Tim was absolutely everything I needed as a bride. My family and I are not religious, but my husbands family is, and they were not thrilled with the fact that we chose to have an outdoor wedding rather than a church wedding. I told Tim this, and he assured me that he would be able to appease to everyone in the audience (I know it shouldn't matter because it's supposed to be about the married couple and no one else.... but it's very stressful when people you love disapprove of big decisions). Tim was able to deliver EXACTLY what I hoped for. He shared so much information about my husband and I's relationship and was able to include some humor and emotional aspects. He truly captured our story and helped the audience understand the love between us. After the wedding, we had SO MANY people tell us how great our officiant was (even those that were wanting us to have a religious wedding) because our ceremony was much more meaningful and personal than their original (Catholic) expectations. Before the ceremony itself, Tim helped with all of my anxiousness. He impressed everyone at our rehearsal as he took complete control and helped direct everyone and everything. It was like having a wedding coordinator. He knew exactly what to do and how to orchestrate everyone. My venue coordinator even applauded him for such a job well done. Then, on the day of my wedding, I was hit with a last minute decision of whether I should have my wedding indoors or outdoors because there was a 90% chance of rain. I was so adamant about having our ceremony outside, but so many people (my photographer, videographer, DJ, venue coordinator, some family, etc) were telling me I need to change the ceremony to have it indoors because the rain was looking pretty promising. My husband and I agreed that we wanted to be outside, even if it was raining, and the ONLY person who was on our side was Tim. I will never forget the phone call I had with Tim an hour before walking down the aisle. He told me that he will marry us in the pouring rain and it would be amazing memory for us forever..... that's all I needed. I just needed someone on my side and Tim was it. (One thing to note, is that Tim even had another ceremony they he had to officiate after mine, but he was willing to inconvenience himself, get soaking wet just for us, and figure out what he needed to do for the next wedding... he was 100% committed!) Thankfully, we held our ceremony outside and the rain held off!! I have Tim to thank for this because I almost gave into everyone else's pushy opinions, but Tim wanted to make sure I got what I wanted. Tim is such a remarkable person. From the moment you have your first phone call with him, it is obvious that he is a true, genuine character who is passionate about what he does. He has an extremely friendly demeanor about him, and his humor is so much fun. Tim is great with his words and absolutely worth the price you pay to hire him. He honestly deserves so much more than he asks for. I can't recommend Tim enough! I will always encourage anyone planning a wedding to consider him. Outside of my bias because it was my own wedding, Tim's performance was the most sincere I have ever seen at any wedding I've ever been to (and I've been to a lot!). Tim, I am forever grateful for you! Thanks for exceeding our expectations, and being more than we could ever ask for! You are amazing. [originally posted to TheKnot.com]
