Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant

ing into the ceremony that he would capture our relationship perfectly. It was wonderful to know we were in good hands! Tim listened to what we wanted for our wedding day and delivered flawlessly. On the day of the wedding, with all the craziness going on, Tim is there to tell you exactly what to do and you don’t even have to think. We can’t recommend him enough.

for our wedding. Tim did just that and more. Not only did he curate a lovely ceremony for me and my husband, he was able to integrate the most important aspects of our life and painted a beautiful picture of our relationship for our friends and family.  He did such an amazing job for our non-traditional wedding (neither of us are religious but he will include whatever you want or don’t want). We received so many compliments from our guests and Tim is not only an awesome officiant, he is truly a positive, kind, and caring individual who is amazing at helping people celebrate their love as they embark on this next step in their journey. Tim Greathouse is incredible!

riend who knew us all along. Later on he shared with me our vows, which made for a nice anniversary surprise to my husband. Thank you Tim for such a lovely celebration!

d everything we wanted and nothing we did not. His tattoos are awesome and so is his beard! Could not have had a better experience, unless he became our friend!

ishes and different points of view. Tim was funny and conversational throughout our whole ceremony. We had numerous people ask us if he was a personal friend! (We had only just met him in person the night before!) He kept the flow of the ceremony moving along in a tremendous story-like manner and captivated everyone's attention thourhgout. We received so many compliments on his service!!

perience and keeping us calm in the moment and not nervous on the ceremony. I can not recommend Tim enough to any looking you will not be disappointed.

d the things he said and how he added our words to the ceremony, you would have thought we had been friends for years! Definitely recommend him for anyone getting married, super friendly and stand up guy!

he had been our friend for years despite only meeting/speaking a handful of times before the wedding. We also appreciated that there weren't additional fees for the rehearsal, readings, etc. like we found with other potential officiants. Tim was one of the first vendors we booked and if we had to do it all over again, I can guarantee we would still pick him!

e was able to personalize our ceremony so well that you would have actually thought he’s known us for years. we still get so many compliments from our guests on what an amazing job Tim did. Tim made us both feel so at ease when all eyes were on us. He is genuine and kind and trust worthy. We are so very thankful that we booked Tim. If you’re on the fence - i would say absolutely go with Tim. He will give you a ceremony you and your guests will never forget.

way he worked everything we requested into the ceremony and made it flow beautifully was just perfect. Seriously if you are looking for the very best out there, you have found the one!

ng, Tim communicated well and was very responsive. He had everyone laughing at our rehearsal dinner. The day of our wedding, I arrived late to the venue and was stressed! Tim immediately saw me and asked if there was anything I needed and cracked a few jokes to calm my nerves. This is what Tim does, he is cool, calm, and collected if things get chaotic. Our guests even complimented Tim! Book him for your officiant, I promise you will not be disappointed!

wedding ourselves. It was a very small gathering with no wedding party. Due to some health problems, we were behind the curve leading up to the big day. Tim took it in stride and still managed to craft us a touching, personalized ceremony. He asked for a lot of history up front and seemed to know just how to get the right info out of us. It's been over three years and I just came across the pre-work my husband provided Tim a couple weeks ago, buried on his desk – so sweet it made me cry. He also found us a great bagpipe player on short notice! But it was on the day of ceremony that Tim truly shined. We came from across the country by car to be married near family. Super hectic and we ended up late to our own wedding. Naturally, my husband had an anxiety attack in the parking lot. Tim says to me “don't worry - I'm like human valium. I got this.” And he did! We didn't have a rehearsal, so this was the first time they had ever met. I don't know what he said or did, but Tim helped him pull it together and get his breathing back to normal. He got through the rest of the day super chill. We forgot the handfasting cord. No worries – Tim reworked the ceremony on the spot. And it was a beautiful. So much better than if we had tried to hammer out the details ourselves. I don't remember exactly what was said, but I do remember being delighted and seeing the joy on our guests' faces as he told our story. Our wedding day could’ve - even should’ve – been a disaster. And while our family was super supportive, I don't think we could've gotten through it without Tim. His flexibility, kindness, enthusiasm, and valium-like demeanor were exactly what we needed. He's an absolute beacon of light and love - so nice to be around that we wanted to bring him to the reception. We haven't seen him since, but we'll always see him as a friend. Thank you for the wonderful memories, Tim!

