  Pleasant and Godly Officiant

  Norm was exactly what we wanted in an officiant for our elopement/wedding. He was accommodating to our date and incorporated some things we wanted into the ceremony and stepped out of the way for the “you may kiss the bride” picture. Norm is a great man and also a cool musician, you’ll laugh and have a blast if he’s your officiant!

  Lovely ceremony!

  We hired Norm as our wedding officiant, and we would highly recommend him to anybody in search of one! He allowed us the freedom to personalize our ceremony and vows, while simultaneously adding all of the necessary touches required from an officiant. It made that aspect of the wedding very easy. Thanks, Norm!

  Wonderful Officiant

  Norm was wonderful! He made the ceremony memorable and added some humor so it wasn't so long and boring. We could not have chosen anyone better! Thank you!

  Excellent Experience!

  We asked Norm for an unconventional option - to have him sit in and view the ceremony while my cousin performed (since TN won't let just anyone get ordained online). Norm was up for the assignment and even helped my cousin curate the ceremony and walked her through his tips and tricks as officiant. He was incredibly kind and pleasant to work with, we would absolutely recommend him to any couples looking for an officiant!

  This fellow is a gem!

  I married my blushing bride several months back on Nov 27, 2022. I talked to Norm 2 months prior and was sold on him after the conversation. Norm is intelligent, uber friendly, and has a pleasant, friendly personality and, he is VERY accommodating. Tell him what you want and his wording is beautiful and on point. I couldn't recommend him more highly-as a matter of fact my wife and I are considering having him marry us again-he was that good-seriously!

  Personal and genuine

  Norm was such a pleasure to work with and have officiate our wedding. We found him via Thumbtack, and my husband and I were lucky enough to conduct our pre-marital counseling with Norm prior to our wedding. Therefore, he got to know us very well so the actual ceremony was personable, fun, enjoyable, and absolutely beautiful. We received many compliments about the ceremony and Norm specifically. We could not have found a better person to marry us. He is just a great human being a makes you feel comfortable to be you! I would recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant who truly wants the ceremony to be personalized to the couple.

  The Perfect Match

  Norm was very accommodating, respectful, confident, professional, and personable.
  We could not have asked for a more perfect person to officiate our wedding.

  Best officiant

  It was a pleasure having Norm be apart of our special day 10-22-22. It was a perfect day and a great ceremony. Norm made our ceremony truly a day to remember, he was very professional but also funny when needed to be. I love his silly Grandpa jokes he told after ceremony! If you are looking for a great officiant, look no further Norm is the BEST!

  A Special Officiant for Our Special Day

  My wife and I were extremely happy with the service Norm officiated for us on our special day. Not only was he easy to work with but we both felt his service was delivered with eloquence, grace and a lot of heart. We highly recommend Norm to any couple looking for an officiant who can add that special touch to your ceremony.

  Absolutely Amazing!

  If you are looking for the perfect officiant…Mr. Norm is the one to choose! Our Service would not have been the same without him. The vows were perfect and he presented them in such a kind and heartfelt way. He has the best personality and is genuinely amazing at what he does! We cannot say enough good things about him and highly recommend him!

  The most perfect day of our lives

  My husband and I just remarried after being apart for 30 yrs. Norm was so wonderful in planning our perfect day, and we truly don't believe anyone could have done a better job. He was professional, kind, funny, caring and welcoming. Thank you, Norm, for making our ceremony absolutely perfect.

  He seems to care that it would be a special moment

  When he asks Derrick to say his words and look at Ashley Derrick was looking away from her. He started all over again because he wanted it to be a special moment.

  Mr. McDonald was wonderful!.

  He responded immediately to my request. When he did he included the vows. It was like he knew us and our story! It was an absolutely beautiful ceremony. He was prompt, friendly and we could not have had a better officiant for our day! I would marry my husband a thousand times over and Mr. McDonald would be our officiant every time!

  Wedding officiant

  Norm was amazing! Punctual…unlike me as usual and a smile that could light up a room. Wedding planning is hard enough as is but Even more so during a pandemic. Norm made it feel like we’ve known him forever and tailored the ceremony just perfectly for our beautiful combined family. Thank you so much for being a part of our special day

  Absolutely perfect

  Norm just officiated over my wedding, and we couldn't be happier. He gave us the perfect ceremony, with great delivery, great pacing, but most important he truly cared.
  
  If you're looking for an officiant, I simply can't recommend him enough.

  Very responsive and reasonably priced! Amazing to work with.

  Norm was fantastic and such a joy to work with! When our original officiant fell through, just when we thought our entire wedding day would be ruined, Norm stepped up and even offered to drive an hour and a half to our venue! He was very responsive to any questions we had throughout the planning process. Our ceremony went very smoothly and his words were the perfect way to begin our wedding! Highly recommend Norm!
