Here's what satisfied brides and grooms have said:

Norm was amazing at our wedding! He was prompt and courteous with everyone involved. Our hard to please wedding coordinator (who has a very select few people she likes to work with) approached us and said she was extremely impressed with Norm and would be more than happy to work with him again. I highly recommend Norm for your big day! He worked with us to perfect our vows and even threw a little humor in to our ceremony as he could sense our nerves as we said "I do." Thank you so much for everything Norm!!!

I am so glad we hired Norm. I could not imagine a better officiant for our special day. He went above and beyond to work with us to make sure everything was just perfect. Then the day of the wedding, he did everything possible to make the day special. Norm texted me that morning to talk about what a beautiful day we had for our wedding. He is so down to earth, kind and thoughtful. Just a pure class act! I would recommend Norm to anyone and everyone looking for an awesome officiant their wedding. Brides: look no further, Norm is the best! Trust me, you too will be so glad you did!

Lovely ceremony!

We hired Norm as our wedding officiant, and we would highly recommend him to anybody in search of one! He allowed us the freedom to personalize our ceremony and vows, while simultaneously adding all of the necessary touches required from an officiant. It made that aspect of the wedding very easy. Thanks, Norm!

Wonderful Officiant

Norm was wonderful! He made the ceremony memorable and added some humor so it wasn't so long and boring. We could not have chosen anyone better! Thank you!

Excellent Experience!

We asked Norm for an unconventional option - to have him sit in and view the ceremony while my cousin performed (since TN won't let just anyone get ordained online). Norm was up for the assignment and even helped my cousin curate the ceremony and walked her through his tips and tricks as officiant. He was incredibly kind and pleasant to work with, we would absolutely recommend him to any couples looking for an officiant!
