Thomas P. Wedding Officiant

ick. We weren't able to meet up with him before hand so he was able to FaceTime us so that was super nice and convienent!

uple and making the ceremony just as we wanted it. He captured our vision with his words and set the tone of love and marriage for our whole ceremony. His officiating was really personal and intimate; we highly recommend Tom to other couples!

he details of our story and gave a special touch to the ceremony. He went above and beyond what we were expecting. Thank you for making our day so special.

l events in our journey thus far. Tom helped design a ceremony outline that was perfect and true to our style. We will always appreciate Tom and his ability to share our story in a beautiful and meaningful way. Thanks, Tom!

ch other. When we got engaged, my fiancé and I wanted an officiant who we felt comfortable with, who understood our story, and who could blend our lives together through the words spoken during our ceremony. Tom captured our wishes and created a ceremony that we will never forget. Tom takes the time to sit down with you as a couple and really get to know you, understand you, and even share his wisdom and advice having been married for many years. He is fun, thorough, and makes you feel comfortable. He truly keeps the couple in mind when he creates his ceremony and communicates with both the bride and groom throughout the process to check in with them. Guests of ours who have been married for many years and even newlyweds came up to us during the reception to tell us how moved they were with our ceremony and the message Tom shared. He nailed every detail we wanted and conveyed the message perfectly!! Wish I could do it all over again!!! If you are looking for the best, you need to use Thomas Potwora!!! Highly recommend him for your ceremony officiant!

s best to welcome me and put me at ease. Tom had clearly taken a lot of time to get to know my son and his bride, as evidenced by the details and observations he made about them during the ceremony. Tom's presence was loving, encouraging, and reassuring. Tom, I am grateful that Ty and Kristine were able to have you as their guide and partner on their wedding day.

ceremony and how personal it was. Thomas took the time to sit down and talk with us for nearly 2 hours getting to know my wife and I. He incorporated the smallest details into his speech. We could not have been happier with what he did for our special day. You will not be disappointed if you have Thomas at your wedding.

new that I wanted him to be a part of my wedding. He is extremely professional, personable, and so nice! He helped us work on our ceremony timeline and accommodated the readings we wanted to include. He was willing to tailor the ceremony to however we wanted it to be. Thomas is a great public speaker and even though we had only met him a few months before our wedding, he spoke so well about us at our ceremony, that the guests were shocked to hear that he wasn't a long time friend. I feel very luckily to have had Thomas be a part of our special day. People are still telling me how great he was! I am very serious when I say that you will not be disappointed :)

know us as people and as a couple. He was genuinely interested in our relationship and offered advice that we still use today. Tom allowed for our ceremony to be personalized to fit us. He utilized our conversation to tell our love story to our family and friends. We decided to write our own vows to one another and Tom was extremely supportive in guiding us through this. Our family and friends have raved that they've never seen a better ceremony put together. This is solely due to Tom officiating. A great officiant is extremely important to a smooth ceremony; we will remember ours forever! We highly recommend Tom!

our wedding was a little more difficult than we had anticipated. But when met Tom, we were put at ease. He was so easy to talk with and helped us craft a beautiful ceremony. He was able to take our thoughts and put them together in a great and genuine way. I would recommend Tom to anyone looking for a great officiant!

ore than what we could have asked for. His preparedness, knowledge, voice, and candor was excellent. The feedback from our guests mirrored our exact sentiments in what we hoped we would get from Thomas. Thank you for contributing to an amazing day and we would not have chosen anyone else.

y about us and did an amazing job at the ceremony. He is very laid back and able to offer a lot of insight. He was able to balance our needs as a couple, my husband is religious and I am not, and Thomas was able to combine both of our needs and beliefs into a great ceremony. Thomas is awesome and the kind of person you want to be friends with. We could not be happier we hired him!!

ce in our journey. One of my favorite parts, on my wedding day, was my ceremony, thanks to Tom! He led a perfect ceremony with just enough humor, personal touch, and religious references. Thank you Tom!

ve become more like friends. He helped me and my now husband discover the true meaning of marriage and helped us express to each other our concerns, fears, and realistic goals. He also helped us discover the "5 languages of love" which was just mind blowing to learn of one another. I truly feel that without his guidance/counseling we would not be prepared emotionally and spiritually for the journey that my husband and I have decided to take together. Pastor Thomas was there to answer all of our questions, help us resolve some underlying and unresolved issues that existed in our courtship. He was always a phone call, text or email away and truly made us feel at ease and excited for what was ahead in our next chapter. Till death do us part as they say. Many guest mentioned how touched and relatable the ceremony was to them. Well Pastor Thomas we hope to make you a part of our lives for as long as we are able to. Things to know: very punctual, knowledgeable and honestly his value exceeds his asking price. P.S. Do yourself a favor......book him, you won't regret it!

