    A Flawless Ceremony and an AMAZING Officiant!

    We were incredibly fortunate to have Pastor Matt as our wedding officiant, and we cannot express enough how much we adore him. It's safe to say that our special day would not have been the same without him. From the initial planning stages to the wedding day itself, Pastor Matt exceeded all our expectations. Both our families were impressed by his warm and genuine demeanor, and they couldn't stop singing his praises. In fact, many of our guests commented on how great he was, praising his sincerity and the way he conducted the ceremony with grace and elegance. He is undoubtedly an amazing person who radiates kindness and compassion. In addition to officiating our wedding, we had the privilege of undergoing marriage counseling with Pastor Matt. This experience was invaluable to us as a couple. He provided us with tools and insights that will strengthen our marriage. His patience and wisdom made us feel comfortable discussing even the most challenging topics, and we are grateful for the foundation he helped us build. We cannot thank Pastor Matt enough for the role he played in making our wedding day a truly unforgettable and beautiful experience.

    Thanks Nicole. It was an honor to be a part of your special day! I was so grateful for the privilege of joining you and Trevor in marriage and it was a beautiful day and a wonderful celebration.

    Efficient Officiant (Friend)

    Valuable, Respectful, Relatable, Responsive, and Efficient are just some of the words I would use to describe Pastor Matt. It started when I was looking for an officiant for our wedding in Indiana. I came across (thanks Internet) Pastor Matt after I found out that he was willing to meet our criteria of officiant services and premarital counseling. I immediately contacted him, was greeted by a friendly face, and his prompt acceptance of our request to use his officiant and premarital counseling services. We had the privilege of meeting him first at a coffee shop in Indianapolis in April 2023 and the friendly face matched the friendly personality. We felt an instant connection as we laughed with him through the conversation of how things would go at the wedding. The subsequent weeks were when the (4) virtual premarital counseling sessions took place. They were filled again with connection, laughter, and valuable and insightful advice. Then came time for the wedding weekend in Indianapolis in August 2023 where he showed up on time for everything in spite of his own personal setbacks. This was very helpful for me since I was put in charge of hiring his services and because of the stress that weddings bring. When he showed up for the wedding rehearsal, we greeted each other with hugs because we felt as if, at this point, he was a lifelong friend. The wedding rehearsal was beyond successful. Then came the actual wedding where he again, showed up on time. I remember feeling confident in the foundation of my marriage when he came to visit the groom's suite prior to the wedding's start, him visiting was appreciated. Along with his professionalism, the wedding was a memorable experience. He officiated our wedding, and blessed the food at the reception. We are THANKFUL that Pastor Matt prepared for and was a part of our wedding! Furthermore, he loves God and loves people. If you need an officiant as well as a friend, you've found him: Pastor Matt Skiles! SIDENOTE: I've tried to get to the point as soon as possible however, I needed to provide background. I felt that I needed to go into as much depth and specificity as possible because Pastor Matt deserves it. THIS was something that I was able to connect with Pastor Matt over, how we both give background and need to get better at being like our wives and get to the point! LOL

    We had a fantastic experience working with Pastor Matt!

    We are so glad that we had Pastor Matt officiate our wedding! From the very beginning, he was professional, kind, and knowledgeable. We chose to do four pre-marital counseling sessions with Pastor Matt prior to our wedding. He made us feel comfortable as we discussed our relationship, marriage, and future.

    We also chose to have Pastor Matt attend our wedding rehearsal. During the walk-through, he took charge and did an excellent job of explaining everything and helping it to run smoothly. He paid careful attention to detail, even telling the groomsmen how to position their hands and the bridesmaids where to hold their bouquets.

    On the day of the wedding Pastor Matt was a calming voice and again helped to ensure that everything ran smoothly. He was well-spoken during the ceremony, and we received so many compliments from our guests on what a nice job he did!

    Amazing experience!

    Pastor Matt was so great to work with!! My husband Scott and I did the premarital counseling with him over zoom as we live out of state and he was so flexible with the time change and our schedules. We loved working with him and getting to know him (and allowing him to get to know us) before our big day. He also came to and ran our rehearsal at the venue as well. He was extremely helpful with the ceremony process and helped us create the ceremony of our dreams. All in all, we would highly recommend Pastor Matt! He made us feel comfortable (even went along with our jokes and goofiness), was always punctual, professional, extremely helpful and considerate. Amazing experience working with him and we hope to keep in touch! Thank you, Pastor Matt!!!

    Rev. Matt Skiles's reply:

    Thanks Erika! I appreciate your kind words and sentiments. Give my best to Scott and of course Hank and God bless you both!

    better than i could have imagined

    when looking online to find someone to marry us, i thought, "oh no this is gonna be weird". but matt from our first meeting made us feel reassured and supported. we also did a four session premarital counseling which was laid back but also made us think about a few things we hadnt thought of before. the day of the wedding matt was prepared, professional, fun and really just a participant of the wedding. we were very pleased and formed a great relationship along the way.

    Rev. Matt Skiles's reply:

    Thanks Ivana. It was great working with you and Dillon. Blessings to you both and thanks again for your kind words.

    Absolutely Perfect

    My husband and I were doing a simple vow renewal just us, our kids and my parents. Pastor Skiles made it better than our first wedding. My husband and I both were in tears, the ceremony he wrote for us was so personable and fit us so perfectly, it was inclusive, romantic and just so genuine it was so much better than I could have asked for. I only wish I knew about him the first time we got married because he is so much better than perfect!

