She worked to not only marry…read moreus on short notice, but she allowed us to change the location within 24 hours -- very short notice!! In addition, Susan provided witnesses to us who were as equally friendly and accommodating. Susan delivered a beautiful and thoughtful ceremony that felt surprisingly personal and heartfelt. Both of us cried like babies. It was poetic and moving. She even emailed us a copy of the ceremony language so that we could have our own copy to remember the beautiful ceremony for years to come. She took pictures of us and sent them to us the next day. Susan is a class-act. We would recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant. She exceeded all of our expectations. We can't speak highly enough of her. Thank you so much, Susan!

Ernie Claeson was exceptional as our wedding officiant for our August 30th wedding at Rocky Hill…read moreEvents in White Salmon. From our very first call with him, we felt a warmth and kindness that put us at ease and made our decision to hire him so clear and easy to make. Ernie was organized, communicative, punctual, and on top of everything leading up to our wedding. On the wedding day, he delivered a heartfelt ceremony and message that resonated with us as the couple and our families. Our planning meeting in his office in Beaverton was so helpful and detailed. He asked a lot of questions and really sought to better understand us as people and as a couple. He really captured our story in the ceremony script and allowed us to shine on such an important day. He was a calming presence and voice, and you can tell he truly loves his job and cares about working with his couples. Would 10/10 recommend him and we want to sincerely thank Ernie and EC Matrimony for giving us the wedding ceremony of our dreams!

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

The only reason this business is getting the second star is for the price. Unfortunately you get…read morewhat you pay for. We opted to have rev. Luke perform our wedding ceremony and asked for a traditional ceremony. The "traditional vows" he wanted to read were so cheesy and we had never heard them before. We requested our own vows (which apparently messed him up). The entire time he was reading off a giant clipboard and shuffling papers around, he began by using the incorrect names, and stuttered over every word-even mixing half sentences together and during the prayer, which he also read, he butchered all the words and made it sound horrendous. When it came to our sand ceremony we wanted to include our one year old and use the sand to signify our family unity which was specified weeks before. He read off the typical unity spiel about God and the husband and wife coming together as one. All in all, we would recommend you look elsewhere if you're looking for a professional or even someone who has done this before. It is obvious that he does not know what he is doing.
