EC Matrimony - wedding officiant and celebrant - Beaverton, Oregon

Andrey S.

Ernie officiated our marriage ceremony on September 1, 2022, and he was incredible to work with.

First, he was very communicative via email and text. He took the time to discuss our wedding over the phone, educating us on different nuances, like handfasting, and walked us through what to expect on the big day step by step.

He also prepared a wedding script for us to follow during the ceremony and sent it to us in advance.

Lastly, he was open to our suggestions about the wedding location (the beautiful Jenkins Estate) and arrived there on time.

Even though it was a small reception, Ernie, being a popular choice in the area, still agreed to participate and made us feel well cared for.

We wholeheartedly recommend hiring Ernie for your wedding, big or small. His attention to detail and exceptional oratory skills will undoubtedly make your day even more special.

We used EC Matrimony for our wedding October 2024 and were incredibly pleased with everything! Ernie was extremely helpful in getting us setup. Our officiant, Don Gloud, took over from there and he was absolutely wonderful. Don met with us in-person at his church and offered pre + post marital counseling if needed. Not to mention, Don’s wife Dodie was also really helpful and wonderful to be around. We are suggesting them to anyone we know who needs an officiant or is looking for a church community to be a part of (:

Pro tip: if you want them to be able to be at your wedding for the reception, book way in advance! We dropped the ball on this and they weren’t able to stay and celebrate (everyone wanted them stay 🥲) !

Ernie did an amazing job as our officiant. We had some quirky requests, but he rolled with our flow, followed our lead and also guided us smoothly through the pre, during and post wedding activities. He had a happy spirit and a kindness that made us feel like we had the perfect person guiding us in the beginning of our marriage. You’ll love him!

We had the most amazing experience with Ernie. From the first phone call, to the sit down, to our Wedding. I’m so thankful we found Ernie and had him there for our special day. The most professional, well put together, calming man we could have ever asked for. He blew past all our expectations and made our day that much more special.

Ernie was amazing! If you’re looking for an outstanding wedding officiant - he is the guy! He holds a 1:1 meeting with you to learn your story, and then creates your own unique story to tell during your ceremony. He is very flexible and is open to any request thrown his way. Very knowledgeable and personable. All of our guests were extremely pleased. Thank you, Ernie!
