Professional Services Built on Trust, Care, and Real-Life Experience
What began as wedding officiant services has grown into a range of professional offerings — all guided by the same calm presence, integrity, and commitment to doing things the right way.
Serving and Trusted by individuals, couples , families, and organizations across Connecticut
“Creating meaningful moments with calm, attentive support and intentional presence when it matters most.”
“We serve moments across life — not just celebrations.”
We offer community-centered ministerial services for life’s meaningful moments — including memorials, blessings, and spiritual care — provided with calm presence and genuine heart.
Some of our ministerial services are offered on a community sliding scale ($175–$375) with 10% donated to local nonprofits — because care should extend beyond the moment.
Who we serve
Individuals & Families
Weddings, photography, mobile notary services, and safety training for families, caregivers, and individuals — handled with calm guidance and care.
Organizations & Community Spaces
AED readiness inspections, CPR / First Aid / AED training, and notary services when needed for business or organizational documents.
One Standard of Care — No Matter the Service
At Lasting Memories by Tom LLC, we believe that the moments and responsibilities people trust you with deserve professionalism, preparation, and genuine care.
Whether we are standing beside a couple on their wedding day, capturing meaningful moments through photography, providing mobile notary services, or helping organizations prepare for emergencies, our approach remains the same — calm, dependable, and detail-focused.
ORIGIN & GROWTH
Our work began with wedding officiant services — supporting couples during one of the most meaningful moments of their lives.
Over time, that same trust led people to ask for support in other important areas. Photography. Mobile notary services. Health and safety training. AED readiness.
Each service was added intentionally, in response to real needs, and held to the same standard of professionalism and care that built our reputation from the start.
A calm, steady presence when it matters most.
Some moments happen between the moments — our behind-the-scenes coverage quietly preserves them.
Our work extends across life’s celebrations, transitions, and moments of loss — always guided by calm, attentive presence.

We were married by Tom early December 2024. I gotta say working with Tom was great! Not only did he help us find a place to have the ceremony, he also helps us write our vows. We had a non religious ceremony and he was very respectful of our religions and culture. Thank you so much, Tom for making our special day so easy and great!
