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.
Thanks Tim for the AWESOME launch to our life together. May many, many others be lucky enough to have you perform their ceremony because it is no doubt you have a gift for it.
When we decided on a wedding officiant, we knew exactly who we wanted. Love is a wedding professional (in the business of happily ever afters), and she had seen Tim in action at a wedding she worked. After a few extremely dorky jokes were exchanged, a plan was formed: that of forcing Tim to be our officiant. We weren’t even engaged at the time! When the question was asked, one of the first vendors we booked was Tim, he’s a great guy, but in high demand. Luckily, we were planning a while ahead. Prior to the wedding we met a couple of different times. Once for the booking, once to hammer down the details – over breakfast at Fred’s diner, with our children – that was fun. He was completely cool through it all. At the wedding, he showed up early, walked us through the I do’s, and COMPLETELY blew us away with the ceremony. Remember those dorky jokes mentioned earlier? Yes, well, we gave him a few quotes from our favorite Sci-Fi shows and he wove them in as if they were the most romantic lyrical poetry you had ever heard. He walked us through our hand-fasting like a boss, and even attempted to help Love when she realized she forgot to make up promises for it. All in all, we HIGHLY suggest Tim to everyone we meet. Need an officiant, go for Tim. Need some laughs, Tim’s your guy. Want something serious and heartfelt, yup, still Tim. You can’t go wrong with this guy.
Perfect. That is the word I have chosen to describe my experience with Tim. I interviewed about 7 officiants before I found Tim. From the first time speaking with Tim (probably the first few minutes), I knew he was the officiant for my husband and I. We were looking for a less formal, less religious, unconventional personality to marry us. Our relationship is corky and lively and we needed someone who could match, understand and encompass our passion into our ceremony . We wanted our ceremony to be about us and our amazing love story, leaving religion and other traditional ceremony rituals aside. Tim did exactly that! He was able to take our questionnaires, our stories and our conversations, and turn them into a beautifully worded and delivered presentation. He has an exceptional way with words, and his deliverance of those words is captivating and engaging; our guests were enamored with Tim and our ceremony. Tim also has this superpower of being able to calm your nerves; he just senses it. He was able to mute his mic in certain areas of the ceremony and just speak directly to us. This allowed us not to feel uneasy or uptight. We were able to escape from our nerves and concentrate on the conversation – like it was just us three there. Tim also was very punctual, very natural and genuine with his words and our guests, and truly enjoys his profession. We could sit and talk with Tim for hours; he’s a great guy, real great guy! Because of Tim, my ceremony was one thing I didn’t have to stress or have any concerns about. Thank you Tim, for making our day PERFECT. We will see you soon! [originally posted on The.Knot.com]
Tim was the perfect wedding officiant. He was professional, funny, and a snappy dresser! We wanted a simple, beautiful, intimate wedding, and Tim delivered! His choice of words was beautiful, but he kept it light hearted, which is exactly what we wanted. I certainly hope that I never need his services again, but will definitely recommend him to everyone I know, and hope to be able to sit in on his ceremonies in the future.
I worked with Tim in May. I have been in the event planning business since 1995 and have worked with many officiants. I felt that Tim did a very meaningful and personal ceremony for the bride and groom. His words to the couple were so appropriate and the quotations perfect for them. The ceremony meant so much to the bride and groom and all the guests commented on the beauty of the ceremony.
One year ago today Tim married my husband and I. When we started looking for an officiant we were a little scared because while we do believe in God, we are not religious people and did not want a religious ceremony. We found Tim and he explained the ceremony to us and we knew this is the route we wanted to take. The day of our wedding Tim showed up early to go over our vows with us prior to the ceremony. My husband said when he got to the hall he was nervous and once Tim found him and explained how things would work it helped to calm him down. After the ceremony all of our friends and family commented on how lovely the ceremony was. We owe it all to Tim. Thank you so much!
We were very nervous when it came to beginning the search for an officiant for our wedding; We wanted something different from the “traditional” ceremony, we wanted something nonreligious that suited our personalities and could portray our love for each other. We could envision what we wanted, we just didn’t know how to go about it. When we found Tim, all of our concerns were taken care of! Tim was there for us every step of the way, and was very involved in customizing our ceremony to make it personal for us. Which of course included changing our “facebook status/name,” and as silly as it sounds that was the best part of our ceremony. It was unique to us and that's what we loved about it! And more importantly is what everyone else remembers. Our family and friends had amazingly good things to say about our ceremony, and they loved that they got to learn more about us as a couple throughout the wedding. In the weeks after the wedding we watched our wedding video several times, and listening to Tim, as well as watching his emotions during the ceremony is absolutely amazing. He is such a great speaker, he made us feel comfortable BEFORE and THROUGHOUT the ceremony. And most importantly gave us exactly what we were looking for in our wedding ceremony. Tim we cannot thank you enough for the wonderful ceremony you gave us! It was truly amazing.
“We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love.” — Robert Fulghum. We may all be a little weird, but we, Carrie and Ris in particular, are especially weird, so of course we wanted our wedding to be weird. Our loved ones are all weird in their own ways, and we love them each in corresponding weirdness. With two families of weirdness coming together, the web of weird was wild, and Tim was perfect for all our special needs. Not that he’s weird or anything. Word games aside, Tim was fantastic in every way. We especially loved how well he put us at ease about everything (and our parents too!) He was warm, and funny, and we just felt comfortable with him from the first second. He asked us all of the right questions to tailor the perfect ceremony for our love, and we will never forget it.
We were married by Tim on July 21st, and Tim was an amazing officiant. Our family and friends had nothing but positive words to say about him and his words during our ceremony. Some were even saying it was the best ceremony they’d ever seen! (And we have to agree!) He described us and our relationship perfectly, and throughout the whole process was very open to our ideas and incorporated them into the ceremony. We remember the first time speaking with Tim over the phone we got along so well we ended up chatting for forty-five minutes- most of it not even about ceremony-related things! We would definitely recommend Tim to anyone looking for a great officiant who will help give them a beautiful, personable, and memorable wedding ceremony.
Tim was definitely the right choice for our waterfall wedding in the woods. He was professional & courteous yet laid back & easy going. Tim helped make our day memorable. We still get compliments from friends and family that attended about what a great job he did. Tim is easy to work with and focused on the vision we had for our wedding day. We could not have asked for a better person to work with!
