Matthew Harbin was a pleasure to work with. My husband and I aren’t great with our words, but Matthew made the process of writing our vows so seamless, and we loved that he helped personalize it to our story. Thank you, Matthew, for being a part of our special day. June 2024
Matthew Harbin officiated our wedding in Niagara Falls, ON, last weekend. We are so very glad we chose him. He is a gem; he is very personable, funny, and down to earth. He customized our wedding ceremony based on who we were and took the time to get to know us. He really touched on the points we asked him to and emphasized what was important to us. He hyped up our audience when necessary and was a true professional the entire time. My husband and I would absolutely recommend him for your wedding! June 2024
Simple and easy. The ceremony was short and sweet, and I married my best friend! Everything was great! We couldn't have asked for a better officiant. Matthew was exceptional from start to finish. His kindness and warmth immediately put us at ease during the planning process, which was seamless thanks to his flexibility and willingness to let us design the ceremony exactly how we wanted it. Matthew's quick responses to our emails and his accommodating nature made the entire experience stress-free. During the ceremony, everyone could easily hear him, and his delivery was flawless, adding a special touch to our momentous occasion. Without hesitation, we would 100% recommend Matthew to anyone looking for an officiant who not only delivers a beautiful ceremony but also goes above and beyond to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Thank you, Matthew, for making our day truly unforgettable! March 2024

Matt Harbin did a wonderful job as our officiant. He was very easy to work with prior to the ceremony and presented us with many options and ideas to customize our special day, as well as allowing us to make custom requests. He asked us beforehand if we were feeling nervous and if he could help ease the pressure, and thank goodness he asked because on our big day we were both nervous! He was able to pull us both back into the moment and guide us through our vows and the ceremony. All of our guests raved about him afterwards; he was certainly the best officiant we have both ever seen. If you are looking for an officiant in the Golden Horseshoe area, you will be pressed to find anyone more professional, welcoming, and charismatic than Matt. January 2024
It was so helpful to see Matthew’s video, and reviews, which gave us comfort in selecting him. We couldn’t be happier with how everything went, the ceremony was perfect, and something we’ll remember forever! Matthew was the perfect officiant for us, his delivery and poise really helped us. The advice and tips Matthew gave were fantastic, and we really appreciated the way that he embraced our request or adding a family member to deliver parts of the ceremony, and worked with him to make it such a beautiful ceremony. Matthew is a pure professional at this, and we’re glad we took him up on a rehearsal as well, which was very helpful. We feel very grateful for this service that allowed us to have Matthew perform our ceremony, and couldn’t be happier! The draft documents Matthew sent to help build our ceremony were great.

Matthew was fantastic to work with and a crucial part of making our wedding day perfect. The entire process of planning our ceremony was easy and stress free, which was very relaxing in the midst of hectic wedding planning. He led our rehearsal before the event and was so helpful in easing any concerns/nerves we had the day before the big event. On wedding day, the ceremony was delivered beautifully and our friends and family couldn't stop commenting on how great he was. Thank you so much Matthew! October 2023
Matthew Harbin is an amazing man to work with on such an important day in one's life. My wife and I had the pleasure to have Matthew guide us during this exciting time.

We feel blessed to have had him there and can confidently say that others will feel the exact same! Thank you, Matthew!
Matthew Harbin was so incredible to work with! He was very fast to answer any and all of our questions during the wedding planning process. Matthew was very knowledgable, reliable, and reassuring.

Thank you so much Matthew! August 2023
Matthew [Harbin] was organized and efficient with walking us through the ceremony process. Matthew's passion for being an officiant is easily shown through his dedication and meaningful words. The day of, I had so many last minute worries to attend to; however, not one moment did I worry about the ceremony. Matthew was early, and made sure it was perfect. June 2023

This review is for Matthew Harbin who was the officiant for our ceremony at Two Sisters Vineyard in Niagara on the Lake. Where to even begin with Matthew... he was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. When we started the process of looking for an officiant, we didn’t quite know what we were looking for... however when we met with Matthew via video chat, and began talking to him about our vision for the day and his philosophy and style of officiating, we knew we had found the perfect person. Matthew guided us through the entire process from start to finish and, beyond delivering a great ceremony the day of, was incredible in guiding us in advance as to what to expect the day of, deadlines to hit and expect pre/post wedding, and generally any other questions we had. Any time we had a question about anything, he got back to us prompt with everything answered in full. In regards to the ceremony itself, following a few brief video chats Matthew was able to put together a ceremony that off the bat felt almost perfect. It almost felt too easy and like he knew us for years prior. The writings and readings felt truly us, and captured the emotion and feeling we wanted for the event perfectly. We met once in person to finalize, and really that was it. He made it super easy and, most importantly, on the day of he delivered it exactly as we hoped. We had more than a few people come up to us and compliment us on what a perfect service it was... and that was all Matthews doing. I would not hesitate to recommend Matthew to anyone looking for an excellent officiant whether in NOTL or further beyond. He truly was amazing, and we're so thankful to him for making the start of our big day so perfect. Sept 2022
Matthew Harbin was great and everybody attending loved his service! Thank you for all you do! June 2022
My husband and I could not be happier with our choice of having Matthew Harbin create and officiate our wedding ceremony! Throughout the entire process we felt supported in bringing our vision to life. Matthew was extremely organized and could answer any questions we had. Our guests in attendance sang his praises all night long. They noted not only his beautiful words, but the voice in which he delivered them. We highly recommend Matthew to any couple planning their big day! Thanks again! July 2022
Matt Harbin was an absolute pleasure to work with. Extremely personable, funny, professional, punctual, and confident with speaking to our audience. Many of our guests came up to us doing the reception asking about him and complimenting what a wonderful job he did. We decided to go with a reading written by Matt himself about love where he incorporates all different popular love songs- this made our ceremony different and everyone loved it as it grabbed their attention when hearing lyrics of known songs. Matt, we want to give you a huge thank you & we will be sending all our friends and family members getting married in the future to you! Thanks again! May 2022
We are so grateful that we chose Matthew Harbin as our officiant. Matthew truly took the time to get to know us and made a beautiful and personalized ceremony based on our story. He did a great job during the rehearsal by organizing and preparing our family for the big day. He is amazing at what he does and he really helped make our day special. Feb 2022
Matthew Hardin officiated two ceremonies for my wife and I. The first was a small backyard ceremony with only 5 people, a far cry from what was originally planned but all that was allowed with Covid restrictions at the time. Finally we got to have the larger family wedding over a year later. Matt was fantastic at both and spoke beautifully to the challenges and trials in getting to that day. Many guests assumed he was a close friend we had known for years. With the bride tripping coming up to the alter, cell phones ringing at the ceremony and air guns going off (farmers fields nearby), Matt ad-libbed some great jokes and one liners that kept everything light and charming.

Matthew Harbin did a great job! They say getting married is one of the 3 most stressful things in life - well it is! But thanks to Matthew and All Seasons it was made easy and there was no fuss over any hiccups along the way. We loved how flexible they are, how supportive and professional Matthew was while still being very personable, warm and involved in our special occasion and how it allowed us to create the perfect ceremony for us. Matthew performed the ceremony with sincerity and integrity and made us feel relaxed, special and incredibly happy and created memories we will never forget. On a practical level the service we received from all was efficient, professional, clear and we had confidence that there would be no issues at any stage. Well done and keep up the fantastic work.
