Tim took the time to get to know us before performing our ceremony. We met with him in person and told him all about how we met, how we got engaged, and what we enjoy doing together. He put together a beautiful ceremony and had us read it beforehand to make sure we were happy with it. He explained to us how the ceremony would work and let us know what to expect. He is very friendly and made us feel very comfortable. He had great ideas for our ceremony to make it unique and personal. It was truly special and we couldn't be happier that we chose Tim to be our officiant!
Tim is a terrific wedding officiant! He created a beautiful ceremony with my daughter and new son-in-law that was tailored to their lives from the beginning of dating to their wedding day. He listened to their dating and friendship story and it showed through the whole ceremony and in their personal vows. They did a wine box ceremony where they write a special note to each other and place it in a handmade wine box and open it on their first year anniversary. We all signed the bottle at the rehearsal dinner and wedding guests also wrote on little note cards and added them to the box too. It was a wonderful idea. Thanks Tim! You made their wedding day perfect!
Tim was an absolutely amazing officiant. He was able to accommodate for the fact that we were getting married very far away from where we were living, which is something we appreciated tremendously. He met with us on Skype a few times to talk with us about how we met and what it was we were looking for on our special day; he wanted to take the time to get to know us and understand what brought us together and made us unique. He helped us to incorporate special touches to our ceremony that made it very personal and meaningful to us. Tim also has a terrific sense of humor and is easy to talk to. He made sure to inject some of his humor into his ceremony speech, and our guests really loved it! He not only helped us draft up the script for the ceremony, but he gave us some helpful tips and information about how certain things would happen during the ceremony itself. He also was able to help make some same-day fixes; we're very thankful for his flexibility, as it certainly made the whole event go much more smoothly! Tim was awesome, and we would very highly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant!
We could have not asked for a better officiant than Tim. He was great to work with as we were planning our ceremony and blended language barriers as well as cultural and religious differences seamlessly into one perfect ceremony. I've gotten many compliments on our ceremony since and am so glad I went with my gut! Hire Tim, you will not be disappointed.
Tim recently officiated our wedding ceremony. My wife and I couldn’t have been happier. We were fortunate to have our wedding coordinator, Betsy Lanning, put us in contact with Tim as a possible officiant. We scheduled a phone meeting with Tim and within in minutes, my wife and I knew we wanted to meet personally. At our meeting, Tim had a very personable and organic way of connecting with us as a couple. We all sat down at a table and started talking casually. The conversation was easy, and Tim didn’t make us feel like we were being interrogated for him to learn about us or our needs for the ceremony. From the time we met Tim to the day of the ceremony, he always responded promptly. On the day of our ceremony, he performed the ceremony perfectly. The ceremony was warm, sincere, and fun with moments of guest laughter during an outdoor wedding that was over 90 deg F. The complements we received at the reception and for weeks after were nothing but praise for our officiant and how personable he made our special day. Based on our short meeting with Tim and some additional emails, he personalized our non-denominational ceremony that was perfect for our beliefs and traditions. I could go on about what Tim did to personalize our wedding ceremony, but I highly recommend you just give him a call to discuss your needs. I guarantee you will get an honest, sincere, and real experience with him.
We were very happy to have chosen Tim as our wedding officiant! He worked with us to plan exactly how we wanted the ceremony to go and gave us a lot of great tips to make the ceremony memorable. Tim has great charisma and speaking skills, so your guests won't be bored to sleep. When wind unexpectedly knocked down a glass sign during our ceremony (startling everyone), he rolled with it and quickly had the guests laughing at the interruption. The ceremony was the easiest part of our wedding planning thanks to Tim, and we could not have been happier with how it turned out!
Tim was AMAZING! I was a little nervous about how I was going to pick an officiant but a friend recommended Tim and THANK GOODNESS SHE DID. From the first phone call, Tim put my mind at ease and assured me that he would be able to provide a personal and memorable ceremony. During our meeting, he got to know my husband and I and offered ideas on how to make our ceremony more unique and personal. If you want a memorable, unique, and all around perfect ceremony, Tim is your guy!
Tim was extremely easy to work with and made the whole process fun. He was very quick with returning calls and emails and from the first conversation we knew he was the right person to work with. Tim walked us through everything and helped us create a ceremony that matched our personalities. One of our favorite moments was when he read our lists of reasons we love each other. The guests loved Tim's energy and we got a ton of compliments on the ceremony throughout the night. I would highly recommend Tim!
