10/10!!! Professional & Kind!

Matthew officiated my wedding and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to officiate the ceremony! My husband and I highly recommend Matthew to anyone who is looking for a kind, comforting, and charming man with a brilliant sense of humor!

Matthew is Amazing!

He made our ceremony personal, fun & interesting. I wanted something simple with a little nit of humor and some personal elements, he delivered 110%! I got so many compliments on how great our officiant was. I would recommend him to everyone looking for an officiant without any hesitation.

Matthew is a treasure

We found Matthew by his reviews and we are so glad we did! Matthew is easy to communicate with either by email or phone, even Skype if you chose.
He gives you so many wonderful options to create and customize based on your preferences, also is incredibly open to any ideas you have. Having done so many, he also has wonderful unique ideas.
Everyone that attended our wedding loved the ceremony, he really knows how to bring the group together and makes them really feel included.
I could go on and on… book Matthew you will not be disappointed.

Two Widowed Seniors got Hitched AGAIN

We met. We fell in love. We met Matthew. We fell in love again!
Matthew listened to our story. Captivated the nuance of who we are together, and performed the ceremony we wanted. A bit serious. A bit funny. And ad libbed when bride and groom swallowed the same bug (you had to be there)! Matthew was never daunted by the venue, the ruckus workers made just outside our outside chapel, the heat, and an anxious bride. The proverbial knot was tied with style and wit and secured with a Klingon Greeting. Again, you had to be there! Thank you Matthew for getting us hitched. We will never forget and will always endorse and recommend you.

Perfect experience

Matthew did an amazing job officiating our wedding. He was highly professional throughout the whole process, really nice, and easy to work with. Prices were very reasonable. Highly recommend choosing some of the optional ceremony touches such as the love story. Was a very memorable ceremony and guests loved the personal touches.

Our Amazing Wedding

After much research and conversations my wife and I decided on using Matt / Spirit And Wit... he was very helpful, accommodating and professional yet personal. He truly went out of his way, above and beyond to make our day special.

Flexibility is key

Our ceremony was never going to be over the top, but Covid made the need for flexibility a priority. Matthew was very communicative, non-judgemental, professional, and above all, flexible. Even though it was a brief moment, he still made it memorable.

Matthew is awesome!

Matthew was awesome right from the start. We originally contacted him back in February for our wedding in July. He was such a pleasure to work with, lots of suggestions to tailor our wedding to be personal, questions to get to know us better, just lovely to work with...and then the lock-down hit. We had to postpone the wedding due to logistics and when we decided to go ahead a couple months later, he was ready with two weeks notice. He even is a bit of a weather forecaster! 😉 It was raining at our appointed time and he suggested we wait a little bit, and sure enough it stopped and held off for another two hours.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