ico making it very affordable. Prior to this I had tried to go at alone in finding my own officiant to renew our vows. All I received in return were headaches and sketchy details. Thomas P. reassured me and he and his beautiful wife appeared on the white sand beach as promised in Tulum with a bouquet of flowers for my bride. Thomas P. led an amazing vow renewal ceremony while many friends looked on. We are grateful for discovering Weddings by Thomas P.

ting either, he sat with us a long time genuinely interested in our story. He even offered us marital advice before we even booked him. Since he took notes on all we talked about, he had the perfect summary of our love story to share at our ceremony. Everyone was touch.

and I were not super excited about the ceremony at first (we do not love being in front of large groups of people), but Tom made the process so enjoyable. He met with us for 2 hours and really got to know us as a couple. Tom was able to take our 9-year, friendship to engagement story and turn it into the personalized and unique fairytale that we see it as. He totally made the day about us and even called me the morning of the wedding to ask if we needed anything last minute. I recommend Tom for any wedding! He created a ceremony that was beautiful, memorable, relatable, and still completely us.

d’s family; and at a later stage, a larger celebration with all our family and friends. We choose to meet with Thomas after a lot of research, reading reviews, and looking at videos on many different sites. After meeting with Thomas we both knew he was the person we wanted to marry us. Thomas is extremely personal, took time getting to know us both as individuals and as a couple and was genuinely interested in our story. Thomas had a wonderful way of turning our story and conversation with him into a beautiful ceremony. His delivery was perfection and the ceremony was so personal and special. Thomas managed to capture the sincerity and fun of our relationship just perfectly. After the ceremony, both my husband and I and my husband’s parents spent a significant amount of the night speaking about what a wonderful ceremony Thomas performed. Thomas made the ceremony so unique, wonderful and memorable. We will definitely be booking him next year for our second and larger ceremony.

making our ceremony about us. Not only was he a pleasure for us to work with, but everyone who attended our ceremony commented on how wonderful he was. His attention to detail and ability to customize the ceremony really contributed to making our ceremony everything we dreamed it would be and more. I highly recommend Thomas and am so grateful that we found him and were able to use him on our special day.

conversation as he got to know us. The great comfort level we had, leaving our first meeting with Thomas, we instantly knew that he would do great for our wedding ceremony. We sure were right! Thomas turned the story of our relationship into a beautiful ceremony - it was so hard to hold back our emotions while standing at the alter! If we did it all over again, we most definitely would pick Thomas as our officiant! We definitely recommend him!

e in the ceremony. He was beyond wonderful and 3 months later we still have guests from our wedding raving about what a great ceremony and message it was. We highly recommend him!

personal and a combination of Dutch and American aspects. He included our daughter in the ceremony and that was wonderful. Thank you so much Thomas, for making our day so special!

him and he genuinely wanted to learn our story. He also offered several words of wisdom on married life, which we greatly appreciated. On our wedding day he told our love story perfectly while tying in readings and lessons for a successful relationship. He executed the ceremony BEYOND our expectations, mixing in the perfect amount of sincerity and laughter. He truly created a unique, memorable ceremony for us and we've received several compliments on how beautiful it was. We HIGHLY recommend, thank you Thomas!!

anized, and genuinely interested in "our story." He guided us through the entire process, making great suggestions where we needed help. Most importantly, he exceeded our already high expectations for our wedding day. The ceremony was unique, thoughtful, and truly memorable for us and our guests (many commented on what a great job he did). We HIGHLY recommend him. Thank you Thomas!!!

h was how we found out about him :) Everyone at our wedding was complimenting on how great he was! Thank you Thomas for making our day such a special one!

ting on the significance of our wedding and the big step we were about to take. Thomas was very diligent, taking notes at every step to make sure he could capture the essence of our relationship. We felt like talking to a family friend, someone that could project and convey our feelings during the ceremony. Thomas is very professional, always diligent to respond to any email and questions we had. He also guided us through the marriage license process, which it was very simple. He had multiple small details that made the ceremony great, like the idea of putting a flower in my husband's mother seat, as she passed away a few years back. Also, he took the time to research our wedding song. We (my husband and I) are from Latin descent and chose a song in Spanish. Thomas, looked the song up, translated the lyrics and was able to add that to our ceremony. His presence made the ceremony even more magical. We can't thank him enough for all that he did for us.