Tim was the only officiant that we spoke with and as soon as we got off the phone with him, we knew he was the one and booked him immediately. We scheduled our in person meeting shortly after and when we met Tim in person, it felt like we already knew him. Tim was so easygoing, a great listener, and very helpful. He had our ceremony draft e-mailed to us the following day! Everything was spot on. He did a wonderful job telling our love story and making it feel like us. Tim was very responsive leading up to the wedding and answered all my questions in a timely manner. We felt extremely at ease and knew we were in good hands. The ceremony was so beautiful and Tim was such an excellent speaker. He really knew how to captivate the crowd while ensuring that we felt comfortable up there. We got such positive feedback from so many of our guests after the ceremony. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it as much as we did. I would 10/10 recommend Tim to anyone looking for an officiant. Booking Tim was truly our best decision!
Tim was the best choice we could have possibly made. My husband is in the military and Tim worked easily and efficiently with us through everything. He was kind, professional, and was a very good listener. I loved everything about the wedding ceremony, how there were no awkward moments, Tim was relatable and funny, he made it all about us, and he moved away at the end so we didn't have awkward kiss pictures. Such a great guy and a wonderful officiant. He handled all the paper afterwards too and made that very simple for us. Thanks for everything Tim!
Tim is the BEST! From the day that we met him at our initial planning meeting we knew that he was the right one for the job :) Tim made someone like me, who is very shy and not one to be the center of attention, feel comfortable before and during the ceremony. I've had so many compliments on him and have already recommended him to my friends! There were so many options of how to lay out our ceremony to make it "ours" and I appreciate his attention to detail. It was a great day, even in the rain!!
Working with Tim as our officiant was awesome. The first consultation we had with him, I knew that he was "the one." Compared to other officiants we met before him, it was actually fun! He asked questions involving our relationship first, to get to know us first and foremost. He also truly listened to what we wanted in our ceremony. I know this because it happened on the big day! During the ceremony, he did a great job engaging with the audience. The guests laughed quite a bit for a 12 minute ceremony! He also handles pressure very well. The weather on our wedding day dropped dramatically, putting our very outdoor ceremony underneath the gazebo. He told us beforehand that he would cut some parts out in order to shorten the ceremony, so our guests wouldn't completely freeze. I appreciated all the work he did to make our wedding go smoothly and perfectly!
Working with Tim was great. He is very personable and professional. Our initial consultation was fun and informal. We worked together to find the perfect ceremony for us as a couple. Our guests raved about the ceremony. Most weddings, the ceremony isn’t a highlight for a guest but our guests loved our ceremony. Most thought we’d known Tim for years because of how well he spoke about us. You can’t go wrong with Tim!
Tim did an amazing job with our ceremony. Everyone commented on what a great job he did. He is so organized, friendly, and helpful. Our guest thought we have known Tim for a long time, they were surprised to hear that we found Tim online.
We were lucky to have Tim as part of our ceremony. After the wedding, all of our guests mentioned how much they enjoyed the ceremony -- including the reading that Tim suggested. Tim was very responsive and also very helpful when it came to things outside of the ceremony, such as getting our marriage license. Would recommend him to anyone!
Tim officiated our wedding ceremony and he was fantastic! Despite us planning our ceremony from abroad, he still got to know my husband and I and our relationship details, and was able to write a beautiful and personalized ceremony. He also quickly responded to any questions we had and was completely flexible in any changes we had to the ceremony, so that it really felt like our own. As we had no idea what we wanted for a ceremony, Tim was extremely helpful in suggesting cute and unique ideas to add. He is a natural speaker and storyteller and also had an explanation about why we put the wedding ring on our ring finger that engaged our guests; with my friends telling me afterwards how they loved that. I can only highly recommend him!
When we were looking for a non-religious officiant, we wanted someone who would bring a sense of humor and creativity, but also keep some traditional elements. Tim was perfect for all of that and worked with us as much as we wanted to create a great ceremony that reflected our values and who we are as a couple. He suggested fun elements to add to our ceremony but always knew that it was our wedding and deferred to our choices. We still get compliments on how great our ceremony was. We highly recommend Tim.
Tim was the best!!! He was incredibly organized and professional leading all the way up to the ceremony. We had some uncertainty with out outdoor ceremony and rain the day of, but Tim rescued us with his advice and last minute changes to make it go off without a hitch! We seriously couldn't have asked for anyone better to lead us through that day and the months leading up to it.
