Northeast Nuptials

njoyed our conversations with Fr. Matthew and loved how he pulled everything together into a beautiful and memorable ceremony. I would highly recommend.

tant. We wanted to incorporate our faith into our wedding ceremony without having to get married in a church and without all the components and long duration of a traditional Catholic wedding ceremony. Father Matthew was perfect for this! He incorporated the perfect mix of humor, religion, and tradition into our ceremony. We even got to personalize our ceremony by completing the “homework” he assigned us. You basically write a few paragraphs on how you and your significant other’s relationship developed and then you go through and pick which readings you would like during your ceremony. One of the top compliments we got about our wedding was how much everyone loved the priest! Father Matthew even gives you a copy of your ceremony so you can remember exactly what was read – a wonderful keepsake!

ate her wedding a few years ago and he honestly made such a good impression that day thag when I was planning my wedding I made sure I booked him as well. He not only does amazing at officiating, but his personality is incredible. Everyone at my wedding who was a guest in the crowd including my wedding party absolutely loved him. He made people laugh, but he also shows through his words how important the couple getting married is and how much thier love for one another is so special. He was definitely a wonderful person to have officiate out wedding. He makes sure to get to know the couple before hand, we also had him come the night before to our rehersal dinner which was great to practice before hand, and he always got back to me right away with any questions or concerns we had. Again having him at our wedding made the ceremony so special and we highly recommend you book him for your wedding.

ceremony to be exactly how you want it. We were able to create the ceremony that we chose, which allowed it to be more personal and meaningful to us. During the ceremony, when he was talking about my husband and I, it was like he had known us his whole life. Even to the point where we had guests come up to us after and ask which one of our friends he was. He was so engulfed in our relationship when he spoke that they didn't believe it when we said we found him on The Knot. Everything he said was so natural, like it wasn't written in the book in front of him. He was respectful and to the point, allowing us to finish our ceremony in less than 20 minutes. He was easy to get in touch with, despite having a full time Job during covid, and was so easy to talk to. Thank you!!

His 'homework' assignments to the couple make the ceremony more than just readings and passages strung together, he gets to know the couple personally, and can make his homily their story. He offers guidance and a selection of common building blocks to start from, but incorporated our personnel touches as well. We had a few last minute changes to the ceremony, and he got them in flawlessly. Watching Matthew process ahead of us, my best man commented to me, 'that is a man who has done this before'. At the altar, his natural enthusiasm made the ceremony a real celebration.

able to meet and book Matthew the same day. He was calm, light, funny, and very professional and the day of the wedding he was even better! My family raved about how great he was. Before the ceremony it was raining and I was so stressed they would move it inside, but we were luckily able to keep it outside. Matthew was able to redirect everyone to laugh about it, which broke the ice and started the ceremony off in a happy and relaxed manor. He spoke so clear, everyone was able to understand him and he kept the ceremony moving. It didn't drag on at all, everyone was hanging on his every word! He was perfect and we highly recommend him and his company!

in there too--making it more intimate. We really liked working with him!

d us made our ceremony just that much more special and personal by adding our story to it. Thank you Matt for helping us with the most important day of our lives!

onderful job of individualizing the ceremony to who my husband and I are as couple. We got so many compliments on the ceremony. So many of our wedding guests came up to us and my parents during the reception talking about how great Father Matthew was, and that is was the best ceremony they had ever been to. He was so easy to work with, and has done so many wedding ceremonies he put us completely at ease. Thanks to Father Matthew, I would not change a single thing about our wedding ceremony!

serious and entertaining (again, like we wanted it). He was very professional and pleasant to work with

all chapel wedding. Half of the guests were traditional practicing Catholics, and it was extremely meaningful that Fr. Matthew was able to validly marry us without being in a Catholic church. (Yes, it’s true!) But, it wasn’t just that perk that made our day. We were able to select the version of each part of our ceremony from a well-organized binder – it was extremely personalized to the point that we chose the words that he said and we said. We could make the ceremony as religious, spiritual, serious, or relaxed as we wanted. Plus, Fr. Matthew has a great sense of humor, which many of our guests fully appreciated. As a result, our ceremony was personalized, momentous yet relaxed, genuine, and humorous all at once. I will admit that Fr. Matthew is a very busy individual, so you have to be patient with communication. Northeast Nuptials offers a service not many couples can easily find! Fr. Matthew is extremely experienced; and, even though he only met us 6 months before our wedding, during the ceremony, it sounded like he truly knew us as a couple. I’d definitely recommend him as an officiant!

way to rave about how amazing the ceremony was, and Matthew's joyful presence. We highly recommend having Fr. Matthew marry you on your special day!

emony. The pre-wedding questionnaire allows you to tailor the ceremony to your exact preferences and describe your relationship. Our guests were so impressed by his warm personality and funny jokes- I highly recommend Fr Matthew!

a religious wedding ceremony outside of a formal church setting. We chose Father Matthew as our officiant after meeting with him and realizing not only that he is an expert at what he does, but also that he truly enjoys helping couples get married and views his work as a vocational calling. He is fun to be around and also very knowledgeable; he made us feel like we were in good hands throughout the planning of the ceremony. He brings a smile and a sense of humor that is perfectly balanced by the solemnity of the occasion and his command of the audience. He did an excellent job of crafting a homily that was unique to Edward and I as a couple, and this was possible because he takes the time to get to know the people for whom he officiates ceremonies. He provided us with an extensive collection of readings and selections with which we crafted our own wedding ceremony, and he also made sure to be present at our wedding rehearsal the day before the wedding to put us at ease that the ceremony would proceed smoothly. He has perfect command of the audience, is an excellent public speaker, and he intuitively grasps the feelings of those around him. I would strongly recommend him to those who want a religious ceremony, and can honestly say that I have no critiques of the job he did for us.

