    Great Officiant for Our Wedding

    Tod did a fantastic job at our wedding. I was overly involved in all details of my big day but Tod made me feel confident that he would do a great job and he did just that!! Contact Tod - you will not be disappointed.

    Rev Tod was perfect!

    Working with Rev Tod was so easy and fun. We wanted a non-religious ceremony and he was happy to provide just what we wanted without judgement. The ceremony was personal and tailored to us and our relationship with every line. He helped us every step of the way picking out what to say and even suggested a unity ceremony for us to do that we'd never heard of - it was unique and special and our guests remarked how original it was! We wrote our own vows and Rev Tod read them for us before the wedding and made sure they matched in length and tone which was very helpful! I would highly recommend Rev Tod especially to those wanting a non-religious ceremony that's all about the couple and their story!

    Absolutely delightful! As a wedding planner who has been a part of hundreds and hundreds of weddings, I recommend Rev. Coles highly! Very professional yet warm and inviting. Guests, venue and vendors all loved him... and you will too!

    We were blessed to find the wonderful Rev. Tod Coles for our 25th wedding anniversary vow renewal celebration. I could not have asked for a more perfect ceremony. Working with Rev. Tod was incredibly simple - with just a few conversations he was able to gather the information he needed to lead a beautiful, personal and intimate ceremony. It was like he knew us for years! Rev. Tod has a very joyful, casual yet professional demeanor about him and it made our simple ceremony so very special. Can't wait to call on Rev. Tod when we renew our vows in another 25 years!

    Tod was amazing, when we first met I was instantly at ease and he helped any questions we had about having an officiant! He gave us plenty of options for vows and was always there if we had a question!

    Rev Tod of Big Love Weddings is a great guy! He met with me for a free consultation long before the wedding to answer all of my questions and put me at ease with the stress. The wedding was beautiful. I would definitely recommend him for your ceremony.

    Rev. Coles did an amazing job officiating our wedding at Duke Mansion! He was more than willing to meet with us a couple times to walk through the ceremony and talk through our vow options. We asked him to keep our ceremony light and relaxed ceremony while still honoring the commitment we were making to each other and he did that perfectly!

    Rev. Tod Coles with Big Love Weddings was everything we were looking for our wedding ceremony. He made the process very easy and took a lot of the stress out of such a big decision. We knew we wanted to book Tod the night we met him. He has such a friendly, courteous and sincere personality; we liked him immediately! Not only did he take the time to meet with us and get a feel for our personalities what we were looking for in an Officiant, he provided ideas and guidance in making the ceremony exactly what we wanted- and in the end it was perfect!!

    Jason Cobbs officiated our wedding and he was wonderful. We had several conversations leading up to the ceremony and he listened to everything we wanted. He showed up on time, was super pleasant with my family (everyone commented on how nice he was) and he gave us a beautiful ceremony. He delivered everything we asked for, and did it with such genuine love. Jason really enjoys officiating and it's so obvious when he's standing in front of you at the alter. I loved having him in our photos because his smile is so genuine. He truly was a joy to work with.

    My wife and I are extremely pleased with Tod Coles at Big Love Weddings. We are both from out the Charlotte area and did not have anyone we knew to marry us. We were referred to Big Love weddings from one of our close friends in the area and are so happy that we chose Tod. He is a very likable guy and was extremely attentive to what we were looking for in our ceremony. He answered all of our questions and gave us some great ideas as well. He even took our marriage certificate after the ceremony and mailed it in for us so that we did not have to keep track of it during the reception. I would highly recommend Tod to anyone looking for a wedding officiant.

    My husband and I got married on a Friday morning in a very small and intimate ceremony. Rev. Tod was a wonderful officiant and he created a very special and moving ceremony for us. We especially appreciated his willingness in respecting our wishes for a non-traditional and secular ceremony. Any couple would appreciate his humor, grace and attention to detail for their wedding; he’s also very easy to work with. I highly recommend his services to anyone who wishes to get married in the Charlotte area.

    Rev Tod Coles made our ceremony a truly memorable one! He got to know us so well that he was able to personalize his comments to us and our guests. He added humor to our ceremony which is definitely our style. Many of our guests made comments after the ceremony on how much they enjoyed Rev Coles. We would highly recommend him to perform your wedding ceremony!

    For a couple that wanted a professional traditional wedding without having an everyday church to perform to reach out to for a pastor, Rev. Todd was on point. From the first meeting to the day of he was knowledgeable and his experience really helped in our desicions. I would recommend him over and over for his prompt and professional service. It goes beyond just the professional part though, he has a wonderful smile and personality that makes you feel like you have known him for much longer and he fits right in with the people and the pictures so you have no "odd" shots of a stranger.

    Tod was perfect in a less than perfect situation. He made us comfortable and our experience could not have been better. I would recommend him to anyone that is looking for a minister for any event.

    Tod Coles was highly recommended by my wedding planner to use as my officiant. From our first meeting with Tod, my husband and I felt a genuine warmth, comfort, and understanding that set us as ease in a process that could have lent to being a stressful one. Tod immediately understood the tone we wanted to set for our wedding ceremony and collaborated with us in designing our wedding ceremony that truly felt like "us". Tod guided us through our wedding ceremony, building a comfort that eased any nerves. His readings were pertinent to us in describing what marriage is and will be for us. We received many compliments after the ceremony from family and guests that said it was one of the best ceremonies they had seen. I would highly recommend Tod Coles as an officiant to any couple.
