A Flawless Ceremony and an AMAZING Officiant!

We were incredibly fortunate to have Pastor Matt as our wedding officiant, and we cannot express enough how much we adore him. It's safe to say that our special day would not have been the same without him. From the initial planning stages to the wedding day itself, Pastor Matt exceeded all our expectations. Both our families were impressed by his warm and genuine demeanor, and they couldn't stop singing his praises. In fact, many of our guests commented on how great he was, praising his sincerity and the way he conducted the ceremony with grace and elegance. He is undoubtedly an amazing person who radiates kindness and compassion. In addition to officiating our wedding, we had the privilege of undergoing marriage counseling with Pastor Matt. This experience was invaluable to us as a couple. He provided us with tools and insights that will strengthen our marriage. His patience and wisdom made us feel comfortable discussing even the most challenging topics, and we are grateful for the foundation he helped us build. We cannot thank Pastor Matt enough for the role he played in making our wedding day a truly unforgettable and beautiful experience.

Efficient Officiant (Friend)

Valuable, Respectful, Relatable, Responsive, and Efficient are just some of the words I would use to describe Pastor Matt. It started when I was looking for an officiant for our wedding in Indiana. I came across (thanks Internet) Pastor Matt after I found out that he was willing to meet our criteria of officiant services and premarital counseling. I immediately contacted him, was greeted by a friendly face, and his prompt acceptance of our request to use his officiant and premarital counseling services. We had the privilege of meeting him first at a coffee shop in Indianapolis in April 2023 and the friendly face matched the friendly personality. We felt an instant connection as we laughed with him through the conversation of how things would go at the wedding. The subsequent weeks were when the (4) virtual premarital counseling sessions took place. They were filled again with connection, laughter, and valuable and insightful advice. Then came time for the wedding weekend in Indianapolis in August 2023 where he showed up on time for everything in spite of his own personal setbacks. This was very helpful for me since I was put in charge of hiring his services and because of the stress that weddings bring. When he showed up for the wedding rehearsal, we greeted each other with hugs because we felt as if, at this point, he was a lifelong friend. The wedding rehearsal was beyond successful. Then came the actual wedding where he again, showed up on time. I remember feeling confident in the foundation of my marriage when he came to visit the groom's suite prior to the wedding's start, him visiting was appreciated. Along with his professionalism, the wedding was a memorable experience. He officiated our wedding, and blessed the food at the reception. We are THANKFUL that Pastor Matt prepared for and was a part of our wedding! Furthermore, he loves God and loves people. If you need an officiant as well as a friend, you've found him: Pastor Matt Skiles! SIDENOTE: I've tried to get to the point as soon as possible however, I needed to provide background. I felt that I needed to go into as much depth and specificity as possible because Pastor Matt deserves it. THIS was something that I was able to connect with Pastor Matt over, how we both give background and need to get better at being like our wives and get to the point! LOL
