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 is a truly wonderful wedding officiant! Highly recommend him, especially for anyone looking for a secular ceremony. My husband and I were just married by Tim this past week, and he created such a beautiful ceremony for us, with personal touches specific to our story and our lives. He has such a warm and calming presence, perfect to help soothe your nerves when your anxiety is climbing. And I was super anxious for first few minutes, but we were in good hands with Tim. He can add little jokes and make you laugh while still respecting the solemnity of the occasion. We had interviewed three officiants via video or phone chat, and although he wasn’t as cheap as the other two (but still reasonable rates!), we had a good feeling about him and went with our gut based on vibes, and have no regrets. Our guests thought he was great, too. And he just seems like a really cool and friendly guy. Reach out to Tim if you need someone to perform your wedding ceremony, he knows what he’s doing!
