Nilou was hands down the most amazing member of our wedding team. From our first phone call with her, we knew immediately that we wanted her to be a part of our wedding ceremony. Her warmth and kindness are palpable even through a video call, and her commitment to honoring the beauty and history of the Persian wedding ceremony is apparent from the very first interaction. She seamlessly blended Farsi and English for our 50/50 American/Iranian crowd, and even those who have never seen a Persian ceremony before were able to understand and appreciate each tradition and symbol used throughout the ceremony. We have heard from all of our guests that it was the most beautiful ceremony they have ever seen, and this was entirely due to Nilou's professionalism, warm demeanor, and passion for her work. We were so thrilled with the way Nilou's ceremony blended together our two cultures and made for the perfect start to our families joining together. Thank you Nilou!! read more

We had such a great experience working with Nilou! From the beginning, she made everything feel easy and thoughtful. Our wedding was multicultural, and she came to our conversations with ideas and suggestions on how to weave our cultures together in a way that felt authentic and meaningful to us. She really listened, took the time to get to know us, and crafted a ceremony that felt grounded, personal, and full of heart. On the wedding day, she brought such a calm, warm energy to the ceremony. Even as things got a little hectic and we ended up running behind schedule, Nilou stayed calm, collected, and kept everything on track without ever making us feel rushed. Multiple guests came up to us afterward asking if she was a friend -- that's how naturally and beautifully she fit into the day. We're so grateful to have found her. If you're looking for someone kind, grounded, and really good at what she does, Nilou is it! read more

Nilou did such an incredible job officiating our wedding, and we are so pleased that we brought her on board for our celebration. Not only was she thoughtful, detailed, and incredibly heartfelt in what she prepared for us, but she also delivered a level of professionalism and "performance" that was truly one of a kind. Nilou perfectly executed the blend of Western and Persian traditions in a way that left our guests in awe (and also sobbing tears of joy!). We could not be happier that we picked Nilou to be our officiant. We'll be recommending her to all of our friends and family - she is truly best in class and you will not recommend bringing her on. read more

I was lucky enough to know how wonderful of an officiant Nilou is, years before my own wedding. She was my sister's officiant 6 years ago, and I knew that day that when my time came to tie the knot, I wanted her there. I speak for myself and my husband when I say that Nilou completely captivates you with her poetic words and her genuine warmth.. and I speak for our guests as well when I say that. Our wedding was Iranian/American, and Nilou was able to speak to the hearts of both Farsi and English speakers. From the moment we reached out to her about being our officiant, we received nothing but warmth and a genuine interest in us and the things that are the most important to us. Just in our first zoom call, she so easily absorbed the things that matter the most to us, and the things that make us who we are both as individuals and a unit. And on the wedding day she brought it all to life with her beautiful and powerful way of speaking, and shared those precious things with everyone that we love. Nilou's attention to detail is another thing that blew me and my husband away. From coordinating the rehearsal to asking what color of dresses my bridesmaids were wearing and the colors of the wedding so she can coordinate her outfit (which I've learned are always immaculate). I could go on, but I'll leave it with this. My husband and I could never have imagined a better officiant for what turned out to be the greatest day of our lives, and Nilou was such an important part of that. read more

We absolutely loved having Nilou as our wedding officiant! Our wedding was a celebration of cultures merging. Nilou seamlessly blended both Persian and Western traditions. Speaking fluently in both Farsi and English, she made sure that all our guests, regardless of their background, felt included. It was so special to have the ceremony conducted in two languages, especially for our Persian family and friends who truly appreciated the cultural connection. We included many traditional Persian elements like the sofreh aghd, the sugar rubbing ceremony, the sharing of honey, and plenty of Persian poetry. Nilou beautifully explained everything so that all of our guests could understand and appreciate the deep meaning and symbolism. It was incredible to see our Persian guests so moved by how much their culture was celebrated. Our non-Persian guests were equally impressed as everything was thoughtfully shared in a way that made them feel included and part of the experience. After the Persian part of the ceremony we transitioned to a short segment for Western traditions. It bridged the gap between cultures so beautifully and we received so many compliments on how well it was done. Nilou did such a wonderful job and gave us the most memorable, meaningful, and inclusive ceremony we could have imagined. She brought both love and expertise to every part of the event, ensuring that it was a celebration of both our cultures. We are so grateful to Nilou and can't recommend her enough!!! read more

