Below are some recent reviews of my services. Please feel free to peruse my reviews at the source by visiting my pages on The Knot, WeddingWire, or Google.
For the TL;DR crowd, I made a helpful word cloud of the most common adjectives (plus a few choice nouns and verbs) used in my reviews.
Tim truly made our wedding day perfect and magical. He really took the time to get to know both Ian and myself and incorporated our personalities into the ceremony. It was touching and beautiful enough to make my strictly Catholic grandfather cry… but lighthearted enough to have all our guests laughing! This man honestly has a gift, his charisma appeals to everyone he meets. Not to mention his pricing is fantastic! I guarantee you’ll want to give him a little extra after the ceremony for going above and beyond what you ever could have imagined! Tim is definitely the best at what he does!! As Ian said, not only did we find the best officiant possible, but we found a new and wonderful friend as well! Thank you!
Thank you so much Tim for being our celebrant. You handled the occasion with depth and grace, which enabled Suzanne and I to relax and be able to be fully present and have a lot of fun. Our requirements were a little different than some, and it was your sensitivity to this that enabled everyone there to enjoy the the day. You are a very special person in the right place. Good fortune and God bless.
Even though we had only met Tim in person on the day of our wedding, we felt as though we already knew him. His style is so personal and it was obvious he put a lot of time and consideration into our ceremony. We received many, many compliments and we were told several times that Tim’s words were among the best ever read at a wedding. Thank you again, Tim! We will always be sure to recommend you highly.
Jared & I want to thank you again for making our ceremony an amazing experience. We got SO many compliments from everyone who attended. It was perfect. You really captured our feelings about marriage, about each other, and made our ceremony very personal. We both couldn’t have been happier. I can’t say it enough — thank you so much!
Me and my wife Lanna chose Tim to perform our ceremony and he exceeded all my expectations. I have known Tim for many years but had no idea about his gift for performing weddings. I was blown away by his words. I knew Tim would do a good job, but I never expected that I would be so moved by someone's words. I would have recommended Tim before the ceremony based on my friendship with him, but now I think everyone at the ceremony would recommend him based on his performance. Absolutely beautiful and unique ceremony. More than I could have asked for. Thank you Tim.
When we were “shopping” for an officiant for our wedding, we were pretty bummed. A friend who we had asked to perform the ceremony had to pull out, due to a trip to China. Thankfully, she left us enough time to find Tim. From our first conversation, Tim set us at ease with his understanding of the immensity of the request. His flexibility and timely responses were especially helpful as we live in Virginia and were marrying in Cleveland. He was dually professional and eloquent with his writing of the service, calm and collected throughout his delivery. In addition his down-to-earth personality and humor added to our day. His tact and poise, in fact, saved us. For example, our wedding took place outdoors and mid-ceremony Tim’s thoughts were interrupted by the sound from a nearby helicopter. He was in the middle of a emphasizing the enormity of what love is but did not force the issue or attempt to scream over the helicopter. He simply said, “And I’ll explain… as soon as this helicopter passes by… Oh, the challenges of an outdoor wedding.” He did not panic. He knew it would pass and pass quickly. and he filled the lull with laughter. Then, swiftly picked up. Tim’s words added to the joy and beauty of our day, his beard never once got in the way, and not one guest thought we had hired him via the Internet. But everyone asked how we knew him. Thank you a million times over, Tim. You made our day.
Having known Tim for some time, I was confident that he would do a great job, but he far exceeded my expectations. Tim is an eloquent speaker, and took the time to prepare a service that was suited to the bride and groom specifically. He provided a perfect mix of sentiment, reality, and spirituality. Tim is a true professional and a master of his craft.
A great big Thank You to Tim for a wonderful ceremony to marry our daughter and son-in-law, Brian & Lacey Flynn. Through last minute venue changes to calming the bride and groom, Tim was right there to support them as well as their families. Tim’s ceremony was heartfelt and perfect for what Lacey & Brian wanted. They knew he was the one to perform the ceremony from the moment they met him. Thank You again Tim. Hats off to you! Most Sincerely, Brian & Leslie Bowers, Father and Mother of the Bride
What can be said about Tim Greathouse that everyone should know?… Well to start if you are looking to be married or know someone that is, you need not look any further for someone to officiate. Tim has an amazing personality that works well with everyone, he is professional, easy going, open-minded, well groomed, looks good in a suit, funny, and over all will make your planning a TON more relaxing and enjoyable. He just feels like your best friend that you never knew. Tim is a well spoken gentleman that has the ability to create a beautiful environment at the same time of making it an enjoyable and lighthearted experience that everyone can get a smile or tears of joy from. The only down side of having Tim perform our ceremony is that he will only get to do it once. I have found my one and only and we shall not need his service again… unless of course we decide to renew our vows. So really if you need that special someone to make your event the best it can be, you need not look any further than Tim GREAThouse, it is just in the name.
Tim did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding. Everything was exceptional, from the detailed questionnaire about each aspect of the ceremony to his presence and demeanor during the actual event. He was happy to take our ideas and incorporate them into a seamless ceremony. We got numerous compliments about him and the readings, etc. we/he had included. It is obvious that Tim takes great pride in what he does and completely appreciates the importance of the event in the lives of his “customers.” We cannot say enough about how satisfied we were and continue to be!
