What can I say about Rev. Tom I have known him for over 10 years. Rev. Tom knew it had been difficult for me to open up to the possibility of love again. I asked if he would officiate over my wedding. He stated yes he would be honored. Rev. Tom talked with me and was a great friend. He presided over my marriage ceremony. He is a wonderful friend and the Best minister I have known. I would recommend him to my family and friends. Please call and talk with him. You will be so happy you did.

Vendor response to review

It was my pleasure to share and officiate for your special day. I wish you the best. Please feel free to stay in touch and let me know how things are going. Rev. Tom

Rev. Tom provided my wife and I pre-marital counseling as well as pre-marital relationship assessment. It was wonder learning experience. It helped us with our relationship, to better understand our strengthens and weekness. Those area we have to learn to practice more productive ways of relating to each other. As well Rev. Tom Married us at a Church in Clearwater, Florida. He talked with us and helped us to customize our ceremony. Both of us are very Thankful to Rev. Tom for the time he gave and the preparing of Our Wedding Ceremony. We had Family and Friends and to celebrate our start in married life joined and ordained by a Minister of and in the Church.

We were married by Rev.Tom He took his time and counseled us and provided testing to assist us with are strengths and weakness. We found Pre Marital Counseling insightful. He married us in our living room with family and friends. He was very kind and great at ministerial profession. He has 18 years of being a minister and a Pastor as well. His fees are very reasonable, since he has never been a paid clergy, Only volunteerd his services for the past 18 years to his Lord and the Church. Our ceremony was customized to say the words that we felt in our hearts. We both hightly recommend Rev. Mowrey. Dana & Jose M. Married in Tampa,FL.

Vendor response to review

Dana & Jose, I sincerely appreciate the review for the services, (premartial counseling and officiating for your wedding). I hope that your years together will be Blessed. rev. Tom

The wedding was suppost to be on Jan. 11 th 2004 around 6pm. But because of unexpected issuses I had to call Rev. Mowrey and ask if he would be able to wait a few hours till everything was perfect and all of the isuess resolved. He was very understanding and did not charge us extra. Me and my husband ended up getting married almost at 11pm at night, and it was a very special service that I will always remember. I want to thank Rev. Thomas Mowrey and also I would recomend his services to any one. He was very professional and polite and also he is laid back and flexable to your needs. ------- k.m.mejia

We had a perfect wedding. Rev. Tom was just the best. He took his time and also calmed our nerves. My wife and I felt we had known Rev. Tom all our lives. We also requested pre material counseling and he told us about ourselves. He had no way of having know us, we had had email back and forth. but we just meet for the results to our testing, evaluation. It amazed the both of us. Very insightful. We requested quotes from other officiates and Rev. Tom was 30% to 50% more reasonable than other officiates in his area. We highly recommend him and the services he provides to other couples. Evan & Crystal C.

Rev. Tom is a truly a great person as well as his talents at being a fantastic minister. He provided us with pre material counseling. We filled out two separate questionnaires and sent them to Rev. Tom. One appointment he told us about ourselves, It was like he knew us for years. The insight was amazing. One appointment, well worth the visit. We learned so very much. He also officiated over our ceremony, we will remember it for years and years to come. MB + CB *****(5 stars)

The Pictures of the young couple I just added was a blessing to me. I so enjoyed their love for each other as well as the New Son the Groom was going to be a Father to. Both parents walked their Son to be married with their hope and dreams and prayers go with him and his bride. The bride was walked down the beach by her Father, brides Mother was waiting to join them. Both families realize there lives were enriched and blessed this day as there family was growing. I also felt the joy and happiness that everyone expressed love for the couple. God really blessed us with a break in the rain and the dolpins, playing and jumping out of the water. It was breath taking when everything and everyone came together for this couple. Rev. Tom