I have only attended six or seven weddings in my life, so when it came time to plan my own, figuring out the logistics of the ceremony, vows, cultural traditions, etc caused me a great deal of anxiety. Enter Nilou: one of the kindest, coolest, and most put-together people you've ever met. And even probably more importantly, she exudes calmness, which is exactly the type of energy you want when planning one of the most stressful events of your life. Nilou worked hard to give us the ceremony of our dreams, one that we didn't actually know we wanted but absolutely needed. Her extensive experience in the wedding industry meant that she could give us insight into what people usually do and what normally works, but she was also willing to mix things up and create a ceremony that was tailored to our unique vision. Nilou was also familiar with our venue and vendors, having worked with so many others in the industry before, so she communicated seamlessly with our DJ, wedding coordinator, photographer, and venue staff to make sure everything went smoothly the day of. As a result, we ended up with the most perfect ceremony we could have ever imagined. I've always kind of written off the ceremony part of weddings, not being much of a mushy romantic myself, but after our own wedding, I realized that the reason why I've experienced some very unmemorable ceremonies, was because they weren't officiated well. It has been a month since our wedding and we're still getting text messages and phone calls from guests saying that our ceremony was one of the best ceremonies they'd ever seen. And I know it wasn't because of our profound vows or anything, it's because Nilou put together a ceremony that was both touching and entertaining, meaning that our guests (and us) experienced tears, laughter, cultural education, hope, and love all within a 20 min ceremony. That takes a skill not everyone possesses. I'm so incredibly grateful for everything Nilou did to make our wedding memorable and special, and I could not recommend her more. read more

We are so happy we found Nilou!! She made our ceremony dreams come true. My husband is Persian and we wanted to incorporate both Persian and traditional ceremony elements. With the guidance and expertise of Nilou our ceremony was even better then we could have imagined. Nilou met with us virtually three times before our wedding in Mexico. She guided us the whole way on various ceremony elements and how the ceremony would take place. She provided various options and incorporated all the elements of a Persian/traditional wedding. With both Persian and non Persian attendees Nilou translated the wedding in Farsi and English, explained many aspects of the ceremony to our guests and made us feel relaxed, comfortable and excited throughout the ceremony! We highly recommend Nilou! Our wedding would not have been the same without her! All of our guests told us how wonder she was and how amazing the ceremony was! read more

There are not enough words to express our gratitude to having Nilou officiate our wedding! From her calm and patient demeanor to her utter professionalism throughout the entire process - and especially the day of our wedding - she was the perfect person to lead our wedding ceremony and ensure that both our cultures were represented. She respected every edit and ask we had and was even helping with decor and last-minute needs . She was truly a highlight of our wedding and nearly every one of our guests approached us to remark on how great she was! We are forever grateful that she was there on our big day and would recommend her a million times over to anyone who may be looking! She has now officiated nearly every one of our friends' weddings in our group because of how amazing she is and how special she treats every wedding! She really pours her heart and soul into it and it shows! Thank you Nilou joon for making our day so special!! read more

What a beautiful ceremony it was, and it's all thanks to our lovely officiant Nilou. From the moment we met her we knew she was going to be one of our favorite guests at our ceremony. Nilou is very organized, detailed, and super sweet. We talked about three times before the wedding and we never stressed about the ceremony, because we knew she would guide us through the process. I'm mexican and my husband is iranian, and she knew exactly how to tie our different traditions together. The ceremony was absolutely perfect and everyone raved about how amazing Nilou was, and to add, very elegant. We loved that she was able to keep everyone's attention throughout our 35 minute ceremony. I would not change a things. If you are searching for a officiant don't look any further, because Nilou will help you with your dream ceremony. I can't thank her enough!! read more

