Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant

5.0

Offers 10 ceremony types
Starts at $150
Serves Wheeling, WV

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!”

“Phenomenal & Family-Making Officiant: Pastor Carla Our wedding ceremony in July 2025 was made absolutely incredible thanks to Pastor Carla. Her performance as an officiant was nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment we started planning, every interaction with Pastor Carla showed how supportive, respectful, caring, and helpful she is. She brings a beautiful presence and constant smile that is both calming and infectious. We especially appreciated her dedication, as she was willing to travel for our event. The entire process was refreshingly affordable and straightforward, eliminating any unnecessary stress. By the end of the ceremony, we truly felt like we hadn't just hired an officiant, but had genuinely made her family. We recommend Pastor Carla over a thousand times—she is a treasure!”

“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.”
