Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant 

5.0

Canton, OH
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $150
  • Serves Ohio

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.

Working with Tim was a dream come true! He made the whole process of working together simple and easy to understand. We had fun as a couple answering his questions and he drafted a perfect ceremony that us and our families loved. He came to our rehearsal and made us feel so at ease about the entire process on our wedding day. He also has a wonderful spirit and amazing stage presence. We couldn’t recommend him more! We are so happy he was a part of our special day. Thank you Tim!

Wows And Vows

Columbus, OH

  • Serves Ohio

When Meb was in the 9th grade, she became an announcer for Varsity basketball. That's when she learned how to work a crowd. She's been a public speaker ever since. She's been an officiant for over 30 years. In 2015, she developed an online presence. She then trained her 2 best friends to officiate as well. Their personalities are different, but they have the same style. Who wouldn't want to be in business with their besties? We now officiate around 70 weddings a year and each one is custom-written. We enjoy getting to know our couples, preparing them for the big day, and exceeding their expectations for a ceremony.

We got an instant GREAT vibe from Meb from the first interaction via email. Then after we met up with her in person, we knew SHE WAS THE ONE! My partner and I are of a different faith so finding someone that would honor that and help us navigate that was important to us. Meb provided examples of readings/prayers/stories/vows to get an idea of what we could use. She also sent us questions separately and then used that information to customize our ceremony. Meb has so many other added personal touches that made us so confident in choosing her. She has such a calming presence that were very welcoming at the reception and day of wedding! We had several guests compliment her presentation and were impressed with how the ceremony flowed. She is a true professional...no need to worry if she steps out of the photo for the first kiss or how to hold hands or your bouquet during the dip :) We found Meb via the "Preferred Vendors" at our venue. We feel we have a new family member now :)

Whether it’s a traditionally formatted wedding, non-religious ceremony, earth-based handfasting, or a simple elopement at a park, I am here to make sure your wedding is exactly what you want it to be.

Robert, The Uncommon Officiant was fantastic to work with for our wedding ceremony. He has a very clear, professional, and fun communication style that made the planning process effortless. Robert paid fantastic attention to detail and was extremely accommodating throughout the process. He delivered the ceremony with a perfect balance of humor and heartfelt compassion, making the experience truly special for us and our guests.

Magical vows wedding officiant

Burton, MI
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $60
  • Serves Ohio for additional fees

Hi, I’m Matthew Loveless, and I’m thrilled that you’re considering me to be a part of your special day. My journey as a wedding officiant began in 2014 when I was asked to officiate my brother’s wedding. It wasn’t your typical ceremony—picture me wielding a sledgehammer! But that’s when I realized something: I love performing weddings, and the more unique and unconventional, the better! Since then, I’ve been passionate about creating ceremonies that are as distinctive as the couples I serve.

Matthew was the best decision we made for our wedding day. I would recommend him over and over and over again! He truly showed up and gave his all for us, all in a tweed suit in humid 90 Michigan weather, nonetheless. Communication was immediate and thorough. With the addition of next step advice and willingness to be included in those steps. He uses his unique personality to relate to you both and if you have the trust for him to portray yourselves through him and his speech, you can really see that he throughly enjoys what he’s been doing for all these years. We had a hand fasting ceremony and wouldn’t you know it, I forgot our cord. He had absolutely zero second thoughts to taking his tie off of his own neck for us to use right then and there and he completely saved our ceremony from one of the things I was most excited about. Not only that, he personally mailed and updated us timely, on our license and progress after the ceremony. We had countless compliments on him from friends, family and guests and each time we couldn’t agree more. I don’t think we’ve told anyone our story yet without including him in it. For memories sake I hope he did make it into a few photos! BOOK HIM!

Minister Sharnise Sears

Willoughby, OH

  • Starts at $1,250
  • Serves Ohio

Hi, I’m Minister Sharnise Sears, a licensed wedding officiant and certified marriage educator who believes your ceremony should feel like *you*, not a script pulled off the internet. I work with thoughtful, intentional couples who want their wedding day to be beautiful, but their *marriage* to be even better. If you're careful about who you spend your money with (and rightfully so), you’ll find I bring heart, purpose, and just enough personality to make your ceremony unforgettable, in the best way. Let’s make your “I do” truly mean something.

Sharnise was such an integral part of our wedding day and preparation. She provided premarital coaching services to us and acted as our officiant. We would recommend her to anyone for either service in an instant, but absolutely do the premarital coaching!! The experience is not cookie cutter or scripted. She really takes the time to get to know you individually and as a couple. The way she can simultaneously guide difficult conversations with truth and loving kindness is a gift. It is also such an incredible feeling to walk into a marriage feeling equipped. Sharnise's talents don't end with coaching though. She is also an incredible officiant. One of the biggest compliments we had about our wedding was how beautiful the ceremony was. She made sure everything flowed flawlessly no matter the minor hiccups. You'll want her by your side for all your emotions, both tears and laughter. With most vendors all the preparation is for the wedding day, this is such a unique opportunity to have someone on your team who also prepares you for the time after the wedding. Our biggest piece of advice to anyone who is engaged is prepare for BOTH the wedding day and marriage. And if you're looking for a way to do that, look to Sharnise Sears. The conversations are just the beginning. Thank you, Sharnise!
