About
I am a wedding officiant based in Chantilly, Virginia, serving Northern Virginia. I have a master's in theology and am an ordained pastor. I have a lot of experience working with crowds from my over 15-year career as a public speaker and actor. I am a proud member of the Screen Actors Guild. I was born in England and moved to the USA 16 years ago but still have a strong British accent which would make your ceremony a little more unique sounding! As a pastor, I specialize in Christian weddings and would love to work with you to make your day a special and God-honoring one for you and your new spouse and to be honoring to your family members. I am available for ceremonies of varying lengths and styles. I would be delighted to lead your ceremony from start to finish or help you and your loved ones be involved. Consultations are important to come up with a ceremony that is meaningful and memorable. I will provide you with an order of service ahead of your big day to ensure everything is as you imagined. Matt Sims Officiant is licensed to officiate weddings in Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia and DC,

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review We couldn’t have asked for a better pastor to officiate our elopement ceremony. From start to finish, he was incredibly professional, prompt, and on time — which helped make everything go so smoothly. He connected effortlessly with everyone who attended, creating such a warm and joyful atmosphere. One thing that truly stood out was his accent — it added such a beautiful and unique touch to the ceremony. My wife has always loved the British accent, and having that be part of such an intimate and meaningful moment made it even more special for both of us. We’re so grateful for how he carried himself with grace, kindness, and authenticity. If you’re looking for someone who’s professional yet personable, and who brings both class and warmth to your ceremony, I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Pastor Matt was very responsive and was able to connect with my clients to conduct their private vow exchange prior to their wedding ceremony. He was punctual, patient, and extremely kind. He took communicated well with the couple, and ensured the couple had all of the necessary post ceremony information. Thank you again, Pastor Matt for making this process seamless and enjoyable for the myself as the wedding planner, and the couple. Highly recommend!

Pastor Matt was such a special part of our elopement! He provided suggestions on where we should have the ceremony, walked us through logistics and administrative paperwork as well as provided some beautiful passages for us to choose from. He also said the most beautiful prayer to wish us well! Such an easy going and nice man as well- highly recommend him for anyone! Amy + Matt
