Great Officiant for Our Wedding

Rev Tod was perfect!

Working with Rev Tod was so easy and fun. We wanted a non-religious ceremony and he was happy to provide just what we wanted without judgement. The ceremony was personal and tailored to us and our relationship with every line. He helped us every step of the way picking out what to say and even suggested a unity ceremony for us to do that we'd never heard of - it was unique and special and our guests remarked how original it was! We wrote our own vows and Rev Tod read them for us before the wedding and made sure they matched in length and tone which was very helpful! I would highly recommend Rev Tod especially to those wanting a non-religious ceremony that's all about the couple and their story!

We were blessed to find the wonderful Rev. Tod Coles for our 25th wedding anniversary vow renewal celebration. I could not have asked for a more perfect ceremony. Working with Rev. Tod was incredibly simple - with just a few conversations he was able to gather the information he needed to lead a beautiful, personal and intimate ceremony. It was like he knew us for years! Rev. Tod has a very joyful, casual yet professional demeanor about him and it made our simple ceremony so very special. Can't wait to call on Rev. Tod when we renew our vows in another 25 years!

Tod was amazing, when we first met I was instantly at ease and he helped any questions we had about having an officiant! He gave us plenty of options for vows and was always there if we had a question!

Jason Cobbs officiated our wedding and he was wonderful. We had several conversations leading up to the ceremony and he listened to everything we wanted. He showed up on time, was super pleasant with my family (everyone commented on how nice he was) and he gave us a beautiful ceremony. He delivered everything we asked for, and did it with such genuine love. Jason really enjoys officiating and it's so obvious when he's standing in front of you at the alter. I loved having him in our photos because his smile is so genuine. He truly was a joy to work with.

We played a wedding officiated by Rev. Tod in Lake Lure, NC this year. He is a wonderful officiant! He followed the couple's specifications perfectly and listened specifically to what they wanted - to personalize the ceremony to them. If you're looking for an officiant who listens to you and is invested in your vision for your wedding day, Big Love Weddings is a great choice.
