Reverend Tim Mills

Tim was a wonderful officiant. He married my wife and I in August and it went over perfectly. Tim knows what works and what doesn’t in a ceremony and freely offers his advice and recommendations. Tim came to see both of us before the ceremony to calm any nerves we still had and put us at ease.
Guests all had compliments about the ceremony, how it went, content, length, and even mentioned his voice (deep and soothing).
Thanks Tim for doing such a great job!

Reverend Mills performed our wedding ceremony last Saturday August 29^th and did a fantastic job of mixing our faith with our love for each other and added a perfect amount of humor, which made our wedding even more special than we expected! He had a wonderful approach, letting us give lots of input to the structure of the ceremony. His idea of starting the ceremony by reading stories that my husband Willy and I wrote about how we met and fell in love was the perfect setting for an emotional and meaningful ceremony for us and our guests. It helped us both stay very relaxed with no nervousness at all so we could enjoy the whole day. His voice was a perfect speaking voice for our backyard wedding. He really cared about us personally from our first meeting throughout the planning process. He was prompt and many of our guests commented on what a great job he did. They wanted to know where we found him. This was one of the most wonderful and heartwarming experiences of our life! We felt that God led us to him so that our day would be perfect! We would recommend him highly to others planning for their wedding. Thanks again Reverend Mills for your role in our wedding!

As a wedding planner, I’ve seen every kind of ceremony you can imagine. Reverend Tim is the best! So, when it came to my special day, there wasn’t even a thought of who would perform our ceremony.
With all the stress planning a wedding can be, you need someone you can trust, rely on and have complete confidence to perform the most important part of the day! Reverend Tim is just that. He’s just so good that you really don’t even need to think about the ceremony, he’ll handle everything.
He asked my husband and I to write a little story about each other that he would read during our ceremony because I knew I would be too emotional to try and read my own vows. This was the most perfect idea and our guests keep talking about how wonderful that was, ALL HIS IDEA!
Our guests still talk about how amazing Reverend Tim was at our wedding! Thank you so much for being such a huge part of our big day, Reverend Tim!

Reverend Tim performed the ceremony for our June 6 wedding at Solage. He was just incredible. Tim is simple the best. We met with him about 16 months prior to our wedding when we were out vendor searching in Napa. He took the time to meet and chat with us for an hour so that we could get to know him and decide if he was the right guy for our wedding. We knew we wanted a civil ceremony without religious tones, and he was fine with that. He allowed us to personalize it with our stories and personal choice for a reading at the end of it in place of a prayer. His voice and delivery are unbeatable, and his method for the ceremony with letters to each other is original and personal. Many guests assumed he had known us for years just because of how special he made the ceremony. If you are looking for a fantastic officiant to make your day extra special, go with Reverend Tim. He is a wonderful addition to any wedding.

Tim was phenomenal! Tim performed our ceremony on February 21^st and he made our wedding ceremony very special, we loved his great sense of humor! thank you so much…

Reverend Tim Mills just officiated my wedding on Friday, he was fantastic! We met with him in person a few months before the wedding, and we knew right away he was the one. He’s funny, smart, and has a great voice.
On the day of the wedding, Tim showed up early, gave me a bit of friendly advice and words to calm me down (because, of course I was a wreck). My parents were 30 minutes late, and Tim was very understanding and patient, and kept telling me that everything would be ok. He also kept my husband away from me so he didn’t see me prior to the wedding.
The ceremony was great! Tim had us write personal stories about each other and read them aloud during the ceremony, my husband even wrote a vow to my daughter, I think Tim even teared up while my husband read it. Tim included an Irish blessing, per our request. When my 8 year old daughter knocked over the sand ceremony vases and sent them crashing to the cobblestone ground into a million pieces, Tim played it off, remained calm and explained what the sand ceremony was, despite us not even being able to do it. Tim wrote the perfect vows for us, knew exactly what to say, when to say it, and how to say it.
Tim even took care of mailing our marriage license for us, one less thing I had to worry about! I received a lot of compliments from our guests about Rev. Tim, people thought we had known him since we were kids, he seemed like he knew us so well :)

Tim was phenomenal! Tim performed our ceremony yesterday march 9^th and he made our wedding ceremony very special, communication with him was easy and we loved his great sense of humor! My father in law was late, and he was very understanding and patient. We couldn’t have picked anyone better or more prefect then Tim!

