    Hire Todd!

    Todd did an amazing job with our pre-marital counseling and officiating our wedding. We are Christian and wanted to make God the center of our ceremony without making our guests of various backgrounds uncomfortable or unwelcome and Todd did an amazing job with that. We received so many compliments from our guests regarding his words at the ceremony. Hire Todd! You won't regret it!!

    Incredible experience! 1000/10

    Todd, Thank you for the most amazing ceremony. My husband and I felt so comfortable and at ease up there while making this commitment with Todd leading the way. Thanks for the pre-marital sessions and everything Todd did to make this journey so memorable and enjoyable for us! Everyone we spoke to kept raving about how incredible Todd was and we wanted to ensure we passed along their incredible feedback and let everyone know how incredibly great it was for us. Thank you so much.

    Todd is AMAZING!!

    Rev. Todd Rodarmel made our ceremony truly special by taking the time to get to know us through pre-marital counseling before our wedding day. His genuine and humorous approach kept our guests engaged and laughing throughout the service, while still maintaining the sincere tone we wanted for our vows. After the wedding, we heard from so many guests that they loved him and thought he was the best officiant they'd ever heard. Todd brought a real warmth to the moment that made our ceremony feel personal and meaningful rather than just going through the motions. We can't recommend him highly enough to any couple looking for an officiant who truly cares about making your day unforgettable! He is truly a gem!!

    Rev. Todd Rodarmel is fantastic! Our guests loved him! We lost count of how many commented on how great he was! Perfect blend of authenticity and humor - he delivered a spot-on message on the important aspects of love & marriage, while keeping it light & engaging. Could not have chosen better for our destination wedding!

    Officiant

    We truly could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding. Todd made the entire process feel easy and stress free. The ceremony was beautiful, personal, and exactly what we hoped for. One of the things we appreciated most was his steady presence. It was so reassuring to know that if anything were to go wrong, he already had it handled. He made us feel completely taken care of, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. We are so grateful for him and would recommend him without hesitation to any couple.

I love doing premarital counseling with the couples I marry but I don't require it. I also offer it even for couples getting married by another officiant. See my packages for a description of the SYMBIS assessment and three session counseling package I offer.
Of course! It is your ceremony. Small personalizations work with any package, but if you want to design something totally unique, it costs a little more. Choose the custom wedding design package.
Rehearsals are included in the custom wedding package but can be added to other packages for $200. But if you have a wedding coordinator and you don't have me doing anything out of the ordinary, you probably don't need me there.
Of course! Though I am qualified and happy to do marriage paperwork, I do this because I love helping people exchange vows before God and witnesses. It's the most important part in my mind!
Yes, I am willing to travel, but charge extra to cover travel time and expenses.
I was a pastor in California for many years, but when I moved to Tennessee I didn't want all the responsibility of a church to look after so I have focused my work on helping couples get and stay happily married. I officiate weddings and offer premarital counseling and marriage coaching and retreats.
You need to get the marriage license from any county clerk in Tennessee within thirty days before your wedding. Then you give it to me at your wedding and I take care of the rest.
Though I am a Christian pastor I do not discriminate against anyone or their beliefs. Your wedding should reflect you and I will help make it so. I have the privilege of officiating and speaking to the truth of what I have learned about marriage not only from my religious beliefs but from my vast experience helping other couples get and stay married, Even more so, I have 37 years of experience loving my wife and growing together as a couple that I draw on in the work I do.
