Professional and Personal Wedding Officiant

We had our wedding during the Summer and reached out to Timothy a few months before the date. We were immediately impressed at Timothy's professionalism and knowledge when we first started discussing our vision for our Wedding ceremony. We wanted an inter-faith ceremony and Timothy was very comfortable making our vision come true.

The day of the wedding, Timothy arrived early and met with everyone to make sure we were all comfortable. He met with the venue staff to assure everything would run smoothly during the ceremony. He really made our ceremony feel special and was very personal and professional. Many of our guests commented that the ceremony was very special and their favorite part of the whole night. We highly recommend Timothy to anyone looking for a very experienced wedding officiant.

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.