We were so happy to choose Niloufar as our officiant for our wedding. She loves what she does and you can truly see it in her work. We had both Persian and non Persian folks at our Persian wedding and she did a perfect job at explaining the symbolism behind the sofreh and in both Farsi and English so that everyone could understand. The ceremony was also in English and Farsi. She also dresses up to the theme of your wedding so everything matches and looks so good! And when I say dress up, I mean she goes all out and super classy. She was also the officiant for my sisters wedding and sister-in-law too! I felt so comfortable with her and knew it would go well. Thank you for making our day so special! read more

My husband and I recently got married in September, and Nilou literally made the wedding of our dreams become a reality! We engaged Nilou for her full wedding planning and coordination services and began working with her two years ago. From the very beginning and throughout the entire process, she was organized, thoughtful, patient, thorough, and a pure pleasure to work with. She listened to our goals and visions and kept us on track so that we were making progress as we were getting closer to the special day. Over the two years we worked with Nilou, we were in close communication via meetings (in-person and virtual) and via email. She was always prepared, guided us through thoughtful options and recommendations, and put care and attention to making everything literally perfect. Our wedding day was flawlessly executed without any hitches--nothing fell through the cracks--and it came together beautifully. The details, ambiance, and creativity were impeccable. All our vendors knew where to be and when. As a Persian bride, it was also important that my culture play a prominent part in the day, and Nilou crafted such an elegant and meaningful Persian-American wedding for us. My husband and I didn't have to worry about a single thing and got to be fully present on our wedding day because Nilou had everything covered. Our guests also had the time of their lives, and we received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback from them about how memorable the night was. We are forever thankful for Nilou's expertise, skills, and guidance. She made the entire planning process an enjoyable experience for us. She was by far the BEST decision we made for our wedding. We could not recommend her enough. Thank you for everything, Nilou!! read more

Nilou was amazing! She not only went above and beyond, she literally saved our wedding. It's because of Nilou that my wife and I had the most wonderful day of our lives (so far :)) She really shows that she cares deeply for her clients and takes as much stress off of the shoulders of the wedding couple as humanly possible. read more

I was looking for a wedding officiant for our tiny wedding during COVID, and when looking through yelp profiles I came across Nilou's and remembered that I actually had seen her in a friend's wedding 1-2 yrs ago and was impressed with her style, grace, and professionalism. I contacted her and luckily she was available for our wedding date.  We were so grateful for Nilou's level of enthusiasm, professionalism, and kindness in planning and executing our ceremony. She facetimed with us and asked our story and even kindly offered to set up a small Persian wedding ceremony table for us. She asked me detailed questions about my taste, the color of flowers, and my dress and my friends dress and came up with the nicest table suiting our small wedding. She was so attentive during our wedding and even did a bit of unofficial wedding planning, and helped us with details of stuff during our ceremony making sure everything was beautiful and perfect. She herself also has a great style and dresses super nice and classy which is a huge plus for wedding pictures! Overall she was an excellent choice for our wedding. We are planning to have a big wedding after corona is hopefully over and we will DEFINITELY ask her to be our wedding officiant for our second wedding as well. Thank you, Nilou!! read more

Nilou did a phenomenal job for our mixed Persian/Western wedding. We utilized her full service planning package, and she officiated our wedding and designed the sofreh as well. Nilou is incredibly organized, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the nuances of wedding logistics. She ensures that there is a proper flow between vendors and that venues are accommodating in regards to the cultural aspects of Persian weddings. The sofreh was absolutely gorgeous, and the ceremony was perfect. We got so many positive comments about the ceremony, with many guests who did not know Nilou saying they thought she was a family member of mine because of how much care she put into officiating. We would highly recommend Nilou, both for her planning and her officiating services. read more