sn't enough! Thank you Thomas!

ly clicked with that made us feel very comfortable and would make our day very special. We met Thomas the first time over coffee filling him in on all the details of how we met, our relationship and what we love about each other. My husband and I are both pretty silly and wanted to ceremony to be special, but have a silly tone to it to truly represent the both of us. Not only did Thomas assist both of us in writing our vows, he was helpful throughout the process and was open to offering feedback when requested. After the ceremony, we were both so excited and pleased on how everything turned out. Thomas read our vows for us (since I was extremely nervous and knew I wouldn’t be able to) and added the perfect blend of readings and additional items he had learned about my husband and I in our initial meeting. We had so many complements from our guests about our ceremony being the best they had ever been a part of. Thomas is an absolute amazing officiant. I would definitely recommend him to any future brides/grooms looking for an officiant that will help make your wedding day very special.

mas officiated and created the MOST memorable, personalized and emotional story of the young couples love for each other. Everyone felt they had a renewed sense of the commitment of marriage. It was refreshing to witness such an uplifting event that set the tone for the reception. Guests were raving about how much they enjoyed the experience.

w us and it was really reflected in our vows. He helped my husband and I to bring out exactly what we wanted to say in our vows by providing feedback and advice. He was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Once the ceremony started, Thomas made us feel very at ease. He made the whole crowd laugh and cry. He tailored our ceremony perfectly to us. Once the ceremony was over, many people complimented on what a great job he did. It was absolutely perfect and we would recommend Thomas to anyone who wants an officiant who really cares and invests in you.

wedding ceremony. He was always accessible via email or phone to answer any questions or discuss any concerns. Thomas was a wonderful officiant and we would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for one.

is warm, friendly, and really took the time to get to know us. All of our guest remarked how wonderfully unique and personal our ceremony was! He "got" us and our relationship and really brought that out in our vows! I could not have asked for anyone better than Thomas! He made our wedding perfect!

ickly, and knew within our initial meeting that we wanted him to marry us. The first time we met up with Thomas he took well over and hour get to know us. He truly wanted to find our story. That's what struck me initially with Thomas, he wants to make the day about you. I've been to plenty of weddings where the officiant is basically just reading the same cut and copy text with just the names changed. We both didn't want that, and Thomas really delivered. He catered the ceremony to our wishes, and really made it about us. And to top if off, he's not just standing up there reading. He's talking to you and your guests. My wife and I both cried throughout the entire ceremony. Numerous people have told me what a wonderful job they thought he did, and I couldn't agree more. He stayed in contact with us throughout our engagement asking us questions to tailor the ceremony, and letting us know he was there if we needed him for anything. I really can't recommend him more. Thoroughly professional, and a really nice guy. You will be incredibly pleased with Thomas as your officiant.

cere; but it was hard to find someone that had a separate relationship to both my husband and I, that we felt could speak to a large group. We started searching online and came across Thomas P. His website caught our attention, and we watched a video of a wedding that he officiated, so we thought we'd give him a call. We ended up speaking to him over the phone for about an hour in our car, in front of the wedding invitation place (because that's where we happened to be when he called us back haha). He just seemed very invested in our story and we felt like we connected with him. He has a sense about him that is incredibly endearing, and made us feel very comfortable. The day we actually met him was our wedding day, and although we hasn't spoken to him since our first phone call, we had no doubts that our ceremony was going to be sincere and personal. Thomas really wowed the entire room, with tears flowing freely. I thought it was really wonderful that he had us write our own vows to each other and we really were able to express how we felt. He also told the guests our love story and it was very sweet, with humor in all the right places. Another personal touch that he convinced us to include was a reading of our choice, read by the person of our choice. I had my sister and Matron of Honor read The Irish Blessing because it has a very special meaning to me and my family. He made my sister feel very comfortable and nodded his head in approval when she was finished. Everyone will always remember my wedding ceremony thanks to Thomas P. He comes extremely recommended by my husband and I. You know you are in good hands with him.

future plans together in life are. The ceremony was perfect in every way. I would recommend Thomas to any bride and groom.

email to getting our marriage certificate taken care of, it was absolute professionalism and dedication the entire way! He met with us for almost two hours, just listening to our story, and incorporated it so beautifully in the ceremony. He even saved me by having tissues when I was crying up there and had nothing with me!!! If you care at all about your ceremony being special, unique, and genuine, you will contact Thomas!!

