prior to the ceremony to help everything run smoothly. Many of our guests asked if we knew David personally because he was so incredibly sincere and such a wonderful speaker. We could not have been happier to have Better Together Matrimonies for our special day.

early and was ready to go. Wish we would've met him beforehand to prevent the miscommunication that happened on the day of. A brief video conference or face-to-face meeting would really make the whole experience just a little more solid. Ryan led the ceremony just as we had hoped he would and really represented what we were looking for. 5 stars would be our review, but because we did not meet prior to or have a face to the name I've got to dock one star. Thank you for the fun lighthearted service.

and seemed to be incapable of helping to coordinate events which is what we retained her for. She was more than 1.5hr late to and did not think to confirm times with us when she got some incorrect information from the Resort even though we met with her to discuss all the specifics. She could not be readily reached on that day and the company had to try to reach out to her partner to locate her. On our wedding day we had a rain delay and had to rearrange some of the schedule. She was just OK at completing simple tasks, but even so, many were still missed and did not delegate as needed to the resort staff and other wedding party helpers that we provided her with. At best she seemed to be a junior extension of some of the resort staff. I would not have imagined we could have had such a poor experience. She seemed frazzled and unsure what to do almost the entire time, did a horrible job of coordinating guests and did not make any announcements to help keep things on track. She was not a part of the contingency planning when it rained and others in the wedding party had to step up to help including the bride’s sister and my daughter. My teen daughter's friend did more to coordinate the ceremony that Carlee did down to getting the DJ going to get the ceremony kicked off. She did not know or get in the palace the guest food labels like we discussed or have the card box available for the reception. I called her to meet with me and the DJ to review the schedule due to the earlier rain delays, but she still did not help to coordinate the events for the rest of the evening. As an example, the cake cutting was missed. Coordinating the schedule we provided and discussed was the most basic function we could have considered and it was still a fail. We were also informed of a situation where she was somewhat rude to a guest inquiring about the meal options. After sharing my sentiments with the owner of the company, he just advised that Carlee would no longer be working as a planner/ coordinator. I hope for you that is actually the case. Thankfully our guests still had a great time despite Carlee’s poor performance. Please note this review is for Day of and Rehearsal Coordination services provided by Better Together Matrimonies. Officiant Services (Great! 5 stars): Anthony was a great officiant! He was professional and great to work with. We really appreciated him being a part of our wedding and his speech and ceremony was great and really heartfelt and incorporated details about us that we discussed in advance. It really engaged the whole wedding party with the interesting stories and thoughts as part of such an important day for us. He even captured sentiments of how important those attending the wedding was to us especially since it was a destination wedding. Anthony gets top marks and got great praise from the attendees as well!! Thanks again.

o kindly and for his grounded presence. A beautiful celebration.

ght choose is, and just have David (Davey) Singer officiate your wedding. We were so lucky we picked David; he was absolutely perfect. He was professional, timely, a great speaker, and just an overall great guy. He eased our nerves during both the rehearsal and ceremony, and after the wedding, we received so many positive comments from our guests about how he was able to balance the ceremony with emotion and light touches of humor. The wedding ceremony planner packet from Better Together Matrimonies made deciding the wording we wanted throughout the ceremony simple, and we were able to add our own touches throughout the ceremony which David incorporated flawlessly. Thank you, David, for helping make our special day perfect. Brett & Victoria Conway

and Jordan worked with us each time we had to change the date. I would recommend Jordan at Better Together Matrimonies to anyone that is getting married. He truly made our day so very special.

o because how upset I am that I consistently reminded that my husband and I were not given the opportunity to say our vows, we have been waiting for that moment only for it to be taken away or forgotten by our officiant who showed up not prepared. And Anthony had my vows in his hands. He didn't say anything personal about us as a couple at all. For an amount of $708 plus tip, this is the worst money we ever spent. His assistant sent us a ceremony planner 3 days before our wedding ??? Really? So disorganize! We reached out to the company right after the wedding. They promised to give us a call for a refund( so we will donate it to church or temple). But we haven't heard anything back from them at all. What a shame!

whether it is providing impactful relationship advice during a pre-marriage counseling session or delivering a heartfelt account on love during a marriage ceremony. I cannot begin to express my gratitude towards Anthony. When our wedding was cancelled from COVID, he immediately reached out letting us know that he would be with us whenever we needed him. So it came as no surprise when eight months later we did finally marry, he agreed to drive three hours from his own home to officiate our small wedding on New Years Eve. Anthony, both literally and figuratively, went out of his way to make my wedding every bit of personal and intimate that he promised on the first day we met. I wholly recommend Anthony Montana, you will not regret it. And lastly, I would be remiss if I did not give a shoutout to our very grounded and stellar photographer Avery. Thank you for making our day perfect.

