Just me
Matt Sims Officiant is a wedding officiant based in Chantilly, Virginia, serving Northern Virginia. I have a master's in theology and am an ordained pastor. I have a lot of experience working with crowds from my over 20-year career as a public speaker and actor and I have officiated over 200 weddings. I am a proud member of the Screen Actors Guild.
I was born in England and moved to the USA 18 years ago, but I still have a strong British accent, which would make your ceremony a little more unique sounding!
As a pastor, I specialize in Christian weddings and would love to work with you to make your day a special and God-honoring one for you and your new spouse and to be honoring to your family members.
I am available for ceremonies of varying lengths and styles. I would be delighted to lead your ceremony from start to finish or help you and your loved ones be involved. Consultations are important to come up with a ceremony that is meaningful and memorable. I will provide you with an order of service ahead of your big day to ensure everything is as you imagined.
Matt Sims Officiant is licensed to officiate weddings in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and DC.

Matt was the best!
After the day the courthouse lost some of our paperwork, and Matt drove all the way out to us to replace it and got it sorted out quickly! Could not recommend him more and the British accent is definitely a plus!
