My sister-in-law worked with Tom and after seeing how awesome he was, we knew we had to work with him too. Tom has a wonderful presence about him and you have no choice but to relax and go with it. He is easy to work with, professional and carries himself well. You are missing out if you pass him up!

My experience with Tom was hands down amazing.

The first thing that I really appreciate about Tom is that he was very understanding of my husband and I when we had to initially cancel our wedding. It was a difficult time, my husband and I were on a hiatus from each other, but Tom made this process very easy when he heard the news.

Fortunately, afterward he was very helpful in the transition to a new date/smaller ceremony/smaller venue.

Tom is in Indiana, and I am in Illinois. The fact that we were able to communicate and online and through the telephone to create my ceremony was ideal and our plans were perfect.

We included one speaker and giving of roses, as well as a memorial rose for my fiancee's late mother.

I can tell you that everyone at my ceremony was definitely happy with it, completely pleased with the facing-forward aspect (I got so many texted pictures right afterward! It made it so easy for everyone to catch the moments!)

Now I'm not going to lie: in the beginning 5 minutes of my ceremony, I simply heard Tom's voice but DID NOT comprehend a word coming out of his mouth because I was so nervous. However, when viewing the video, I was so pleased with the content of his ceremony. It was beautiful, heartfelt, and non-religious for the sake of my husband who is agnostic, yet still had the important aspects of a "traditional" religious ceremony.

Anyone that complains about Tom is simply a bride-zilla - in my hiatus, I realized how important it is to just let a professional do his profession correctly instead of trying to dictate or having other people try to dictate when they aren't officiating; that's what I did, and I have the best memories because of it.

There is only one word I can use to describe Tom..."Fabulous". That is an understatement. It's been approxmitaley 8 days since Tom officiated my wedding and my mother is still getting phone calls about him. Our guests were immediately impressed and overwhelmed in a good way when he did our ceremony. There were repeated comments of "I have never seen a ceremony like this!" "Where did you find him?" . Your guests will be in awe of his presence and his officiating. He made them laugh and cry. One of my mother's friends said she wanted to kiss him after the ceremony but she was afraid that would have been improper. She thought he was a clergyman. He's not so a kiss is ok with him I assume. :-)

When we were taking our vows, I was about to cry and my voice cracked. I will not share what Tom said but he quickly turned my tears of joy into one of the best laughs I ever had. Not only was I laughing but our guests and the wedding party were sharing in the laughter too.

I should mention that I was an out of town bride. Both my new hubby and I are originally from Chicago. I came across Tom when his name appeared on a list of approved wedding officiantes at the one of the venues we were considering if we were going to have the wedding in Chicago. Things happened and we decided to have the wedding in Atlanta where we live. I started searching for other local officiants. None of them had the detailed web site that looked like Tom's nor the variety of wedding special moments. We made the "financial sacrifice" and flew Tom in to Atlanta. Oddly enough it was his second trip here. He had just officiated for another Atlanta couple that previous week. He was well worth the money and travel expenses. He exceeded any officiant in his delivery. My wedding planner stated anybody could do the ceremony from the back of the room. I said Tom would be doing more than just the standard wedding ceremony. She did not believe me. I am happy to say we proved her wrong!

One of his key strengths is creating photographic moments. Your photographer will appreciate Tom's ability to cue them for photo opportunities. They will miss nothing. I wish this site would allow publication of pictures! I could truly back up my statements. He will be your photographer's best friend during your special day. Heed my words..."Do the bubbles". I will let Tom explain or just go to his website.

Tom is by far not only the best wedding officiant in Chicago but also the best wedding officiant in Atlanta and truly nationwide. He should have his own wedding show! You will be extremely happy to have him as your officiant. Your guests will appreciate it. He will provide a very memorable wedding ceremony that you will treasure forever!
