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

  • THE BEST!

    Tim is an absolute gem. Throughout the whole process he was amazing. His questionnaire really allowed him to know us as a couple and created the perfect ceremony for us. He treated us like old friends, and family had even asked if we knew him prior. He made sure to understand our story, and that everything was tailored to us. He seems to genuinely happy to be an officiant and is doing what he was meant to be on this earth. Also had a good laugh that me, my wife, and Tim were all wearing doc martens (loved the hot pink laces). I cannot recommend him enough! If you’re looking for an officiant with a good sense of humor, calming presence, and is really all about making your ceremony special and personal, look no further. Thank you Tim for making our day so memorable! -Katie and Rita

    Tim is the best! We received so many compliments about him and were even told by a couple people that ours was the best ceremony they'd ever been to because of him! He makes the ceremony so personal that people were blown away when we told them we found him online and didn't know him beforehand. He's incredibly friendly, funny, and responsive before the wedding as well - everything working with him went very smoothly. I would recommend him 1,000%!

  • Highly Recommend!

    Tim is wonderful! He was not only a calming presence on our big day, but he wrote us a personal ceremony without even meeting the both of us in person prior to our rehearsal (he does send a very detailed questionnaire to aid him in his writing). He was early to both our rehearsal and our ceremony, and was constantly checking in with us to make sure we felt prepared and relaxed. He has a wonderful sense of humor and made sure my husband and I were both laughing and smiling during our entire ceremony! I received many glowing compliments from our guests. I can’t thank Tim enough and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to officiate a wedding ceremony!
