Great Experience
We had a great experience with Matt officiating our wedding. We went in not really knowing where to start, just knowing what we definitely did NOT want.
Matt was very professional and easy to work with. He gave us all the important information as well as some ideas for a ceremony that ended up being perfect. He incorporated aspects of us as a couple and things we enjoy together (including the mixing of two beers at the end of the ceremony!) in a way that was very genuine. The words were great on paper, but Matt's delivery really made them feel meaningful.
Matt was responsive to any of our questions and ideas, and was happy to meet with us to talk and go over things in person. He is also really fun to be around, and we wished he could have hung out the whole night at our reception!We had a great experience with Matt officiating our wedding.

Perfect officiant for our elopement
We planned a last minute elopement at New Haven City Hall, and Matt was the ideal officiant. He was super responsive via text/email/phone, tailored the ceremony to our preferences, was willing to dress up or down as needed, and showed up to the site before we did. He knew the ideal location within City Hall to hold our ceremony, with great natural lighting for pics! He exceeded our expectations and I highly recommend him.We planned a last minute elopement at New Haven City Hall, and Matt was the ideal officiant.

We emailed Matt on a Thursday afternoon and wanted to get married 24 hours later, and he said “ok rad.” We spent much of the evening texting about details, including a few quirky additions to personalize the event. He was game for all of it, arrived right on time looking chic and delivered a sweet, thoughtful, funny ceremony that was absolutely exactly what we wanted. He was professional, charismatic, and enthusiastic and I would very much recommend him to anyone who wants something just a little bit different from the traditional service (though it seems like he would be great at those too)We emailed Matt on a Thursday afternoon and wanted to get married 24 hours later, and he said “ok rad.” We spent much of the evening texting about details, including a few quirky additions to personalize the event.

Matt was great. We ended up writing our whole ceremony, so we didn't use him for that part, but he was supportive and enthusiastic, gave us great feedback, and the best compliment we got was that several guests didn't realize he was a for-hire officiant- they thought he was a friend of ours. He was professional and has a great voice, and was warm and personable.Matt was great.

Matt was absolutely amazing - we were having a destination wedding and he was able to ensure we had a legal wedding in the USA without feeling like we had a wedding - this kept our destination wedding still feeling very special for us. Absolutely amazing with response times, flexibility and ensuring you're getting the type of ceremony or service that you want! HAve already recommended him to others and will continue to do so!Matt was absolutely amazing - we were having a destination wedding and he was able to ensure we had a legal wedding in the USA without feeling like we had a wedding - this kept our destination wedding still feeling very special for us.

From the day we met with Matt, he was very professional, funny and we knew he was exactly what we were looking for. We met him for drinks, he got to know us and took notes, then a couple months later we e-mailed him some random details about ourselves and our life together. Then he showed up at our wedding and spoke about us like we had been friends forever. It was the most beautiful ceremony and everything we had hoped for and more. Our guests laughed, shed tears, and even told us that it seemed like he knew us forever. That was the goal, and Matt succeeded!From the day we met with Matt, he was very professional, funny and we knew he was exactly what we were looking for.

Matt married our sorry asses in 2015. Here we are, three years later, and we're still happily married. He made the occasion special, treating it with all due respect but just a touch of irreverence. Great sense of humor and joi de vivre. Highly recommend.Matt married our sorry asses in 2015. Here we are, three years later, and we're still happily married.

Matt is one of those rare professionals who not only loves what he does but is actually very good at it. We connected with him through his website and he immediately returned the call while he was in FL.
We challenged him with a very short timeline in which to work and he accommodated us with great ease. Our ceremony was held in our home and although it was just the three of us - plus a wonderful friend - the love and energy of the moment was more than we ever expected.
The man is pure charm and grace. No doubt he can deliver whatever is needed.Matt is one of those rare professionals who not only loves what he does but is actually very good at it. We connected with him through his website and he immediately returned the call while he was in FL.

My now husband and I were very apprehensive about finding someone for our very non-traditional ceremony - just me, my husband, and Matt! Matt was excellent - he made us feel very comfortable and we loved the simple and sweet vows. We will most definitely have Matt host our vow renewal in the future, great guy!My now husband and I were very apprehensive about finding someone for our very non-traditional ceremony - just me, my husband, and Matt!

Perfect is the best word we can use to describe Matt. He is one of the nicest people we have ever met and he is great at what he does. He was so helpful and understanding of what we wanted to do for our ceremony and helped make it perfect! He made us so comfortable and it was as if we have known him for years. He is the best officiant we could have ever asked for and we HIGHLY recommend him!Perfect is the best word we can use to describe Matt.

Matt was great to work with! We actually had a unique situation where we planned to have a friend officiate the ceremony but learned later that Ct is unlike other states where u can just go online and be certified. In CT you can only be legally married by a JP or judge. So we searched for a JP that would agree to let someone else officiate and then do the legal
stuff in the background. We met with a few before Matt. Even though they werent doing the actual ceremony, we just didnt get good vibes from any we met with before meeting with Matt. Matt was very refreshing to deal with - no set price or ridiculous contract unless you wanted one. He provided a range for money and you chose what you thought was fair. He helped my friend Ryan who did the officiating with ideas, etc. he was very responsive via email and just down to earth.Matt was great to work with!

I traveled to New Haven CT from Miami, Florida to marry my partner in the home of friends and found Matts site to officiate, after several correspondences with Matt to ensure my craziness in organization would go right. Matt far exceeded my expectations, He was helpful from the beginning and friendly and turned what was to be a very simple ceremony into one that was more heartfelt and special to my partner and I than I had imagined. After the ceremony Matt stayed a little while and joined into the celebration with a toast and well wishes and conversation. Matt is a people person and Is so fitted to what he does and enjoys in being a Justice of the Peace.

Matt was a great Justice of the Peace! We relocated to California and handled all of the organization & planning via phone - and Matt couldn't have been more accommodating and easy to work with. He really listened to what we wanted for the ceremony, and turned our feedback into a memorable ceremony that was exactly what we wanted for. What's even better - he's just a really nice guy, which made it so easy to be comfortable with him in such a private moment! Would HIGHLY recommend Matt for anyone in the area who needs a JP!Matt was a great Justice of the Peace!

We came across Matt on the CT JP website when looking for an officiant. We met with him about 1 year prior to the wedding and he was great. Email communication throughout the planning time was prompt. He was very professional and let us make the ceremony our own and gave recommendations for readings. We only met once prior to the wedding and multiple guests came up to us during the reception and asked if we were friends with or knew Matt personally prior to the wedding due to how great the ceremony was and how personal everything felt. I would recommend Matt wholeheartedly to anyone who wants a personalized, secular wedding/marriage/union ceremony.We came across Matt on the CT JP website when looking for an officiant.
