Nothing but smiles and confidence as we begin the ceremony…and excitement!!

Your story is enough. Your story is so authentically you we should share a little snippet of it during your ceremony. Maybe you love the story of how you met, or you’ve got a great first date story or perhaps there’s no big marker on the story but it’s still your favorite day thus far - tell me about it, let me know what you love about your relationship so we can create the most beautiful ceremony for you.

Hi, I'm Nichole the one in the window. You'll see me often in downtown Holly for simple signings and all over for my intimate and full weddings. I Officiated my first wedding in 2007 and have been sharing the love ever since. I am married to my high school sweetheart and we have 2 boys and a pup. Officiating is my full-time gig and pulling on my many years of experience I can tell you with certainty there is not much you can ask of me that I can't do or learn quickly.

I am always happy to help any couple, got a question about your wedding ceremony feel free to message me, I'll help where I can!

Did you know that you should read poems? I said it. When we're writing your wedding ceremony I'll ask if there are any certain readings you would like to include and while no is perfectly acceptable...having a favorite poem or reading to share will allow me to really set the tone for the rest of the ceremony, it's a little peak inside your love.

What's your favorite reading/poem for a wedding? No really I could use some fresh ideas over here

11/30/2023

no one said you have to know how to do it all.

Take a deep breath. Lower your shoulders. Relax your jaw.

Now, ask questions, seek help, your vendors want nothing but the best for you.

When it comes to signing your marriage license, there are a few important factors to consider. Firstly, you have the option to sign with your new surname if you are planning to change it. Secondly, your witnesses must be at least 18 years old and capable of signing and printing in English. Lastly, it is crucial to have your officiant present at the signing to ensure that all the necessary steps are followed correctly. It is recommended to have them sit at the table with you to oversee the process and provide their approval on the marriage license.

A magical black wedding dress that is truly enchanting! 😍✨ she walked down the aisle in a dress that embodied elegance and mystery. This gorgeous gown captured everyone's attention with its intricate lace details and shimmering embellishments. The contrast of the black fabric against the radiant bride created a striking and unforgettable image. Say goodbye to traditional white and embrace the allure of the unknown. This magical dress was a symbol of their unique love story. ❤️

I kept seeing this beautiful greenhouse pop up in my feed, over and over. When I finally clicked on it I realized it was local! And then of course I’m thinking “can we do weddings here??” And then we connected. Valerie the owner of this magical place shared that she was going to marry here and I had the honor of officiating for her and Greg!

the plans were made and then a few weeks prior to the big day, I was in my drawing class at Mott Community College when I stumbled on the fact that Valerie’s daughter was my classmate!

The universe knows when to put people together -and this is a good match.

Congratulations to Valerie and Greg, I wish you all the happiness!

Standing with you on your wedding day, I have the best seat in the house. I can see your smiles and giggles, I can feel your emotion and I can also remind you to take a deep breath, to take in this grandeur.

Being your officiant is a big deal! We start the wedding celebrations off, we set the tone for your big day. It is not something I take lightly.

I love what I do and can’t wait to celebrate with you.

Now scooch closer, like you’re getting married-if you’ve stood with me you’ve been told this line. Before I start any ceremony I make sure you, the couple are standing close, that you’re picture perfect.

And then we begin. Hi, I’m Nichole, wedding officiant and owner of A Simple I Do. I’m the gal behind the binder, the one writing and reading love stories.

What’s your favorite part of your love story?

I will always advocate for hiring the best professional wedding vendors your budget can afford. Hiring professionals makes your wedding day so much more enjoyable for you, knowing you have trusted experts who can make your visions a reality - now that is where the magic happens .

Wedding vendor professionals are folks who have taken the time to develop their craft as their expertise, they know all aspects of it. For me, you can throw me into any wedding ceremony scenario and I will freaking rock it, that confidence comes from years of practicing my profession. It comes from doing 1,000's of wedding where all sorts of scenarios were thrown at me. It comes from educating myself so that I know I can serve my couples to the expert level they deserve.

I can't tell you the heartbreak I feel when a couple calls me because their friend or family member backed out last minute, the nerves got the better of them. Or the emails I get asking for help because a friend is performing the cermeony but no one knows how to write a ceremony . All of this is avoidable if you research and hire a pro within your budget for your amazing once in a lifetime wedding day.

On your wedding day I will take charge or walk beside your planner making sure your ceremony goes off without a hitch!
