Thomas P. Wedding Officiant

ad, 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 still have guests from our wedding raving about what a great ceremony and message it was. We highly recommend him!

cluded our daughter in the ceremony and that was wonderful. Thank you so much Thomas, for making our day so special!

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!!

hrough 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!!!

complimenting on how great he was! Thank you Thomas for making our day such a special one!

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.

e 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.

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.

nd 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.

o 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.

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!

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.

onship 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.

very way. I would recommend Thomas to any bride and groom.

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!!

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

e 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.

ur 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.

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.

et. 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.

e 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!

ony.I truly felt that he cared about this couple. I highly recommend his officiating skills.

Ohio and were having the ceremony in Orange County. He was readily available by phone and email which put us at ease. When we arrived in Orange County a few days before the wedding, he took the time to meet with us and go over everything, free of charge. I received so much feedback from friends and relatives that it was the most personal and touching ceremony that they have ever been to. My husband and I could not agree more. I would recommend Thomas to anyone. Such a great person as well as officiant!!

really felt comfortable with him. He added many personal touches to the ceremony and made it most memorable. We loved his sense of humor and best of all, he is so good looking, the pictures looked great too! Thanks Tom, we would highly recommend you again and again.

he was gathering to put his speech together... it was great!!!! He laughed with us, he opened up to us, and even shed a tear with us while discussing special stories of our past. After our initial interview, we felt relieved driving back home!!! He was always a quick phone call, text, or email away. Whenever we needed to contact him with a last minute question, he would quickly respond within a few minutes after the text/email was sent.... that really said a lot about the professionalism Thomas displayed since preparing for a wedding carries a lot of stress in itself. The ceremony was amazing!!! We chose a small, mellow, outdoor setting in a park. Thomas was on time, punctual, and prepared. The ceremony was amazing!!! The speech was well thought out and it was exactly what we wanted.... He made a chance in lifetime wedding that much more special for all of us. After the wedding, our family members were so impressed with him. We heard many comments, such as: "Wow, I've been to many weddings over the years, and that was the most amazing, beautiful ceremony I've ever been to" "The wedding was not too short or too long, everything flowed with meaning and Thomas was so warm, friendly, and was like a family member" Thanks, Thomas for making our ceremony incredible!!!! We highly recommend him for any couple looking for a Wedding Officiant. Mahalo!!!

lected Tom to marry us. However, after meeting and speaking with Tom over lunch, we had her full support. Tom has a real way with people, he takes the time to get to know you and on your wedding day, you really feel lke he is a member of your family. I can't say enough great things about him. It's rare to find someone like this these days, my wife and I were very pleased with Tom's services. I highly reccomend him to you or anyone you know that is getting married.

our officiant but a counsilorbefore our big day. He always made time to check how I was doing with my vows and wanted to help in any way I needed it. The day I got married, I didnt know exactly word for word how the ceremony was going to be play out, but I was not worried. The conversations that I had with Tom prior to the wedding made me cortfortable on my wedding day. He made my wedding so personal I knew I picked the right person to marry my fiancee and I. It was the perfect day Tom. Thank you

and advice for couples. He took so much time getting to know us and that truly showed during his ceremony outline. He perfected everything for us and discussed every detail about our relationship, down to our favorite burger joint. Our ceremony was truly reflective who we are individually and as a couple. Our family and friends RAVED about him and how wonderful of an officiant he was. He delivered everything perfectly and I could have not expected anymore from him as a person, officiant and someone we can now call a friend. He personalized the ceremony and made it ours. He was patient, professional and understanding throughout the entire planning process. I highly recommend him to all brides and grooms. I promise you... your wedding will be YOUR wedding, he will not make it anything less than that. HE IS FABULOUS!!!!!

interchanged the names. Well, not only did I get to see you while I was the Maid of Honor for my best friend, but I feel privileged that you also married me and my husband. In each wedding, you truly captured the love, the personality and the essence of the relationship. I thank you for taking the time to meet with us, answer all of my questions that I had during the process, and for being so genuine on our special day. Thanks for sharing so much about your relationship and giving us your insight to a successful relationship. Bill and I are going to take you up on that dinner!

d Tom married us, and would recommend him to anyone. He made our ceremony so incredibly personal, and I don't think there was a dry eye among our guests. He is a natural at this! He truly helped make our wedding the biggest and happiest day of our lives.

the personalities of the bride and groom. I wish that I had known about Tom when I was planning my wedding…I will definitely be calling him for our renewal ceremony!

mony. He did everything exactly how we wanted. He spent time getting to know us in the months leading up to the ceremony, and really dug deep to learn about our relationship. He used what he learned about us to form the most personal, heart felt ceremony. He brought great suggestions to the table, all the while keeping our true vision in mind. We got married in October 2010, and people still tell me their favorite part of our wedding was the ceremony, and how personal it was celebrating my husband and I. I would recommend Tom to anyone who wants a truly genuine, personal, uplifting, and refreshing ceremony!

was locating an officiant who we could rely on and feel comfortable with. On our first phone conversation with Tom, we felt completely at ease with him and knew he understood the mood we wanted to convey for the ceremony. We had several conversations with him prior to the wedding and met him in person a week before the wedding. He really gets to know you as couple before the wedding and it really translates during the ceremony . As a couple, we probably had lot more questions than he was accustomed to but Tom was always gracious and patient with all our questions. As for the ceremony, I really can’t say enough; he was wonderful. He completely captured the love and affection my wife and I have for each other with just the perfect amount of humor. I actually had people ask me at the wedding if Tom had been a lifelong friend since he seemed to understand us so well during the ceremony. Thanks again Tom for being a part of our beautiful day.

t our ceremony. This was a tear jerker. Thank you to Thomas our day was better than we had imagined. You won't be disappointed if you choose this kind, wonderful man to marry you!
