Telicia Getting married on 05/14/2023Best officiants ever!
Ernie did an amazing job with our ceremony. When he spoke it was so fluid and it was like he knew us for years. He took the time to get to know us. We have been to a lot of weddings and he’s the best! He gave the best speech about us during the ceremony. He was professional and early to the event. Everyone in the audience was captivated and kept attention during the whole ceremony. He has a great sense of humor and is very down to Earth.EC Matrimony's reply:
Thank you so much for the amazing review. I loved being able to serve as your officiant. Now if only we can make sure another train doesn’t break down and block traffic 😂 -

Ernie was wonderful! Throughout the planning process, he was very attentive during the Q&A to make our ceremony customized to us and highlight our personalities. During the months / weeks / days leading up to our event, Ernie was very responsive to any questions we had throughout. During the ceremony, his calming presence helped me through the ceremony and reading of my vows. I'm somewhat shy and loathe public speaking even if front of loved ones and people I know. I'm not one who speaks loud and I get very emotional. Ernie was whispering affirmations and positive words to keep me focused and calm. We both just want to thank Ernie for such a beautiful service that we will cherish the memories we made that day forever! Sincerely Paul & Steph SaundersEC Matrimony's reply:

I have worked with EC Matrimony on a couple different occasions. The ceremony is always runs flawlessly and is just perfect. My couples are always so happy with him.
I am one of the owners of Once Upon A Happy Ending Events based in Wilsonville. Recently we had the amazing opportunity to plan a wedding in just 30 days. Ernie came highly recommended to us by other wedding professionals and he did not disappoint! I was very impressed with his dedication and willingness to work with our couple, even on very short notice. Ernie has quickly become one of our preferred vendors and we highly recommend him!
