About Me
Hi, I’m Nichola;
Wife, Mum, Nana, dog lover, vibe curator, love celebrator and official party starter!
I’m a proud Mancunian (hence the nod to my roots with the little bee buzzing around) but alas, I don’t have a Champagne Super Nova or the accent! I love to travel both near and far, enjoying new experiences.
I adore rummaging around flea markets finding vintage treasures to re-purpose. I’m in my element shopping for cushions and candles and I’m always decorating some part of my home.
I like to pretend that I am good at crafting and often keep random objects ‘just in case’. My favourite place in my home is my office (handy as I spend a LOT of time in there!) which also doubles as my craft space so I am surrounded all day by my glittery knick-knacks (or ‘tut’ as my husband calls it!) I’m sure I was a magpie in another life!
I am very lucky that I have spent decades working in the Wedding Industry which I love. Having planned hundreds of weddings at some gorgeous venues, I soon realised the only part of the day we couldn’t personalise was the ceremony, in my opinion the most important part.
I became totally bored hearing the same script over and over; zero fun, zero romance and zero personality! I then witnessed a Celebrant ceremony and knew in that instant things were about to change for me. After some super-duper training and fuelled by hard work and passion, Bespoke Celebrant Ceremonies was created in 2015.
After several very busy years juggling both jobs I took the plunge and became a full-time Wedding Celebrant and I have never looked back! I am privileged to have been chosen by so many couples to be a part of their special day, receiving some great reviews and winning several fancy dancy awards along the way.
I love to get dressed up and go out, enjoy good music and even better company and I love to laugh. I’m a keen G&T sipper and am partial to a good cocktail, even comparing myself to a good mixology;
- One part spicy spirit
- One part creator
- One part traditionalist
- Add a pinch of joker and a dash of sass
- Topped up with lots of fizz
- Perfectly garnished with lots of humour and a fun zest for life!
Am I your perfect pairing?
“We knew we wanted to go with Nichola as we saw her perform the ceremony at our friends wedding and we loved her style instantly. Once we got in touch, the whole process was very easy.”

“Nichola captured our relationship and lives and told our story so beautifully.
All of our guests absolutely adored her, stating that it was the best ceremony they have ever experienced. We wish we could relive it all over again, you will always hold a special place in our hearts!”

“We wanted our ceremony to reflect our relationship and the happiness we have together. Nichola’s script definitely told our story, taking our interests and likes and added subtle touches to the service which reflected these. We loved being able to personalise the whole thing, everything said was relevant to us and was the perfect start to our wedding day. Thank you”
