    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.

    Great Tennessee Officiants's reply:

    I'm humbled by your kind review. It was truly my honor to be there for you all. Your heart felt vows were moving to everyone there and almost made me cry!

    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!

    Great Tennessee Officiants's reply:

    Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day. You're truly an amazing and blessed couple. I considered it an honor to be there.

    Timothy was absolutely wonderful! I would highly recommend him to everyone! He gets to know you, and he is so funny! Everyone at my wedding talked about how great he was the entire time! He made our day perfect! I am so glad we used him as our Officiant. He was excellent!

    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!!!

    Perfect ceremony for us!

    Thank you Timothy for such a memorable wedding ceremony! Instead of a stuffy, boring ceremony, Timothy made our ceremony about us and kept it engaging for our guests. It was the perfect way to start our lives together!

    The most memorable ceremony.

    "What a memorable ceremony.", "That was one for the books." ,"I actually enjoyed a wedding ceremony." These were all comments from my guest. I wish I could post more! Hey! What more can you ask for! It was perfect in every way. I highly recommend Timothy from Great Tennessee Officiants. We met in person once, he got us from the start. He molded my ideas into a perfect blessing for my marriage that will be remembered for a lifetime.

    Rev Todd was outstanding!

    We had the pleasure of having Reverend Todd officiate our wedding. He took our story and incorporated it into our ceremony perfectly! He is such a gentle, kind, well spoken man! It was great getting to know him! We also did the pre-marital counseling he offers and it really helped us out a lot! He was great at communicating the whole time and was happy to give suggestions whenever we had questions. Even after the wedding, we have been in contact with him a few times and he is still so nice to talk to! A great wedding ceremony is only possible with a great officiant! Rev. Todd is your guy!

    The officiant sets the tone of the ceremony once it begins. Timothy was absolutely amazing. His guidance, tips and suggestions made everything so much better. Do not hesitate in retaining his services.

    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!!

    Reverend Edward Vaughan officiated at our backyard wedding this past July. He was wonderful. He was prompt, prepared and overall pleasant and friendly. He also made the ceremony less nerve-wracking (which I was thankful for). I would recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding!

    We eloped to Tennessee and didn't get to meet our officiant until the day of, but we were so blessed with such an awesome one. Rev Todd couldn't have done a better job. He said just the right words to unit my husband and I. I would recommend him in a heart beat.

    Rev. Todd performed our wedding ceremony in Franklin, TN on 11/11/17. It was a destination wedding, so we were unsure of how to pick an officiant. Based on a recommendation from our wedding planner, we contacted Rev. Todd. From the 1st phone conversation, he was so positive and really interested in how we felt about life, love, and many things far beyond a wedding ceremony. For the ceremony itself, he incorporated a requested prayer and gave a funny but sweet rendition of how we first met. Prices were great and I highly recommend Rev. Todd!

    We booked our officiant Rev. Todd Ketner through Life Journey Ceremonies and we could not have been happier. My husband (then fiancé) and I had been having trouble finding an officiant who was accepting of our different religious backgrounds and who would listen and understand our story. We wanted to play a part in our ceremony but did not want to write our own vows since both of us are more quiet and reserved when it comes to personal emotions. With Rev. Todd we were able to have a sample of a personalized ceremony and I was able to add/change things in it so that it sounded more like what we thought we would say, he not only listened to our modifications but he loved them and took them very seriously. My favorite part (and our guests too!) was the part of the ceremony where our personal story was shared. Rev. Todd had spent time in premarital counseling and in an online questionnaire getting to know us so that way when he told the story of how we met and fell in love it sounded as if he had known us our whole relationship. The story was sweet, honest, and also added a bit of light and laughter to our wedding ceremony. He made our ceremony fun and it was nice to have that moment to smile and laugh with our guests in the middle of a serious commitment. We met with Rev. Todd in person two times before our wedding and he was available by text message any time I had and questions before and after our wedding. He is a kind, personable man who will help you make your wedding ceremony special- our wedding would not have been the same without him.

    Recently wed by Reverend Todd Ketner 10-14-17. Rev. Todd provided a first meeting to go over what we wanted for the ceremony and he also provided marriage counseling which was tailored to our needs. He is very casual, easy-going, funny, and creative. The ceremony included excellently chosen readings as well as a fun story of how my husband and I met. He also accommodated a footwashing portion to put the "exclamation point" on our traditional vows. Very affordable prices as well! We feel we were led to Rev. Todd and I recommend him to anyone wanting an extra special something added to the ceremony that you will be laughing about for years to come ??????

    Don't think twice about booking! Rev. Todd Ketner officiated our recent ceremony on 7-4-17. He made our mountain elopement possible and set us at ease from the initial phone conversation. Very easy to talk to and flexible. We had some last minute changes due to weather prior to our ceremony, but Rev. Todd was patient and very accommodating. Many thanks for making our day special Rev. Todd!!!
