Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant 
Rating: 5.0 (43 reviews)
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 Greathouse, the Ohio Wedding Officiant, was amazing, personable, and hilarious. His work was top-notch, and he was truly the best there is! He made our vows perfect - heartfelt and funny. Even a year later, we still get compliments on how wonderful Tim was. He was so personable with everything, and his added humor was just top-notch. He made our special day so much better, speaking like a good friend who had known us for years, not just an officiant. I can't recommend Tim enough!

Hi! I’m Brittany, an LGBTQ+ inclusive wedding officiant based in Youngstown, Ohio, creating prismatic ceremonies for couples of all backgrounds and identities in Northeast Ohio. Whether you’re planning a vibrant celebration, cozy elopement, or modern micro wedding, I bring heart, humor, and custom scripts to make your day unforgettable. I chose to be ordained by American Marriage Ministries because of their mission to support equal access to marriage. I am a safe space for queer couples navigating the wedding industry.

Brittany was the very best choice I made for my wedding!! She has a talent for understanding your vision and making it come to life (while honoring your budget!) She did all the leg work finding and haggling with vendors and made it so I could plan my wedding from another state, and work full time, without feeling overwhelmed by wedding planning. I may have been the least stressed bride on the planet!! She did a great job communicating with me and keeping my nerves in check and the way she managed the days events left me to enjoy just being a bride! 10 out of 10! She's a thrifty queen's dream come true!

Let’s make your “I do” truly mean something.

As a wedding DJ, I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Minister Sharnise Sears both at events and professionally as a fellow board member with WIPA Cleveland.

I started as a Justice of the Peace in 1986 and got ordained in 2011. Have been officiating for 39 years. Love meeting the families of my clients. I try to put feelings into the ceremonies when reading them.

From our first conversation, we knew Tom from Sunset Weddings Tri-State was the right choice to officiate our ceremony. Tom was professional and kind throughout the entire planning process, staying attentive to every detail and making our requests his priority. On the day of our wedding, Tom went with the flow when we needed to make last-minute changes and was present for all the little moments that mattered. What really stood out was how he advocated for me when I was stressed—he just knew what I needed. Tom’s care and attention made our ceremony feel truly personal, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We're so grateful for his sweetness and dedication to making our day special.

Rev. Dennis M. Wargo was great throughout the entire wedding planning process. He was easy to get in touch with, explained everything in great detail, and allowed us to customize our ceremony as we pleased. As a retired catholic priest, he was able to mimic a catholic ceremony for us outside at our venue, which is something very rare but very important for our families. The day of the ceremony, he was prompt, helped to ease our worries, and provided us with the best ceremony that we could imagine. Our family still talks about how much they loved our ceremony.

We found her on The Knot, and honestly, it felt like hitting the jackpot. We’d been dreaming of this handfasting for over 30 years, and from the very first conversation, she made it clear she wasn’t just showing up—she was living it with us. She checked in, laughed with us through our last-minute freakouts, and somehow kept her cool while we spiraled over the tiniest details. She instantly got our vibe—bold colors, wildflowers, handfasting cords, quirks, chaos, all of it—and even brought in a Star Trek reading that made our hearts soar (yes, she’s that awesome). She didn’t just go through the motions; she elevated our day, made us cry, made us laugh until our cheeks hurt, and somehow made everything feel like us. If you want someone who’s part officiant, part fairy godmother, and all heart, she’s your person. Seriously, stop looking—just book her.

Hi, I’m Matthew Loveless, and I’m thrilled that you’re considering me to be a part of your special day.
