About Nicole Penning Civil Celebrant
Nicole Penning is a civil celebrant based in Bannockburn who has been writing and delivering ceremonies for close to 20 years. She describes herself as a people person, and her process is built on getting to know each couple well enough that guests assume she has been a friend for years. Her wedding ceremonies are written from scratch around the couple's story and values. She is happy to challenge traditions or to honour them, depending on what the couple wants, and her scripts mix polish with humour and a little cheek. Alongside weddings she conducts renewals of vows for couples marking the years since they first said I do, and commitment ceremonies for those who want a personal celebration of their bond. The lead-up is hands-on. Nicole keeps in touch by email, phone, text and Zoom, and couples can start with a catch-up over coffee, hot chocolate or a glass of wine. She takes care of the legal side so the couple can concentrate on the content of the day, and she is known for going the extra mile on detail. Nicole has also written and published her own celebrancy books, including a collection of wedding vows designed to help couples express what they want to say. Her base is in Bannockburn, and she is always happy to travel to the ceremony location.
