Rev. Todd Ketner was awesome!!

We had to find a new officiant pretty last minute due to ours having to drop out, we reached out and Rev. Todd Ketner replied quickly and told us everything we needed to know! He is fairly priced, communicative, very professional, and so easy to work with! 10/10 service and would recommend for anyone looking.

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.

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.

Incredible!

Timothy was amazing during our ceremony. We chose to do a religious ceremony and add our own quotes. He was able to fit everything we wanted into a 15 minute ceremony. Very emotional and memorable!

Don’t Hesitate

If you are like us and don’t have an officiant in the area and don’t know where to start don’t hesitate to reach out to Great Tennessee Officiants. Timothy is a pro. Our guests complimented his sense of humor and thought he had known us for years. We are so thankful we found him! 10/10

Amazing officiant!!

I was trying to plan our wedding from out of town. I contacted several officiants with no response. Timothy Pollard was on top of things and a pleasure to work with. Not to mention we loved his sense of humor. I feel lucky that he was the first to call back, he helped make our day amazing!! Thanks Tim!!!

AMAZING!! Couldn't have been better!

Timothy was incredible. The ceremony was perfect! He included humor which kept the ceremony light and fun so it wasn't so boring for wedding guests as we all know those weddings that are boring... He showed up way before he needed to and made sure everything was perfect. We did not have him at our rehearsal, but you couldn't even tell because he was so professional and organized. He made the ceremony unique and took a lot of stress off. I could not recommend him enough! All of our guests even commented on how much they liked him!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
