Weddings with Spirit and Wit

Sometimes the glitches provide the most memorable moments. When the "Bluetooth disconnected" announcement blared out during the closing blessing, I simply added, "May your Bluetooth always be connected." Sorry, I just couldn't resist. Thanks so much to this wonderful couple and their inspirational story!
"Mathew is an amazing officiant! He made our ceremony very enjoyable with lots of laughs, which everybody loved. We had a PA sound system issue where, "Bluetooth disconnected," blasted out of one speaker in the middle of his last blessing to us, but he quickly came back with a joke, and it was very smooth and hilarious. Despite the sound system mishap, our ceremony was beautiful thanks to Matthew. He was really easy to work with and writes beautiful ceremony readings with a touch of humor. We highly recommend Matthew!

A wonderful wedding in an amazing setting. Summer wedding season may be winding down, but autumn ceremonies have a charm all their own. Love among the multi-colored leaves!

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!

A lovely summer wedding at Lairmont Manor: "Thank you again for officiating our wedding! It was an absolutely perfect day and we’re so glad you were a part of it. Our guests went on and on about how they enjoyed your presence and humor during the ceremony."

This is turning into a super summer of wonderful weddings. I worked with these newlyweds to create a "Love Story" that the guests truly enjoyed...and so did the couple: "I just wanted to say thank you. Your service was absolutely wonderful, and you did an even more beautiful job of delivering out loud than it sounded when we read it. Thank you again. You were a special part of our day."

As we head into the height of the wedding season, it's always a delight to be honored with remarkable and immensely appreciated reviews like this: "We loved having Matthew officiate our wedding! He was so helpful in explaining to us exactly how the ceremony was going to go and letting us customize it as we wanted and even giving us ideas for things that we hadn’t originally thought of! He was right on time and very professional and kind. I definitely recommend him." And it was a pleasure to write their Love Story, finding love while stuck in the mud. Mudch love to all this summer!

"Just Awesome. Matt was so great!!! We had quite an unconventional wedding and he was fun and funny, my family loved it." Great way to start off 2022, with a surprise wedding that was pitched to friends and family as a New Year's Day costume party. Madonna and Obi-Wan were in attendance. What an honor!

Another busy, joyous, and challenging year in the matrimonial books. Huge thanks to all the wonderful couples who honored me with their trust to serve as their officiant. Looking forward to even more smiles, tears, laughter, and love in 2022, and wishing everyone health, happiness, and lotsa humongous hugs!

Another amazing review from a recent wedding on a sunny autumn day with an even sunnier couple!
"Matthew did a fantastic job officiating my wedding. He was very communicative and friendly throughout the whole process. He is a wonderful storyteller and his passion shows in his work. Everyone at our wedding came up to my husband and I to tell us how much they loved our ceremony. I highly recommend Matthew from Weddings with Spirit and Wit."

Always a pleasure to work with couples to make their vision become reality! Summer wedding season may be winding down, but autumn and winter weddings possess their own unique charm and beauty. Let's bring your dream to life!

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.
