NAWELLE
about being a French officiant in Paris
“Born and raised in Paris, my heart has always belonged to my beloved hometown.”
“Then my curiosity and sense for adventure lead me to the United States: I spent a few years in Northern California and Las Vegas. My time in the USA has shaped my worldview and appreciation of cultural diversity – I always felt welcome as a foreigner.”
“Back in Paris I also want to make foreigners feel welcome in my beautiful hometown. Because of this and my passion for love, romance and all things wedding, I found myself drawn to become a French officiant in Paris and joined The Paris Celebrants team.
“It brings me great joy to celebrate one of the most profound commitments two individuals can make. Each Paris elopement and vow renewal ceremony I officiate holds a special place in my heart, as I believe in the power of love to transform lives.”
Testimonials
French officiant in Paris
Dana & Julian
“To say that we were pleased with Nawelle as our Celebrant would be an understatement. She made our 30th Wedding Anniversary vow renewal even more memorable than we imagined it would be in the “City of Love!” We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to have a special ceremony in Paris.”
Isabelle & Bob
“We would like to thank Nawelle for her contribution to our special day.
She created a fantastic story about our love — very personal and touching.
She was punctual, professional, and everything was exactly as agreed, and even more.
We highly recommend her to anyone.”
Sharon & Chris
“I am very happy that Nawelle officiated our elopement ceremony. She is very professional and friendly. Nawelle kept in touch and communicated with us and the photographer before the ceremony, and the entire ceremony was arranged perfectly. Nawelle’s guidance made the process very smooth, and we were even moved to tears by the touching personalized vows. The atmosphere of the whole ceremony was very emotional and unforgettable!”
Nina & Tom
“I have to give a huge compliment to Nawelle, our wonderful French marriage officiant in Paris. Everything she did for us yesterday truly restored my faith in humanity. She has such a big heart — it’s incredible .
First of all, she created such a beautiful elopement wedding ceremony for us at the Eiffel Tower and made everything absolutely perfect .
After the ceremony, we had booked a photographer. She immediately offered to help and take us to the meeting point. When we couldn’t find the photographer and he sent us a photo of his location, she went off to look for him. She wasn’t able to find him at first, but she approached someone else from the company and brought him to us.
In the end, we only had 10 minutes left for the photoshoot. It was completely natural for her to look after our belongings and our daughter — and on top of that, she even offered to take more photos of us afterwards, just like that. I can’t put into words how grateful I am for Nawelle and for this day. Thank you.”
Natalie & Anthony
“Nawell was excellent. She was organised, personable and had everything arranged for an event that flowed well. As our French officiant in Paris she knew the best spots to go to for the ceremony . She offered for us to contact her during our trip for any general advice we needed while in Paris. I would highly recommend Nawelle’s services.”
Tim & Catherine
“Nawelle performed a vowel renewal for my wife and I in December 2025. I organised it as a surprise for my wife on our trip to Paris. Nawelle was so helpful in the lead up to the ceremony. She was perfect on the day, even providing a French reading for us as part of the ceremony.
Thank you Nawelle for a beautiful day. I’d recommend Nawelle to anyone planning their romantic day in Paris.”
Beryl & EJ
“Nawelle is truly the best officiant in Paris. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease, as if we were in the presence of someone who genuinely understood our love story. She turned our elopement into a dream wedding—intimate, emotional, and deeply meaningful.
Her words were beautifully chosen, spoken with such warmth and sincerity that every moment felt sacred and personal. She didn’t just officiate our ceremony; she brought our love to life, honoring our journey in the most touching way. There were tears, laughter, and a sense of magic that we will carry with us forever.
Thanks to Nawelle, our elopement was not just a ceremony, but a memory etched into our hearts. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect person to stand with us on such an important day.”
June & Chris
“The wedding vow renewal ceremony was exactly what we wanted for our special day in Paris. We were very happy that our Paris celebrant Nawelle officiated our ceremony. Only a few minutes after meeting her, she made us feel very comfortable and at ease. She definitely made a difference and helped create a special moment that we will always remember. Thank you so much, Nawelle, and the entire team of The Paris Celebrant – you made our renewal of wedding vows in Paris truly special.”
Devon & Brandon
“We had the most amazing wedding celebration in Paris with Nawelle as our French celebrant. A lovely, relaxed and personalised ceremony in English and Nawelle was really helpful in providing information and recommendations prior to our ceremony via email as we were planning from the USA. On the day she was on time and dressed for the occasion – and juts really sweet. We can’t recommend The Paris Celebrants and Nawelle as English speaking officiant in Paris enough! “
