About this vendor
What’s the right wedding ceremony for a religiously independent couple? A courthouse ceremony is cold, impersonal, and over in a flash. A church ceremony is usually just a long sermon to which your actual ceremony is a sideshow. Pick your poison - a quick, dry affair with no heart, or a long, tedious slog that flies in the face of your worldview. Or... chuck that poison and grab the champagne. I got you, boo! I perform deeply personal, customizable ceremonies for couples who care about the content of their ceremony and want the declaration of their love and commitment to be truly unforgettable.
Your ceremony will focus on thoughtful, bold insights on love and commitment, and personal stories and details about your relationship - NOT religion. You'll answer a detailed questionnaire that puts you in control of every aspect of your ceremony, and you'll answer insightful personal questions so that I can share some highlights of your romance with your family and friends. Now in my 17th year with over 850 ceremonies officiated, I bring the enthusiasm and eloquence to deliver a deeply moving yet lighthearted ceremony, a relaxed demeanor that will keep you calm and centered, and unparalleled expertise in wedding ceremony craft and theory.

Wonderful officiant
As our wedding date approached, Tim checked in with us and made sure everything was confirmed and ready to go. On the day of our wedding, he arrived early, looked very professional, and was genuinely enjoyable to have around on such an important day.
Most importantly, he made our wedding vows feel incredibly special and meaningful. We truly appreciated the care he put into making our ceremony memorable.
I would absolutely recommend Tim to anyone looking for an Ohio wedding officiant. He made the entire process easy and helped make our wedding day even more special!
The best wedding officiant
He wrote us a ceremony that felt completely personal, honoring us as individuals while still showing who we are as a couple. Multiple guests told us it felt like he'd known us for years. On the day itself, he was calm, warm, and had such a welcoming presence that really put us at ease.
We got married outdoors at the historic Everett Covered Bridge in Peninsula. Tim made the whole experience feel effortless and deeply meaningful. It really was everything we hoped for. If you're looking for an officiant who will take the time to get to know you and create something unique, it's Tim.
Best wedding officiant ever!
Wedding Day
Tim is The Best!
My wife was the one who made the connection, and from the moment Tim showed up — in a utili-kilt, combat boots, and bright pink laces — we knew this was going to be exactly our kind of ceremony. He brought so much personality, warmth, and presence to the day without ever making it about himself.
What really blew us away, though, were his words. Somehow, Tim managed to speak about our relationship in a way that felt deeply personal, honest, and true — like he had known each of us for years and years. Nothing felt generic or copied-and-pasted. The ceremony felt like us: meaningful, funny, emotional, grounded, and full of love.
Tim helped make one of the most important moments of our lives feel sacred without being stiff, personal without being performative, and unforgettable in all the best ways. We are so grateful he was part of our wedding day.
Five stars, easily.
Inclusive, patient, and kind! :)
