"We are so grateful that we got to work with Matt for our wedding ceremony in Burdett, NY. He really did his due diligence while preparing our ceremony and it was nothing short of perfect. Matt is extremely on top of things and will bring up aspects of your ceremony you may have never thought about. We had multiple people mention how lovely our ceremony was after our wedding.

If you’re looking for an officiant, stop now. Matthew is the only person you need. He is so organized and on top of everything; he put my mind to ease! He truly cares about your day and wants it to be the best day for you. My wedding (on 9/3/22) ran smoothly 100% because of him. From the beginning, I felt confident that he was the guy to ease my type A self. He got to know us, our story, and our needs. He put a personal touch on the ceremony from the details and dynamics he gathered through us. We absolutely loved our script. He is very kind, funny and charismatic, we received many compliments about him. We had a lot of last minute changes and he did not skip a beat. He even gave advice to my new brother in law that is getting into officiating! If you can, I also highly recommend you book him for rehearsal. Everyone was on point because of his thorough and clear instructions. 10000% recommend. ❤️ - Juliya K.

Matt did an absolutely fantastic job officiating our wedding. He was able to tailor the ceremony to fit our style and comfort levels. So many of our guests commented how amazing Matt was and they were shocked that we didn’t have a personal connection to him. He was able to insert humor into our ceremony (at our request) while telling a beautiful story that conveyed our love for one another. Matt was so organized and really great to work with. We can’t recommend him enough. - Ashley T.

“Matthew was absolutely amazing. We hired Matthew after he was the officant for my sister’s wedding. We were so impressed that we knew we needed him for ours. Matthew takes his craft very seriously down to the little details. We wanted a more uplifting and humorous ceremony, in which Matthew delivered very tastefully. He also incorporated our “Love Lock” piece and a bit of my Ukrainian culture in the ceremony. Prior to the ceremony, Matthew worked incredibly well with other vendors and makes sure everyone is on the same page. At the end, we received many comments regarding Matthew and how wonderful our officiant was. We highly recommend him, You will not be disappointed!” ~ Liz S.

"About 18 months ago I proposed to my now wife. She is from another country and she arrived here in the U.S. in mid-December. We only had 90 days to marry, or else she would have to leave the country. We found a venue pretty quick but was unsure who would marry us. But then it dawned on me that I had a childhood friend that I've known probably 35 or 40 years, it was Matt. He was able to accommodate us in very short notice, not to mention it was a true honor to be married by one of my oldest and best friends. Matt's ceremony was warm and very heartfelt. He definitely took his time and put lots of thought into the words he would say. He did an excellent job and we could not ask for a better or more sincere ceremony than what he performed on our wedding day. I give Matt the highest praises. So if you're looking for somebody to on your special date, I recommend Matt." ~ Dayton H.

"If you are looking for an officiant, look no further! Matt was absolutely wonderful to work with! I was so worried about finding someone that would put the care and attention into our wedding ceremony but also someone who could seem like they knew us forever. Matt fit the bill! The ceremony was so important to me, and all my guests RAVED about how wonderful he was. He took time to find out about my husband and I, our life story and craft a completely unique ceremony. Matt attended our rehearsal and really helped guide us all on what needed to happen when, it was really seamless with his help. On our wedding day, he rangled my rowdy groomsman and gave them important reminders for my photographer. I would recommend Matt a hundred times over again if you are getting married!" ~ Allison C.

He is simply one of the most down to earth people I’ve ever met and takes pride in his work to ensure you and your person have the most beautiful and special day. The way that he uses his words when he is marrying two people that love each other will make anyone tear up and laugh and make it so beautiful. I couldn’t have imagined having anyone better to marry my husband and I. Thank you for everything you did for us leading up to our day and making it everything I would’ve dreamt it would be, Matt! We love you" ~ Christina H.

"I recently photographed a wedding that Matt officiated at. He was extremely professional and very accommodating. Matt was easy to get along with. Looking forward to the next wedding I get to work with with Matt." ~ Kristin Ann
"There is so much I could say about Matthew. I met him at the wedding expo at the Arnot Mall and fell in love with the way he got to know both me and my husband and I couldn't have asked for anyone better to officiate us. He also threw in a surprise for us during the ceremony. We started seeing each other because of our love of Jeeps and he decided for a very first, to "duck us" (a Jeep thing). We now have wedding ducks to celebrate everyday the love we have for each other. It's a great reminder and I couldn't have asked for a better day or a better Officiant" ~ Melissa H.
"My husband and I decided to elope on Cayuga Lake and only had a few weeks to plan.
