Tom was great and made our day special! Everybody thought it was a perfect ceremony. It was meaningful but not drawn out. Exactly the way we wanted it to be. I would highly recommend Tom as an experienced weddingofficiate.

My (now) Husband Brett and I got married last weekend and had the pleasure of having Tom as our weddingofficiant! He was so sweet, thoughtful, professional, and funny. Everyone at our wedding complimented us on what a wonderful job he did and how personal he made our ceremony to us! We could not have been happier! If you are looking for a great officiant, please hire Tom! He is the best!

Tom was an incredible Officiant! He was great to work with, met with us as much as we needed, and gave us the guidance we needed to create a ceremony that was both special to us, and special for our family and guests. We really enjoyed working with him, and can confidently say he was one of the main factors of our wedding that made it as special as it was.

For some reason choosing a weddingofficiant was the toughest part of the planning process for us. We kept pushing the decision off until the day was getting pretty close. When we met Tom, we knew immediately just from his warm smile and energy that we found the one. Tom put together a beautiful ceremony for us that all our guests were very impressed with. Even though there were a few obstacles- rain diring our outdoor wedding and a very loud crowd of hotel guests that he had to talk over- he faced them with grace and humor and made the ceremony seamless and beautiful. It couldn't have gone better. Thank you Tom for making our day so wonderful! Our guests are still talking about how great he was.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have tried to make my pricing as simple and affordable as possible. $250 total, includes $50 non-refundable deposit to save the date, $200 cash day of the ceremony, preferably prior to the ceremony. I have been known to bid lower on small weekday ceremonies without need of rehearsals and pre- planning meetings
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to start with a face to face meeting with both bride and groom to get to know them a bit. I provide sample ceremonies that I have performed, and I also give a packet of selections to choose from. Once the couple has decided to hire me we start exchanging their selections and my arrangement of them into the ceremony. What we end up with is a truly one of a kind ceremony that family and friends will talk about for years to come.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I spent many years working for the church, and have assisted over 400 couples in planning their ceremony!