Tim was the best officiant we could've asked for!! He was a great fit for us by helping us create the ceremony that we wanted. He gave us ideas that matched very well with who we are as individuals and as a couple. Tim was very approachable and all around a great person to work with. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and I don't doubt part of the reason why was because we had a wonderful ceremony that was handcrafted for us. :)

My husband and I are so happy we went with Tim as our officiant! During our wedding reception, so many people were coming up to us to tell us how much they loved our unique, modern ceremony. I booked Tim after I saw him as the officiant in my best friend’s wedding. One of my good friends now plans to book him for her wedding after seeing him at my wedding! Booking Tim was easy, as he was very responsive to our e-mails. After the initial phone call and 1 in-person meeting, Tim created the most incredible ceremony script for us. My wedding ceremony was so perfect. I highly recommend choosing Tim as your officiant.
I first saw Tim officiate a friend’s wedding in October 2016. I cried that entire ceremony because it was so personal and touching. When I got engaged myself, I knew that I wanted Tim to be the officiant for my own wedding. We spoke over the phone and he explained the entire process to myself and my fiance. We felt very comfortable with him throughout our year of communication, as he was extremely easy to work with and very responsive. We met with him in person closer to our wedding day (May 2018) to plan out the ceremony. It was clear he had done a lot of ceremonies before, so he was prepared for any and every type of customization we envisioned for our special day. He followed up within the next day with a full draft of our ceremony, and again I was in tears! Our guests raved about our ceremony and told us how beautiful it was. I am so glad we had Tim as part of our special day and I would highly recommend him as an officiant.
We chose Tim as our wedding officiant because he was personable, accommodating, and helpful. He listened to our version for our wedding ceremony and executed it perfectly. He helped us with our ceremony timeline and was very responsive. I would highly recommend him!
Tim was such a pleasure to work with! Tim responded right away to our e-mails and calls from the beginning! We were easily able to set up a meeting with him to discuss our ceremony and he picked up on what type of ceremony we were looking for right away. We went for a less traditional ceremony and he was awesome in accommodating our needs. He walked us through the whole ceremony and really put us both at ease. He had suggestions of what we could add to the ceremony to make it more personal, including a wine box which we both loved. Tim paid attention to details we had discussed and was so friendly/easy to get along with. Overall, I can't say enough great things about Tim. I am so incredibly happy that he was able to be our officiant for our special day. We are so thankful for you, Tim!
Tim was absolutely incredible. From our very first call to our recessional, Tim showed that he truly cared about us. Tim's ceremony was heartfelt and included personal touches that made the ceremony ours. Family and friends came up to us after the ceremony telling us it was the best ceremony they had ever seen. Most people assumed that Tim had known us for a very long time, which I believe is due to how hard Tim works to get to truely know the essence of the couple and what is important to them. I highly recommend Tim for your ceremony
Tim was an amazing officiant. We were looking for a unique ceremony since both of our families come from different religious backgrounds. We wanted something spiritual and unique to our combined beliefs. He was able to completely customize our ceremony to fit us, and also tell our love story. While I'm sure he's great at generic services as well, the best thing about working with him was the effort he put into making ours the opposite of generic. I would recommend him to anyone!
My wife and I absolutely loved Tim. Tim is like no other officiant you will find in the DMV. He is warm, caring, and truly dedicated to his craft in a way that makes the bride and groom feel secure and comfortable in their choice from the very beginning. He’s thorough and knowledgeable in explaining every important detail and helping the bride and groom prepare for the ceremony. We loved the way he really got to know us, so that no part of the ceremony felt canned. He’s got the perfect amount of humor, and the right spirit for the job. Having Tim officiate your ceremony will hands down ensure it is every bit of the perfect moment you imagine it to be. Don’t know where to begin? Choose Tim and let him guide your way. - chad & Kelsey
Tim was absolutely incredible!! He was so accommodating to what we wanted in our ceremony. He sat down and really got to know us as a couple, and the background of our relationship. We decided to write our own vows, and both sent them to him individually for him to provide feedback (to make sure my husband and I were both on the same page). We wanted our ceremony to be fun yet spiritual, and Tim was able to incorporate both! I cannot thank him enough for everything he did for and with us!! Our guests continue to talk about how unique and fun our ceremony was! We could not have done it without him! I would definitely reccommend him to anyone looking for an officiant!!!
