A WORD FROM SOME OF OUR CLIENTS
Alexandra C
Timmy was perfect for our wedding. He was very friendly, very articulate and easy to talk to. My husband and I confided in him with some family issues that have been going on and he was more than willing to talk to us and give us advice. He was a huge hit with our family, he did a great job during our ceremony and everyone in our audience really enjoyed listening to him speak. My husband and I aren't religious but he was very understanding and treated us with the utmost respect. He is a great choice for any couple that hasn't yet found a church or if you just wanted a great speaker!
Sam K
Timmy was absolutely wonderful to work with! His passion for life and love is apparent in everything he does. We had a few pre-marital counseling sessions with him which were perfect for our needs. He was prompt in responses, great with scheduling, and most importantly made our day amazing. I can't recommend him enough!
Lauren S
Timmy was exactly who we were hoping would marry us. He is such a calm cool guy. He made everyone feel relaxed and at ease and we were very happy to have him there to guide us through the process.
Matt J
Timmy was the best. He really helped us hone in on what made us click as a couple, and how to deal with conflicts in a way that's positive and makes our bonds stronger. We definitely hit the jackpot with each other, and then hit it again when we worked with Timmy prior to tying the knot!
Lisa N
Timmy went above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. He was very attentive and listened to our needs. He allowed us to customize our ceremony and include our children which was very special for all of us. Our guest loved him and his very contagious positive energy. We chose Timmy not only because he is a close friend but because he really cared about us a couple and genuinely wanted us to be happy, healthy and married! Not to mention he continued to guide us in the direction to be a stronger couple and prayed with us which was very special to us. Timmy was perfect and we couldn't have picked a better person to perform our ceremony. We are forever grateful for all that he has done for us and continues to do for us.
The Officiant Team
Timmy
Timmy officiated his very first wedding in Houston, Texas in 1999, making this his 25th year as a Wedding Officiant. He grew up in the Kansas City area, graduated from Shawnee Mission West High School in 1987, he then went on to earn a theological degree in 1994 and spent 30 years as a Christian Pastor. Though he is no longer religious, Timmy does believe strongly in the sanctity of marriage. He loves being an officiant and helping couples create a memorable and magical wedding ceremony, from planning to execution. Always calm and comforting, he embodies the vibe you want on your wedding day.
Timmy is married and has two beautiful children, one grandchild and two furry kids—Elle the adorable Pomeranian, and Nova the curious cat. He enjoys long walks with his wife, playing tennis, curling up on the couch with a novel, traveling to new places, riding his motorcycle, having deep conversations, puffing on his 100 year old Pipe, sipping on a delicious craft cocktail, chilling with friends, and changing his facial hair regularly. Timmy is often asked how many tattoos he has; the answer is over 100.
Jessica
Jessica is a Kansas City native with a love for life and a zest for enjoying beautiful moments. She loves nature and hiking, traveling with her husband, connecting with people, and has quite a green thumb! She is a certified Reiki Master, an intuitive tarot reader, and specializes in many forms of sound healing. By day, she manages a metaphysical shop, and by night she is a local KC musician. Jessica believes in the power of LOVE and the joy of creating a life filled with intention and mindful alignment with your heart. Jessica would be a good fit for a spiritually led wedding with a scent of sage and a touch of magic.
Phil
Phil grew up in Hutchinson, Kansas and is a hero at heart. He is a Navy Veteran serving our country during and after 9/11. Following his time in the Navy his family endured the tragic loss of their home to a fire. This loss pushed him to pursue his dream of becoming a firefighter. He now resides in Kansas City, Kansas and is a full time Paramedic Firefighter. His passion for Christ and marriage continues to drive him to pursuing ways he can serve couples on their wedding day. He enjoys anything outdoors including spending time with his wife and three children.
Mollie
Mollie grew up in Pleasant Hill, Missouri and attended University of Central Missouri getting her Degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. She has many interests which include Cycling, Mountain Biking, Kayaking, Hiking, learning Piano, and Horseback Riding. Mollie is a real modern day Beekeeper, and even raises Chickens, so if you need some Honey or Eggs, she’s got you. Her heart belongs to her 8 year old son, and the family Dog Georgia. Interesting facts: She’s an expert advice giver, inappropriate joke teller, conversationalist, lifelong learner, amateur public speaker, and beginner cellist. Mollie loves books, food, travel, naps, music, and laughing.
