As a wedding professional, I knew that Matt Nathanson was the perfect choice to join my now husband and I on our wedding day! We had an absolute blast getting to meet with him and tell him our story! His resources and tools were so helpful throughout our planning process and while writing our vows. Even following the wedding, we are still hearing about how incredible our ceremony was - it was everyone's favorite part! Thank you Matt, our day was so perfect because of you!

Matt was amazing!!! He did the BEST ceremony we could have hoped for. He made it so personalized and special for us. He made everyone laugh and cry- people are still talking about how wonderful his ceremony was. He was so easy to talk to and get to know- we would recommend him to absolutely anyone! Hands down, he made it the best ceremony ever! Thank you Matt!!

The wedding ceremony is truly the most important part of the wedding (that's why were here!). We chose Matt because he is unique and fun. He made our ceremony unforgettable!!! No other officiant appealed to us they way Matt did. He customizes the ceremony so well it feels as if your best friend was marrying you. He is truly amazing and I wouldn't have changed a single thing about our ceremony. I've been to so many weddings where the officiant gives a very generic speech and bores the guests to pieces. Matt is the exact opposite. His energy and excitement get the crowd excited as well! Our friends and family are still talking about the ceremony and how it resonated with them. How often do you hear that!? Hands down the best officiant out there.

Rev. Matt had cruised the corporate road, doing fine and enjoying life until a major sickness took him out for a season. During that time he realized that life was more than the corporate world. After beating his sickness he set out to help people in a tangible way, and started officiating weddings. If you can book him, I can tell you he'll make your day special.

Matt is our favorite wedding officiant. He is a "one of a kind", easy going, personable and top notch professional. He meets with his clients and gets to know them on a personal level and carries that personal touch to the alter and through the ceremony. The Ashley Castle staff highly recommends Matt to officiate your special wedding ceremony!

I had the opportunity to meet Matt over 6 years ago before I started my company. His passion for serving couples with a heart felt and unique ceremony makes him one of my very favorite officiants. Our team has had multiple opportunities to work with Matt over the years, and every ceremony leaves us speechless. He has a way of connecting with couples and making them feel incredibly special leading up to their wedding and especially on their wedding day. We would HIGHLY recommend Matt!