Best.officiant.ever! To be honest, we kept putting off dealing with our ceremony details until we couldn’t any longer. We kept trying to think of a family member or friend we could ask to get ordained and marry us. After all of the details that go into planning a wedding, the thought of then helping write our ceremony with a family member or friend (we’d have NO clue where to begin) wasn’t interesting anymore.
I work in the wedding industry and have seen hundreds of ceremonys but I don’t really listen as I’m usually running around getting ready for the next detail. Luckily, one of my clients used Tim last year and I remembered him for his great voice and the amount of laughter that came from guests during the ceremony.
My husband and I had a quick call with Tim and his personality, sense of humor and awesome voice made us immediately decide he’d be perfect! Tim gave us some great advice about writing our own vows (not too) and instead we each wrote stories that Tim shared during the ceremony… he was right, everyone enjoyed listening to these much more and given our nerves, it was so nice to take a deep breath and listen to what my husband wrote. Tim also gave us some great advice about when to use prayers (since neither of us are religious but some of our family is) and provided us sample prayers to select from.
He made planning the ceremony beyond easy and the day of was honestly perfect! His delivery was amazing and we had so many people comment on what an amazing job he did. We’d absolutely recommended Tim and are so thankful we had a videographer because we both can’t wait to listen to the ceremony again!

Tim was our Reverend for our wedding at Leal Vineyards in October of 2014 and he was the perfect fit for our wedding. He drove to Livermore to meet with us for our first meeting, then to Hollister for the wedding. Punctual and had a calming demeanor which helped us relax! He has a very deep, soothing voice that was easy for the crowd to hear. We had a few incidents that occurred during the wedding (ring being dropped and bee in my veil) but with his quick wit and sense of humor it made the crowd laugh and us as well. We didn’t want something super religious, but not completely absent and he did a great job this. We Definitely would recommend him to a friend!

Tim made an amazing day that much better. Everybody commented on how great he was and we couldn’t agree more.

Reverend Tim performed our ceremony on November 7, 2014 and we couldn’t be any happier. He did an amazing job. He edited the ceremony to our preference and did everything we asked him to. We enjoyed his lovely personality, smiley face and great sense of humor. He arrived early and gave us some really good advice before the ceremony. He also took care of mailing in our marriage license for recording.
We received tons of compliments from our guests about the Reverend’s officiating and our ceremony. Thank you Reverend Mills.

We are beyond words Reverend Tim. Thank you for being such a big part of our day! You captured the hearts of our family and friends. You created a ceremony filled with laughter yet depth and tears of joy and love.
Thank you for being so amazing! Thank you for taking the time to get to know both Basim and I, and so beautifully instilling our personalities in our vows. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you.
Cheers,
Marjan

Reverend Tim recently performed our ceremony and it went perfectly! What a perfect day overall for us.
My guests are still commenting at how sweet our ceremony was and how funny our officiant was. Our guests laughed and cried. Everyone wanted to know where we found him.
He has great ideas and tips for how the ceremony should run but it still remains very much all about the bride and the groom.
Thank you! Will definitely tell everyone to give you a call when they get married!

Rev. Tim, as our wedding officiant at Woodside, put both of us at ease and the guests entertained. His delivery of our personal stories was superb despite of our last minute submission, and his coordination with the wedding party was seamless. Our wedding ceremony has been so much more lively, harmonious, and memorable because of Rev. Tim’s masterful balance between sense of solemnity and humor.
You can’t rave about Rev. Tim enough and will definitely recommend to any friends in the marital ceremonial needs.
Thanks, Rev. Tim!

Reverend Tim performed our wedding ceremony this past Saturday. He did a wonderful job! Maintained open communication from the day we made our reservation with him ’til the day of the wedding. He was on time. Kept me calm the morning of and never rushed us. A few of my guests were late and he was so understanding!
My family loved him and even asked how I found out about him. Unilocal!Lol. I’ve been recommending him to all of my engaged couples.
Thank you Reverend Tim for making our wedding memorable!

