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 amazing to work with from start to finish! From our initial phone call with Tim, we knew right away that we wanted him to be a part of our big day. He is a true professional and really took the time to learn details about us as a couple in order to curate the perfect ceremony. We couldn’t have been happier with how it turned out! We also had sort of a unique request and needed a non-family member/friend to deliver one of our rehearsal dinner speeches. Tim, without question, gave up an extra hour of his Friday evening to deliver the speech for us and we couldn’t have been more grateful! I would absolutely recommend Tim to any couples looking for a professional, reliable, and personable 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!

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