About Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant

Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant

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 truly care about the content of their ceremony and want the declaration of their love and commitment to be truly unforgettable.

Your ceremony will focus on thoughtful, bold insights on love and commitment, and personal stories and details about your relationship - NOT religion. You'll answer a detailed survey that puts you in control of every aspect of your ceremony, and you'll answer insightful personal questions so that I can share some highlights of your romance with your family and friends. With 15 years in the business and over 700 ceremonies officiated, I bring the enthusiasm and eloquence to deliver a deeply moving yet lighthearted ceremony, a relaxed demeanor that will keep you calm and centered, and unparalleled expertise in wedding ceremony craft and theory.

In three words: Calm, Creative, Fun

Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant packages

Custom Ceremony

Description

Custom ceremonies begin with a questionnaire that gives you complete control over all aspects of the ceremony, like vows, readings, remembrances, ceremony extras, and virtually any other element you can imagine, as well as insightful personal questions so that I can share some highlights of your romance with your family and friends. The best ceremony they've ever seen - that's what they'll all say!

What’s included
  • A customized 15-20 minute ceremony
  • Fully customizable vows, readings, and more
  • Custom-written passages all about you two
  • Unlimited, free consultation on the ceremony
  • Rehearsal optional (for an additional fee)

Elopement Ceremony

Description

For couples who want a warm, lighthearted ceremony, but don't have the need or budget for a custom-written ceremony. It's a purely secular, 15-minute ceremony full of deep insights and thoughtful reflections on love and commitment. I'll arrive early to the ceremony you and help coordinate the processional, recessional, and other ceremony details.

What’s included
  • Thoughtful reflections on love and commitment
  • Questions of intent, vows, exchange of rings
  • Secular closing blessing & pronouncement
  • Pre-ceremony coordination with couple and vendors
  • 30-minute pre-ceremony arrival time

Flash Ceremony

Description

It's a 2-minute ceremony, over in a flash - hence the name! This is mainly for couples who mainly just want their marriage licensed signed, as a brief ceremony is still legally required. Attendees are limited to immediate family only. Flash ceremonies are only offered Sunday through Thursday at or before 11am, at Canton Garden Center at Stadium Park.

What’s included
  • A 2-minute ceremony (no exaggeration!)
  • For couples who just want their license signed
  • I'll return the marriage license to the courthouse

    We could not have asked for a better officiant than Tim. From start to finish, he made the entire experience feel effortless, meaningful, and completely us. One of the things we appreciated most was the thoughtful and detailed ceremony planning form he provided—it guided us through every aspect of the ceremony and helped us clarify exactly what we wanted it to feel like. It made the process so easy and stress-free, even when we weren’t sure where to begin. Tim took the time to get to know our story, and he brought such warmth, sincerity, and just the right amount of humor to the ceremony. He told our story in a way that was both deeply personal and engaging for everyone there. It was heartfelt without being too heavy, light without being too casual—truly the perfect balance. So many of our guests told us it was one of the best ceremonies they’d ever attended. He made us feel completely at ease, and his presence up there felt like a true friend cheering us on. If you're looking for an officiant who is organized, genuine, and incredibly talented at what he does—Tim is your guy. We’re so grateful he was part of our day.

  • Amazing officiant who loves what he does.

    Tim was an absolutely incredible officiant and you can tell he absolutely loves his job. He makes a point to ask the perfect questions from his couples that will lead to such a beautiful ceremony. Our wedding was in September of 24, and we still get people mentioning how awesome Tim was. I'd totally suggest him to anyone.

  • The best officiant!

    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!
