About
The greatest compliment I receive is when a guest comes up to me at the end of a ceremony, and asks me how long I’ve known them. Then they’re shocked when I tell them I’ve only known the happy couple for a few months. That’s when I’ve done my job right. One thing that allows me to stand out above the rest is attention to detail. When I work with a couple, I have them get to know me, and I take the time to get to know them. That way, their ceremony doesn’t just have a feeling of someone reading off a script. Their ceremony is all about them, and their story as a couple. I am careful to make sure every aspect of the wedding ceremony is exactly what the bride & groom want. This is why I say: “Ceremonies as unique as you.” I’m looking for couples who want to create a truly authentic ceremony. One they’ll be well-pleased with and their guests will absolutely enjoy. I love helping two people achieve their dream of marrying their soulmate. Being involved in such a wonderful event is a complete honor to me. No matter how many ceremonies I do, every one of them means something to me. I understand that couples have a variety of choices, and when they choose me... wow!

Ernie was exactly what we were looking for. We had an intimate wedding at the beach and he was perfect! Our pre-ceremony meeting didn’t give him a lot to go on as we weren’t really sure what we wanted, but he managed to put together a beautiful ceremony for us! I would recommend him in a heartbeat. :)

Details: Elopement • Christian • 20 guests or fewer • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal

Highly recommend EC Matrimony! From the very beginning, their communication was great. We initially worked with Ernie to find an officiant that best fit us and our wedding. He answered all our questions and sent over a ton of resources to help us find a ceremony that worked for us. Don Gloud was our officiant and he was amazing! We received so many compliments from our guests on how well he led the ceremony. Don and his wife Dodie sent us a pre-wedding checklist to make sure we got our marriage license on time and all the little details were taken care of. After the ceremony, they instructed us on how to complete the license and took care of mailing it in for us. They made the whole process so easy.

Very straightforward, made the wedding experience personal. Ernie was punctual, polite, and offered a great service. Got to know myself and I through a series of personal questions about how we met, what drew us together, etc to make the ceremony more personalized

FAQs

  • Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

    I loved doing my boss' ceremony. Her & her fiancé had an issue with a wedding officiant & were in a jam. She sought me out at my work & asked me if I could help (wedding was in less than 2 weeks). I took them both out for coffee, made sure everything they wanted in their ceremony & then told them to relax, I would take care of them. We had such a blast & they were grateful it worked out the way it did. I made that part of the wedding planning easy for them.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Make sure you have the ceremony you want. After all, it's your memory you're creating. Too many times I've seen people settle for less or do the ceremony somebody else forces on them. Make sure your officiant asks lots of questions.
