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. -

Outstanding Officiant!!
Matthew is a wonderful officiant and makes a ceremony a breeze! He has multiple options for writings and allowed us to personalize our draft where requested. He has a very calming presence and is delightfully humorous. We are thankful to have had Matthew officiate!! -

Matthew was the best!
Matthew was the best! He was responsive, accommodating, professional, kind, and flexible. Our wedding was a short notice wedding at the border with the US and CA. The experience was superb and much better than we could have expected due to the quick timing of the wedding - Matthew definetaly took much of the stress out of the process. He helped make our weddign perfect! He was even accepting of our dog who wanted to be part of the ceremony!
Thanks so much!

Phenomenal Job!
Despite having to move our wedding date multiple times, Matthew was always flexible, responsive, and supportive throughout the process. He helped us create a ceremony that fit our needs and preferences. We were working with him from California, so he made coordinating everything very easy and he was always understanding when we changed the wedding date for health and safety reasons. The ceremony went better than we could ever imagine. Matthew did a phenomenal job and we don't think the wedding would have went as perfectly with anyone else. -

Great Officiant
Matthew was great! We ended up eloping last minute due to Coronavirus pushing off our big wedding and Matthew was a great find! He responded quickly and was a great value for his services. Sent us everything we needed to figure out the ceremony wording and we couldn’t have been happier with how it turned out! -

Fun wedding!
We are very happy to hire Mr. Thuney for our wedding. He has a lot of experience and gave lots of input to help with our rehearsal. Very easy to talk to and open to ideas.
Our ceremony was not as serious which fits my husband and myself. Thank you Matthew and Donna!

Great public speaking and easy planning
Matthew was so kind and attentive for our ceremony. With other vendors-we had last minute plans and updates, but Matthew was always cool and collected. We got to meet Matthew and his wife prior to the wedding, which made us feel at ease.
We wanted a short and sweet ceremony at an affordable rate, and aren't the best at public speaking, Matthew provided us templates to look at to help envision how the ceremony would be laid out, which made it easy in the planning process. Also our guests we're saying what a lovely ceremony it was post wedding. Thank you again for making our wedding special! -

Extremely happy!
Do I recommend Matthew Thuney for your wedding ceremony? Yes, Yes, & YES!!! He sat down with us, quickly got to know our "style", and came up with a brilliant mixture of a short, traditional conservative ceremony but with a fun, relaxed, informal feel. Just what we wanted! He was quick to respond to emails and was willing & open to changes that we made. He was also extremely reasonably priced & you can tell he really enjoys doing this for people. Thank you Matthew for being such a huge part of our special day! -

A joyful and magical ceremony
Matt Thuney was wonderful to work with! He made our wedding ceremony so incredibly special. He wrote our Love Story with humor and care. Matt perfectly expressed the quirky aspects of our love making it a uniquely personal experience.
We did the handfasting ceremony and Matt used the script I had wanted and gave helpful tips. During the Ceremony if there were any small hiccups he was able to divert with a well timed joke.
We could not have chosen better! He was flexible, open to feedback, was punctual and genuinely enjoys what he does making everything a breeze. The Ceremony he wrote was beautiful and kept a light hearted nature, making our guests laugh and cry.

Minister Matthew was AMAZING! I wish we could rate 10 stars!
We could not be happier with his services! He met with us several weeks ahead of time to understand our hopes for the ceremony. Matthew really takes the time to get to know you and attended the rehearsal so everyone knew where to stand and what to expect which relieved the wedding jitters! I feel he really cared that we had a stress free, easy wedding. He's very much a people person. Since he has many years of radio experience his service was expressive, funny and overall we just a great time. Several of our guests complimented on what a wonderful ceremony it was!
We really enjoyed getting to know Matthew and we HIGHLY RECOMMEND "Weddings with Spirit & Wit"! He is very relaxed, go with the flow sort of guy and the pricing is very reasonable as well. He also HAND DELIVERS your paperwork to the courthouse to ensure you are legally married! You'll love him as much as we did....Guaranteed!

Matthew helped to make our wedding day so special. He is a true professional. From the very beginning, Matthew was very responsive and willing to meet to try to understand our vision for our wedding. He was quick to offer helpful suggestions to make our ceremony even better than we could have imagined. Matthew was very flexible when we decided to add a hand-fasting "tying-the-knot" as our unity ceremony. He is HIGHLY recommended and our day wouldn't have been the same with out him. Thank you Matthew!

