Your wedding ceremony done your way

How to Host Your Wedding Ceremony Your Way (Because That’s the Only Way That Matters)
Let’s be honest—there are a lot of opinions out there when it comes to weddings. Your cousin wants a big ballroom bash, your mom thinks you need a flower wall, and your coworker swears you have to walk down the aisle to “Canon in D.” But here’s the thing: your wedding ceremony? It should feel like you.
That’s where I come in—Nichole Bertucci, a Michigan-based wedding officiant who specializes in doing things a little differently. Whether you’re dreaming of a small intimate ceremony in Michigan or just want something that doesn’t feel cookie-cutter, I’ve got you.
So… how do you host your ceremony your way?1. Keep it small if you want.
Not into big crowds and dramatic entrances? A small intimate ceremony in Michigan might be exactly what your heart needs. Picture this: a quiet park, a cozy studio, or even your backyard with just your favorite people and your love story front and center. No pressure, no stress—just the good stuff.
2. Choose a ceremony location that feels right.
Michigan is full of beautiful little nooks perfect for eloping or keeping things simple and sweet. From local parks to private indoor spaces (yes, I’ve got some great ones I work with), there’s a place for every vibe.
3. Personalize the words.
With officiant Nichole Bertucci (that’s me!), your ceremony is never pulled from a dusty book. I write each one with you two in mind—your personalities, your love story, your little quirks. Want to include your dog? Let’s do it. Want to skip the ring exchange? Totally fine. You call the shots.
4. Ditch the rules.
No bouquet toss? Cool. No aisle walk? Great. Want to say your vows over a cup of coffee and some donuts? Honestly, that sounds perfect. When you work with me, we do what feels good for you.
At the end of the day, your wedding ceremony should be a reflection of the love you share—not a checklist someone else wrote. So whether you’re planning an elopement, a cozy gathering, or something in between, I’m here to help you make it meaningful, fun, and 100% you.
Let’s create a moment that feels just right.
