Perfect ceremony

Matthew made our ceremony so perfect and special. We did a small ceremony at our house. He came early to make sure the paperwork and everything was taken care of ahead of time. He really went above and beyond. We did the standard package but nothing was standard about it. It was perfect we couldn’t be happier. If you choose him as well I promise you will not disappointed, we highly recommend him!

The perfect personable ceremony!

Matthew tailored our ceremony to be everything we imagined our very special day to have and more. From day one of meeting to wedding day, Matthew communicated so clearly and made sure our vision was effectively executed. He was so reliable throughout the process and made ourselves and our guests feel all the emotions in the best way possible!

Incredible experience with Matthew!

Matthew was everything we were looking for and more in an officiant. We were looking for someone to combine our love story, faith, humor and commitment to each other in our ceremony and he executed that to perfection. So many people complimented us after our ceremony about amazing it was, and we have Matthew to thank for that. He met with us several times leading up the the wedding to make sure the ceremony was exactly how we wanted it. He also was INCREDIBLY helpful in educating us on the marriage application process and helped us every step of the way. Don't think about it, USE MATTHEW AS YOUR OFFICIANT!

The Perfect Wedding Ceremony

We may be biased, but we think we had the world’s best wedding ceremony. The ceremony that Matthew crafted us was so beautiful, well-paced, and authentic. We’ll remember it forever, and its thoughtfulness didn’t go unnoticed—so many of our guests commented on how special and personal our ceremony was and couldn’t believe Matthew wasn’t someone we’ve known for years.

He made the upfront work easy—we had fun filling out a questionnaire about our relationship (and don’t skimp on your answers because the more detailed you are, the more magic he can weave!) and he gave us valuable steps for making sure our marriage license was a go and that we were ready for the big day. On the day of, he brought his upbeat, calm but confident vibe and the whole ceremony went off without a hitch.

It was a perfect day and we’re so thankful that we had Matthew officiate our wedding. We’d recommend him to any couple for their wedding day!

Effortless Perfection

Matthew Clemente was fantastic to have as our officiant. He had asked really thoughtful questions and made to whole process easy. Many of our guests came up to gush over the ceremony and how "us" it was and my new husband and I know it was all because of him. He jumped in feet first with our wedding theme and even dressed to match.

Thank you Matt!!

Matthew made our wedding ceremony absolutely perfect! His warm presence, thoughtful words, and personal touch created a heartfelt experience we will cherish forever. His questionnaire allows for him to truly get an understanding of who we were as a couple and we loved that about him! Matt was professional, kind, and ensured everything went smoothly (down to the marriage license with his reminders!) He even popped out of the way and removed the mic stand for our first kiss which made the photo so special and we are so thankful he thought to do that! We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant, thank you so much Matt! Highly recommended!

Great experience!

We had a such a great experience choosing Matthew Clemente as our officiant. He met with us several times to make sure everything went smoothly on our wedding day. He took care of everything for us from start to finish and let us know exactly what we needed as far as paperwork. He did such an amazing job that people at our wedding came up to us and asked us if we knew him personally.
