The Marriage You Want

lly liked! We met for coffee and immediately knew he was our guy! He was always very responsive with any questions we had and was super flexible with meeting times. He was really helpful in customizing the wording of our ceremony because we needed to blend a little bit of religion and non-religion into it. We literally went through every word to make sure it was saying what my husband and I intended and Thomas was totally fine with that! He was 100% open to any ideas or suggestions we had and honestly just wanted to make sure the ceremony turned out exactly how we wanted it to be, and it DID. We got SO many complements on how great of a job he did that night and I hope our friends and family told him in person too! We also took a few counseling classes from him so we could all get to know each other a little better and the classes were really helpful and insightful! If we ever do a vow renewal, we would hire him again in a heartbeat.

r success. Thomas did a great job working with us the entire year leading up to our wedding. Not only should you hire him for the big day, but I would also hire him for the marriage counseling portion as well. He really helped up communicate in a way we never have before and I am grateful!

owed us to make any changes or add anything that we wanted. We also did a few premarital counseling sessions with him. We could not have asked for a better officiant! 10/10 recommend to everyone!!!

ho wouldn't feel like a complete stranger to marry us. I FINALLY found Thomas and just something about his reviews jumped out at me. I knew we had to at least meet him. We met for coffee and within 10 minutes I squeezed my husband's hand because I knew we had found the one. He is so sweet and genuinely interested in his couples. We were able to meet with him a couple more times before the wedding and we had a blast with him each time. He was completely open to every idea we had, willing to meet with us as many times as needed, and just so excited for us. The day of the wedding, I cannot even begin to count how many people we had come up to us and ask about Thomas because he had done an AMAZING job. I am so incredibly grateful that we found Thomas because instead of just having any officiant marry us, we got to be married by a friend. Please book Thomas to marry you, you will not regret it!

homas before hand, which I would highly recommend! I definitely will be recommended Thomas to family and friends in the future!

e our ceremony very honest and sincere. He also was able to lighten our nerves during the ceremony which we appreciated and so did our guests and they chuckled here and there, which was awesome and made it really fun and enjoyable for my husband and I to enjoy our ceremony!! We both highly recommend his professional services.

vision. He was very flexible with every aspect of the ceremony, from theme, to speakers, to specific quotes. We were slightly anxious about being in front of all of our friends and family, but having Thomas to guide us was a calming influence. Thank you, Thomas!

t helped us communicate better and love each other even more than we thought was possible! He gave us exercises to use to strengthen our relationship for many years to come, and we cannot thank him enough for all that he did for us! My husband and I loved having Thomas, and now friend, marrying us! He is a super fun guy, and I hope yall love him as much as we do.

es. He even worked with us on our personal wedding vows, and after many revisions, the final product was so much better than what we started with. He was also very helpful during the rehearsal, providing some guidance on how to keep from fainting, how to deal with nervousness, etc. We received a lot of compliments from guests on our officiant selection. We originally chose Thomas as our officiant because we liked the personality and values that he portrayed on his website. All of that positivity and great energy came through at the wedding! We look forward to using him again, down the road, whenever we have our vows renewed!

script that worked for us. Most importantly, he was calm and reassuring throughout the ceremony, which made us comfortable. We recommend him with great enthusiasm!

he tools to communicate and keep our relationship strong while also helping us work through personal issues that would affect our marriage in the long run. My husband and I feel closer and more prepared for our journey ahead because of Thomas. When we feel that we are "off" we inevitably return to the practices and insights that Thomas provided. The ceremony is important, but the marriage is more so and I think he really gave us a leg up for the road ahead. Bonus! I even showed my own parents a few of his exercises and they have even said that it brought them closer as well.

plate which helped us create the perfect vows. Thomas has a great voice and was very personable to everyone at our event. If he is available, don't think twice, just book with him!

with our opinions. He wanted us to know that this is "our wedding" and our wedding should show our personalities. He gave us a document for the wedding and helped us customize it to our taste. We wanted to write vows to our kids and Thomas helped us with ideas on how to incorporate them. He was a wealth of knowledge! The day of the wedding, Thomas was available early which put our wedding day jitters to rest. Not to mention the wedding was on a family ranch which was 140 miles out of Houston. He came prepared for any missteps the wedding may have had. We would recommended Thomas to anyone wanting the prefect wedding!

