Thomas A. Welch

Tom officiated our Labor Day Weekend wedding and was amazing to work with. He has a wonderfully calming and nurturing way about him that put any worries I had at ease immediately. He was responsive to all of my questions and was available to conduct my rehearsal as well. I was so happy to have him there to marry us on my wedding day, and everything turned out perfectly. I also thought he was very fairly priced. I would definitely recommend Tom to any couple in the area looking for a wonderful JP to officiate their ceremony!

Tom was awesome! He made our little wedding so personal and included our family & friends in the ceremony. He's great and obviously passionate, I highly recommend him.

Tom was an absolute delight to have as our officiant. We met with him at his home, several months prior to the wedding, and we knew right away we hadn't any need to look elsewhere. He truly loves what he does, I was amazed as I sat in front of him he was able to present a whole ceremony off the top of his head! I am a super procrastinator and I emailed him our vows and reading 14 hours prior to the ceremony, and he was more than accommodating to me. Day of the ceremony, he arrived early and made sure everything was in order. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful. I was so nervous that I would mess up the vows and he assured me that he would go slow and everything would be perfect. He was right, I could not have imagined a better ceremony. I highly suggest any couple looking for an officiant to look no further.

Mr. Welch is a kind, soft spoken wonderful man. We were so happy with him. From the first meeting we knew we had chose someone wonderful. We wanted to do a rock ceremony which was new to him but he made it like it was something he always did. I highly recommend him. Very reasonable in his prices too.He

Mr. Welch was wonderful. so very personable and friendly. He did a wonderful ceremony for us!

Tom was wonderful to work with. He was very welcoming and invited us to his home to discuss our ceremony. He was very helpful and gave us wonderful suggestions. Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful and Tom was very calming. Our friends and family remarked what a wonderful ceremony it was and told us how great Tom was. I would highly recommend Tom to anyone. He is very passionate about what he does.

Thomas Welch was the perfect officiant. After meeting with us he fully understood what we were looking for. He was very calming and the ceremony ran very smooth. We received lots of compliments from our guests about him.

I couldnt find one bad review so I met with him and booked him. He knew we had a 2 year old and wanted him involves as much possible. He was kind of hesitant about us wantig our son there He suggested a babysitter. But I overlooked it thinking he would understand. the day of the wedding our son was up with the groom and Tom would make some rude comments about how he shouldnt be involved because its only the 2 of us getting married not our son.During the ceromony he continued making rude comments about our son because he wanted us to hold him and we were fine with it. To us it was all about the family not just the 2 of us. He made one comment mid ceromony about puting him down now and all the guests were jaw dropped because of his comment. I was appauled and didnt listen to a word he was saying while he was marrying us. I was soo happy when it was over so he would leave. He may be great when it is just bride and groom but if a child is involved I would definatley look elsewhere.

Tom is so great. We enjoyed talking to him while planning the ceremony. He was incredibly helpful and flexible and you always get a feeling that he is really listening to you and cares about what he does. He is wise and relaxed and had a way of calming my nerves.

Tom was great. He gave us a bunch of readings to help us out and we were able to find our own. He spoke clearly and everyone could hear him even though we were outside. He was a good sport despite the cold weather!

Tom Welch turned out to be a fantastic choice of officiant for us. We specifically wanted a fairly traditional ceremony because part of getting married, for us, was taking our place in the traditions of our families. Tom suggested a few lovely additions and changes to honor and involve our families and communities, but more importantly, he has a knack for creating an intimate and personal feel to a ceremony even when working within a fairly traditional and standard structure, and several of our family members and guests commented on how wonderful he was. (He was also very good at reassuring a slightly overanxious bride a few days before the wedding!)

We loved Tom, he was very professional and well spoken, we were very comfortable with him and happy that he was part of our day.

When DH and I first met with Tom, we both really liked his warm and caring demeanor. Plus he had done many weddings at our venue before. Tom was very easy to get in touch with via email and was always quick to respond to any questions I had. We didn’t have him attend our rehearsal and the ceremony went just fine. It was short and sweet, and fit us perfectly!

Picking Tom as our JP was a great choice. His voice, look and creativity was exactly what we needed for such a important part of our ceremony.

As soon as we met with Tom Welch, we knew that he was the right person to officiate our wedding. Our families liked the fact that he had been a priest with ties to the church. We liked the fact that he would personalize the ceremony in whatever way we wanted. He was very quick to respond to emails with questions throughout the planning process.

Tom Welch did an amazing job at our wedding. He knew exactly what he was doing, and kept my husband and I on track. He would even tell us to remember to smile as we walk back down the aisle for our pictures! He went above and beyond to make our day special. The ceremony was a very emotional one for us, and it wouldn't have been the same without Tom there. I highly recommend his services!

Tom is exactly what we were looking for in an officiant - we're both Catholic, but don't go to church much, so we wanted someone who could bring us a Catholic touch in a secular ceremony. He's actually a former priest, so that took care of that, and an amazingly friendly guy.

Tom was absolutely wonderful. He met with us before the wedding to get a sense of what we were all about, and helped us select our vows. I felt he genuinely cared about our wedding ceremony, and all of our guests raved about how great he was. Tom is also very professional and punctual, I would not hesitate to recommend him!

I was really impressed by how professional and courteous Tom was. Everything said about him is true. He's simply amazing at what he does.

Tom Welch, JOP. A+ -- Alright, has Tom EVER gotten a review less than the best? He’s amazing. He’s wonderful to work with from beginning to end, and delivers a ceremony which is inspiring, calming, thoughtful, and so very moving. People couldn’t stop raving about what a special ceremony it was, and how impressive he truly was. We were honored to have the privilege of Tom as our officiant.

Tom made us feel such at ease. It was a beautiful ceremony that made everyone feel included. He is a sweetheart and made both of our parents comfortable about the fact the ceremony not being performed in a church.

We can only echo the praise of others. Tom was just wonderful. We found him online and had a great feeling about him, just from his website. As soon as we met him in person, we were that much more smitten, and booked him immediately. His warmth, personality, and ability to really pay attention to the couple is extraordinary. Highly recommend him!

Great! We had a problem with out original officiant and booked Tom 2 months prior to our wedding - best decision ever. He charged less and was way nicer! He used whatever material we wanted him to and we felt very comfortable with him :)
