Tom was very helpful throughout the process. He offers extensive amounts of information on his website (www.tgarmstrong.com) and via email. He was quick to respond to inquiries and had the answers to all our questions. He is definitely very experienced in the industry. He was also very thorough when helping us plan the wedding to ensure that he directed the ceremony exactly as we wished. Further, he provided helpful recommendations and minor adjustments to our ceremony draft that we appreciated.
At an additional cost, we requested that he be present at our rehearsal. He arrived in a timely manner and utilized his strong presence to guide us through the rehearsal in an effective and efficient manner. It was great to meet him in person prior to the ceremony, and he also provided much guidance/suggestions about where to go, how to line up, etc., during the ceremony.
He also followed up with the marriage certificate in a very timely manner. He submitted the certificate to the county for authorization the Monday following our Saturday ceremony and sent a copy to us promptly for our records. This also included several informational memos to guide us through the follow up process (name changes, etc.) He was very helpful, very nice, and I would definitely recommend his services to anyone looking to be married . . .
Jennifer and Matthew

He was wonderful to work with – even long-distance over email. We were able to write our own ceremony and have things just as we wanted. It was great to write our own ceremony (using bits and pieces of others from his site and from our friends’ weddings). He was friendly, very professional, and humorous. We were very glad to have chosen Tom to officiate.
Chad and Amanda
Thanks so much for performing our ceremony this past weekend. Everyone thought you did a great job and that we made an excellent choice. We’ll be sure to pass on the good word to anyone else we might know who needs an officiant.
Christina and Tom
We just wanted to thank you for a wonderful job you did on our wedding day. We know that you had a busy day that day but I really appreciate you being able to make it out and officiate our wedding. Everything went perfectly in the end! Thank you also for all your help and suggestions in the beginning as well as your website, it really made it easier to come up with a ceremony. It was a pleasure working with you, and we will definitely recommend you to anyone in search of an officiant for their wedding. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for performing our wedding ceremony. You did a fantastic job. Also, I’ve used your website a lot regarding name change information. It has been extremely helpful. Thanks again.
Matt & Melissa
Just wanted to let you know that you did an amazing job! The day flew by so fast and I didn’t even get to speak to you at the wedding. (Note: the Bride arrived in a bus and was secluded until the very start of the ceremony.) Everything was perfect and your expertise made the ceremony so smooth. I didn’t want to seem ungrateful so I wanted to thank you as soon as we got home to NJ. We couldn’t have imagined it any better than the ceremony was! Thank you again so much.
Miranda and Richard
They lost their Marriage License and Certificates
We were unable to find our marriage certificate paperwork but WERE able to have copies printed out from the Government Center. They were sent signed via priority mail to you yesterday, guaranteed to arrive today. I hope it’s all in order now. I’m so sorry for not having it Friday night. Thank you for not making us cancel our wedding!!! 
Everyone loved the ceremony, by the way, and thought you were very nice. Thanks again,
Valerie and Aaron
Tom Armstrong’s Response
I have done at least 25 to 40 weddings in your situation. I would never stop the celebration for mere paperwork – we can always do it afterwards through the mail. Having said that, I once heard a story from a limousine driver about another officiant at the Como Conservatory. The couple had a 90 minute rental time and discovered that the papers were forgotten 45 minutes away – a 90 minute round trip. He refused to marry them until they had the marriage license papers in hand. The Como staff kept the Conservatory open later – beyond the rental time – so that the papers could be retrieved. Como has good people working there. Everyone waited because of the complete inflexibility of this judge. Life isn’t perfect and we can’t let a simple mistake hold us back from doing the right thing. Best wishes,
Tom Armstrong
Thank you so much for officiating our wedding. Your professionalism and help coordinating exactly what we wanted made for ease in planning and a perfect ceremony.

The wedding was absolutely wonderful on Friday night. Thank you a million times over to helping us with this. The evening was a total success and everyone stayed well after the music ended. It was the best and you made it much more special with some humor during the ceremony – totally cool! (NOTE – the Groom had nervous difficulty with the repeat-after-me and needed help.)
Christina was just beaming all evening! Thank you again for all you did for us.
Becki, Mother of the Bride
I wanted to thank you so much for the wedding ceremony you did for my daughter Molly. We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful day and you did such a great job. Just what she wanted. Thanks again.