. He was so supportive (I was so nervous) and he was so so so patient with me. He always answered, and reached out with his questions when he needed to. As for his whole ceremony he put together… it was perfect. It was the perfect mix of happy and cute as well as funny and inspiring. He had my guests in tears when he shared our responses to his question “why do you want to marry one another”. I would hire him again in a heartbeat, and I can’t thank him enough for making my ceremony as beautiful as he did. Professional, outstanding, and one heck of a great officiant.

I highly recommend Tim!! We can’t say enough good things about him.

more compliments than Tim. To a person, everyone told us what a great job he did, and how enjoyable the ceremony was. My wife and I had no intention to get emotional during the ceremony, but as soon as I saw her, we both almost did. Tim was ready to go with a quite one-liner or joke to keep us loose and laughing, which was exactly what we wanted. No tears were shed! If you're getting married, Tim is the way to go.

above and beyond. Even joined us with his feet in the sand! He made us feel welcome, special, and loved. I could not have asked for a better person to officiate our wedding. Thank you so much, Tim. We’ll never forget you! -The Everharts

knows how to present all the information you give him, and knows how to keep the bride and groom relaxed. Tim has an amazing sense of humor which compliments his warm and professional presence. We loved his addition to our wedding, and our guests continue to rave about Tim! He is such a wonderful human being we wanted him to stay with us for the dinner and reception!

m the crowd. He was Amazing! All my guests told me how much they loved him afterwards. And my DJ and photographer were even complimenting my pick of Tim as my officiant. He was Amazing!

tructions during the rehearsal and we felt very prepared. He even gave me a tip to press my tongue to the roof of my mouth to hold back from getting choked up, which I used on the wedding day with success. We chose to do call and response vows, but Tim also will read out your responses to "why do you want to marry your spouse" during the ceremony which is extremely moving. He is booked and busy, contact him ASAP if you need an excellent atheist/ non-secular officiant!

ld reasonably do both. Thankfully, everything worked out! We were to able to reach him easily between booking and the ceremony. My husband and I have only been wedding guests a handful of times so had no clue what to expect. Tim answered any and all questions we had and created a beautiful, personalized, moving, yet succinct ceremony. There were laughter and tears perfectly timed. It really felt like a friend was up there with us! He made sure to check in with us before the ceremony to sign our marriage license, give last minute reminders and answer any questions. If we had to do everything over again, we would definitely make sure Tim could be a part of our wedding day!

hire Tim! You will NOT be disappointed.

eremony and he improvised with ease. I highly recommend.

nal and romantic. He was funny when he needed to be but also serious when it was necessary. All around, best officiant and best experience. 10/10 highly recommend for anyone looking for something a little less traditional!

essional and kind manner. Prior to the wedding, Tim was responsive every step of the way (e.g., calling me within the hour I sent an inquiry online and when I had multiple questions in the weeks leading up to the wedding). His questionnaire is easy to complete and allows for many opportunities to share your personal interests. He also provided a list of his top 10 readings for us to review, which was extremely beneficial for us! At the rehearsal, Tim took the time to ensure all details were accurate, provided clear instructions for the wedding party/us, and led the group with a wonderful kindness and confidence. At the wedding, Tim was exceptional. The ceremony highlighted our personal interests, provided meaningful moments, and controlled the crowd in such a pleasant way. He adapted to last minute changes easily and without adding any additional stress. Multiple guests of the wedding assumed that we had been friends with him for years! He honestly made the ceremony special, which was the perfect start to our marriage! After the wedding, Tim took care of all the details relating to the marriage license and we did not encounter a single problem! So, to say we would recommend Tim is an understatement! We wish him all the best!

