Fantastic Wedding Officiant

We had heard great things about Tim Pollard at Great Tennessee Officiants, and we arranged with him to be the officiant for my daughter's recent wedding. We cannot be more happy with that decision. Tim was very supportive throughout my daughter's planning and he did a marvelous job at the ceremony. He is so genuine and really helped the bride and groom to make their vows and the entire ceremony so moving. You could really feel the love! Many guests remarked about the great job that Tim did. We highly recommend choosing him for your wedding.

Tim was an absolute pleasure to work with. Highly organised, helpful and easy to work with in advance of my Clients' wedding. On the day of the event Tim was calm, friendly and very warm - helping guests plan for their readings before the ceremony and putting the bridal party at ease. Tim led a beautiful ceremony and I would welcome the opportunity to work with him again and am very help happy to recommend Tim to my clients in the future.
