Tom was the officiant for our wedding a few weeks ago and did a wonderful job! We got to know Tom through a couple calls and he was very respectful and emphasized that he wanted the ceremony to reflect our beliefs/relationship - which we really appreciated! We had total trust in Tom and he was very professional and personable at our ceremony. The process was very easy and he was already familiar with our venue and other vendors we were working with; it made the planning process super simple. He walked us through the process of obtaining/submitting our marriage license. He is super kind and you can tell he cares about his position as the officiant. We highly recommend Tom for anyone looking to get married in Sedona!! Thank you Tom!

Tom was so helpful in preparing our wedding ceremony! He provided templates to go off of and helped us customize our ceremony to fit with our wants. He was very professional and worked with our venue coordinator to ensure the rehearsal and wedding day went according to plan. It was a beautiful ceremony and I would highly recommend Tom to anyone getting married in the Sedona area!

We are so grateful to have had Tom as our wedding officiant! From the very first conversation, Tom was warm, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in getting to know us as a couple. ...
The ceremony he helped us create was perfect — personal, heartfelt, and beautifully delivered.
So many of our guests told us afterward how meaningful and memorable the ceremony was, and we completely agree. Tom provided a perfect balance of sincerity, joy, and intention, making the moment feel truly special and personal to us!
We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant and highly recommend Tom to anyone looking for someone who will make their ceremony unforgettable.

Tom was really great to work with. We decided to skip the traditional wedding route, and did a small elopement in Sedona with a few family members and friends, but we still wanted ...
to have elements of a religious ceremony. Tom made the drafting of the ceremony really easy for us - he shared several example script options with us (and we ended up pulling parts from his examples and added much of our own to it), as well as resources for writing vows. He also jumped on a video call with us to get to know us more and go over some of the religious parts he was unfamiliar with. Tom was very professional and we are so happy with how our ceremony turned out. Thank you for everything, Tom!

rporating our beliefs, hopes, and personality into our wedding ceremony at the Grand Canyon. Most of our guests commented on his heartfelt delivery, sense of humor and his presence. We felt that Tom was extremely sensitive to our unique needs, quite responsive to our messages and very professional and prepared. We thought he performed quite seamlessly. We truly appreciated his flexibility, listening skills and sense of humor when we had to pivot our ceremony due to a hotel fire alarm and a pending storm. (Epic!!) He was quite masterful at handling the unexpected. His warm, kind and calming demeanor helped to keep us all at ease, not only during the ceremony but also during our wedding planning process. In addition, many of our guests were truly impressed by the personal nature of Tom. We would not hesitate to give him our strongest recommendation in addition to our sincere Thanks.

em in person. Tom set up a zoom call for us to discuss exactly how we wanted the ceremony to go. He also sent templates to work from in case we didn’t want to completely write our own vows. This was really appreciated since my husband and I did a private vow reading so we were able to just use a template Tom provided for our big day! He was on time, super friendly and made me feel completely relaxed during our ceremony. If you’re looking for an officiant, he’s the one!

We highly recommend Tom Vitron, sedonaminister.org!! He is so personable and easy to communicate with. We were traveling from Texas to elope on 4/24/24 & Tom went out of his way ...
to bring his own chairs for my elderly mother & step-father in case they needed them as well as for our guests. I must have asked Tom 100 questions and he was very patient & kind. I felt as though I had known him my entire life and my, now husband, was very impressed with how Tom took so much time to make our wedding ceremony special with added touches and kind words about us. I love that he took the time to get to know us and that he also mentioned my adult children in the message, even though they weren't there, as he knew what that meant to me. I would highly recommend Tom Vitron and we hope to one day renew our vows and have Tom officiate again!! The fee was beyond reasonable for the experience and his professionalism!!
