will be there at your rehearsal to discuss last minute choreography details and on the day itself, arrive in plenty of time to make sure everything is ready and to help calm last minute nerves!
A Czech/Irish ceremony which was completely translated complete with translator in attendance! I have used over 14 languages (snippets of) in my ceremonies. I speak working Spanish.
By staying calm - it reflects on everyone and as a former infant and primary school teacher, and mum of 4, grandmother of 4, there really isn't much which phases me!
Make sure you delegate the 'on the day tasks' as you want to enjoy every moment. Every couple I work with tell me how quickly it goes and planning a moment of reflection within the ceremony is something I recommend so you can soak up the moment!
When the couple lock eyes for the first time - such a special moment!