ly was asking if Anthony was a family friend of ours. The funny thing is, we had never met Anthony prior to our officiant search and due to Covid circumstances, we didn’t even have the chance to meet Anthony in-person until our big day. Picking an officiant was a daunting task for us because we wanted to choose a person who truly understood us, our love for one another, and someone who could properly convey that to our family and friends on our big day. Anthony went above and beyond our expectations...HIGHLY recommended!

e past. Such as, we weren't sure how the whole officiant speech + vows was supposed to work, and how couples customize it to fit their style, and Davie talked us through that. Such as, we weren't sure which photographs we wanted but knew we wanted "memories." A lot of other people know how to take "memories" but we did not, and Connor helped us discover how to create "memories" that showcased our personality as a couple. Better Together Ministries helped us craft a marriage with lovely photographs that will last for decades to come.

ple you’ll ever meet. We are lucky to have had Daniel officiate our important day.

are SO glad he did. David was personable and worked with us on all of the specific details and requests we had for our special day. We were looking for a more nondenominational ceremony with a few blessings added in and we were able to customize to our specific needs. He joined us for the rehearsal to make sure we were comfortable, asked questions and making adjustments when necessary. And on our wedding day he absolutely knocked it out of the park. It was the most perfect ceremony filled with laughs and love all around. He took care of the marriage certificate afterwards and made the process seamless. He also provided us with a beautiful blessing on the spot for our reception dinner. David thank you so much for everything you did for us! You helped make our day so memorable!

better.

day Davey, one of the officiants, stepped up and attended our rehearsal. Davey was very professional yet laid-back and easy to relate with. He took the time to get to know us as a couple and listened to what we were looking to accomplish with our wedding ceremony. On our wedding day we could not have asked for a better officiant. Davey was not only professional, well dressed and punctual, he had a script memorized that was well thought out and seemed custom made for us. We laughed, smiled and even teared up as he conducted our ceremony with the utmost ease. Many of our guests raved about our officiant and thought we had been friends for a long time! I would highly recommend Better Together for your wedding needs.

exceptional reviews, selected Anthony to perform her wedding. My daughter's wedding was one of the most beautiful ceremonies (besides my own) and I decided on her wedding day that I too would have him perform my Disney destination wedding. Having the perfect officiant to perform my wedding ceremony on the most important and magical day of my life at the most magical place in the world made lasting memories that I would cherish for the rest of my life. My future husband and I began premarital counseling with Anthony 1 year prior to our wedding and we continue to meet with him as we look upon Anthony not only as a counselor, mentor, and find but he is family to us. Anthony helped us get through several rough moments leading up to or wedding day. Without Anthony's direction and guidance, we may not have been able to grow together as a couple and use the difficult times to strengthen the bond between us. Anthony helped guide us when we lost our direction and his dedication and commitment to us and our relationship was more than we could have ever expected or asked for. Thank you Anthony for always being our biggest cheerleader before, during and after our wedding and for being an important part of not only my daughter and her husband's but of our own 'Happily Ever After'.

made him feel at ease before our ceremony started and that he made him feel confident and way less nervous. Anthony Montana made our entire ceremony. I am so happy he made my hubs so happy, but he also made me feel the same. He made our ceremony so personal and perfect. I had so many people compliment him after the ceremony (in fact throughout the entire reception and now a week later I still have people commenting on how amazing our officiant was). Even if you're a little nervous or hesitant since booking an officiant can be stressful -- I promise you, you will be over the moon happy if you have Anthony Montana lead your wedding. He is SO worth it! You'll be happy you did.

imonies and they were so helpful and accommodating right off the bat! Anthony was so kind and helpful and reassured us they would be able to take care of us, regardless of the short notice. His assistant, Megan, was so quick to contact us and get everything figured out. Our officiant, Zach Leinberger, did an excellent job. Thank y'all so much for everything!

ony but one that touched our hearts and inspired our guest was a big task but Pastor Montana was able to do just that. Many of our guest came up to us letting us know that we had the most impactful but quickest ceremony they have ever witnessed which is exactly what we asked for!

mony seamlessly. I was really picky and feel like we got very lucky!

ny. With so many reviews and kind words said about him specifically, we set up a time to meet with him. Meeting Anthony was an absolute blast. He was funny, relaxed, patient with our kid who joined the meeting, and understood what we were looking for in an officiant. We decided to book him after the meeting. On our wedding day, he was phenomenal. He must have written notes during our meeting because he included little tidbits about our lives that we didn’t include in our questionnaire. He was funny, compelling, and rolled with my husband’s and I comments during the ceremony. We got so many comments from our guests saying our ceremony was so us. And I thank Anthony for that.

