We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding officiant. He was incredibly well spoken and delivered our ceremony with such warmth, clarity, and sincerity. One of the most meaningful parts for us was how thoughtfully he incorporated our Filipino traditions into the ceremony—it felt personal, respectful, and beautifully done. Many of our guests commented on how touching and engaging the ceremony was. We are so grateful for the care and intention he brought to our special day.

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

the entire ceremony memorized - everyone was raving about him afterwards. He incorporated all of our requests and he was both meaningful and funny throughout the ceremony. He even stepped out of the way for our personal vows as well as our kiss - we got some amazing photos with just the two of us because of that.
We are so happy and so grateful to Rev Tom for making our ceremony truly magical. We wish we could relive it! Our biggest THANK YOU REV TOM!!

“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. Tom with the most important day of our lives yet!

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.

Rev Tom made sure to make the ceremony how we wanted it, we are not religious and he was respectful of our choices and reflected them in his choice of readings and quotes. Overall, I would highly recommend Rev Tom to anyone in need of an officiant!

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!

Reverend Tom was amazing!!! Down to earth and light hearted! What we loved about him was that he takes the time to get to know you as a couple before officiating your wedding! He’...
s not just in it for money. He doesn’t read from a book at the ceremony so it’s not scripted! He even steps to the side when you say your vows so the moment is really between you and your spouse! What’s even better is the photographer then captures that moment of just you two without anyone in the background! Reverend Tom was incredible and we couldn’t be happier! Thank you again for making our day even more magical!

Rev. Tom was truly remarkable to work with. He made sure to incorporate everything we wanted in our ceremony, including a remembrance at the start to honor my father and he also ma...
de it as religious as we wanted it to be. He included the readings we selected and prayers in-between. After the ceremony, our guests would not stop raving about how amazing our ceremony was and how different it had been from every other one they've attended. Ours truly stood out and we owe it all to Rev. Tom for making it so special!