Joseph
Joseph is a native of the Kansas City with a BPA degree from Park University and he also served as a US Marine during 9/11. He was raised and spoon-fed evangelical Christianity and was a fervent student of apologetics and eschatology most of his childhood and into adulthood. This passion served him to be a life-long student and to seek answers to life’s most basic questions as he also lived with a very tumultuous and dysfunctional family history filled with multiple divorces, drugs, alcoholism, and abuse. However, this time growing up also helped to define him and help him see the beauty in the world in other relationships beyond fundamentalism and legalism. Joseph is an experienced officiant and has helped multiple partners unify their commitment together. He is a karaoke jockey in his spare time and Father to four boys.
Angela
Angela Randazzo hails from The Big Apple and was called to KC in 2017. A vocalist, certified sommelier, and meditation coach, she has lived many lives and is enriched by each experience. In her free time she enjoys walking the Old Kate Trail and hanging out with her rescue cats. She has built a career in jazz performance, oration, and music ministry and found the Midwest to be a true heartland of safe space to embrace her life as a queer woman. Angela enjoys guiding others to soak in the present moment and brings that presence to everything she does. Working from a love ethic, she relishes in the opportunity to hold sacred space for couples as they begin their lives together.
Denny
Denny is a multifaceted individual whose journey has been marked by a profound love for performance, music, and empowering others. From his early days, he found himself drawn to the spotlight, starring in school and church productions and honing his skills in music, particularly as a drummer. He continues to pursue his passion for empowering others and creating unforgettable experiences. After years of ministry, Denny found himself looking to love people regardless of where they are in life. This is why officiating weddings has been a huge calling in his heart. Seeing two individuals come together to make one whole team filled with love and compassion is not work but a blessing.
He believes his journey exemplifies the transformative power of passion, purpose, and perseverance. His commitment to doing what he loves hopes to serve and inspiring others, reminding us that when we align our work with our passions, every day feels like a celebration of life's extraordinary moments.
Bill
Bill is a native of St. Louis and moved to our fare city in 2021 to serve as full time inter-faith hospice chaplain. As a former Theravada Buddhist monk, he traveled and practiced extensively across south East Asia as an educator and monastic chaplain serving impoverished village communities. Raised a devout Catholic, he still retains the beauty of the tradition but with a much softer mind. Bill holds a BA from Webster U. in Jazz Performance and Media Communications, and an MA in Religious Philosophy. Bill is also a published author and mediocre scholar. When he isn’t writing mediocre research he enjoys playing the drums and practicing the cello. Bill was originally ordained in Thailand in 2003 and the Forest Tradition in 2012. He received his lay ordination in the Soto Zen tradition in 2019. For him, a birth can be mindful. A death can be mindful. Everything in between is the dharma. Celebrating a mindful union with a foundation of love and trust is the perfect place for this to bloom.
Caleb
Caleb was born and raised in Blue Springs until he moved at age 14 to the Los Angeles area for seven years to pursue music. In 2009, he moved back to the KC area and now lives in Brookside with his wife of three years. Together they love their two cats Obsidian and Cooper and enjoy comedy clubs, local eateries, and live music events. On weekends if you are lucky, you can find him singing in the wedding band KC FLO (Patrick Lentz Ent.). On Sundays, Caleb attends a local church in the KC area and leads a bible study on Tuesday evenings out of his home where anyone who is looking for community or a place to connect will be welcomed with love and grace. His love for people, laughter, and weddings will be the perfect blend for your big day.
Howard
Howard was born and raised right here in the heart of Kansas City, the city that he loves! For many years he worked in the hotel industry which allowed him to live in many cities across the country from the west coast to the east coast. After working in hotels, Howard switched gears and fell into healthcare. He received his administrator’s license and became an executive director for senior living communities. He still oversees a small memory care community in Overland Park, KS to this day. He and his wife, Laura own a small, intimate wedding venue called 75th Street Events located in the Waldo area of Kansas City, where they do small weddings and all kinds of special events and gatherings for families.
Howard loves working with people and making their day special, which is what led him to become an Ordained Minister. Special moments are a blessing and he enjoys being a part of that day for couples and their guests. He also likes to play the ukulele, and will gladly play any special gigs, LOL! Howard finds the best in all of life’s experiences.

In the consultation they will discuss additional details of your wedding day as well as address any questions you may have. These details include whether you and your fiancé are doing Unity Candle, Unity Sand, Songs, Poems, Special Scripture Readings, Special Prayers, Communion, or even an Irish Folk Dance Routine :) etc. Our philosophy is, “it's your wedding, so let's make it exactly like you want it!”
