    As a bridesmaid and longtime friend of the couple, I was truly moved by Matt's heartfelt, concise, and eloquent officiating of the wedding ceremony. Matt was extremely prepared and spoke passionately - determined to deliver a meaningful service. He spoke from the heart, having memorized his speech, and his words deeply touched both the couple and the audience. Everything about Matt's performance was beautiful and moving, as he seamlessly tied in so many aspects of the couple's relationship and the love they share. I would highly recommend Matt Kovatchis Speaks as a wedding officiant any day!
