Weddings by Thomas P.

Thomas was absolutely amazing!!!! I was scambleing for an officiant last minute and only gave Thomas about a week to put together our ceremony. My husband is a marine and we had to reschedule our appointment numerous times and Thomas was just so relaxed and on top of things that it totally put my mind at ease. Not only was he super flexible and understanding, he put together a ceremony that was so reflective of my husband and I. My uncle, who is a pastor, thought that Thomas did such a good job, he said he was going to have to re-design how he puts together ceremonies! We got many comliments on how lovely the ceremony was and some family memebers had no idea how my husband and I met so they were thankful that Thomas worked that into the ceremony. He costs the same as any other officiant you could hire, but gives you so much more! We are so thankful Thomas was a part of our big day!

When it came to finding someone "special" to perform our wedding ceremony, we were so lucky to have found Tom. I called him, and within 24 hours he returned my call. My husband and I met with him and he took the time and attention to get to really know us. He attended our rehearsal and put us all at ease. Our ceremony was unforgettable. Tom made it very personal yet added a touch of humor. I have and will continue to recommend Tom. He made our wedding perfect!

Thomas P was amazing. Even though we were half way across the country preparing for our wedding, he made every effort to intimately get to know my wife and I. He had us answer a number of questions independently about how we met, our families, our expereinces together, and our hopes and dreams. He compiled all of this information into a truly personalized ceremony. He took charge at the rehearsal and put us and our families at ease about the big day. When the day finally arrived, he performed like a seasoned veteran. I received many compliments from family and friends at how personal his ceremony was. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant. He exceeded our expectations many fold!

My husband and I cannot say enough about Thomas. He is an amazing person as well as officiant. Even though he advertises himself as making personal touches to weddings, he far surpasses this. He made our ceremony so personal and fitted to everything we wanted in it. He was so nice to meet with us earlier that week and get to know us. He was there to explain everything and be a calm presence. He was very easy to get a hold of and would answer back very attentively. We think of him as a true blessing in our lives. If you want a ceremony that is personal, moving, and beautiful, choose Thomas. I would recommend him to anyone. I hope our paths will cross with him again. Thank you so much!!!!

If you are looking for a top notch officiant, look no further. My bride and I were both in graduate school in Boston when we were in the process of planning our wedding in our hometown, San Diego. One of the challenges while on the East coast was locating an officiant who we could rely on and feel comfortable with. On our first phone conversation with Tom, we felt completely at ease with him and knew he understood the mood we wanted to convey for the ceremony. We had several conversations with him prior to the wedding and met him in person a week before the wedding. He really gets to know you as couple before the wedding and it really translates during the ceremony . As a couple, we probably had lot more questions than he was accustomed to but Tom was always gracious and patient with all our questions. As for the ceremony, I really can’t say enough; he was wonderful. He completely captured the love and affection my wife and I have for each other with just the perfect amount of humor. I actually had people ask me at the wedding if Tom had been a lifelong friend since he seemed to understand us so well during the ceremony. Thanks again Tom for being a part of our beautiful day.

Geesh where do I start with Thomas? He is simply amazing! I cannot tell you how blessed we were to have him as our officiant. He took so much time with us, getting to know us and our story. The ceremony was a true reflection of who we are individually and who we are together. We have gotten rave reviews from our guests on how amazing the officiant was and how nice it was to get an insight into our relationship the day of the wedding. Thomas did some counseling with us prior to the "big day" and his words of wisdom and advice will carry on with us forever. He was on time, delivered the message perfectly and looked very sharp for the wedding photos. I can't say enough amazing things about Thomas! You would be honored to have him officiate your wedding!

Thomas Potwora, This is not so much a review, but a huge THANK YOU for what you did and how you captured our wedding. I want everyone else to read it so they know what they are getting!! My husband and I attended a wedding where you were the officiant. It was in October of 2010 in Temecula, CA at a gorgeous winery. We were simply in awe of how you captured what that couple wanted to say through you. You described them as individuals then as a couple...simply amazing in how you were able to capture each person's essence, then their commitment, love, and happiness to be together. At any rate, when we left that wedding we immediately wondered if you would be available to do ours. We waited a while to contact you, but thank God you were available to do ours. We met with you and your lovely wife, Melissa, for some lunch and discussion about what we wanted to convey at our wedding. I couldn't believe the amount of time and detail you went into during that lunch regarding our values as individuals, morals, desires, and character. Your focus to detail was amazing and you had gotten us thinking afterwards about each other, which made our commitment to each other that much stronger. I knew how we felt about each other, but I think for us to convey to a third person while in the presence of each other made us just "know" we were meant for each other. There were about 100 people at our ceremony itself, which seemed to be a lot, and about 150 at the reception. I was asked numerous times about your services and provided your name to every single person who asked as they know someone, or are related to someone, who will be getting married soon. There were more compliments on your ceremony than I have ever heard at any previous wedding. We loved that although our wedding was not a traditional "religious" ceremony there were references to God, spirituality, and our beliefs in one Creator of all there is...just how we requested it...spiritual but not "by the book" religious, for our purposes. Your interpretation of how I feel about my husband, and how he feels about me, was 100% spot-on. We've watched the video a couple of times and there were moments in the ceremony that we simply didn't remember since we were both nervous as a cat in a dog pound. It was a gorgeous ceremony and the words you used, how you used them, and certain inflections during times of the ceremony really enhanced it's meaning to both of us! I want to thank you for our making our ceremony the best I've ever seen, and the only one I'll ever be a part of! I hope you get to officiate many other weddings and make other couples' days as special as you made ours! Professional, courteous, and somewhat humorous is how I would describe our service from the time we met with you and Melissa through the reception itself. We are glad you were available and couldn't see how things would have turned out had you not been!! I HIGHLY recommend your services to anyone seeking an officiant....if they want a quality service that is!! Thank you, Thomas Potwora!

We are so happy to have found Thomas. He was so helpful when we first met. He gave us ideas and provided an insight that we had not thought of previously. This sparked ideas that ultimatly made our day so much more special. He spoke extremely well, has a great posture and was a wonderful public speaker. Thomas spoke to our wedding party of 85 people. It was beautiful. He tailored the speech to us and talked to specific events that we have experienced. He did all of this very effeciently and only required one meeting to put it all together.