Nilou Weddings - Officiants Near Me

My wife and I come from Hindu and Pakistani backgrounds, and our vision was to have a neutral wedding ceremony with minimal religious rituals. We searched high and low for an officiant in the Bay Area who could perform an interfaith ceremony, and couldn't have found a more perfect fit than Nilou. Right from the consultation, we felt a strong connection with her because she wanted to get to know us and our love story first, which was a more personal touch than the priests we talked to. Being very familiar with both our cultures, she was able to provide recommendations on the overall flow of the ceremony and custom tailor all the nuanced details to what we felt was right. Not only that, but on the day of the event she spoke so beautifully in her calming and poetic voice, and even wore a traditional desi style outfit that made our neutral ceremony still feel cultural. After the event, several close family members told us that they were truly moved by the ceremony and that our officiant in particular did a fantastic job. We'd have to wholeheartedly agree with that assessment, and would highly recommend Nilou to anyone seeking an officiant who can beautifully weave together diverse cultural traditions to create a ceremony that is truly unique and personal. read more

She is the best officiant you can ever find. I give her 7 stars. Nilou has very delightful personality, she brought grace, love and happiness to our special day. she acted as wedding planner and organization of the settings, guests and time table the best way possible.

Nilou performed our civil ceremony in May. I had seen her at a few friends' wedding before and I already like her a lot. She has a nice voice and is very good at reading poetry. Although I had seen her work before, it did not feel repetitive. She makes the ceremony feel personal and tailored to the couple. I highly recommend her. And the cherry on top: she is always very well dressed. She asked me what is the theme before the wedding and confirmed with me what she would wear. read more

Nilou Weddings - Officiants Near Me

We had the pleasure of meeting Nilou joon at our friend's wedding last year and immediately fell in love with her elegance, style and speech. My husband is American, and while he has attended a lot of Persian weddings, he shared with me that this wedding ceremony was the most engaging, and he'd hire Nilou as our wedding ceremony officiant whenever we began wedding planning. Coincidentally, we got engaged exactly a week later and immediately hired her as there was no second thought! We found her to be incredibly professional, thoughtful and kind. We enjoyed our meetings with her and appreciated that she took the time to get to know us and include facts about us in her ceremony script. She was also very considerate, highlighting angles, poses and stances to ensure our pictures came out well throughout the ceremony. She was timely and quickly mailed in our wedding license - we have heard horror stories about officiants who fail to do this! Of most importance to us, Nilou led a beautiful ceremony, with the perfect amount of Persian/English, poetry and eloquence, which captivated our guests. They continue to rave about our ceremony and how they could listen to Nilou for hours. We are so appreciative of Nilou and could not have hired anyone better for the most important portion of our wedding day. Thank you so much Nilou joon! read more

Simply put: Nilou made our wedding fantastic. Having a mixed Persian/American wedding posed certain challenges for me and my spouse. Based on word of mouth, I knew our only choice for an officiant was Nilou. Our wedding guests were 50/50 Iranian and American, and literally EVERY SINGLE PERSON, young and old, Irooni and American, raved out our ceremony-- how fun, light and joyful it was. As a pretty low-key bride, I only had one or two check-ins with Nilou and somehow she managed to capture our personalities and facilitate an amazing ceremony. Certainly not an inexpensive option, but truly worth every penny. Thank you, Nilou jan, for everything! We will cherish the memories forever. read more

Merci, Nilou. read more

We had the honor and privilege of having Nilou as our officiant. From just two phone conversations, she was able to write the most beautiful ceremony for us. It was so fitting to us that our friends and family actually thought we had known her for a long time. They were surprised to learn that we had just found her on yelp. During our initial conversation she asked us what we were wearing which I thought was unusual at the time but didn't give it a second thought after. The day of the wedding, she showed up looking stunning in a sari---perfect for our Indian fusion wedding. When I mentioned some of the Indian customs we were thinking of incorporating but weren't sure about the convenience she quickly assured us not to worry because she would make everything possible and convenient. She paid attention to so many details! Even making sure we were centered for the photographer before we started! I wish everyone will be lucky enough to have her! read more

