About

Celebrant Atelier — by Nikki Kulin

I’m Nikki, the professional wedding celebrant behind Celebrant Atelier. Based in Hove, East Sussex, I craft premium, story-led ceremonies across the South of England and beyond—London, the Cotswolds, Sussex, Surrey—and regularly in Spain (Costa del Sol, Barcelona). Europe and further afield are always considered. Every ceremony is handwritten from a blank page to celebrate your story with elegance, wit, and heart.

What I Offer

  • Bespoke wedding ceremonies — entirely personalised, from intimate garden gatherings to chic city rooftops and sun-kissed beaches.

  • Vow renewals & milestone celebrations — marking chapters with meaning and beautiful pace.

  • Signature rituals — from classic symbolism to playful, tailor-made moments that reflect your culture, heritage, passions or inside jokes.

  • Vow support (Vow Atelier) — a proven, guided method to help you write vows you’re proud to speak aloud for the first time on the day.

The Celebrant Atelier Process

  1. Discovery — a relaxed call to explore vision, venue, and vibes.

  2. Deep-dive questionnaires + a private WhatsApp group to capture the gold—memories, mischief, and magic.

  3. Creative direction — inspiration for readings, rituals and ways to include family and guests.

  4. Handwritten script — crafted from scratch; refined with you until it feels unmistakably “us”.

  5. Delivery with poise — calm, polished officiation that sets the tone for the celebration to follow.

Style & Specialisms

  • Theatre-with-soul delivery: elegant, warm, and joyfully inclusive.

  • Multicultural, interfaith and non-religious ceremonies.

  • From Disney and Harry Potter to football, cricket and travel—tasteful nods to what you love, never gimmicks.

Why Celebrant Atelier

  • Five-star reputation and hundreds of heartfelt ceremonies.

  • Calm leadership on the day; nothing is too much trouble.

  • Freedom of place & time — sunrise to moonlight, back garden to mountain top (no skydiving… yet!).

Your ceremony should be the heart of your wedding day—setting the pace, the atmosphere, and the memories. When guests say, “We’ve never been to a ceremony like that,” I know we’ve created something truly yours.

Read the 5-star testimonials and book a discovery call to begin crafting your one-of-a-kind ceremony with Celebrant Atelier.

Reviews for Ceremonies by Nikki Kulin, Costa Celebrant

Heartfelt, personal, unforgettable

We feel so lucky to have had Nikki as our celebrant. From the very beginning, she made us feel seen, heard, and completely supported. The ceremony she tailored completely to mine and Tom’s story so far was deeply personal, heartfelt, and full of warmth — it felt like us in every way.

So many of our guests said it was the most beautiful and meaningful ceremony they’d ever witnessed. Nikki captured our relationship with care, humour, and real emotion, and guided us through the process with kindness and calm, even my indecisiveness….

If you’re looking for a celebrant who will truly listen and create something unique and unforgettable, we can’t recommend Nikki highly enough. The perfect day.

Our ceremony, our way... with some Nikki Magic!

It gives me great pleasure to review Nikki and her wonderful approach to creating your ceremony. From the initial meeting / video call, we instantly felt at ease with Nikki and we knew we were in good hands. She is kind, considerate and caring and this comes across in all your correspondence with her.

She takes time to get to know you both, to understand your story. Nikki uses her creativity and personality along with this important info to bring your ceremony to life!

With Covid, we had a number of postponements and cancellations... eventually moving our wedding from Spain back to Ireland. So imagine our delight when Nikki was able to travel to Cork to (finally!) officiate our ceremony. We were thrilled! This is another testament to Nikki's focus to provide you with a unique and outstanding experience.

The ceremony itself was filled with joy, laughter and a few tears. Not a dry eye in the house. All our guests shared they had never been to a ceremony like it - from the ring warming & the storytelling approach, to the individual surprise promises & vows... helping with our readings and supporting our music selection; even the layout of the top of the aisle so we could see our family and friends and not have our back to them... with these finer details we knew the day would be exactly how we wanted it. And it was all that and more.

If you want your ceremony your way, Nikki really delivers. Thank you Nikki for everything.
Mr & Mrs Lynch, Cork ❤

Perfect part of our special day

We would highly recommend Nikki for a beautiful and personal wedding ceremony.
We enjoyed working together with nikki to create the perfect ceremony from our first conversation with her. She expertly guided us whilst allowing us to make the ceremony what we wanted. With Nikki’s help we created very special vows and we were delighted with the final ceremony. Lots of our guests commented on how special the ceremony was. Nikki was so thoughtful and her warm personality comes through in everything she does. She was also an incredibly calm person to be around on the wedding day and helped everyone feel relaxed and at ease. We felt in very safe hands with her professional expertise. Thank you Nikki!

Glenn & Hayley, 2018

Nikki conducted our wedding cermeony two days ago and our friends are still talking about how lovely and personal our ceremony was. Nikki lead our ceremony with a mix of our personal stories, music choices, traditions, witt and sentiment to make it relevant and interesting for all our guests.

We appreciate everything from the rehearsal she drove so long to do, our ceremony, our gifts and all the hard work she put into making our ceremony so special to ourselves and our guests.

Michael and Cristina, 2019

Michael & I are so glad that we chose Nikki to be our Celebrant on our special day. Nikki helped us via Skype and she was so professional and sensitive and her attention to detail was great. Nikki captured our story, our vows and our meaning as a couple and family so beautifully with her wonderfully bespoke scripture and conducted our ceremony in a really emotional and heartfelt way to both us and our guests and the amazing Vincci setting. Thank you Nikki for being part of of our wonderful day! xx

Carmel and Barry, 2019

What an unforgettable experience it was to have you celebrate with us our wedding day. Especially the beautiful poem you wrote for Barry to our children. It was a beautiful moment and I know it touched Molly and Adam's hearts in a very special way. So thank you!

You gave us the opportunity to say the words that were in our hearts... and the sand ceremony was a lovely act of unity for us as a family coming together as one . Despite the wind and Finn's upset, you made us feel so at ease.

You are an absolute natural at what you do and I hope your future grows with you in celebrating many more wedding ceremonies to come.

Thank you so much again Nikki we both feel we were very fortunate to have met you!!!

Anna and John, 2019

Nikki gave us an excellent ceremony.

As an older couple we wanted a service that was non traditional and different. She gave us some great ideas and easily included our own requests. Nikki talked to us by phone and in person, we also corresponded a lot by Whatsapp and email in order to bring our ceremony together.

She is to be highly recommended.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