Anthony was full of positive energy and ideas during our premarital counseling and made it very easy to share personal details and make a true positive impact on our understanding of each other. Leading up to the wedding, Anthony was always available when we had questions and full of resources and ideas, even when we were ironing out details for a knot tying ceremony in the closing days leading up to the wedding. During the actual ceremony, Anthony facilitated a heartfelt ceremony that was perfect. We overheard our photographer, who had been doing weddings for over 20 years, go up to him and say he was the best officiant he's ever seen. Do yourself a favor and hire Anthony as your officiant and premarital counselor, you will be thankful you did!

bration. When Anthony was unable to officiant, he referred Mr. Lara who met and exceeded my expectations. The guests kept coming up to us and telling us what a beautiful ceremony and such beautiful words were spoken. But here is the kicker Mr. Lara conducted the ceremony in two languages! He did it in english and then translated in spanish with such ease and flow. Thank you Mr. Lara for your hard work in ensuring the most important part of my daughters celebration was a memorable one for all.. Thank you, Better Together Matrimonies, for all your help!

great time! We had multiple guests ask us if he was a longtime friend of ours! The ceremony was perfect, and we would definitely recommend!

told us it would not be a favorable outcome and he was declining fast. In a whirl wind decision, my husband and I made an executive decision to get married to ensure my dad would be part of our special day. Our small hospital wedding was intimate and, as you can imagine, incredibly emotional. My husband did some frantic research and stumbled upon Anthony and Better Together Matrimonies. We were instantly captivated by the glowing reviews and figured it was worth a shot. Anthony surpassed every expectation that we had. From the initial conversations, to the actual ceremony, and afterward -- he went above and beyond for us. He made the process so simple, even letting us customize the vows for the special circumstance. We were touched by his ability to read the situation and be exactly who we needed him to be in such a hard time. His words were spoken with so much heart, almost as if we had known him for years. He made us feel like family. This is something we could never repay him for. We will never forget Anthony and the compassion, professionalism, and just pure understanding he showed us and our situation. We would recommend him to anyone, any time, for any situation. You will not be disappointed. Anthony takes all of his couples in as family — showing all that this is much more than just a job.

ve been friends. I don't think we can come up with a better way to sum up our experience with him.

felt like we had known him for a long time. He was super friendly and such a nice charisma that made the decision easy for us to hire him. This is definitely the service and the officiant you want to hire for your next ceremony. He has offers professionalism at its highest, friendly service, and reliable. Joe, the bilingual officiant, was also great. He made some of our family members feel comfortable with a warm greetings and respectful attitude. We received many compliments because Anthony and Joe personalized our ceremony and were attentive to last minute changes. Thank you for making our Big Day the best day special and unforgettable!!

f relief, we instantly knew our ceremony would go off without a hitch. We filled out a questionnaire, and he had us write things about our significant other. I have to say, that was one of my favorite memories from planning our wedding. We really got to dive into our emotions, and the love we have for each other. Our ceremony was perfect. Our guests are still talking about it, and how relatable it was. Anthony told our story perfectly, and kept it light hearted which is exactly what we wanted. Thank you so much for marrying us, Anthony. And thank you for blessing our marriage, and praying with us before our reception. It really meant so much to Ben and I. If you're getting married soon and looking for the perfect officiant, Anthony was the best decision we made! Thank you so so much! Keep in touch, we're so happy we met you

sy to work with officiant? Look no further. We highly recommend him.

on share in our wedding. His professional and caring approach was so much more than we could have anticipated. He was eager to get to know us and was able to put our feelings for each other into words and in a way that made our wedding that much more special. We really want to thank him and Better Together Matrimonies for being there for us and helping make our wedding day so memorable and special.

ny and was professional and honoring. Anthony came as a referral and will be our referral to others as well.

spent with Anthony. Counseling was amazing, it helped us to understand our similarities and our differences and how to use those as benefits towards our marriage. We will be continuing counseling with Anthony for hopefully forever! Not a joke! He is our comfort zone now as well as our friend. Now when it came down to the wedding I couldn’t of asked for a better officiant. His words were very personal and kind and couldn’t of been more perfect. Our guest could not stop talking about what a great man he was and so very kind. Anthony definitely made our day so very special.

