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 care about the content of their ceremony and want the declaration of their love and commitment to be truly unforgettable. 800+ ceremonies, 500+ rehearsals, 17 years!

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!

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.

TLDR: Amy coordinated our ceremony to perfection and did such a good job, people asked how long we had known her for, assuming she was a longtime family friend!! Our ceremony was perfectly us - it told our love story with tears, laughter, and so much joy.  The long version: my husband and I had no clue where to start when looking for an officiant. We wanted someone who could coordinate the ceremony, made the process easy, and aligns with our progressive views (LGBTQ rights, for example).  Amy M. was all of this and more. She made planning so easy! She asked if we wanted the ceremony religious, if we wanted to do our own vows, who we wanted in the ceremony, etc. She even mentioned a Celtic hand-fasting ceremony after learning of our trip to Ireland, and we ended up doing one! It was such a special moment. We decided to do our own vows and repeat traditional vows, something we didn’t even know was an option.  At the rehearsal, Amy navigated family dynamics, older relatives with mobility and hearing issues, and our stage fright with ease. She worked well with our other vendors, like our venue-provided coordinator and our dj on microphone set up. She made us feel so at ease! At the ceremony, Amy was a rockstar! She helped with last minute nerves and an issue with my mom’s dress that I only found out about weeks later! As for the ceremony itself, it was PERFECT! It was sentimental, goofy, loving, and full of happy tears.  My favorite moment was when Amy finished my husbands vows, and tried to start mine. I misheard “I, Sophia” as “Hi Sophia”, cheerfully said “Hi!” And stared at her for seconds until realizing my mistake. The ensuing laughter washed away all my nerves and made for a memory I will never forget.  We cannot recommend Amy at Wows and Vows enough!!!! Thank you for everything!

I could not have asked for a better person to officiate my wedding than Robbie!

You would have never guessed he only had a week to prepare for our ceremony! He made sure to meet with us to go over everything we needed and rolled with all of our last minute changes. He is incredibly organized, flexible, kind, and an all around amazing person. We are so incredibly grateful we were able to be married by such a great person and friend!

Your families will thank you for getting somebody who makes the ceremony light while still making clear how beautiful it is that you found each other. I officiate all over the US.

We love Chris! He was so incredibly genuine, kind, hilarious, and he knows how to handle a crowd. He was certainly born to be doing what he does. He spent months in communication with my husband and I making sure he knew us as a couple. I recently attended a wedding where the officiant mispronounced the brides name throughout the whole ceremony. Chris is the opposite of that. He’s going to know you and your story by the time he’s up there marrying you. And to top it all off, he dropped a wisdom bomb piece of advice on my husband and I, on the day of our wedding, that I think of often. I absolutely cannot recommend him enough!

When we began planning our wedding, we thought it would be nearly impossible to create a ceremony that would make everyone happy. My husband and I come from very different religious backgrounds, and we truly had no idea where to start. Left to our own devices, we probably would have just gone to the courthouse, but we knew our families (especially mine) hoped for something much more traditional. I was so pleasantly surprised to find Your Wedding Officiant and learn that we could build a ceremony from scratch- one that honored tradition while still feeling true to us. We worked closely with Reverend Dennis, who guided us every step of the way. He was incredibly kind, communicative, flexible, and such a pleasure to work with. Thanks to him, we were able to create a beautiful ceremony that thoughtfully blended our families’ values with our own preferences. I can’t overstate how meaningful it was to have so much control and customization without sacrificing reverence or structure. I would recommend Your Wedding Officiant to absolutely anyone. We are so grateful to Reverend Dennis and the team for helping make our day unforgettable.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!