nning process with Tim was fantastic. Along every step he made us feel so at ease about our ceremony. The ceremony was so personal to us and delivered exceptionally. He paid attention to all of our answers in the questionnaire and talked about our relationship as though he was a close friend. Throughout the whole time he checked in with us and helped calm our nerves. He brought our guests to tears and laughter and we got so many compliments on the ceremony from our family and friends. I cannot recommend Tim highly enough!

mony. He was very easy to reach by text (if needed) as well. He provided deals on his services, and he uses Venmo and other payment options. When it came to the day of operations, Tim was very easy going. Thank goodness, because we planned our details from a distance. We literally met Tim in person for the first time on our wedding day. I had about 10 different people taking to me at once when Tim was trying to explain what the heck we were about to do. He maintained his professionalism and calm through it all and led us graciously throughout the ceremony. We received a variety of compliments from our families on his actual ceremony. He included a special acknowledgement of my father, and he brought a good deal of lighthearted humor overall with his words. I appreciated that about him a lot. My husband was very adamant we have a secular, brief ceremony, and Tim delivered on that. My husband, and my family members were grateful. Overall, I highly recommend Tim. He is a professional and straightforward man. You can trust him to perform a beautiful ceremony for you on your special day!

d makes the ceremony so much better. My wife and I were fortunate to have a videographer, and we cannot wait to rewatch the ceremony over and over again. Do yourself a favor, and book Tim! He will not disappoint!!

o thankful and grateful that Tim was our officiant. I guess it could be summed up by the quote “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” We felt like Tim had known us for years (all of our guests asked about this) when he spoke at our wedding - and I think that might be my favorite part about our day - we FELT and our guests FELT the love, and Tim perfectly expressed this. Full disclosure : I found Tim on the internet 2 months before my ceremony and spoke to him a handful of times. He was calm and professional, and made us feel at ease during the process. I had no idea the difference Tim would make on making our wedding a truly personal and enjoyable experience. We highly recommend Tim as a wedding officiant; you will not be disappointed!

etter officiant!!

e does! We laughed and smiled and cried through the ceremony and had so many compliments from our guests! He worked in our love of bourbon with the perfect wording for our blending. We recommend Tim for your special day!

tomatically tell he has a passion for what he does as he explains the run down of how the ceremony will go. He even asked one of our family members to translate in Spanish because half of our family is Puerto Rican which really helped because the grooms step mother only knows Spanish, so she was able to connect with the ceremony. When there was a clash of timing and the groom arrived while I (the bride) was still setting up, he shielded me from my husband so he wouldn't see me before the wedding 😂

tell my wife and I were nervous during our ceremony with everybody in the audience looking at us and Tim did an incredible job at easing our nerves. Would recommend him 10/10 times to anyone no matter what type of ceremony they may be after. Thanks for everything Tim!!!

and reminding us of anything we needed regarding officiant details. He was very punctual, friendly and easy to work with. His process for booking, paying etc is super easy and seamless. He attended both our rehearsal and wedding. 10/10 - Thanks Tim

t thank him enough for de-escalating our stress before the ceremony; he was very intuitive, conversational and Billy was especially grateful to have him by his side before the processional began. The ceremony was so personal, thoughtful and just the right length! We had a blast filling out his survey, it was a great way to reflect on our relationship, and it allowed him to make our ceremony totally about us and our relationship, which is exactly what we wanted! We got so many compliments on our ceremony – we were seriously blown away by it. We didn’t realize how amazing it would be to hear it for the first time on our wedding day, and we wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. Everything was perfect!

e time to make sure he got it exactly how we'd like it. Would definitely recommend!!!

o marry us. Our relationship is corky and lively. We wanted our ceremony to be about us and our amazing love story, leaving religion and other traditional ceremony rituals aside. Tim did exactly that. He was able to take our questionnaires, our stories and our conversations, and tailor them into a beautifully worded and delivered presentation. He has a way with words, and his deliverance of those words is captivating and engaging. Tim also has this superpower of being able to calm your nerves; he just senses it. He was able to mute his mic in certain areas of the ceremony and just speak directly to us. This allowed us not to feel uneasy or uptight. We were able to escape from our nerves and concentrate on the exchange- like it was just us three there. Tim also was very punctual, very natural and genuine with his words and with our guests, and truly enjoys his profession. We could sit and talk with Tim for hours; he's a great guy, real great guy! Thank you Tim, for making our day perfect. We will see you soon!