red us to Thomas, who was available on our wedding date and even agreed to meet us the very next night for coffee and to get to know us. We were BOTH very stressed about possibly not having an officiant - and Thomas could sense this and was immediately able to calm both of our nerves. He definitely put us at ease, and we immediately knew that we had found the right person for our wedding At the wedding - wow - where do I start? He was (honestly) one of the best speakers I had ever heard - the way he spoke led many people to believe that he'd known us for YEARS - despite only meeting us once for an hour a week prior to the wedding. He was funny, very VERY well spoken, very easy to talk to and get along with and left a great impression on everybody there. Really, I could go on for hours and hours - read the other reviews then do the right thing - with Thomas you CAN'T go wrong and he will make your wedding a day to remember. Thanks Thomas Jeff & Chanmony L

eremony. When we first met he asked us a few questions (how/where we met, how my fiancé proposed, each of our first thoughts on our first date, etc) and he included our answers in the ceremony. I was touched! Thomas is very easy to work with and offers his help wherever he can. I would absolutely recommend Thomas to other brides.

, it was a comfortable conversation. He made it easy to share our story with him and we just clicked from the start. He is a compassionate, kind man that shared thoughts with us about our journey through life together. He quickly learned about us and our lives and this showed in our ceremony. It was heartfelt and better than we could have imagined. There were tears as he shared the special moments in our relationship and our goals for the future. Thomas will be a large part of our memories from our wedding day. Thanks again for all of the kindness and compassion that you put into our wedding.

e made us feel so comfortable. The first thing my wife said when we left was oh wow he is so tall, and the first thing i said was i love that guy! but really he made the ceremony very personal and not to long and just all around nice. I was a little dissapointed when he said my name wrong in one of his readings he called me kevin twice when my name is tyler right before i could correct him he started calling me tyler again. so besides that little hicup he did amazing i would definaitly reccomend him to others who are getting married.

We chose to take our vows on the beach during a beautiful sunset. He was kind and professional in every way and tailored our ceremony to be quite personal. He didn't babble on and on with meaningless chatter. He tied everything back to the personal details we provded him. He was helpful in the structure of the ceremony and is full of fantastic tips and ideas to help anyone during this special event.

tting!! My husband and I attended a wedding where you were the officiant. It was in October of 2010 in Temecula, CA at a gorgeous winery. We were simply in awe of how you captured what that couple wanted to say through you. You described them as individuals then as a couple...simply amazing in how you were able to capture each person's essence, then their commitment, love, and happiness to be together. At any rate, when we left that wedding we immediately wondered if you would be available to do ours. We waited a while to contact you, but thank God you were available to do ours. We met with you and your lovely wife, Melissa, for some lunch and discussion about what we wanted to convey at our wedding. I couldn't believe the amount of time and detail you went into during that lunch regarding our values as individuals, morals, desires, and character. Your focus to detail was amazing and you had gotten us thinking afterwards about each other, which made our commitment to each other that much stronger. I knew how we felt about each other, but I think for us to convey to a third person while in the presence of each other made us just "know" we were meant for each other. There were about 100 people at our ceremony itself, which seemed to be a lot, and about 150 at the reception. I was asked numerous times about your services and provided your name to every single person who asked as they know someone, or are related to someone, who will be getting married soon. There were more compliments on your ceremony than I have ever heard at any previous wedding. We loved that although our wedding was not a traditional "religious" ceremony there were references to God, spirituality, and our beliefs in one Creator of all there is...just how we requested it...spiritual but not "by the book" religious, for our purposes. Your interpretation of how I feel about my husband, and how he feels about me, was 100% spot-on. We've watched the video a couple of times and there were moments in the ceremony that we simply didn't remember since we were both nervous as a cat in a dog pound. It was a gorgeous ceremony and the words you used, how you used them, and certain inflections during times of the ceremony really enhanced it's meaning to both of us! I want to thank you for our making our ceremony the best I've ever seen, and the only one I'll ever be a part of! I hope you get to officiate many other weddings and make other couples' days as special as you made ours! Professional, courteous, and somewhat humorous is how I would describe our service from the time we met with you and Melissa through the reception itself. We are glad you were available and couldn't see how things would have turned out had you not been!! I HIGHLY recommend your services to anyone seeking an officiant....if they want a quality service that is!! Thank you, Thomas Potwora!

ouples love, and the couple were moved to tears during the ceremony.I truly felt that he cared about this couple. I highly recommend his officiating skills.