nsight into the whole ceremony process throughout the planning stages. Our ceremony was tailored to the two of us wonderfully and all of our guests were engaged and impressed. He surpassed our highest expectations.

at personal touch as well. He really gets to know who you are individually and as a couple. Tons of our guests were complementing how great he was and said how much they loved the ceremony. Matthew is very professional but also keeps it lighthearted which was an absolutely perfect fit for our day. We looked at many officiants and couldn't be happier with our choice, thank you for a perfect wedding!!

ed all about the "old school priests". I was sold and so was my mom. He was great to work with and had so many different options for the ceremony. Every guest that I have spoken to told us how much they loved the ceremony. It was about 20 minutes and Matt had everyone laughing, crying, and awwwing the whole time. It was personal but quick. We loved it and couldn't ask for better. We have some great photos of us laughing. We each had to answer a few questions about ourselves and our relationship that were included in the ceremony. It was a perfect fit and gave everyone more of a glimpse into our relationship. We are so happy my mom made me search high and low because Matt was the best addition to our day.

in order to meet and learn personalities which meant a lot to the both of us. Northeast nuptials provides a workbook to choose the wording of your ceremony and ability to add personal touches as well. Our guests had wonderful things to say regarding Father Matthew and our ceremony. His personality is fun and really set us at ease on our big day! There were times it was difficult to get in contact, with waiting a few days to hear back however everything turned out great and couldn't ask for a better ceremony!

nected and engaged throughout our entire ceremony and everyone has just raved about him since our special day! I feel so fortunate to have had him be apart of this journey and it is truly inspiring to have been able to do a Catholic Sacramental ceremony outside of the church and in a beautiful vineyard. Fr. Matthew is smooth as butta when transitioning to each part of the ceremony and his homily was personal and made us feel like he truly believed in our relationship and this next step of marriage. You can tell this is not just a job for him, he puts his heart into it and makes you feel like a friend or family. Bonus is if you want your ceremony done in Family Guys "Stewie" voice, this is your guy! My husband insisted we do that, but we'll leave that to a more daring couple :) Stephanie & Kris Cook

t. The ceremony was beautiful. It wasn't long, but it was very meaningful. Fr. Matthew made us laugh and made us (ok, me...) cry. He kept things light when he could and spoke with conviction where he was supposed to. We highly recommend this service as well as Fr. Matthew as an officiant.

lor it to who they are. It made our ceremony so much more special to have it made specially for us.

ailable and it was so refreshing to find someone who can tailor your ceremony to your unique beliefs. I grew up catholic but did not want a full mass ceremony. Matthew and Northeast Nuptials gave us so many beautiful selections to pick from for each part of the ceremony and were more than accommodating to adding things in. Matthew made everyone laugh and cry. I will remember every word of our ceremony.

seriousness. He was so bubbly and energetic and that was great. Writing our own ceremony from his book was a lot of fun, and really helped make the ceremony ours. He was game to do anything that we asked, including taking a very cool picture with two stuffed animals! :) The pre-meetings we had with him where great, and you could tell he really wanted to get to know the two of us before doing our ceremony, which was very nice. He was amazing and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a minister who is willing to do a not overly religious ceremony!

vision for our outdoor ceremony and made it the perfect day! He met with us before hand and incorporated who we are as individuals and as a couple into the ceremony. The whole ceremony spoke to who we are, and was not at all cookie cutter! Deacon Joe will forever hold a place in our hearts! HIghly recommend using him and Northeast Nuptials!

o our liking, down to the very last words. It was very helpful to follow a guideline but also have the flexibility to choose our own elements and vows.

s quick to reply to questions and was very patient as we worked on our personal contributions to the ceremony. On the day of the wedding, he did a great job at putting both myself and the groom at ease during the ceremony. Matt does a great job of making you feel like the most important bride and groom he has ever married. Northeast Nuptials was able to give me a religious ceremony that was completely personalized in my outdoor venue. Their level of flexibility simply cannot be beat. I would highly recommend them.

ars later, (totally unexpectedly) I found myself in need of a wedding officiate! I remembered Father Matthew, got his information and contacted him. I am so pleased to say that our meeting with Father Matthew outlining our needs and wishes surpassed our expectations. This was a second marriage for us and we were pleased at how easy he was to talk with. It was important to Father Matthew to know what we needed, wanted, and felt was important in our service. He came prepared with a marriage guide he had created that allowed us to chose readings, wording of the ceremony, musical interludes, and much to our surprise and joy, he actually used the information in our ceremony making it both spiritual and special for all of us. Saying Father Matthew exceeded our expectations is an understatement. He made us feel very special with his demeanor, eloquent presentation, and our guests expressed their joy and happiness with the meaning Father Matthew brought to our ceremony. When it was all said and done, we could not thank him enough expect to give him an A++!. Sincerely, Robert and Gayle Gobin

s and options but at the same time let you mold it to what you really want. It was a perfect mix of guidance and freedom to make our own decisions. Thank you so much for a wonderful day and everlasting memories!