scuss what we pictured for our ceremony. When we met for our first meeting, he told us a little about himself and made us feel extremely comfortable. I mentioned some ideas and he said that he had several resources that he could send us to help plan our ceremony. He sent them in a timely manner and was available via email with any questions I had. After we had a general idea of what we wanted, he met with us to finalize all of the details. Throughout the whole process, he was extremely helpful and personable. He even met with us after the wedding because I forgot to bring the marriage license to the wedding! I would recommend Thomas as an officiant to anyone who is searching for a wonderful experience!

r relationship] that more special. By the time our wedding day rolled around Thomas knew us extremely well and was able to officiate the wedding with a level of comfort and professionalism that we will always look back on with awe. Thomas was amazing! The moment we met him (interviewing him) we knew he was the counselor for us. He is real, honest, and kind. We were looking for someone who could talk about real life issues and situations that might come up and Thomas always had a great example to help explain the best way to work through those issues. Our favorite quote from him is "This issue will always be existent in your marriage and it's how you communicate and work through it that will keep your marriage together and successful." Those words were so comforting because it isn't about changing someone, it's about loving them for who they are and how to work through issues. Every marriage will have issues and people are stubborn and stuck in their ways (especially us), and Thomas helps your recognize when those issues fester up and create a way to work through them. Thomas provides you with tools for a successful marriage, they are simple and help you communicate better with other, and honestly that's what it's all about... Communication!!!! Thomas will walk you through a detailed personality test called the Birkman Method. It’s goal is to define leading behaviors and perform a personality assessment of an individual. At first we felt apprehensive, but when we sat down with him to go over the results we learned a LOT about ourselves and each other. Well I loved it! We learned so much and from time to time we reflect on our results when we are making decisions and working through issues. It really helps you understand who your partner is and why he/she is the way they are. You think you know now, but wait till you get your results, it's mind blowing! Throughout our counseling (about 8 sessions) we both felt comfortable with Thomas. He was easy to talk to and a fantastic listener. We are thankful for Thomas and the words of wisdom he gave us. We whole heartedly recommend Thomas to walk you through one of the best chapters of your life. You will learn a lot and hopefully strengthen your relationship with your best friend as we have. Thank you Thomas for proving to be a wonderful mentor, officiant, and friend! Forever thankful, Britney and Chris Palmer - 01.30.16

learned a lot of practical information. Thomas was also super-accommodating, allowing us to bring our newborn into the class and arranging a space at the building where we could leave our older child with a sitter. Having two kids had previously kept us from doing things like this class to support our marriage, and it was awesome to see that Thomas recognized that as a barrier and did everything he could to help us attend anyway.

ght into our counseling sessions, which I really appreciated. The sessions that we had were extremely beneficial in our marriage. Thomas taught us that he could never prevent us from fighting, but he could teach us to "fight well", and he definitely did that! We are so grateful to Thomas for what he taught us about ourselves and our relationship. He also performed a wonderful wedding ceremony that our guests are STILL raving about (the wedding was 11 months ago!). It was exactly what we asked for, and we could not be more pleased!

ng but also the move. He is extremely flexible and easy to work with, which we needed because all of our planning was about only 3 months. The ceremony was great and we can not thank Thomas enough. We plan to use him for life coaching and relationship counseling once we return to the states.

im. Having Thomas by your side through the ceremony process alleviates some of the stresses that come along with wedding planning. I am thankful Thomas was there on our wedding day!

well. I couldn't suggest Thomas more for your wedding.

ing through the ceremony made me nervous, but Thomas was so funny he lightened the mood so I could shine for my groom. I would recommend Thomas without any reservations to anyone!

o fun and personable. Communication was great throughout the entire process. We're grateful that he was available for us!

d various things about ourselves as individuals and as a couple that the other did not know. This knowledge gave us insight on how to better communicate with each other. Furthermore, he helped us make our wedding ceremony picture perfect by incorporating various elements from two different cultures. Thanks so much everything Thomas... xoxo The Carters!

e wedding and it went off without a hitch. I would recommend him to anybody!
