Today we’d like to introduce you to Timmy Gibson.
Timmy, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I officiated my very first wedding in 1999, making this my 27th year as a Wedding Officiant. I grew up in the Kansas City area, attending Shawnee Mission West High School. Immediately following graduation from high school I went on to attend Seminary. I earned my degree and spent the next 30 years honing my public speaking skills as a Christian Pastor. Though I am no longer religious, I do believe strongly in the sanctity of marriage. I love being an Officiant (aka Wedding Celebrant) and helping couples create a memorable and magical wedding ceremony, from planning to execution.
I am married to Jessica Gray, a local musician. I have two beautiful children, one grandchild and a cat. I enjoy long walks with my wife, playing competitive tennis, curling up on the couch with a novel, traveling to new places, riding my motorcycle, having deep conversations, puffing on my 100 year old Pipe, sipping on a delicious craft cocktail, chilling with friends, and changing my facial hair regularly. Oh, and I do love Tattoos.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Life is never smooth. But over-all I don’t have any complaints, though I should mention that covid was a very difficult time in the Wedding Industry.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I am a Wedding Officiant. I specialize in customized Wedding Ceremonies for couples in or near Kansas City. What I am known for? Hmmmm … Honestly I am known as the tattooed Wedding Officiant. But also I work as a Relationship Coach, Matchmaker, and Date Coach. I do host singles events (i.e. Speed Dating, Mixer, Mix & Mingles) in and around Kansa City. I am most proud of having build a Wedding Officiant Team of 12 people. No matter what you are looking for we have it, even have a Spanish Speaking Officiant. We just love people, love love and want to provide the most heartfelt customized Wedding Ceremony in Kansas City for couples in love. I think what sets me (and our team) apart is simply or vibe. We respect people’s beliefs, whether religious or not, we want to help provide a professional service in helping people tie the knot.
We’d love to hear about how you think about risk taking?
I’m not sure you can live a full life without taking risks. If you want to do something great, you must take risks. I am risk-averse honestly, but I do take calculated risks. I really try and weigh my options before pulling the trigger. This is subjective too. What is a risk to one person isn’t a risk at all to another.
