Nellie-Knot Officiant

I originally became an ordained minister because I felt deeply drawn to being part of one of the most meaningful moments in people’s lives. I’ve always loved weddings — planning them, celebrating them, and witnessing the emotion behind them — but I realized the ceremony itself is what truly anchors the day.

I’m originally from Athens, Georgia, where I developed a deep appreciation for Southern hospitality, meaningful traditions, and community-centered celebrations. Today, I’m proud to call Middle Tennessee home. Living here has allowed me to serve couples throughout Nashville and the surrounding areas while bringing that same warmth, intention, and refined Southern charm to every ceremony I officiate.

My hope is to serve couples in a way that feels both meaningful and intentional. It allows me to formally step into the role of guiding one of the most significant moments of their lives — not just legally, but emotionally and spiritually as well.

What truly sets Nellie & Knot apart is our unwavering belief that your ceremony is not just a formality—it is the very foundation of your entire wedding day. While many rely on standard scripts, we craft every word intentionally, structure every transition thoughtfully, and deliver a tone that is balanced, emotional, and refined. Beyond the writing, our professionalism and graceful presence ensure a seamless experience, adapting effortlessly to any unexpected shifts.

As a minister, my role goes beyond officiating — it’s about honoring the commitment you’re making with intention and reverence. Whether your ceremony is faith-centered, spiritual, or more modern in tone, I approach it with care, professionalism, and deep respect for the promises being made. I also guide you through the legal and logistical details so you feel fully prepared and present. Your marriage deserves a beginning that feels meaningful, steady, and beautifully intentional.
