Nicole Penning Civil Celebrant

Nicole was an absolute dream to work with. Her personality is so vibrant, bubbly and warm and talking to her felt like interacting with a friend!
She made a great first impression with her introductory e-mail that was very informative. She was also very willing to travel to our home to meet which was very convenient for us. When it came to requiring assistance with creating our ceremony and writing our vows, Nicole was highly responsive and made many suggestions on how we could make the ceremony more personable.

We appreciated the option of being able to rehearse our ceremony, especially in both of our potential ceremony locations as it alleviated stress. Our ceremony was exactly how we pictured and everyone commented on how beautiful our ceremony was. After the conclusion of our ceremony, Nicole assisted our photographer in co-ordinating our family photos. We really appreciated the small gift, the commemorative wedding certificate and the bag of goodies.

Overall, Nicole was extremely organised and is very passionate about her profession. We feel absolutely honoured to be her 600th ceremony and we would highly recommend her!

We feel so incredibly lucky to have had Nicole as our celebrant on our wedding day. She is the calm, caring soul that every bride and groom needs not only on their big day but also in the months/weeks/days leading up to the wedding.

Right from the beginning Nicole made the process so easy for us – whilst still ensuring we had the most perfect, unique ceremony. We will be forever grateful for the amazing memories we have of our day and it’s all thanks to the hard work Nicole put in behind the scenes to ensure it was completely personalised to “us”!

Thank you for everything Nicole – you are a truly wonderful at what you do:)

Nicole was absolutely amazing! She was so supportive and well organised. She even helped with arranging Family photos for us (which is not an easy task). She made sure we knew exactly what to do on the day and with her calm nature, it made us feel very relaxed on our wedding day. We couldn't thank Nicole more and I would highly recommend her to everyone!

Nicole was absolutely lovely throughout the entire ceremony planning process, offering many helpful tips and insights into how you can tailor the ceremony to feel very personable. She is the perfect mix of fun and professionalism, and presented an outstanging ceremony on the day. Maddi and I can't thank you enough.

Will never be able to thank Nicole more for the incredible work she provided for our wedding day. Everything was so personal, we had such a wonderful connection with her and she made our ceremony one for us, leaving not a dry eye in the crowd. Thank you, thank you, thank you Nicole!

Right from the time we first made contact with Nicole we knew she was exactly the person we wanted for our ceremony! She made everything effortless, she was warm and friendly and we felt as though we had known her for years. Our ceremony was always intended to be a small, intimate event, a surprise under the guise of a ‘housewarming’ and that was exactly what it was, it was absolutely wonderful. Nicole went above and beyond for us, she truly was a huge part of our day, and we cannot thank her enough for making our vision a reality. ️

Nicole was an absolute gem! We could not have found a better celebrant to help us celebrate our big day. She was super organised, supportive and fun - and our guests all said they thought the ceremony was just so lovely; we couldn’t agree more. If you’re looking for a celebrant - look no further!

Nicole made our day in May just how we imagined it.

Nicole is an absolutely fantastic celebrant! Me and my new hubby absolutely loved working with her and could not have asked for a better ceremony! Her process is so easy and straightforward and really got us to reminisce about our time together as a couple. The ceremony was a perfect blend of the necessities and our story and absolutely all of our guests loved it! There were so many compliments from guests on what a perfect ceremony it was!

When picking our wedding vendors the strategy was to pick the cream of the crop and let them do what they are trained to do. Nicole did not disappoint. From the every first text message to let her know I was engaged until the moments after the ceremony Nicole was the ultimate professional. After working in the industry for many years I have seen many many celebrates many of who are fabulous BUT Nicole is the best of the best. If you are reading this review and are considering her services do yourself a favor and simply book her in now!
5 star service all the way.

As a personal transport provider we have regularly seen first hand the excellent job Nicole does for her clients from the very first day they meet with her through to the wedding itself. She does a fantastic job and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a celebrant.

Nicole is amazing! I couldn't recommend her highly enough. She is so incredibly genuine and made every moment of the process and the ceremony an absolute dream.
From the moment we met Nicole we knew she was the right person to conduct our ceremony, every moment was so easy and stress free.
She is absolutely made for this job, her personality, kindness and energy. All our family and the guests said how genuine and personal the ceremony was and we couldn't have asked for anything more.
Nicole is the absolute best!

Couldn’t of picked a better person to share our special day with. Thank you for loving our love story as much as we do and shedding as many tears as we did. Nicole was amazing and made sure there was no stress for the both of us.
Definitely the best in the business.

I knew she was the celebrant for us as soon as we met and I saw her spreadsheets. Absolutely loved Nicole from start to finish. She was so organised and created the most amazing ceremony for our day

Nicole was fantastic! She was so thorough in her preparation that there was nothing that wasn’t considered. The amount of detail she went to in giving us information to consider was mind blowing. But it made it so much easier for us to tailor the ceremony to our wishes.

Her passion for what she does is obvious and on the day her professionalism and love for the job made our day so enjoyable, while easing the butterflies we both had!

Can’t recommend her enough!
