Whether you are eloping in the woods or planning an wedding surrounded by all of your loved ones, I bring a calm and caring presence to your day. With over one hundred weddings of experience, I offer full support, thoughtful planning, and meaningful words that reflect your story and your values.

Summit Weddings & Elopements were an exceptional choice for our wedding officiant. From the very beginning, their communication style was honest, realistic, and showed true integrity. The value and quality of their work was amazing - they went the extra mile to ensure our special day was perfect. For example, they helped us find a hairdresser for our remote location and handled the inclement weather at our outdoor venue with great grace and professionalism. The officiant, Holland Hook, is a truly inspired individual who made the wedding prep and planning process seamless. Our photos were of exceptional quality, and everything Summit Weddings & Elopements touched made our day absolutely perfect and memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better team to officiate our wedding.

Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant 
Rating: 5.0 (43 reviews)
Canton, OH
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $150
  • Serves West Virginia

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!

I couldn’t be happier with how our ceremonies turned out thanks to his expertise. I was always anxious about deciding who should officiate our wedding. My husband and I are not religious, and we always looked at each other and cringed a little when weddings would delve into the religious aspect of the ceremony, as it just made us feel weird about what we would possibly have said during those parts for us. So it was important to me to find an officiant who would respect our secular wishes. I reached out to Tim all the way back in 2023 to see what he was about, and what followed was a nearly 30-minute conversation that felt as natural as talking to someone I had known forever. He was personable, kind, and he made me laugh! I immediately felt so comfortable with him; I knew he would be our guy. So we booked with him for our ceremony planned on 11.01.25. Fast forward to 2024: something came up, and my then-fiancé and I needed to elope immediately. I reached out to Tim, and he offered to do the elopement for us, a simpler version of what was to come. It was a beautiful spring day on 05.01.24, made even more special by the words he said to bind us together legally at a park he recommended in private, just the three of us. It was so nice to get to know him a little more through that interaction, and we knew we made the right choice as soon as we met him! Fast forward once more to 2025: it was finally the year of our ceremony! Tim walked us through what it would be like, and as an anxious bride, I felt so much more at ease as soon as he arrived at our rehearsal. It was like he knew exactly how I felt, and he helped me wrangle our family into getting things moving. Then, finally, our day was here, a crisp but clear fall day on 11.01.25. Tim was the calm, happy energy we needed to pull everything together. The ceremony- I couldn’t believe how beautiful it ended up being. He was everything I wanted in an officiant and more. If we got married a third time, I couldn’t imagine anyone trying to fill his shoes! I would recommend Tim to the moon and back. We truly loved having him as a part of our big day!

I had the pleasure of having Carla officiate my wedding in September and she was a joy to work with every step of the way. She really takes the time to get to know you and your relationship with your partner, by the time we had the wedding Carla was like a part of the family! She helps a lot with other wedding questions as well and gives valuable insight. She had everyone laughing and smiling during the wedding and brought an amazing/loving vibe to the whole event.

We are beyond thrilled to have found Your Wedding Officiant! Working with Reverend Dennis was nothing short of a dream. From the very beginning, he was organized, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful, but beyond all of that, he was simply a joy to be around. His passion for what he does is evident in every interaction and every detail of the ceremony. One of our favorite parts of the entire wedding process was collaborating with Rev. Dennis to create a ceremony that felt truly personal and meaningful. He took the time to understand our story, our values, and what mattered most to us, and then helped shape a ceremony that reflected exactly that. Rev. Dennis guided us with care, insight, and genuine warmth from start to finish. We are so grateful to have had him be such a special part of our day. It wouldn’t have been the same without him!

Silver Spring, MD

  • Serves West Virginia

Are you looking for a bespoke marriage ceremony that is crafted for you? Whether secular or religious, I'll approach your ceremony with the reverence it deserves. I care deeply about the meaning of ritual, and will ensure that each detail reflects your needs. As an an ordained minster via the Universal Life Church, I'm a strong believer in religious pluralism and shall tailor a unique ceremony to honor your tradition(s). I am also happy to perform interfaith ceremonies. I don't discriminate when it comes to sexuality and gender expression. Whether gay, straight, queer, trans, bi, pan, or poly, I will officiate your wedding with joy!

Elliott was the officiant for a wedding I attended in NYC in February 2026. The service was written in conjunction with the grooms so that their personalities shone through. Everyone in attendance could get a sense of who they were and what they meant to each other, regardless of how involved you had been in their relationship before. It felt like the ceremony was in good hands, and Elliott was flexible with any small issues that arose from sound equipment or last-minute adjustments. I would recommend letting him steward your love through its next beautiful stage.

I bring a calm, guiding presence to every celebration and offer support beyond the ceremony, including rehearsal coordination, reception blessings, and private first-look blessings. Serving Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia.. I celebrate love in EVERY form.

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.

Gemma was absolutely wonderful to work with as our wedding officiant! From the very beginning, she was so attentive to my wishes and made sure every detail felt personal and meaningful. She really took the time to understand what we wanted, and that care showed through in every part of the ceremony…even down to getting it finished and us pronounced right at 11:11! I think we had 30 seconds to go but she did her best to listen to my wishes! It was such a bonus that she also did photos for us—she captured beautiful moments that we’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for someone warm, professional, and truly invested in making your day special, I highly recommend Gemma!
