Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant 
Rating: 5.0 (98 reviews)

  • Officiant
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $150
  • Serves Empire, OH

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
“Tim was excellent! Our ceremony would not have been so perfect without him. The ceremony was the perfect length and he made all of our wedding day jitters wash away. Our guests loved how he told our story it had just the right amount of personal touch. He was so attentive and constantly checked in on us leading us to the big day so we had nothing to worry about. I would absolutely recommend Tim for you wedding day.”

I hired them for day of coordination for prior to that you’ll have 2 meetings and be able to call/text Melissa about anything you’ll need! She did a fantastic job coordinating the rehearsal and making sure everyone knew what they were doing. The day of the hemming on my underskirt was falling apart because my shoes had rhinestones and I could barely walk because how tangled it was! The minute Melissa and Kourtney got there, they pulled out their scissors and safety pins and fixed my dress in no time! They set up my ceremony space which was absolutely beautiful and made sure everyone and everything was where it needed to be for the ceremony. After the ceremony they brought out ice water since it was so hot and then later brought us food from the cocktail hour and drinks. Which was great since we were starving! I didn’t have a dj because we had an intimate wedding and the yard games out in the patio, so Melissa announced everything for us which was amazing! I just couldn’t had made this wedding everything I’ve dreamed of without her and Kourtney!

  • Planner
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Empire, OH

We will always be a safe place to bring your full self, all your wild ideas, and what makes your love story YOURS to the wedding planning table. Belonging will always be our highest value because (a) what could possibly matter more than that; and (b) creativity flows freely when we are not worrying about being judged. And free-flowing creativity = THE BEST weddings: ones that allow you to feel at ease, be yourselves, and invite people who love you into the resulting fabulous party. If this resonates with you, we'd be honored to be your planning team. Let's be weird together 🩷

“Emily is truly an incredible planner to work alongside. Her communication is prompt and thoughtful, and she’s always quick to get clear answers to any questions that come up. I never have to wonder what’s happening with an event — everything feels organized and intentional. Her design style is completely one-of-a-kind; she’s endlessly creative and genuinely collaborative, always trusting and encouraging her vendors’ creative freedom.”

“Teej is a incredible photographer and great photographer. He takes beautiful photos, knows how to get people comfortable and loose in front of the camera, and shows up with both his own ideas and the ability to make yours happen too. Would happily recommend him for anyone looking for a wedding or engagement photographer.”

J Helbig Cheese-Free DJ+MC 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,701
  • Serves Empire, OH

We’ve all witnessed this: A wedding DJ who thought they were the main event – the endless mic chatter, the forced games, the tacky props, and the "impromptu" dance lessons that kill the momentum of a perfectly good night. It’s tacky, it’s insulting to your guests and – quite frankly – I’m over it!   Which is why I built a brand that does the exact opposite with a different set of rules. A boutique, "Non-Cheesy, Non-Obnoxious" experience where the vibe is comfortable, inclusive, organic FUN and where the soundtrack doesn't suck. Because it reflects you! Just like your reception should.

“Jack was a true partner during our wedding planning and on our day. He worked with us on song selection (there were a couple of songs we drew a blank on), helped fine-tune the schedule of events and worked with our photographer and venue to iron out the details and make sure they were all on the same page. We kept the song selection up to him as much as we could, providing some "dos" and "don't" and he did the rest. We got several comments on the music after the fact from both friends and family, so he managed to please both crowds. I'd highly recommend Jack to anyone.”