Wow! I don't know that any amount of words will ever even come close to describing the amazing and magical experience with Nilou as our wedding officiant. We were fortunate enough to witness Nilou officiate a few weddings prior to our own engagement and our first impressions of her professionalism, poise and knowledge really solidified our desire to have her marry us. Once we were engaged it wasn't even a question that we would work to plan our wedding day with her availability in mind. As we began the search for a venue, with both of our unique style preferences, we maintained close contact with Nilou to ensure her availability. Nilou is a quick and thorough communicator which is every bride's dream in anyone/everyone they work with. With a mixed wedding (Persian/American) and the decision to have an Aghd ceremony Nilou structured our ceremony in the most elegant and welcoming way for all guests to truly understand the Persian symbolisms and our union on our wedding day. Nilou made very thoughtful suggestions on how we can integrate the two cultures; we loved every single one of her suggestions. Our guests raved about Nilou and how beautiful, joyous and meaningful the ceremony was. Some friends even cited they wanted an aghd for their future weddings :). Nilou takes her time to get to know you, your family, backgrounds and your relationship to deliver a ceremony that you wouldn't even be able to dream of on your own - she is THAT amazing! Nilou takes every little detail into consideration (including her own attire!) and for this we will be forever grateful for her on the happiest day of our lives. Thank you so much Nilou joon, you are truly incredible. Robbie and I are so thankful for you! read more

We initially reached out to Nilou, after seeing some of her work on social media, to officiate our Persian-American wedding in San Francisco. What caught our attention was not only her eloquence, in both Farsi and English, but also her wonderful style that evokes a sense of class without the stodginess that can sometimes accompany it. She met with us once before the wedding just to get to know our unique story and to determine an outline of the ceremony. She took these details and tastefully incorporated some of the anecdotes into the ceremony. Beyond that, she masterfully navigated the balance between Persian and American ceremonial rites. During the Farsi presentation, she provided the appropriate context for the non-Farsi-speaking attendees. The flow of the ceremony was natural and we received many positive comments from our guests who had not experienced similar weddings in the past, as well as the Persian crowd. She is truly unique in her expertise, and we will be enthusiastically recommending her to our friends in the future. read more

Nilou was our officiant for our wedding. We had a Persian ceremony. My husband is Iranian and I am Indonesian and she was able to include elements of both of our cultures in our ceremony. For our guests, it was the first time many of them witnessed a Persian ceremony. Nilou did a great job explaining all the different symbols on the sofreh. After the ceremony so many of my guests came up to tell me how much they loved Nilou and enjoyed the ceremony she delivered. She is super professional, organized, and quick to get back with any questions you may have. Without a doubt I would recommend you book Nilou to officiate your wedding ! read more

Nilou was absolutely amazing to work with. I loved how she got to know us and made the ceremony feel really personal! One of our guests was also very excited to see her because she was the minister for her daughter's wedding and spoke very highly of her.

Nilou was a fantastic partner to bring our wedding ceremony to life. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, our love story, and what makes our relationship special. She asked us thoughtful questions about how we wanted our ceremony to be--we wanted both a traditional Iranian ceremony as well as traditional vows--and Nilou did a beautiful job merging both together for us. Nilou's commitment to making her clients happy on their wedding day really shows through her dedication, passion and thoughtful approach. All of our guests really enjoyed the ceremony and learning more about the sofreh and had nothing short of great things to say about Nilou. It truly was a dream working with Nilou and I am so happy for having her officiate our wedding!!! read more

