    Exceeded Our Expectations

    Kyle Allen did a phenomenal job performing our ceremony. We had multiple meetings prior to our wedding day which made me and my husband feel much more relaxed about the process. He personalizes everything and creates a ceremony that is truly just for you and your spouse. I received countless compliments on how beautiful the ceremony was and how unique it was because of how customized it was. We can’t thank Kyle enough for being a part of our special day!

    Flexible and accomodating

    Kyle did a wonderful job explaining the process and was very upbeat and professional. We ran into traffic so were a little late getting there but everything went great. We got our license back from the county just 2 weeks later.

    Matt was the most amazing officiant. He helped us to custom create our ceremony, and everyone that attended said that was the most genuine ceremony they had ever seen. It celebrated our love, and Matt helped us put that into words. He is incredibly professional, and he led our rehearsal and ceremony with grace. He is the kind of person that once you meet, you know that no one else would be better to help you create a personalized, beautiful ceremony. I would recommend him for your ceremony, as he is eloquent, friendly, and cares about your vision and your success as a couple.

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!
