Reviews
Matt led my husband and me through pre-marital counseling over 6 years ago. Although I knew the importance of pre-marital counseling, I had no idea the lasting impact it would have on our marriage. From the very beginning, Matt spoke of the importance of putting God first in our marriage, a fact that would lead us through both joyous and difficult situations.
Matt had the perfect combination of specific topics such as finance and raising children, but also made it a point to get to know us as a couple to tackle topics unique to us. Although many topics were of serious nature, Matt was always able to lighten the conversation with jokes and funny stories. Looking back, we are so thankful for Matt’s wisdom and gift of teaching. His care for others and God are so evident and a blessing to young couples about to take the leap into marriage.

We had the pleasure of working with Matt a few years ago. He guided us through premarital counseling, that I 100% recommend, even if you think you don’t need it. Thankfully, his advice still sticks with us today. It is so important for you and your spouse to be on the same page and he really makes sure to cover all the specific points and talk through them. Matt took the time to get to know my husband and I throughout the premarital meetings. We enjoyed his ceremony so much, four other couples that are our close friends used Matt for their ceremonies as well. Can’t recommend him enough!

My wife and I recently worked with Matt through pre-marital counseling and through our wedding ceremony, although it wasn’t quite that simple. The outbreak of Covid-19 postponed our original wedding date and interrupted our pre-marital counseling. Matt was more than accommodating to say the least. He was gracious enough to not only agree to reschedule to our new wedding date without hesitation, but he also worked with us to officiate on our original wedding date so we didn’t have to wait to actually get married! He was willing to work with us through the rigors of scheduling around all of the limits that the Covid pandemic placed on us. Through it all, it was clear that Matt really loves what he does, and is MOST interested in our happiness as a couple. I am not only glad that we were able to work with Matt as our officiant, but I also look forward to a long lasting friendship with Matt and am glad to know that he is always in our corner.
Thanks for everything Matt!
5 out of 5 stars – would get married again!

Matt did an incredible job officiating our wedding, but he did so much more for us as well. His premarital counseling helped my husband and me so much to realize where our strengths and weaknesses as a couple have been and how we can work on them. Matt was very warm and caring through the whole process and took the time to get to know us as a couple as well as tackling the subjects we chose for the counseling. He is so kind and genuine and made a lasting impact on my husband and me and we feel so blessed to have been able to meet with him and for him to be such an integral part of our wedding day! Thank you so much, Matt!