Tim officiated our wedding in March 2018. He did a great job and we really enjoyed working with him. We talked with him on the phone initially, and then met with him in person so that we could get to know each other and talk through ideas for the ceremony. That evening, he sent us a first draft of the ceremony which was so beautiful, it actually made me tear up a little! He really personalized the ceremony for what we wanted and included our 'love story' of how we met. He had a lot of recommendations for things we never would have thought of. After the ceremony, so many of our guests told us how much the enjoyed the ceremony. The father of the bride even announced it was the best ceremony he had ever been to. We even had one or two people ask how long we had known Tim, because he came across as a friend and not a hired officiant. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant!
Thanks to Tim, our wedding ceremony could have not been more wonderful. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how unique, personalized, and fun the ceremony was! Tim is confident, responsive, professional, friendly, easy to work with, and knows exactly what he's doing. My husband and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Tim for anyone looking for a personalized and fun wedding ceremony!
Tim was amazing! After the ceremony everyone kept making comments on how they loved our officiant (Tim). They loved how he was able to personalize the ceremony, including how he put his own personality into the ceremony. How he incorporated both of my husband and I into everything he said. It was the perfect mixture of funny and sentiment. Throughout the whole process Tim was there for any questions we had or concerns, he was extremely helpful and responsive. Tim really helped to give us the ceremony we wanted! Our friends and family are still talking about the ceremony and it is something my husband and I will cherish forever!
We could not say more great things about Tim! We really had no idea where to start in creating our ceremony and Tim helped us making it special, fun, and unique to us. After the ceremony many of our guests told us that they enjoyed the ceremony and thought Tim was a great officiant as well! We are so glad Tim conducted our ceremony for us!
Tim was amazing! Guests of all sorts of different beliefs and backgrounds told us it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever attended! This is because Tim had a magical way of putting our guests at ease. The way he told our love story and weaved in wedding rituals really excited our guests. Tim's ceremony set the tone for the rest of the night... fun, laid back, and full of love. Tim totally got us... who we are individually and as a couple. Guests that only knew just myself or just my husband really appreciated this and felt close to both of us after witnessing Tim's ceremony.
Best officiant ever! We meet with Tim once and it was like we had known him forever! He stayed connected with us throughout the entire process and emailed us of the drafts that he completed. Tim even visited us both just before the ceremony to check in with us and remind us of how the ceremony would be. He had great suggestions for the ceremony and was very knowledgeable and flexible.
The ceremony was amazing! He was a great combination of funny and serious and represented us perfectly! It honestly was like he was part of the family an had known us all of our lives. Our guests felt the same. All they said during the ceremony (and still 1 month after the wedding) is how he really portrayed our love for one another and our families. Each person thought that he was a great combination of funny and serious. If you are looking for someone that is able to capture your personalities and love you share, Tim is definitely the best person for that!
Matt and I can not say enough about how Tim. He was so responsive to our requests, even after the wedding. We had asked him to send us a copy of the ceremony for grandparents that were unable to make it and he got it to us ASAP. I don't know where to begin with the ceremony. To say it was awesome, would be an understatement. It was extremely personalized to us. I felt like Tim took our meeting with him and totally captured who we are as a couple. I loved the wine ceremony. We had so many compliments about the ceremony, which is saying something since we were the 3rd couple to get married in the family the last 5 months. Our guests told us that they loved how eloquently Tim spoke and it seemed so natural. They loved how the ceremony flowed and was about us. Seriously, Tim is the best! Thank you!
Tim is awesome! We got so many compliments on our ceremony and Tim. He’s light and funny, has great suggestions and is very responsive! If I could give him more than 5 stars, I would.
Tim is awesome! One of the best decisions we made. He's so easy to talk to, and made our ceremony absolutely perfect for us! Tim is so highly recommended!
We could not be happier with our decision to have Tim officiate our wedding ceremony. What a personal, authentic experience. Tim took time to meet with us in person, and as we talked, it didn’t feel so much like an interview for a wedding vendor, but more like catching up with an old friend. We so appreciated Tim’s laid-back, authentic personality, and we felt completely confident in our decision as we left that first meeting. We chatted via email multiple times leading up to the wedding, and Tim provided the perfect balance of guidance and freedom when it came to choosing the outline and rituals for our ceremony. He had excellent suggestions for how to incorporate spirituality to honor our parents (who are more religious) with a non-denominational prayer, while also keeping with our vision for a non-religious ceremony. The day of our wedding, Tim came and found both my husband and I before the ceremony to touch base with each of us and assure us that everything was ready to go. We absolutely LOVED our ceremony! As soon as it was finished, more guests approached us to tell us how much they loved our officiant and ceremony than to congratulate us! They (and we!) loved how personal and intimate it was, while still remaining fun and lighthearted. He captured our personalities and love story perfectly, and we wouldn’t change a thing. We highly recommend Tim for a completely personalized ceremony experience filled with love!