which was something we wanted. He went out of his way to not only get audio but video of our ceremony and no extra cost! He accommodated everything we needed even when we were making changes the day before. I am glad we chose Anthony for our officiant and would gladly recommend him to friends and family

sidering having someone from our family/friends officiate vs a professional. It was absolutely the right decision to have Anthony be such an important part of our wedding. From the start his enthusiasm and professionalism put us at ease. He was always supportive of our vision for the ceremony, but had the tools and experience to put it together seamlessly. Everyone we have talked to has been highly complimentary of his words at the ceremony: it was the perfect combination of personal, heartfelt, but also with enough light heartedness that made the ceremony feel more fun and engaging for us and our guests. Through the planning process he was always quickly responsive and happy to talk through things with us. We were also impressed at how well he was able to speak in a way that felt personal to our relationship, despite the fact that we only brought him on a couple months before our wedding! The whole ceremony fit us as a couple so well that several of our guests were asking us after how we knew Anthony (they assumed he had to be a friend or family member). Would absolutely recommend Anthony- he’s the best!

mediately when we first met with him. His warm,outgoing nature and his sense of humour made us feel welcome and comfortable. He took his time to talk to us and get to know us and our story. So when we came around to planning the ceremony with us, he very quickly tuned into what we wanted as well as giving us some great suggestions and advice. Throughout the whole process,from planning, to rehearsal, to the day of, Anthony has been flexible, accessible and just truly a friend to us. The ceremony was amazing! It was filled with words of wisdom,encouragement and humour,just like we wanted it to be. Many of our guests actually thought that Anthony was a long time friend of ours because the ceremony was so personal. We can’t thank Anthony enough for making our day so special!

n't take his/her job professionally or someone who was too over-the-top. I was so excited to find Better Together Matrimonies on Yelp. After reading through all of the reviews, I was hopeful that he would be the right match for us, but I wanted to be sure. Anthony met with us for a complimentary consultation and right away, my husband and I loved him. Anthony is real, humble, enthusiastic, likable and you can 100% tell how passionate he is about what he does. While he is involved in the church and I'm sure he would also be an excellent fit for religious ceremonies, he did not make us feel awkward or preach on us in any way when sharing his story that led him to where he is today. Anthony actually informed us during the consultation that his wife was currently in LABOR (OMG), which shows his commitment to his clients, even though I would have 1000000% rescheduled, had I known (esp being a mother myself). Any way, we knew we needed Anthony to be our officiant so we booked him! Anthony's assistant was very easy to coordinate with and the questionnaire they provided was simple to go through and choose our wording preferences for the ceremony. Any questions or changes we had, Better Together Matrimonies helped with no issues. When the big day arrived, Anthony showed up promptly, asked a few questions, held on to my vows book and delivered!! His personality shined through the ceremony and my guests absolutely loved him. I think Anthony has an incredible ability to "read" a couple, even having only truly met him for the hour consultation, he was able to fool our guests into thinking he was a personal friend of ours with some of the comments he had made during the ceremony, highlighting our personality traits and how we are to each other as a couple. I was also pleased to see selfies of Anthony with some of our other wedding vendors. Just knowing that he is friendly within the wedding industry and knows other vendors pretty well was icing on the cake for our decision to go with Better Together Matrimonies. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much to Anthony and his team!!!

fect. Thank you Anthony for making our day so unforgettable.

available to sit with us and talk about our dream ceremony but he was also available to answer our frantic questions when we went to get our marriage license. He definitely made us feel at ease and made us feel like we'd known each other for so long! It was truly felt like we had a friend giving our ceremony.

and then when it came to curtain time 9n the wedding day he performed flawlessly. He was a pleasure to work with we appreciate him greatly.

mmended Tom to officiate our wedding. Tom was amazing and our guests really loved the ceremony! Tom recited every detail we asked him to share about our readings and the ceremony was truly perfect! Tom even brought a copy of our vows to the ceremony, which was a life saver as my husband forgot to print out his own vows. Tom, thank you for our beautiful ceremony!

ighly recommend his services.

Z. They were both the inciteful, helpful officiates we needed to make our ceremony the beautiful experience it was. Thanks Guys!!

a ceremony easily yet was very personalized. He’s super easy to work with, very friendly, and also very responsive! There were no issues in any way and I’d definitely recommend him for anyone else looking for a minister for their wedding!

d Anthony and asked him if he could be " on call " for SUPERBOWL SUNDAY. Anthony waited the entire week for our response and 48 hours before our wedding was able to step in for us! We quickly were able to get on the phone with him and felt as though he had been our friend for years. It never felt like he was second best, honestly, it worked out EVEN BETTER! He understood our vision and was so friendly. After our ceremony he even hung out with some family and talked. I had multiple great comments on how awesome Anthony was! Thank you Anthony for making our special day perfect. (I'm sorry you couldn't watch the Super Bowl!!!)

