Tim was amazing! We are a nonreligious couple looking for something special for the two of us, and Tim was perfect. What Tim provided was basically a civil ceremony but he added his own personal touch, adding a reading that related to my husband and I, and talking about how we met and personal things about our relationship. I would recommend him to anyone!
Tim, you are fantastic, and made our day extra special. Thank you!
As a lesbian couple, we weren’t planning to have a ceremony at all until I stumbled upon Tim’s site completely by accident. After talking to him we changed our minds very quickly. He is an extremely nice guy and very easy to work with. He really puts a lot of effort into making the ceremony very personal and making you feel comfortable. We couldn’t possibly be any happier.
Thank you so much Tim!

We were looking for a spiritual, not a religious ceremony, something personal and genuine. Tim delivered beautifully. He included nice details about our lives and how we met. We felt that his words were carefully chosen and eloquently spoken. He was very professional and easy to work with. We highly recommend him.
When I was looking for someone to do my wedding I felt like I wasn’t going to find the person to do it well, let alone do it the way I wanted. I’m still extremely thankful to this day that I came upon Tim’s website. Not only did he help out with what needed to be done but helped us stay calm while putting up with our horrible even coordinators mistakes.
The wedding talk he did for us was more than I could have ever asked for. I, as well as everyone there, were blown away to how well this was tailored to me and Irene and our lives. It captured our emotions of our relationship perfectly.
Everyone there that we asked about the ceremony all said that out of all the weddings they have ever been to, that was probably one of if not the best talks they have heard.
If I had a chance to do my wedding all over again – I will admit there would be some changes to how things were done. But choosing Tim as an officiant is one thing that would never change, and I will look back as one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. I highly recommend him to anyone else looking for something else than a basic, drab, copy and pasted wedding – done and heard to death. If you cannot afford for whatever reason, the money to hire him – take out a loan. You wont regret it.
Thank you Tim for a wonderful and a happy memory to look back on for the rest of my life. You did an awesome job, and I will always be grateful.