time.

etely understandable. But have common decency to let prospective clients know that.

th getting in contact from time to time due to some of Tim's personal issues but he came through for us in the end! He even re-arranged his schedule to make it to our rehearsal when our venue changed the time on us. I would definitely recommend Tim!

for. We knew we wanted a serious, but laid back ceremony that reflected our personalities. My husband & I met with Tim two times prior to our wedding & he performed our ceremony as if he knew us for years. He made sure we both knew exactly what we were to be doing during our ceremony & put our mind at ease. As well as guiding us throughout the entire ceremony. We still are getting compliments on our wedding ceremony. Many wedding guests said our ceremony was most beautiful ceremony they have seen because it was personalized to us! We are so thankful to Tim for providing us with such a beautiful ceremony we will cherish forever! Honestly, he is the BEST, so book him if you want a ceremony to remember!!

yone else officiate our wedding!

. Our experience was nothing like that. Tim took the time to get to know us and gave us a truly beautiful ceremony. We got so many compliments on it for being such a unique ceremony as well. Even my conservative relatives remarked on how wonderful it was. I was very impressed with his professionalism and the fact that he was so laidback, it was hard for me to get worked up about anything. Definitely would recommend him!!

he does... and boy is he good at it. He was not able to attend our rehearsal but was able to provide us with enough information to feel at ease that night. And going into the day of the wedding, he was great. Very relaxed, very reassuring and very impressive. I had many compliments on the ceremony and would agree completely. He added every little detail i asked for while still makign the ceremony flow well. He added a few light hearted touches with the mic stopped working. he had people laughing and crying and smiling out of happiness for us. He added special personal touches and just did an amazingly wonderful job. i could not have asked for a better officiant!! I would recommend him to anyone!

is always willing to answer questions and offer advice. Even in the chaos of the hours before the wedding, he had us laughing and relaxed. Our ceremony was PERFECT. It was everything we wanted and more. The most common comment I have heard from guests since the wedding is "Where did you find your officiant?? He is awesome!" and I strongly, strongly agree! Best decision we made in the planning process!

and added his own kind of flair to it, which was perfect. My husband and I are not religious, so we wanted to leave anything of the sort out of it, but did not know how to go about that. Tim gave great suggestions and helped all the way through. Only downside is that we wished we could have gotten to know him better and hang out with him for longer! :)

wledgeable and super easy to work with and bounce ideas off of. By the time your wedding is over you feel like you have gained another friend! During the ceremony he kept my husband and I engaged (the whole experience is such a whirl wind!), and our entire audience laughing and crying. He listened to exactly what we wanted and delivered just that.

ing and symbolism, and tailored to fit us perfectly! I would most definitely recommend Tim to anyone who wants their wedding ceremony to embody who the couple is.

phone, e-mail, or Facebook. The ceremony was incredibly personal. Tim really made the ceremony about us and our journey as a couple. We chose the non-traditional vows that he offers, which were just perfect! They were modern and felt so meaningful. Tim made us feel like we were the only ones in the room while speaking our vows to one another. The ceremony was my husband's favorite part of the day, and if he gives the stamp of approval, you know it must be good! Highly, highly recommended!

else. We also got to write our own vows which is very special to us. I remember him making both of us cry and laugh in a 15-20 min. span. I received so many compliments on him and I wouldn't have changed my decision ever. I just can't wait for the video to come to I can watch it again and relive the beautiful moment he helped create.

ing the ceremony!

perfect. he was able to understand what made our relationship so perfect to us. To understand it, without experiencing it must take a great deal of emotional aptitude and empathy. Those things are hard to come by in a person. And I will always be grateful that we managed to find him!
