About Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant

Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant

What’s the right wedding ceremony for a religiously independent couple? A courthouse ceremony is cold, impersonal, and over in a flash. A church ceremony is usually just a long sermon to which your actual ceremony is a sideshow. Pick your poison - a quick, dry affair with no heart, or a long, tedious slog that flies in the face of your worldview. Or... chuck that poison and grab the champagne. I got you, boo! I perform deeply personal, customizable ceremonies for couples who truly care about the content of their ceremony and want the declaration of their love and commitment to be truly unforgettable.

Your ceremony will focus on thoughtful, bold insights on love and commitment, and personal stories and details about your relationship - NOT religion. You'll answer a detailed survey that puts you in control of every aspect of your ceremony, and you'll answer insightful personal questions so that I can share some highlights of your romance with your family and friends. With 15 years in the business and over 700 ceremonies officiated, I bring the enthusiasm and eloquence to deliver a deeply moving yet lighthearted ceremony, a relaxed demeanor that will keep you calm and centered, and unparalleled expertise in wedding ceremony craft and theory.

In three words: Calm, Creative, Fun

Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant packages

Custom Ceremony

Description

Custom ceremonies begin with a questionnaire that gives you complete control over all aspects of the ceremony, like vows, readings, remembrances, ceremony extras, and virtually any other element you can imagine, as well as insightful personal questions so that I can share some highlights of your romance with your family and friends. The best ceremony they've ever seen - that's what they'll all say!

What’s included
  • A customized 15-20 minute ceremony
  • Fully customizable vows, readings, and more
  • Custom-written passages all about you two
  • Unlimited, free consultation on the ceremony
  • Rehearsal optional (for an additional fee)

Elopement Ceremony

Description

For couples who want a warm, lighthearted ceremony, but don't have the need or budget for a custom-written ceremony. It's a purely secular, 15-minute ceremony full of deep insights and thoughtful reflections on love and commitment. I'll arrive early to the ceremony you and help coordinate the processional, recessional, and other ceremony details.

What’s included
  • Thoughtful reflections on love and commitment
  • Questions of intent, vows, exchange of rings
  • Secular closing blessing & pronouncement
  • Pre-ceremony coordination with couple and vendors
  • 30-minute pre-ceremony arrival time

Flash Ceremony

Description

It's a 2-minute ceremony, over in a flash - hence the name! This is mainly for couples who mainly just want their marriage licensed signed, as a brief ceremony is still legally required. Attendees are limited to immediate family only. Flash ceremonies are only offered Sunday through Thursday at or before 11am, at Canton Garden Center at Stadium Park.

What’s included
  • A 2-minute ceremony (no exaggeration!)
  • For couples who just want their license signed
  • I'll return the marriage license to the courthouse

    Tim was GREAT to work with. That hair! That website! Need I say more? Tim had the best ceremony planned for us and executed it perfectly. We are just super happy we went with him - he got back to us right away and was flexible when we hadn't decided on all the details yet. Tim is fun, kind, and, knew when to pop out of the way for pics and when to stay in them. Lol! We highly recommend him to any couple looking for an amazing wedding officiant!

    Tim Greathouse, the Ohio Wedding Officiant, was an absolute pleasure to work with. From our first conversation, his sincere, thoughtful, and professional communication style put us at ease and made the entire process seamless. On the day of our wedding, Tim's phenomenal work truly shone through - our guests thought we had known him for years, which speaks volumes about his ability to connect with people and make the ceremony feel personal and meaningful. We could not have asked for a better officiant to be a part of our special day. Tim's expertise and warm presence helped make our wedding ceremony unforgettable.

    I received so many compliments on my ceremony because of Tim. His style of writing and choice of poem made our marriage stand apart from the standard fare. Not to mention how cheerful and amicable he is as a whole; his demeanor made me much less nervous and way more excited!

    We chose Tim after reading multiple raving reviews of how excellent and personal his ceremonies are. He did not disappoint. He kept in touch, was on time, and even calmed down some of my bridal jitters. The personalized ceremony was my favorite part of our wedding day. Multiple guests were commenting on how great he was afterwards. Be as in depth as you can in answering his questionnaire for best results.