We cannot say enough about how perfect our wedding ceremony was! Tim was an AMAZING person for the job. From the very beginning, he was nothing but helpful and he took away any stress we had about our wedding ceremony. We first met with Tim just a few months before our wedding, and he got to know us really quickly. Later that night he sent us a draft of our ceremony and it was so perfect already. He gave us so much information and ideas that we hadn't heard of, and he catered everything about our ceremony to meet our personalities and our relationship. He was very easy to work with for our minor tweaks from there, and was extremely responsive to all of our emails and answering all of our questions. Then came time for our wedding and he totally exceeded all of our expectations. Nearly every one of our guests came up to us after the wedding saying how truly touching our ceremony was, and how we knew Tim! He really brings a great presence to the day, and truly feels like family by the end. Look no further, you have found the perfect officiant in the DMV.
Tim is really the best! You cannot go wrong with him. We contacted his old company (not knowing) to hire him and they said he was not available. They didn't tell us he left the company. Out of luck we randomly found him on wedding wire and realized it was the same Tim that we tried to hire at the other company. Winning! You'll have a phone call with Tim before you contract with him. The call was short and sweet. Tim was professional but casual. He was well spoken, friendly, and charismatic. Just what we needed in an officiant. Then you'll set up a one hour face to face meeting with him to discuss the ceremony. He'll send you some materials to look at before the wedding. It's not crucial that you look at them in detail before the meeting. I skimmed it before the meeting. Tim came to the meeting very prepared (good thing because we were not) and walked us through everything. He'll provide suggestions, tips, and ideas on how to make the ceremony special. We did a list of things we loved about each other that were sent to Tim before the wedding. We did not know each other's list and that made it even more special. Day of the wedding: Tim delivered. He was personable, friendly, articulate, and comforting. Our guests are still talking about how personable and special our ceremony was. Tim's suggestions on how to make the ceremony more about us and not so generic was a great touch. HIRE HIM!
Tim was amazing to work with! He responded to all our emails/calls very quickly, was attentive, and personalized our ceremony to make it our own! We are so happy we chose Tim to marry us. He made the whole process easy and put together a beautiful ceremony that our guests raved about. Everyone absolutely loved our "5 things" lists we loved about each other that was read during our ceremony and our wine box. I have been to those drawn out lackluster ceremonies but ours was not one of them. Choose Tim as your Officiant and you will not regret it!
Tim officiated our wedding on Sept 9, 2017 and we could not have been happier. We were looking for someone to do a non-religious ceremony for us that was both lighthearted but appropriately reverent where it needed to be. We found Tim online, and after speaking with him on the phone, we could tell his philosophy on doing ceremonies was exactly what we were looking for. We met with him, discussed the process and ceremony in more detail, and based on that meeting and subsequent emails and info, he put together a great ceremony. He gave us a lot of suggestions based on his experience, and was very receptive to the ideas and things we wanted to incorporate. My husband and I (and our guests) liked that he also asked us to come up with 6 or 7 things that we love about the other to incorporate into the ceremony... and to not let the other see the 6 or 7 things that we came up with. These were a nice personal touch to the ceremony that we looked forward to hearing, and in our case, they added a little bit of humor. We were very happy with Tim and would recommend him to anyone!
Tim performed an amazing ceremony; He was with us from start to finish, always available and pleasant. His website has plenty of resources, like readings and vows that can be used for the ceremony
Tim did a great job officiating our ceremony!
We enjoyed meeting him and discussing our relationship story several months before the wedding. Tim captured what was most important to us and worked with us to create a ceremony that really reflected our relationship and what we love about each other.
During the ceremony Tim was engaged with the audience while subtly guiding us whenever we needed. The ceremony was special and heartfelt but also fun. We got lots of compliments from friends and family!
We would absolutely recommend Tim as an officiant!
