I have been a minister for the past 14 years, and during that time, I’ve had the honor of performing weddings throughout Washington State, Western Idaho, and Northern Oregon. Whether you're planning an intimate elopement or a large celebration, I’m here to help bring your vision to life. I believe that your wedding ceremony should be a true reflection of your love story, and I will work closely with you to ensure that every detail is meaningful, personal, and just the way you envision it for your special day.

A Portland native, and founder of EC Matrimony, Ernie has become an expert in all things weddings. Having recently stepped away from a career in Marketing/Public Relations, Ernie has taken his business from part-time to full-time in 2021 to help more couples realize their wedding dreams. Throughout his 18 years in the industry, and having performed over 3,000 weddings, it’s easy to see why he’s been featured in bridal magazines, national IG posts, and been featured in Huffington Post twice, and on realty TV. Add to that the dozens of national awards he’s won over the years, and you can tell why he’s in demand as a wedding officiant.

With my experience and adaptability, I'll help you create a warm, professional, and unique wedding ceremony. I'm dedicated to crafting a relaxed and joyful atmosphere that reflects your love story. I prioritize incorporating only the elements that hold deep meaning for you, ensuring your ceremony is a true reflection of your relationship and values.