    Rev. Matt Skiles's reply:

    Thank you for such a wonderful review and for your kind words. Blessings to you and Jason and your famliy.

    Great Officiant!

    We hired Pastor Matt for our October 2021 wedding, and are so thankful for the time we spent getting to know him! We chose to do the pre-marital counseling, and Matt was easy to schedule with and very flexible with our schedule. He had great communication leading up to our big day, and executed our ceremony perfectly. We are thankful we chose to go with Pastor Matt and highly recommend any couple looking for an officiant to use him!

    Rev. Matt Skiles's reply:

    Thank you so much Katie! It was a pleasure working with you and Tyler. Blessings to you both in 2022.

    Pastor Matt

    Pastor Matt did an excellent job with our wedding ceremony. He also was a great resource and teacher as we prepared for our marriage. My wife and I highly recommend Pastor Matt. Throughout the entire experience, Pastor Matt was professional, energetic, and truly cares to make a couple’s day special!

    Best Day Ever

    Matt was phenomenal to work with. He brings a thoughtful, methodical approach and with his experience, no detail is overlooked.

    He was open and willing to give us creative control with a truly customized ceremony and he was a great fit with the rest of our wedding team.

    He came recommended and in true small-world fashion, he happened to be the officiant for one of our neighbors too. He was the perfect fit for us and I’m confident he’ll be the right choice for others as well.

    Rev. Matt Skiles's reply:

    Thanks Matt. It was truly an honor to be a part of your and Jamie's special day. Best wishes to you both and your wonderful family.

    Great Officiant!

    Working with Pastor Matt for our wedding was one of the best choices my husband and I made! He was very professional, fairly priced, and offered great advice and guidance. We chose to use his premarital counseling services leading up to the wedding as well, and we are so happy with that choice. My husband and I gained a lot of knowledge about each other through the counseling sessions, and we got to know Pastor Matt before our wedding day so it felt more personal having him marry us. He also offers templates to help you choose your wedding vows which was very helpful as that can be pretty overwhelming. He did an amazing job with our ceremony and we even had guests complimenting how well spoken he was. He also gave a beautiful blessing before dinner. If we had to do it all over again, we would choose Pastor Matt in a heartbeat!

    Just the guy we were looking for!

    Since neither my husband nor I had a church we were both members of, we needed both a pastor and a marriage councelor for our wedding. Matt was very flexible for both our meeting places and times for our counceling sessions. He asks the hard questions to be sure your relationship is built on a strong foundation. Matt also has plenty of experience with multicultural weddings and is more than willing to work with you to make your ceremony unique to the both of you. His positive outlook on life and down to earth mentality made him just the kind of person we wanted to work with for our wedding. Pastor Matt is a great guy with plenty of great stories to tell, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who needs a wedding officiant!

    We love Pastor Skiles!

    Pastor Skiles was very warm and welcoming! We did our premarital counseling with him as well and benefited greatly! He was able to bring humor and lightness into some tough topics. He was quick with responses and accommodating with our wacky family and special requests! We would highly recommend to family and friends!

    Don't look any further - He's your guy!

    Pastor Matt was amazing to work with! We crafted our ceremony exactly to our specifications and Pastor Matt had over 20+ examples to pull from. We ultimately created the ceremony of our dreams and Pastor Matt delivered it perfectly! He was very responsive and super friendly to work with, as almost we had always known him! Everything at the ceremony and day of went exactly as planned and our ceremony was one that I will never forget. We highly recommend Pastor Matt!

    Well prepared and Personable :)

    Pastor Skiles was very personable and made an attempt to get to know us as a couple prior to performing our ceremony. He had several templates for the ceremony and vows that made it simple for us to organize our day.

    We highly recommend him!

    Humble with a great sense of humor

    I cannot express enough how thankful we were to find Rev. Matt Skiles to officiate our wedding. The first time we met with Matt he was very easy to talk with and made us feel comfortable with his humble spirit and great sense of humor. He was very easy to work with and supported us in any way he could. I highly recommend Matt Skiles for anyone who is getting married. He is one of a kind!

    Amazing and Very Professional

    We had the most wonderful time getting to know Rev. Skiles. He took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple. The marriage counseling was included with the total price and he was always prepared and helped us begin to understand each other by asking questions and telling us stories about his marriage and life experiences. Rev. Skiles was very fun to be around and our families told us that he did an amazing job!

    Absolutely Amazing

    Pastor Matt was INCREDIBLE and I cannot say enough amazing things about him. He was so helpful in coming up with our ceremony and making sure that we included everything we wanted. Both of our families said so many nice things about him. His pre-marital counseling sessions were extremely beneficial and definitely helped my husband and I look at our marriage differently. Thank you again Pastor Matt for everything!

    Happier than words could ever say!

    Pastor Matt made us feel extremely comfortable and at ease from the very beginning. It felt as if Pastor Matt had known as our entire lives. He is an extremely kind and jovial man. He genuinely cares about the union of your marriage and making sure he performs a ceremony that is exactly what you want and a celebration of the two of you. He was extremely helpful in the ceremony process and sent over several scripted examples of how the ceremony could go. Both sides of our family just love Pastor Matt. He is such a wonderful man and did a fantastic job, I’ll never be able to thank him enough for it!
