Weddings with Nikhil the Celebrant

Each couple has their own unique story to tell and I believe every ceremony should be just as unique. Let me help tell your story!

About Me

Hi, I’m Nikhil. That's pronounced like 'Shaquille O'Neal' with an 'N'. People sometimes call me Shaq but that's way too fly of a nickname for me.

One day many years ago I realised that I was really happy when I was speaking, and was at my happiest when I spoke about something that mattered. 

Today I can say that it’s love and passion that drives me in my pursuit of being the best Celebrant. I’ve always loved speaking publicly and I finally get to channel it into something that makes a meaningful impact in couples’ lives. 

My full package includes:

  • Personalised and custom-drafted wedding ceremony

  • Unlimited support via phone, email, text messaging, snail mail, homing pigeons, and smoke signals

  • Assistance with all wedding-related paperwork and lodgement

  • Use of high-quality Bose S1 Pro PA system and professional-quality Sennheiser microphones for the ceremony

  • Advice on wedding-day run sheets

  • My best attempt to appear handsome for your Instagram 

So get in touch now and make my day!

why I became a celebrant

Back in 2011 I had the honour of being my brother’s best man. It was a beautiful Autumn day in Toronto. The caterers were catering, the photographers were photographing, the guests were…drinking.

Everything was going per the timeline almost to the minute–every couple’s dream!

Just before the ceremony was scheduled to start, my brother turns to me and asks me to let the celebrant know we are about 5 minutes away from ‘go-time’.

As the dutiful best man that I was, away I went in search of the celebrant. Only problem was–the celebrant didn’t show up!

  • We highly recommend Nikhil! He guided us through the whole process, from paperwork to the personalised vows and ceremony. I think everyone I spoke to at the wedding (and since then) mentioned how unique our ceremony was to us and that's because of the detail Nikhil went to in finding out about our story and various quirks. It also helped that he was always on hand if we had any questions and he took a lot of initiative in organising meetings and rehearsals. We're both quite introverted and tend to stress a bit, so Nikhil's attention to detail and down to earth personality really put us at ease and gave us confidence that it would all go to plan.. which it did! Thanks very much Nikhil :)

  • I couldn't recommend Nikhil enough! He was so easy to talk to and earned our trust instantly. He kept both of us feeling calm and relaxed throughout the whole process and was always available for any questions at any time. Nikhil is highly professional and made our day so special. Thank you!

    Bridget C.

  • Nikhil was great to have as a Celebrant, I still can't get over how well spoken he is! He captured our love story perfectly and ran our ceremony beautifully.

    Catherine N.

  • Thank you so much Nikhil for our beautiful and amazing ceremony. You helped to make sure our ceremony was personalised and really captured our love for one another. Everyone has commented on how amazing you were as our celebrant, you helped to make our ceremony so memorable and special!!

  • Nikhil stepped in last minute when our celebrant couldn’t make it. We hadn’t even met before we got to the venue for the ceremony but he was fantastic, very professional and everyone said they couldn’t tell he didn’t know us because he was so warm, emotive and genuinely seemed happy to be marrying us. Thanks again!

  • We couldn’t be happier with the experience. Nikhil talked us through every step of the way and delivered the most beautiful ceremony. Every guest made a comment about how good the celebrant was. The ceremony was catered specifically to our needs and was perfect.

  • Nikhil was an amazing celebrant who we would highly recommend. Nikhil guided us through the whole process and was very prompt with all communication. Our wedding plans were thrown a curve ball with COVID and Nikhil couldn’t have been more helpful or accomodating. Highly recommend Nikhil as a celebrant.

  • Nikhil was incredible. He was professional and made the process leading up to the ceremony easy and stress free. He guided us through what to expect and helped us with ideas so we could make sure our ceremony was what we wanted. We had an outside ceremony and his PA gear was really high quality and even handled the wind. Nikhil has a fun, relaxed nature made us feel at ease. He is charismatic, has a perfectly polite Canadian accent and was the consummate professional. Thanks again Nikhil.

  • After watching Nikhil do an incredible job at my brother’s wedding, my husband and I didn’t have to look any further when it came time for our wedding. Nikhil is so warm, professional and kind, we really enjoyed our journey preparing for the big day and he delivered an unforgettable ceremony. Highly recommend!

  • Hi Nikhil - just wanted to say a big thank you for being our celebrant! You told our story perfectly! So many people came up to us on the night and said what a great job you did! It was truly a magnificent day - and we appreciate you for being such a big part of it!!