Tom was great. He let us put together our own ceremony and worked great with our translator. He told us exactly what we needed and he didn’t overcharge. It was important for us to work with a non-religious officiant because we are an interfaith couple, and we found that in many cases, other officiants were relatively overpriced in comparison with other wedding officiants. Tom was affordable and made us very comfortable.
Thank you so much for officiating our ceremony. We’ve received so many wonderful comments on the whole thing. We will definitely refer you to friends in the Twin Cities! Thank you again.
Sonja & Kurtis
Thank you for officiating at our wedding. Your assistance in planning and creating a ceremony to our history and personality made the event even more special and meaningful. Thank you again for bringing about our perfect day.
Thank you so much for making our day so great! You did a fabulous job. Professional & dignified yet warm & open at the same time! The ceremony turned out exactly how we wanted & we got several compliments on it! Thanks again & take care.

Thank you for officiating at our ceremony. I received many complements on it. All of your tools – online – were very helpful. We wouldn’t have known where to begin without them. Thanks for providing quick feedback about the ceremony and providing me the information I needed to change my name. Thanks again.
Jodi & Kelly
Thank you for officiating our wedding ceremony. You did a wonderful job in conducting the ceremony, but you also made us feel comfortable. We’re very pleased that we chose you for our special day. Your website made it easy for us to construct a ceremony that we liked. Without all the helpful references and examples, I think it would have been much more difficult to translate out feelings into a logical ceremony. I’m sure you don’t need it, but if there is ever a need for another positive reference just let us know. Your experience in doing this was quite evident. Thanks again for a job more than well done.
Eric & Jennifer
Thank you for all your help. From planning to execution, you provided a wonderful experience that we will always remember!
Keith & Amy
Thank you for a wonderful ceremony. I had many compliments on my choice for an officiant. Thank you for all the preliminary work you did on our ceremony – you made the entire process enjoyable & painless. It made our wedding so personal & special. You did a wonderful job as our officiant & we received many complements on the ceremony. And, thank you for being so prompt on sending out our marriage certificate. It has made the name changing process much easier. Thanks again – you were a pleasure to work with!!
Meghan & Aaron

Thank you for performing such a nice ceremony for us and for helping us with the waiting period waiver and license! It was a perfect wedding.
Julie & Zak
Chad and I want to thank you again for officiating at our wedding. Even through we never met you until the wedding day, we were confident that your approach and sense of humor (as evident from your website) would be great for us, and we were right. We really enjoyed creating our own ceremony to fit our personalities and feelings, and your website provided many easy-to-adapt ceremony ideas. We ended up with a ceremony that was very natural, heart-felt, and memorable (maybe we’re biased there!) and your calm and professional demeanor enhanced the ceremony. In fact, several people made a point to tell either us, or our parents, that it was the nicest ceremony they had ever been to. Thank you. We really appreciated how easy-going yet professional you were – from the months leading up to the ceremony through the “day of” and into the following days as the marriage license was processed.
We will definitely pass your name onto anyone we know in the Cities that is looking for an officiant! Thank you again for your helpfulness and support.
Amanda & Chad
Thank you for making our wedding so wonderful. We couldn’t have been more happier with the whole evening. You made our part easy!
Dana & Jenny
Geoff and I would like to say “thank you” for marrying us and being our officiant. You couldn’t be anymore professional than you were that day performing our ceremony. You had a nice, low, deep, but yet soothing voice. You were great !!!!! Thanks a bunch. We will definitely refer you to people.
Amber & Geoff
You did such a wonderful job with our ceremony. I would tell anyone about you. You’re a kind man.

Tom Armstrong is a judge who is retiring from the bench after the end of 2010, and his main business will be weddings. He officiated our 9/24/10 wedding and I can’t rave enough about our experience. We didn’t actually meet him face to face until the actual wedding day, about 30 minutes before our ceremony, but we communicated with him via email and he was able to take the ceremony we put together and perform it as if he’d rehearsed it with us a million times. He made us feel so at ease that the actual ceremony portion of the wedding was probably the one part that we never worried about! He’s a true professional and he will help to make your ceremony everything you ever imagined it could be!
Katie and Nick
I really liked how the ceremony was personalized and felt that everything went very well.
