Rev. Tom worked with us to meet our budget, he was generous with his time and energy talking through and planning the ceremony. His presentation was professional, and presented in a way to put the Bride, Groom and audience at ease to enjoy the ceremony. His words were heartfelt and caring and thought provoking. Overall a very positive experience with Rev. Tom to start our life together.

Rev Tom was absolutely fantastic. Extremely charismatic, delivered a beautiful & lighthearted ceremony, made us both feel like it was our day to shine, and gave touching wedding advice we will carry with us. During planning, he provided a detailed form that made it so we could plan the ceremony out exactly as we wanted. The next morning, we had lunch with several attendees and everyone asked how we found such a great Reverend! Thank you for being part of our day Tom!

We are so grateful we chose Rev. Tom to officiate our wedding! He did an incredible job creating a ceremony that was meaningful, heartfelt, and perfectly “us.” He included just the...
right amount of religious elements (which we asked him to do) while also adding some comedic relief that had everyone smiling (he also stepped to the side for our first kiss, so he wasn't in the photos!).
We had so many guests come up to us after the ceremony to tell us how wonderful of a job he did and how much they enjoyed the ceremony. It was truly everything we could have hoped for.
Rev. Tom was also so wonderful to work with throughout the process and made us feel comfortable and confident leading up to the big day. We are so thankful he was part of our wedding and would highly recommend him to any couple looking for an officiant who can make their ceremony both beautiful and personal!

We found Tom through The Knot, and his excellent reviews convinced us to set up a meeting. From the very first call, Tom was professional, warm, and genuinely funny. We immediately...
felt comfortable with him.
Throughout the planning process, Tom was patient, organized, and incredibly diligent. With everything going on, it was hard for us to stay on top of every detail, and Tom consistently followed up to keep us on track—never pushy, always supportive. He made the entire process feel easy.
Now for the most important part: the ceremony. Tom arrived exactly when he said he would, and even though we weren’t able to have a rehearsal due to venue constraints and scheduling challenges with family, he handled everything flawlessly. His delivery was heartfelt, thoughtful, and had the perfect touch of humor. We requested a completely non-religious ceremony, and he honored that fully—every word felt intentional and true to who we are.
What truly set Tom apart, though, was the way he made us feel in the moment. When my bride walked in, I found myself overwhelmed and stuck in my own head. Tom made a few quiet, perfectly timed comments that brought me back into the present so I could truly experience that moment. That meant more to me than he’ll ever know.
Tom is not only an excellent officiant but a genuinely kind and grounding presence. We couldn’t recommend him more highly. If you’re considering him—just book him. You’ll be grateful you did.
Thank you for being such a meaningful part of our day.
With gratitude,
Mr. & Mrs. Pennington

“story” of the bride and groom meeting (like many other officiants do).
All of our guests were extremely complimentary of the ceremony. We kept it short at about 25 minutes or so. He was professional, the ceremony was serious but also light hearted with just a hint of humor here and there. He is flexible and will make adjustments to his material based on what the bride and groom want. He has a ton of great material and put in time and effort to talk with us and get to know us via zoom before the ceremony. We were very happy with his services.

oing to hire an officiant. I made the poor man interview with 8 different options! Rev. Tom had officiated a family wedding my mother had attended about 4 years ago and she still talked about how amazing he was so we reached out to him and after a very lovely zoom call and days of mulling over far too many options, he was an obvious choice. The ceremony was perfect, there was levity when needed but it truly felt like there was a lot of heart within it. The people who attended in person and virtually are still telling us how lovely it was 2 months later. It was a real blessing and we were in very capable hands - I am very glad we trusted Rev.

hes on details that you may never even think of. I wanted to honor a few of mine and my husband's relatives that had passed on by acknowledging them in our ceremony and he accommodated this without issue.
Our wedding, like many others, got postponed due to COVID-19. About a month before our original wedding date, we decided we still wanted to get legally married on the original date. We contacted Rev Tom and asked him if he could do an impromptu ceremony with just myself and my husband and he definitely delivered. He even chose the perfect location for us to have an intimate ceremony, a beautiful park on the Schaumburg Municipal Grounds!
Fast forward to our actual wedding celebration on June 4th, 2021, Rev Tom delivered again with our ceremony. The messages he shared with us, the quotes he used, the humor he used from time to time, it was perfect! All of our wedding guests commented on how much his message meant to them and told us we need to live by this advice and cherish it.
I would recommend Rev Tom to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding and would give him 10 stars if I could.

We met with quite a few reverends before Rev. Tom, but knew once we met him he would be a good fit. He is very nice, personable, experienced, and funny.
He will only add humor to...
your ceremony if you approve. We did, and he had our guests laughing. He incorporates the humor at the right times, which doesn’t take away from the emotional times.
We had guests asking us if we knew reverend Tom because he was so personable. He also received many compliments.
He did our ceremony without reading off of anything which just shows his experience and professionalism. He moves out of the way to allow good photos at the right times. This guy knows what he is doing! I’d recommend meeting with reverend Tom to see if he will fit your wedding the way he did ours. Great job rev. Tom, keep it up!

He referenced music, he did an Irish blessing for us, he even put a spin on passages from the Bible. Everyone told me after our ceremony that they were blown away by how beautiful he made everything sound into words. They even laughed with us and there was never a dull moment. You could really feel the love all around at our ceremony. There’s not much else to say except if you’re looking for an officiant that has spunk, class, humor, and a kind heart; you should choose Tom. Thanks, Tom! We hope to see you soon.

im. We met with Rev. Tom a month prior to our wedding date to go over our wishes for the ceremony and he gave his input as well. The meeting was great because we felt as if we were listened to and he genuinely cares about what we wanted and how much it meant to us. About a week after our meeting, he emailed us a detailed breakdown of how the ceremony would go and in the order it would occur. We also had the option to make any adjustments that we wanted as he is extremely opened to any kind of ceremony (we did not want any mention of god and he was supportive of our wishes). On the day of our wedding, he was punctual to our location along the Chicago River (he was there before we even arrived). The ceremony was conducted exactly to what was discussed and planned and our families loved his personal touch and professionalism to our ceremony. It made already a memorable day even better. If you choose anyone but Rev. Tom, you will regret it.

My fiancé and I had a very small and intimate wedding with only 14 guests total (our immediate families and their spouses) and Rev. Tom was amazing and he made our ceremony so spec...
ial, heartfelt, and memorable.
Even though we met him for the first time on the day of our wedding, he made us feel so comfortable and at ease, so it felt like he was an old friend.
I spoke with him for probably a total of 3 hours on the phone from the time we interviewed him to the actual date of our wedding, and I was really relieved that he was so helpful and communicative, which is why we decided to hire him.
My only concern was that he arrived exactly 10 minutes before our ceremony started, which really stressed me out significantly as a bride. When I called him twice, my calls went straight to voicemail since he had already silenced his phone to prepare for our ceremony, but that really made me stress when I wasn’t sure where he was when we were that close to the ceremony start time. I’m a pretty laid back and understanding person, and was really calm all day, but I think that I would have felt much better had he called or texted me to let me know he would arrive so late since when we interviewed over the phone, we agreed that he would arrive at least 30 minutes before the ceremony start time.
Other than that little mishap, Rev. Tom was absolutely great, and we are happy to recommend him! He was a great speaker and he really made our ceremony and wedding day special.
Thanks, Rev. Tom!