We absolutely loved working with Tim! He helped us to create a beautiful ceremony that truly represented us and our relationship. While there was not a dry eye in the house during our ceremony, it was also filled with light-hearted humor; Tim did a great job of truly nailing it. He was sincere, and took a genuine interest in getting to know us and our relationship. We have received several comments about how great he was and that our ceremony was the best any of our guests have ever attended. We would absolutely, highly recommend Tim!
Tim did an exceptional job with our wedding ceremony. He met with us beforehand to discuss the kind of ceremony we were looking for, and came up with the perfect ceremony tailored to what we wanted. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant, during the reception we received constant feedback from our guests on how great of a job Tim did.
Tim is such a pleasure to work with. Picking someone to perform you ceremony can be a daunting task but from our first phone call I knew he was the one for us! He really got to know my husband and I and rook all that knowledge and wrote and performed such a beautiful ceremony! I can be super picky and he rolled right along with any questions or changes i had. I wedding would not have been the same if he hadn't officiated it. Thank you Tim!
Tim was extremely personable and knowledgeable. We had pre-wedding coordination meeting where Tim walked us through numerous options on ways we could conduct our ceremony. He offered an array of suggestions that pretty much answered any questions we had. He is a very kind and emotionally generous person that felt like a friend during the execution of our ceremony. I would totally recommend Tim to anyone who is looking for a funny, friendly, and experienced officiant! Thanks again!!!
Seriously folks, do you want a memorable ceremony with a easy-going, friendly officiant? Pick Tim! He provided step-by-step, professional guidance along with several different ideas to make our ceremony special and uniquely "us."
Tim was an absolute pleasure to work with and made our wedding feel truly ours. Wedding ceremonies can be complicated, especially when you are considering families and individuals of different faiths. Tim was quickly put all of our concerns at ease and reminded us that the wedding ceremony should feel right for us more than anything, but also show our gratitude and happiness in sharing with our loves ones. He had excellent ideas in mind (you can tell he has seen it all!) and was able to customize a ceremony that felt personal, special, and pleased everyone in the family.
What really sets Tim apart from other officiants we considered is his flexibility. He truly took the time to get to know us, what we had in mind, and made helpful suggestions. He never hesitated to make tweaks or changes to the ceremony as needed, and always followed up quickly to my emails. Throughout the entire process, he has been thoughtful, reliable, and enjoyable to communicate with. I can already tell, without having been to any of the other weddings he has officiated, that none of his ceremonies are ever the same. He really listens to you and tailors the experience with you in mind - what more could anyone ask for during their wedding ceremony!?
We received so many compliments from our guests about the ceremony, Tim knew just how to create the right combination of personal, intimate, and unique, but also mixed it up with fun and humor to bring some light and happiness to a very emotional day. I am so happy we got Tim on our special day, and I'm sure that every bride and groom he has worked would say the same. If you got Tim - you got the best!
No words could express how professional Tim was during, and in preparation for, our special day. After our first meeting, we knew he was a perfect fit. Tim was very communicative and responsive throughout the entire process from taking the time to meet with us and understand our personalities and preferences, helping us decide what elements to include in our ceremony, up to helping us decide on arrival times and where we should stand at our non-traditional alter! He did a phenomenal job calming down my wife and even myself, reassuring us at every step, and making sure that our ceremony was perfectly tailored to our personalities and preferences. He added some spiritual elements to our ceremony that we had requested and welcomed as he had additional ideas, all while being incredibly inclusive and open to our ideas. He is incredibly well versed and a skilled professional - it seemed like he could do just about anything!. Our families and guests loved him, ESPECIALLY the part of our ceremony where he asked everyone to close their eyes and to be in the moment and present with a brief wait/hold - mindfulness and presenteeism was big for us, and thanks to Tim's tactful delivery of this it was well received by our guests - even in 95° weather! Tim helped us create the perfect atmosphere for our ceremony - positive energy, calm demeanor, personable with guests, and he made us feel like he's known us for years! We would highly recommend Tim to anyone as we could not have asked for a better officiant! If you're looking for an officiant, look no further - reach out to Tim now! He'll design the perfect ceremony for you all while making the process fun and engaging.
Tim performed a wonderful and personal ceremony for us. He was in close contact with us throughout the process from start to finish and was responsive to our emails, calls and texts. Tim worked closely with us to make it unique and memorable. He really took the time to get to know us as a couple and what we wanted on our wedding day. Our ceremony was touching, meaningful and funny. My guests thought it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to and offered many compliments about him! We highly recommend Tim.
