“Nanette McIntyre is more than a wedding officiant, her talent and presence is a true gift. Nanette guided us through the process of creating a ceremony that was authentic to who we are as a couple. All of our guests were convinced that she was a long time friend of ours, I feel like that is the highest compliment for an officiant. I would highly recommend her.”
Your Ceremony is the Heart of Your WeddinG.
Ceremonies by Nanette creates and officiates beautifully designed Santa Barbara elopements and small intimate weddings. Whether you live locally or are traveling from another part of the country or world, we will collaborate to ensure your wedding ceremony is exactly as you imagine it. As a wedding officiant who celebrates love and the many forms it takes in a lifetime, I embrace diversity and creativity. The modern, meaningful, and personalized wedding ceremony that we create together will reflect your style, traditions, and love. The ceremonies are designed and delivered so that you and your guests will remember the sweetness of the moment long after your ceremony has ended.
AS YOUR WEDDING OFFICIANT, I WILL SUPPORT YOU.
The process of creating your wedding ceremony will be streamlined, smooth, and mostly navigated via email.
You will have the option of choosing between two ceremony styles, one of which requires that you answer questions about your love journey. As your marriage officiant, I use the information you share with me to write your love story and craft your wedding ceremony.
At your request, I will research additional elements taken from a variety of wedding traditions which you may want to include in the ceremony. Your wedding ceremony may be short and sweet or it may be longer to include readings, songs or other ceremony elements.
As a Certified Life-Cycle Celebrant®, I am trained through the Celebrant Foundation & Institute and have access to a wealth of information and resources. I will use these resources to create a ceremony that represents your needs, beliefs, and personality.
Writing personal wedding vows can be a source of stress. As your wedding officiant, I provide you with Wedding Vow Tips to help you write your personalized wedding vows. I will also write them for you to repeat after me, if you prefer.
Your wedding ceremony will be beautifully written and delivered. It will joyfully honor the moment in which you and your guests have gathered to celebrate your love.
During your ceremony, I may remind you to relax into the moment. Often just the simple reminder to “breathe” is all it takes! My goal is to help you be fully present with each other and with your gathered guests.
As your marriage officiant, I am pleased to attend and coordinate your wedding ceremony rehearsal. As a member of your wedding team, I work with other wedding professionals to help tend to any ceremony management details to ensure your wedding day is flawless!
I will facilitate the signing of your marriage license and submit it to the state for recording.