excitedly agreed to marry us on our chosen day (less than a week in advance, mind you) and for a small price. Honestly one of the best people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting in my life. We are definitely asking him next year when we do our ceremony to do it again because we couldn't think of anyone better. Anthony is awesome!

g to work on his birthday to be there for us! I love that we have a copy of the ceremony in a word document so we always have the script. He is very well spoken and clear in his dictation. You will not have an issue making out his words/mumbling, sound, and he does not talk too fast. I let my husband do this part of the planning and he was so impressed with Anthony there were no other options to consider, once discovered. He customized our ceremony easily, without overwhelming us with too many options and he was passionate about his work. He takes his role seriously and understands he plays a part in making everything perfect. Our guests also had really good feedback/compliments for Anthony too. Book him and don't think twice about it! You have other things to worry about in the planning so make this the easiest thing to check off your list and trust this review, and the many other great reviews about him.

even offers counceling sessions for people to help stay married lol. So we put him to the test and he gave us a pre marital counceling session on the spot. After letting us vent to him he paid close attention (he seemed interested in what we had to get off our chests lol) and helped us come up with some ideas to better ourselves in these everyday life scenarios as a couple. We were convinced and hired him on the spot! The day of the wedding he had a beautiful presentation. The timing was perfect (not too long and boring)and had our audience’s attention drawn into us and we saw smiles which eased our spotlight to say our vows to each other. Couldn’t have asked for a better service from an officiant. Thank you Anthony! We will recommend you to whoever we can!

e and just an overall friendly person to be working with and made our wedding ceremony stress-free. He executed the ceremony flawlessly and many of our guests complimented his work to us after the wedding. Overall, we are extremely happy with the service we received from Anthony on our big day.

th every penny. Thank you Anthony for making our ceremony perfect!

with his professionalism and creativity. Anthony made our ceremony feel one of a kind and we wouldn't have gone with anyone else! Anthony kept the attention of all my guests, we are very pleased!

one of the best experiences we could have gone through with each other. We are both non-religious and Anthony placed no judgment. During our counseling sessions, Anthony sat back and listened to both of us, again placing no judgment but only helping us understand each others views and encouraging us to talk it through so we could come to an agreement. Anthony was there for our rehearsal (day before the wedding) and really went through the whole run down with us which made me feel COMPLETELY comfortable with how “the real day” would go. Our wedding day, BEST DAY EVER!!! Anthony was more amazing than I thought he could be...if that’s even possible. I had guests coming up to me after the ceremony asking for his name. Telling me he was the most amazing officiant they have ever seen. Thank you Anthony for EVERYTHING you have done for Kenny and I. We truly are so appreciative!!

ning and met Anthony at the Desert Botanical Gardens. We "picked" two witnesses from among the visitors at the Gardens and got married!! Anthony made our service extra special, he could tell we were excited and happy and conveyed that in the ceremony. I could not have picked a better person to officiate for us! Thank you Anthony for completing our day, it was the best day of our lives and we will remember it as the most perfect day!

Thank you so much!!!

s swept the crowd away. Everyone was begging to know more about Anthony by the end of the night. Do yourself a favor and check him out. The man is 100% professional, you won't be sorry and neither will your guests.

ld us "sure thing." Everyone told us how warm and comforting and welcoming he was after the ceremony ended and we were definitely pleased with the ceremony. Anthony is an amazing officiant that I would recommend to anyone searching for the perfect one!

ding he was professional, yet funny and personable, and absolutely nailed our ceremony. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant, thank you Anthony!!

sked for a better ceremony.

ny. Thank you so much for our wonderful day!!

e where we knew him from in our lives, and I had to tell them that we had only just met him for our wedding. The ceremony was heartfelt, and emotional, and there was no stress involved because he just made everything so easy. He has a way of just putting you at ease and helping you just focus on what the day is really about. He really made it the perfect day and celebration of us. There really is no one like him, so if you have the chance, get Anthony to be your officiate. I promise you will be so incredibly thankful that you did.

ceremony the day of the wedding. We are so so blessed to have been able to meet Anthony!

rocess a breeze from start to finish. On the day of the wedding he was there ahead of time prepared, dressed very professionally and ready to go. The day turned out to be really hot, so I greatly appreciated Anthony not drawing out the ceremony as well as incorporating funny little quips in regarding the heat/sun. It was exactly what we had asked for, personal, meaningful, but not a hour and a half long. Anthony also took care of submitting the marriage license for us in a highly prompt manner (we received the final paper work only a week and a half later). I would highly recommend him for any type of ceremony you are looking for.
