Tom was the best!

Tom made our wedding day the best, and most special day we could have imagined. Obviously COVID has impacted us all, and Tom's flexibility and willingness to help meant the world to us. He is professional, friendly, and everything we wanted in an officiant. Would highly recommend him to everyone!

Vow renewal

Mr. Lang officiated our wedding vow renewal ceremony in February 2020 and he was simply wonderful. He guided us throughout the process and came up with a great idea to get our kids involved in the ceremony (which they loved). It was a pleasure working with him and couldn’t have been a better choice. Thanks Mr Lang!

Excellent Ceremony & Experience

Tom was great! Would highly recommend him for anyone looking for wedding minister. He was professional, kind and knew all the in’s and out’s of what we needed to make our ceremony a success. Won’t have to use him again because I plan on staying married to my new wife but would recommend him to anyone looking!

Review of Our Experience

We very much appreciated how well Tom was prepared for our ceremony. Everybody had great things to say about how wonderful it. You were absolutely amazing in how it was managed before, during and after the ceremony. Thank you again for making our day wonderful with your eloquently spoken service while making sure all the details were covered with everybody. You managed every little detail to make the worries go away. Tom even took time to email that the marriage license had been mailed to the appropriate place while thanking us for being part of our day. He is a wonderful person to have as your officiant.

As newlyweds, we cannot stop raving about how amazing it was to have Tom Lang as our officiant!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. We got married in a small ceremony (13 of us) in sunny Palm Springs this May. We reached out to him mid-January to find out more about his services/style - and after the first phone call, we were set! Tom is super friendly, heart-warming, funny, and his approach to the wedding ceremony calmed our nerves because he is so organized. He got to know us through several 'FaceTime' calls, and proposed numerous options (drafts) for how we wanted to proceed with our ceremony (how much storytelling, a light religious aspect, integration of our vows, and even a reading by my sister).

When we landed in Palm Springs, he met with us to do a quick rehearsal too. Day-of, he came prepared, had the reading printed out for my sister, and was dressed perfectly. Tom was also very helpful in helping us apply for a marriage license (the entire process can seem confusing when you have a million things going on already!). He also followed up with us post-wedding to ensure we had all the right information to obtain an official certificate - so great. In the end, the way everything came together felt personal, unique, and memorable. Thank you Tom!

My husband and I eloped and got married in Joshua tree and having Tom there to do our wedding ceremony was just magical! He made our day so special and definitely makes sure it’s personal to the couple! I’m so glad he was able to take part in our ceremony, he’s such a grand individual and my family loved having him their as well. Tom was easy to communicate with through out this process (especially with the short notice we gave him) and answered all of our questions, definitely recommend!

Tom Lang was a pleasure to work with for our wedding ceremony. He came highly recommended from both the hotel wedding coordinator and our personal wedding planner. We had a handful of particulars surrounding our ceremony and Tom worked with us to ensure everything was as we wanted. He is very responsive, and thorough and an overall pleasure to work with! He has many, many options to choose from in terms of script and verbiage and then there is always customization. We highly recommend!
