Officiant | Poet | Founder of The Alter

Nicole Reese Graggs is a Columbus, Ohio native, ordained minister, and the creative visionary behind The Alter—a soul-centered officiant service offering sacred, personalized ceremonies for all expressions of love.

A poet, artist, and spiritual space holder, Reese blends deep intentionality with grounded presence to create ceremonies that don’t just mark a moment—they transform it. Since becoming ordained in 2019, Reese has dedicated her work to honoring couples who want more than tradition—they want truth, connection, and a ceremony that feels like them.

Rooted in a belief that love is divine and revolutionary, Reese serves monogamous, polyamorous, LGBTQIA+, and non-traditional couples with care, creativity, and zero judgment. Her ceremonies honor all spiritual paths, denominations, and belief systems—with a special heart for those who don’t see themselves reflected in the mainstream.

Whether it’s a luxury grand ballroom event, a micro-wedding in the woods, a sacred circle of chosen family, or a custom union beyond the binary, Reese works closely with each couple to create a ceremony that reflects your values, you voice, and your vision.

Because love deserves to be fully seen.
Fully felt. And fully free.