My husband and I were so grateful to find Tim after deciding against our previous officiant - with only 1 week until the wedding. Tim made time to meet with us in person and really got to know us. He led us through planning the ceremony and suggested ways to make it more unique and personal.
Tim was so awesome!! From the very first meeting we had with him to get to know each other we felt so comfortable! He was very quick to respond to any e-mails and was helpful with tips. Our ceremony was very personalized (which my husband and I were looking for) and we can thank Tim for some of the personal touch ideas he gave. I would recommend Tim to anyone looking for an awesome and interactive officiant! :)
My son was married at the Ospreys at Belmont Bay on June 3, 2017. Tim was the officiant and he was beyond perfect! The suggestions he made for the ceremony, the personal touches he added throughout and the way he personalized every word he said was incredible. He had everyone’s rapt attention throughout the entire ceremony. I had no idea that someone we don’t even know, could capture the true feelings of love and admiration my son and his future wife have for each other. The ceremony was so beautiful because he somehow “captured” them as a couple. I can’t even explain it – you had to be there 😊. Many of our guests came to me after the ceremony and said they had never seen or heard such a beautiful ceremony. They all LOVED the wine box tradition that he introduced. My son and his new wife have taken that tradition seriously and I hope it will be a part of their lives for many years. Tim, if you see this review I want you to know that you made a huge impact on the entire experience. My son and his wife will never forget you or their ceremony. I spent a ton of money on all kinds of things for the wedding. Tim was worth every penny and then some. Heartfelt thanks!
Tim was wonderful! He was very quick to respond to our (many) questions and was incredibly helpful aiding us tailor our wedding. We first contacted Tim with less than two weeks before our wedding date and he was able meet with us and offer great suggestions to personalize our ceremony. He had suggestions on vows, readings, personalized touches and was an invaluable part of getting us from lost lovebirds scrambling to put a wedding together to happily married newlyweds. He was very knowledgeable and personable and despite the unseasonable heat was able to stay positive and absolutely wonderful. I had family members ask me how long we had known Tim assuming that we had been old friends.
I couldn't recommend Tim any higher. He was professional, personable and a genuinely great person.
Tim was such an amazing officiant. He sat down with us and let us tell him what we wanted out of a ceremony, gave us amazing suggestions, and really helped us personalize our ceremony. He was very responsive to our emails. I would definitely recommend him!
Time was fantastic. He’s a very likeable person, and is a great speaker. He’s done this enough times before that he knew exactly what to ask us, and had a good awareness of how we felt. He guided us through the entire process. Our wedding was on the national mall, requiring several permits, and while we thought it was strange, he’s done plenty of them and knew exactly what was needed. Tim replied to our messages extremely promptly with all the information we needed. In fact we were the ones that were procrastinating, and he was helpful in letting us know as deadlines approached for our vows and such. My wife’s family speaks Spanish, and he suggested he perform some of the ceremony in Spanish. Our guests loved the unique parts of the ceremony that he used our stories to spin an amusing anecdotes around, and it was great to see people smile, cry, and laugh during our short ceremony. I would recommend Tim to anyone. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have questions.
Tim was so wonderful from the moment we first spoke and met. He is extremely genuine, kind-spirited, and open to all ideas and beliefs. My husband and I highly recommend him for anybody seeking an unforgettable ceremony. We had countless comments from guests about how much they loved the service and it even inspired a couple to renew their vows. Many thanks, Tim!
Tim was beyond wonderful. He created a Ceremony that exceeded our expectations. Several drafts were written and revised until everyone was comfortable. Tim also went as far as to integrate a surprise during the Ceremony, AND infused a non-traditional vow and ring exchange at our behest. It was a lovely day for a wedding, and Tim made it extra special. Thank you Tim, for celebrating our Special Day!
Tim gave us the best ceremony! He listened to what we wanted, what we didn't want and found a way to create a personalized ceremony that fit us and was really appreciated by our guests. We've gotten tons of compliments!
He created a beautiful and touching ceremony that pulled at heart strings, was fun for us as well as those who attended and gave us some options to work with since we didn't know exactly what we were looking for. He found a way to incorporate really personal touches and suggested ideas we hadn't seen before to make our ceremony really meaningful to us. Everyone from grandparents to our friends enjoyed the ceremony and thought Tim was a great speaker too! I highly recommend him for your wedding!