What an honor it was to have Nilou as our officiant for our special day. It was the best decision I made to have her officiate our marriage. She was so easy to work with and was always available to answer my emails and messages. The entire ceremony process was seamless. Nilou was such a huge support for us during the entire postponement of our wedding from 2020 to 2021 and change of venues that were in two different states. I'm so glad I had her design our Sofreh because she literally designed a Sofreh out of a fairytale storybook. It was a dream come true! Her style is glamorous, classic and timeless from the way she speaks, dresses and designs it's all represented with her style. Many of our friends and family complimented us on our ceremony. She has a beautiful way of making a unique ceremony designed for each couple, very personalized, romantic and adding every component that is special to the couple. Her beautiful voice set the tone for our entire wedding. I can't thank her enough for everything she did for us and for being such a huge part of our special day! read more

This is my first Yelp review (ever!) and I'm so grateful to be able to write it about Nilou. She officiated our San Francisco City Hall wedding in September and was mind-blowingly FANTASTIC. From the start, she took great detail into getting to know us: our hobbies, relationship and what's important to us in a ceremony. Being a writer, literature and poetry are a huge part of my life--Nilou seamlessly incorporated that into the ceremony to make it one of a kind. We're also not very religious but wanted to add some sort of tradition into the ceremony. She had the brilliant idea of a ring warming (where the couple passes the rings amongst the guests and they bless them with well wishes and good thoughts). It was PERFECT! Also Nilou is probably the most fashionable woman I have ever met in my life. She has the most amazing hats, one of which she wore to our ceremony. All of our guests were in awe and admiration of her professionalism, storytelling abilities and style! I highly recommend her whether you're getting married or renewing your vows. She made our day special and memorable. read more

Our wedding was just this past weekend and I have to write before I forget the details! Nilou was amazing from the start. Quick to respond and easy going. Our first meeting was through Skype and we knew she was the one we'd like to have officiate our wedding. My now husband and I have been together for 13 years and have a daughter. She listened to this and more to better understand us as a couple. We kept the ceremony short and sweet. She spoke of love and recited quotes. We wrote our own vows. It was non religious with no mention of creator or higher being but nonetheless meaningful. We did incorporate her idea of the ring warming ceremony (since our wedding was small the rings were tied together and passed around so everyone could send their good wishes). She even took photos we forgot to do like photos of our witnesses signing the marriage license and close ups of the rings. Overall she made the experience easy and stress free for us which we very much appreciated being that we were planning our own wedding. Highly, highly recommend Nilou. read more

Nilou made my daughter's wedding the great success that it was. She was a wonderful officiant -- warm, intelligent and so professional. She set a beautiful, relaxed tone to the wedding and we received many compliments about her from those in attendance following the wedding, which was on May 15, 2016 in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. My daughter discovered Nilou online via PartyBravo, and we were so glad she was available and could travel down to Southern California to conduct the Persian wedding ceremony my daughter wanted. Nilou met with my daughter and her fiancé via FaceTime, and was able to help them with their vows, doing much of the work as they are both busy students. We had great communication throughout the planning stages. She is very organized and helped put everyone at ease the day of the wedding -- myself included! Nilou is a beautiful, calm and articulate woman who provided the essential core of the ceremony. We were honored to have her officiate the wedding. Thank you, Nilou! read more

Having Nilou as our officiant was the best decision we have made for our wedding. I had been following her Instagram page for a while and I was already in love with her style.

She really made an effort to get to know me and my husband and prepared a beautiful personalized script for us. She is very sweet, organized and professional. Planning our intimate wedding during the pandemic was already challenging. She was kind enough to give us some recommendations for other vendors and that saved us a lot of time and energy. Our wedding was the first time we met her in person. She brought positive energy to our ceremony with her soulful officiation. She's got a beautiful voice and made our ceremony memorable. All of our guests loved and praised her. Having her at your wedding will take a huge burden off your shoulders and will create a unique memory for you and your guests. I highly recommend her!! read more
