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.
I knew from reading his website that Tim would be the perfect fit for our ceremony, and he certainly was. He was professional, and attentive. He listened to everything we said, and created the most perfect ceremony based on the information we provided him. We had a Dr. Suess theme for our ceremony and he suggested a reading of Oh, the Places You’ll Go, which fit perfectly. He kept the ceremony upbeat and happy while honoring the seriousness of the commitment we made that day. I cannot stress enough how professional and amazing he was. He calmed me down that morning, and calming an anxious bride is no easy feat. He performed 2 other weddings on the same day as ours, and I encourage not to be nervous if he mentions he has other wedding on your date. If he says he can be there, he will. Your ceremony is the most important part of your wedding. It’s the reason for the dj, the reception, the dress, and the cake. I have no qualms about recommending him!
Thanks, Tim!! We thought our ceremony was just perfect! You really walked us through every step of the way and the ceremony was tailored just to us! I would definitely recommend Tim Greathouse to any couple seeking an officiant for their wedding. We got so many compliments on our ceremony and officiant! My husband & I (and our guest) had times where we cried and times where we laughed during the ceremony. I can’t imagine our ceremony being any better than it was!
I’ve heard from so many married people that the ceremony was the last thing they had to “get through” before they could relax and enjoy their wedding. I had kind of thought it might be the same for us–neither of us loves being the center of attention, and we were nervous about reading our own vows–but our ceremony turned out to be FUN. Tim was relaxed and put us at ease right away. It must have been his beard. We laughed so many times throughout, which was perfect. Tim let us customize the ceremony as much as we wanted, and then everything he wrote himself was just awesome–funny and specific and spot-on. All day, people kept telling us how much they loved the ceremony, how it seemed like we must have known Tim for years, how it was so funny and relaxed and us. I totally agree with all of that, except we hadn’t known Tim for years. Maybe in another life.
Tim performed our ceremony perfectly — from his words, timing, to his eloquent delivery! Even though we only met Tim twice before the big day, we really felt connected to him. He did an amazing job tailoring the ceremony to fit ‘us’ uniquely. Just about every single person at our wedding commented on how awesome Tim was and how moved they were by the ceremony. Several relatives in the 70s, who have been to many, many weddings said ours was the most beautiful they had been to. Being a gay couple, we not only felt comfortable and supported by Tim, but we know that he is a strong advocate for our equal rights. It’s three weeks later (sorry Tim for our late testimonial!) and we’re still talking about our special day. We can’t wait to do it again when it’s legal!! Tim will definitely be our guy. You hit it out of the park, Tim! Thank you so much.
Dear Tim, I was at the wedding of Jennifer Fisette & Theresa Walton. That was such a beautiful service you performed. It was like you knew the couple from childhood. The words were perfect, the sayings were perfect. Everything about the service was perfect. The words you spoke were so beautifully said. Thank You so much for the inspirational words of that day.

Tim was amazing! He truly centered the ceremony around us and we could not be happier that we chose him to officiate the wedding. Although he had 5 weddings the weekend we got married he somehow even managed to make it to our rehearsal! We received numerous compliments from all of our friends and family regarding how beautiful the ceremony was. Tim definitely lives up to his reputation!
Tim was referred to us by plenty of people. We now understand why. We did not want a traditional or religious ceremony and Tim completely respected that. Our only worry was how a few of our traditional, conservative relatives would take that…when the ceremony was over a few of them told us that even though it wasn’t the wedding ceremony they were used to, that this was the most beautiful one they have ever been a part of. It’s all because of Tim. Our ceremony was short, sweet, and to the point, just like we asked for, but at the same time Tim was able to make it very personal. There wasn’t a single thing we would have changed about our ceremony. It was perfect in every way and we have Tim to thank for that. Thank you Tim for making the best day of our lives that much better! Love, Adam and Molly Stover P.S. We don’t know how he did it, but mid-ceremony a family of deer pranced across the field behind us!
Due to unforeseen circumstances about three months before the wedding we had to find an officiant. We did some web searches and Tim’s name came up. Not only was he a perfect fit for us, he also helped us create our ceremony. (I was a last minute planner on that part) He walked us through everything and even helped keep the nervous jitters away. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
We were married on August 4th, and Tim was definitely the best choice we made when it came to picking all the elements of the wedding. We had a small, simple outdoor ceremony, it was mostly family who attended, all of which had very low expectations since it wasn’t a church wedding, or some grand event. It’s been over a month and we’re still getting compliments on how nice, touching, personal, and beautiful the ceremony was. Both Anthony and I were amazed too, having never met Tim, it was awesome how truly personal and touching his ceremony was. He made my husband tear up, which isn’t easy to do. Any time I had questions, he answered them and he also helped to put my mind at ease in regards to “public speaking” haha. It didn’t feel like he was just some guy who showed up to perform the ceremony and leave, he was very warm and friendly, and it was as if we’d known him for years. Now, I haven’t been to many weddings, but I feel like that is an important quality for someone who is a part of your wedding to have. All in all, I sincerely don’t think anyone else could have done a better job, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a beautiful, touching ceremony.
Choosing Tim to marry us was far and away the best decision we made for our wedding. He crafted a wonderful ceremony that was the perfect mix of humor and reverence, and he does a spectacular job at his craft. Tim made sure we were comfortable with the structure of the ceremony ahead of time, but kept the actual words he wrote a surprise. I was excited to start the ceremony so I could hear what he had to say! Though it was a custom ceremony, it was in no way a mere rehash of the answers we gave in the questionnaire. He wrote it from his own understanding of who we are as a couple, and he spoke with the kindness, energy, and warmth you might expect from an old friend. I truly felt like his words were a gift to be received and cherished. Tim really goes above and beyond in his work, and I am blown away by what a beautiful experience it was. Wedding days often hold disappointments and frustrations. For us, our ceremony absolutely was not one of them. Lots of guests commented on how much they enjoyed it. I’m so happy we chose Tim and never looked back!