After our wedding, we were inquired by almost ¹⁄₃ of the guests on where we found such a great officiant. It became a highlight of our event — Tons of compliments from the guests for Tim’s incredible job at our ceremony. Tim — You wouldn’t know this but you are now very popular among our guests. They are super impressed, from head to toe, by your voice and the way you deliver our story. You are not just great — you are amazing. It has been my great fortune to hire you as our officiant, and when I look back, I feel this is one of the best choice I have ever made. Thank you Tim — You made the wedding memorable and special. Thank you, for everything!

Thank you for the beautiful ceremony on Friday. You really made us
feel relaxed and at ease. I want to personally thank you for doing
such a great job helping me refine my story without leaving out any of the
important details. All our guests loved the stories.
You are so great!

Reverend Tim did a beautiful ceremony for my husband and I last December 30, 2012. He was a great presence with his beautiful voice and natural delivery. He was able to deliver a ceremony that was lighthearted and funny, yet still solemn. Even now, nearly a year later, we get feedback from guests who still remember our wedding ceremony, and they always gush about how great an officiant Reverend Tim was.
Reverend Tim was easy to communicate with. We gave him a call, met up with him soon after, sealed the deal, and kept in touch until the big day. The first day we met him, he told us what he was all about, what to expect from him, and what he expected from us. He was so thorough and organized during the months leading to our ceremony. Every time we sent him an e-​mail, we received a prompt response. On the day of our wedding, Reverend Tim gave us exactly what he told us to expect and even more! We are so appreciative and we feel blessed that we were led to Reverend Tim.
I could go on and on about Reverend Tim, but I think the best proof of his work is our wedding video, in which he played a significant role. Reverend Tim’s ceremony set the tone for the whole video. Here is the link:
We hope you choose Reverend Tim so he can continue to make beautiful weddings happen!

Reverend Tim made our ceremony incredibly memorable and special for us and our guests. As many have mentioned in our reviews, Tim had my husband and I write stories about each other, without showing each other what we had written. In addition to the stories, we also agreed with Tim that he would do a basic reading about marriage, basic vows, and close the ceremony with a poem by ee cummings. We also requested a non-​denominational ceremony, and he happily agreed to that.
Tim made it incredibly easy to meet with him very quickly after I inquired about his availability. He’s got a great sense of humor and is very nice to talk to. We worked out the ceremony details mostly through email.
Tim does not attend rehearsals, as many have stated, but had no problem emailing me directions for how we should do our entrances and hand-​offs. It was not a problem at all.
Come wedding day, Tim was on time, nicely dressed, and immediately checked to make sure we had brought our marriage license.
The way that Tim holds a room is absolutely incredible. We got married indoors and knew that Tim’s voice would carry without a microphone, and it was great. Tim had us face each other and hold hands, so that our guests would focus on us, and not on him.
His voice had great inflection and he did a wonderful job telling our stories, the voices, and the poem.
From what I hear (I was too nervous to look at the guests very much!) there was not a dry eye in the room at certain points, but Tim still got the audience to laugh several times. It was the perfect mix of seriousness and humor.
Many people came up to us afterwards and said that it was the BEST wedding ceremony they had ever seen. It was a pleasure to hear my husband’s story that he had written about me. Ours ended up complementing each other very nicely, and many people were actually surprised to learn that we did not write them together.
Tim seriously belongs in the movies, playing the part of a wedding officiant. If you are looking for a professional who knows how to carry a room and perform a memorable ceremony, HIRE THIS GUY!

We were recently married at City Hall in SF. Prior to the ceremony we met with Rev. Tim and also had a call with him to review details of our ceremony. Tim is super organized and was always very prompt about addressing any of our concerns or questions along the way — which was a relief after working with so many wedding vendors that are the opposite. Our ceremony for about 80 people was very memorable and unique, incorporating stories we each wrote about the other. This was the highlight of the ceremony for many of our friends and family. They had never attended a ceremony quite like that before.
We were so thankful we found Tim and would highly recommend his services to other couples preparing to wed.
