NENA GILMORE

If someone told me ten years ago that the future would find me officiating weddings, I would have raised an eyebrow and laughed it off. Ok, I wouldn’t have raised one eyebrow, but only because I actually can’t do that. BUT it would be what I would picture my face to look like as I raised both brows simultaneously.

​

I digress… the point being that, even though I have always been a talented writer and a clever public speaker, the thought to actually officiate weddings just never occurred to me.

​

It really all started when my brother and his fiancé asked me to perform their ceremony for them. I surprised myself by, not only accepting immediately, but also doing so with significant enthusiasm. I wrote a completely original script for them and found myself really enjoying the process. I didn’t know it at the time, but by the time the ceremony was over, my life would never be the same.

​

Other vendors were requesting my card, as if I were a professional that got paid to do this! I couldn’t believe it. But, after that day was over, I could tell that my reality was about to change. And boy, did it! I had booked my first paying wedding within a couple of weeks and everything took off from there.

​

Now, here I am, actually getting the opportunity to it again and again. I have now even won an award and been profiled in a local online publication! The entire process brings me such joy that I cannot believe that I have not been doing it longer! Whether a quickie elopement or presiding over a fully customized ceremony for 200+ guests, it is my absolute pleasure to provide exactly what you are looking for!

​

I hold a strong belief that all love is worthy of the celebration of marriage. There is little more beautiful than two people who are making a conscious choice to commit their lives to one another, any two people. Sexuality, gender identity, religion, skin color and socio-economic status are inconsequential when two hearts fall in love with one another. I delight in uniting ALL couples!

​

I look forward to speaking with you about how I can bring life to your dreams… at the end of the aisle!