Matthew officiated our small ceremony on Lummi Island back in April and was AMAZING! From the moment we met him to discuss options for the ceremony he made us feel at ease and offered suggestions for our small ceremony which included our children. He answered any questions we had very quickly and our ceremony couldn't have been more perfect! I couldn't imagine anyone else doing a better job! Thank you Matthew for helping make our day perfect! -

Matthew was absolutely amazing! so flexiable in his schedule for the first initial meeting to introduce ourselves and get a feel for us as a couple, able to make our rehearsal without much notice and helped with kinks that I hadn’t thought about! On the actual day he was witty but professional during our ceremony and really made us comfortable. He is super responsive to email/text and would totally and 150% recommend Mathew to anyone who is looking for a great officiant for religious or non religious weddings! 5 stars for sure! -

Let's admit it the whole wedding process is nerve racking! I was so nervous and didn't know where to start, so I hired Matthew after reading his reviews here on Wedding Wire as a place to start. That was the best first decision I could of made with our wedding. With his total professionalism and thoughtful itinerary for how the ceremony would go we knew where to go from there. Matthew was always responsive when I had any questions, spoke with me on the phone, and even sat down to breakfast with us and his lovely wife and grand daughter! His wife also helps with ceremonies if need be! He made sure to show up early to our ceremony with his associate who performed our hand fastening. He tailored our ceremony exactly to how we wanted it to go so there where no man made surprises! However, even though I was having an outdoor wedding and it snowed almost 5 inches on my wedding day, he still showed up and him and his friend probably froze their butts off making sure we went over everything and that we were absolutely ready to go! He added a light hearted air of sophistication, laughter, and togetherness to what may of been an otherwise disastrous affair! Everyone forgot how cold it was and really became apart of the moment! Mathew is professional, timely, and available not to mention a great guy!! I urge you if your thinking about hiring an officiant that will do a stellar job, pay attention to detail, and wont nickel and dime you please hire Matthew!! You wont regret it, I promise!! I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have his help to guide me before the wedding and the big day!! Thank you so much Matthew you really are the best, and thank you for joining us together, braving the cold, for our winter wonderland wedding!!-

There aren't words to truly express what it meant to have Matthew as our officiant. He crafted a ceremony that incorporated influences from culture, religion and personal beliefs beautifully into our personal love story. We felt like he found a way to perfectly share who we are as a couple with our families and friends. We highly recommend having Matthew as a wedding officiant. He has the perfect balance of grace and wit, with an incredible foundation of knowledge of different religions, faiths, and traditions. He referred us to a unique salt ceremony as the unity part of our ceremony, and helped us selected readings to ensure our ceremony was woven together perfectly. The ceremony is something we will always remember, and hold so dear to our heart! Thank you again, Matthew! -

Matthew is truly the best officiant a couple could ever ask for. He has the warmest disposition, deep professionalism, and is extremely well-written. He put together a beautiful and personal elopement ceremony in a matter of 2.5 days and was a complete joy to have marry us. He was quick in all of his responses and more than happy to make time to marry us on short notice. He even sent out our marriage certification ASAP and certified!
He really helped make our little special day all the more special. We're so grateful we found you, Matthew! Thank you!

Matthew did an amazing job officiating my wedding. My husband and I were extremely satisfied! My family was impressed by Matthew's layout. It was the perfect length, not to short and not to long. We loved that Matthew did everything we asked of him without questioning us. Thank you so much Matthew for making the most important day of our life perfect! We are so grateful. -

Everything about our experience working with Matthew was simply perfect. He had the knowledge and experience to guide us through building our dream ceremony with tons of helpful suggestions and room for personalizing every detail. He was a very genuine and nice guy who was quick to respond and very easy to work with. We first contacted him with less than a month before our big day and he was still able to create several drafts for us to review and throw feedback and suggestions back and forth until every detail was just the way we wanted. We highly suggest having Matthew write a personalized 'Love Story' for your ceremony-- all of our guests commented on how much they LOVED this aspect of our ceremony and it definitely helped convey our journey and how emotional and special the moment was to both us and our friends and family. Whether you want it sweet, simple, with a touch of humor, or a long and extravagant occasion, Matthew is more than capable of creating your perfect ceremony in any time-frame and for any budget. -

