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.

I confided in Tim early on that I felt the officiant was the most important part of everything. He/She makes or breaks the whole thing. And boy did he make it! I knew from the moment I met him that he was the right man to marry us. his words are perfect. he was able to understand what made our relationship so perfect to us. To understand it, without experiencing it must take a great deal of emotional aptitude and empathy. Those things are hard to come by in a person. And I will always be grateful that we managed to find him! [originally posted on The.Knot.com]

Tim was amazing! We are a nonreligious couple looking for something special for the two of us, and Tim was perfect. What Tim provided was basically a civil ceremony but he added his own personal touch, adding a reading that related to my husband and I, and talking about how we met and personal things about our relationship. I would recommend him to anyone! Tim, you are fantastic, and made our day extra special. Thank you!

Tim, you were so absolutely wonderful! You made our wedding day so special, it was as though you’ve been there every step of the way since the day Adam and I met. You completely rocked Elliot Smith and your interpretation of the song was dead on to how I personally interpreted it. Too bad we didn’t rent a snow machine so we could make angels in the snow, that would have felt AMAZING in the blazing 650,000 degrees Celsius heat. For anyone looking for an officiant who will listen to what you want included in your ceremony, who is extremely kind and personable, and who will bring a sense of calm to a frazzled wedding party, I give this fellow 5 stars and 2 thumbs up.

Dear Tim: As you know I waited since 1983 until 5-12-10 to commit myself to someone, so it was a big deal!!! And Michael was worth the wait. Your ceremony matched our sentiments, energy and our hearts. Because of your positive and open approach I can now attend other weddings and feel the power of the statement of commitment. I truly have never felt that before. You were/are a gift to us. And as my brother told my mom… “…she sure did luck out finding that guy…” That would be YOU. I can see you will have a long and happy time bringing people together. Thank you again. Andrea Naples and Michael Norvelle

Tim, I can’t thank you enough for the beautiful ceremony you performed for Christy & Jon. They were both interested in a personal private setting and you made that possible. Not to mention the arch blowing over, and you were still able to continue the service. Thank you again. You will always be special to our entire family.

Tim thanks so much for helping us to keep our wedding simple yet make it special at the same time. Bill and I both liked the way you incorporated little tidbits about us into the ceremony to make it even more memorable. The reading was beautiful as well. Thanks again for everything! The ceremony was perfect!

Tim’s ceremony was beautiful yet simple and we like how he incorporated personal touches to make it our own. I’ve had so many guests from the wedding compliment on what a beautiful ceremony we had. I highly recommend Tim, powerful words, very professional.

After talking with Tim for five minutes, I knew that he would be the perfect person to officiate our ceremony. My instincts were correct. He happily tailored the moment to meet our requests and was a professional, yet peaceful focus to the event. Beyond that, he’s a really great guy. We hit it off and look forward to getting to know Tim better when our lives settle down again!

Hello Tim! We just wanted to say thank you again so much, we are so pleased with the ceremony. Everyone was so impressed with the reading that you prepared. We could of not asked for a better wedding. If you ever need a reference for another couple please feel free to give them our contact info. Also we were wondering if there is anyway we could have a copy of the reading for our album. It was also amazing how it seemed like you’ve know us forever, some of the family even asked how long we have known you. Thank you again so much, you made our wedding such a wonderful, easy and memorable occasion.
