Rev. Tom Kildea was amazing!

My wedding was on 9/10/22 and Pr. Tom was everything we could have asked for! He made the ceremony and process very smooth and comfortable. He was more than happy to meet with us to make sure he learned about us and we felt comfortable with the script. Thank you Pr. Tom for everything!

Rev. Tom is the absolute best

Tom was such a pleasure to work with for our wedding. We truly can’t speak highly enough about him. We went through quite a few people looking for just the right person to officiate our ceremony. From the moment we first met Tom and talked about what we were looking for, it clicked. He’s genuine, open, honest, and cares about the people that he’s marrying. This isn’t just something he does, he truly wants to get to know you, allow you to get to know him, and make sure that everyone is doing this for the right reasons. We got to know Tom before the wedding, and that was instrumental in the actual ceremony going off without a hitch and feeling authentic and relaxed. He worked with us every step of the way on our ceremony, provided suggestions, and took ours to heart. We were able to create a unique, one-of-a-kind ceremony together – one that our family and friends still remark on and highly regard. We absolutely loved working with Tom and thank him for everything he did to make our wedding ceremony such a special and memorable experience.

Tom will work with you to craft a beautiful ceremony!

My husband and I enjoyed working with Tom. We were married this past June of 2019. He was able to walk us through our ceremony and describe what we would expect. He was very flexible with his hours and made time to web-chat with us to help ease our nerves before the big day. He has a wonderful personality and I couldn't have asked for a better officiant. Tom made our ceremony day a memorable one. I highly recommend him.

A professional and beautiful service!

We loved working with Tom! He was quick to respond, professional and was so easy to work with! We had our initial call with Tom and then decided to attend his Sunday service and met with him afterwards. We had a follow up call and then he sent us his script to edit, along with a list of suggested scriptures. He attended our rehearsal the night before, which was very helpful and productive. He was on time, dressed as we asked, and led a beautiful ceremony! He showed our witnesses how to correctly complete the marriage license and mailed it for us. If you are looking for a warm, open, and professional man to perform your wedding ceremony, you found your guy!

The Perfect Ceremony For Our Special Day

Tom is responsive, organized, and professional, but beyond that he was also sincere and took great care in making sure our ceremony reflected us as a couple. Taking the time to get to know us on a personal level, Tom really made all our guests feel that something special and intimate was occurring with the ceremony, and that they were all a part of it. He speaks eloquently, provides laughter at the appropriate time but also conveys the importance and significance of whats happening without question. He easily adapted to changes in our initial plans due to torrential rains and all our guests loved him! Tom is warm and caring, he provided exactly what we were looking for and I am so grateful to have had him with us for this special day!

The most wonderful officiant ever

We found Pastor Tom through wedding wire as we did not have an officiant for our wedding. We got married last Saturday on November 10th, and I literally could not wait a minute longer to post my review on Pastor Tom. Pastor Tom is simply wonderful. He has a kind-hearted spirit and a calming presence (which is exactly what you need while wedding planning!). He worked with us effortlessly on our ceremony and truly took into consideration what kind of ceremony we wanted. A number of guests approached us at our reception saying how wonderful Pastor Tom's ceremony was. I cannot recommend him enough because he is simply the best.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