Excellent! Absolutely 5 star! Matthew officiated at the wedding of my daughter last Sunday and it was outstanding! The small, intimate gathering was organized in under 2 weeks. In that time, Matthew responded, met with my daughter and came up with a ceremony plan that was beautiful, personal and truly with spirit and wit. We couldn't have been happier. Highly recommend his services with no hesitation. Both he and his wife are lovely. -

A wonderful service!
Thank You Matthew. Lori and I greatly appreciated your efforts and services as Officiant at our wedding. Your ability to guide us through the ceremony planning process, including providing some suggestions for the readings and vows made us comfortable with the preparations. We also appreciated your flexibility in incorporating a reading selection of our own into the ceremony, and in adding a brief rehearsal on only a few days notice to ensure the ceremony went smoothly . Our guests enjoyed the short story of how the two of us met. We are certain your skills in fine tuning the writing of that story, along with smooth recitation of the story along with the rest of the ceremony contributed to that enjoyment. We are fortunate that we found you to perform our ceremony.
Matthew was very flexible in accommodating our choices. He made good suggestions on the format and content of the service and provided a complete script of the service in advance to ensure we were comfortable with the entire ceremony. He has a very friendly and engaging personality and that came across to all the wedding attendees. -

Matthew was so great and really gave us the best ceremony we could've asked for! He made sure we were getting everything we wanted from the ceremony, and didn't push anything on us that we didn't want! It was an overall great experience and I absolutely would recommend him to anybody and everybody! -

Matthew was incredible! From our first meeting, to writing our ceremony, to the final "I Do's". I thoroughly loved working with him. My fiancé couldn't care less about the wedding details, so much (all) of the planning was left up to me, including our vows. My main goal was to make everyone cry, everyone should be so flooded with emotion of love and joy they cry at your ceremony. Matthew and I achieved this! Even my fiancé cried! I knew I wanted something short and sweet as well, I got EVERYTHING I wanted. Including a unity ceremony! we were up there for under 20 minutes and the crowd was in tears! Matthew was extremely responsive to every email, every suggestion, every question. I even asked for his honest opinion on a few lines I had requested we put in and he gave me a straight answer. I valued every bit of love and care he put into our ceremony and vows, especially considering he is the most reasonably priced officiate in the area! He is truly a talented writer and speaker, we were very comfortable up there standing with him as our officiate. Thank you, Matthew! Could not have asked for anything better!

Matthew and his wife Donna are the sweetest most helpful couple we have ever had the pleasure of meeting! My husband and I are so grateful for their part in our wedding. It truly would not have been that perfect day with out them involved. We truly from the bottom of our hearts feel grateful to have crossed paths with Matt and Donna. I recommend them to ANYONE! Matthew writes the ceremonies and ours was perfect. It blended what my husband and I felt we wanted while also pleasing the two different family back grounds. I give 5 stars! 10 stars? Am I allowed to give more? Just putting a rating on a page can't possibly describe how perfect their part was in mine and my husbands wedding.

Matthew's ceremony outline was humorous and light hearted. He kept everyone smiling and engaged throughout the entire wedding. I also loved how he included our children in the vows. It is a day that we will cherish forever. Thank you Matthew!!

We knew we had the right person for our special day when we first spoke with Matthew over the phone. His gentle and willing demeanor was both, welcoming and reassuring. From the beginning of planning our intimate and special wedding event to the end of it all we have had a delightful and positive experience. About half way through our planning process we decided to have a double wedding ceremony with our best friends. Matthew was instantly on board and recreated our ceremony to accommodate the service for a double wedding. During our day we had a bit of snag with the photographer, but Matthew and Donna were super helpful and patient, as we sorted out a few last minute details. Thank you for suggesting the unique and meaningful hand fasting ritual to us. We loved the idea! We also appreciated the time we had to share and tell stories throughout getting to know each other including our time during the ceremony! Both, Matthew and his dear wife Donna were such a treat to work with. We had an incredible time spending our day with you, and our gratitude is endless. We highly recommend Matthew to anyone who is thinking of getting married. -
