I am Holland, a wedding officiant based in West Virginia who serves couples all along the East Coast. I create custom ceremonies that feel true to who you are. 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 (44 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!

Working with Tim was a dream come true! He made the whole process of working together simple and easy to understand. We had fun as a couple answering his questions and he drafted a perfect ceremony that us and our families loved. He came to our rehearsal and made us feel so at ease about the entire process on our wedding day. He also has a wonderful spirit and amazing stage presence. We couldn’t recommend him more! We are so happy he was a part of our special day. Thank you Tim!

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.

Working with the team at I Got A Love Jones Events was an absolute pleasure. While I communicated with Sarah anytime of day she was there and ready with a reply! She took everything in no matter how much I was confused and nervous throughout the process because of course this is a once in a lifetime experience. She took everything I said and made it beautiful! I sent her a super long poem to read for the ceremony and the delivery of it was everything I ever would want on our very special day. In all, I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to unite our union.

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 am also happy to perform interfaith ceremonies. I don't discriminate when it comes to sexuality and gender expression.

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.

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!
