Best officiant ever!

Our biggest concern with finding a wedding officiant was finding someone who was not going to be judgmental toward our family and friends. We were so pleased to find Matt. Not only did he nail the ceremony, but he also stayed and was a part of the whole night. He made everyone feel loved. We could not have found a better person to do our wedding. 5 Stars! - Trey & Taylor, TN

The Most Perfect Ceremony

My fiancé and I decided to have a small elopement-style ceremony, less than 2 months after we got engaged. I was worried about finding a good officiant in a short amount of time. Based on reviews I found online, Matt was someone I wanted to contact.
We met with Matt for coffee, and he was so kind and personable. I told him I didn’t want to write our own vows, but I didn’t want just the typical vows either. Matt showed us the script he uses, and it was incredible. He was open to any tweaks or suggestions we had, but we didn’t have much to change, because it felt like it had been written specifically for us.
At the ceremony, Matt had a great speaking voice and a calming presence. Afterwards, our family couldn’t stop complimenting how well Matt officiated and how meaningful the vows were. Our wedding was the most perfect day, better than we could have imagined. And I’m thankful that Matt was available to take part in making that happen.

Smooth sailing!

Matt put us at ease right away on our initial video call. From there, he kept every promise and made the process very easy. Appreciated his flexibility in customizing the vows however we pleased. Would hire him again (let's hope I don't need to :))!

Matt Wade is a true professional

My husband and I only really interacted with Matt a few times prior to the ceremony, and he delivered a product that was personalized, humorous, and succinct. We and our guests loved having him and we received multiple compliments specifically for Matt. Couldn’t recommend him enough for anyone looking for an experienced officiant in the area!
