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.

Hello! My name is Kenneth Poirier, and I am honored to be your trusted wedding officiant based in the beautiful city of Portland, Oregon. With over 20 years of professional wedding experience, I have had the pleasure of crafting unforgettable weddings throughout the stunning landscapes of the Pacific Northwest.

Anthony is a licensed attorney who started officiating weddings in Oregon as a Judge (hence our company’s former name, The Wedding Judge). Matrimony Northwest has expanded in the 15 years since Anthony officiated his first wedding and has added two additional officiants—Emily and Henry. The three of them have officiated thousands of weddings in the Pacific Northwest in all different types of venues - back yards, courtrooms, coffee shops, beaches, mountain vistas, and more. Anthony is only the second person to have officiated a wedding in the Oregon State Capitol Building, and the only person to do so in modern times.

Hello, I’m Javier, a bilingual officiant who believes every love story is unique and deserves to be celebrated in a way that feels personal, genuine, and unforgettable. I’m incredibly lucky to do what I love- helping couples tell their stories through ceremonies that reflect who they are and what makes their relationship special. Whether you’re looking for traditional ceremony or something more unconventional, I’ll work with you to create a personalized experience that feels right for you. I approach every ceremony with the same excitement and dedication to make it a memorable occasion.

We believe your ceremony should be the most meaningful part of your wedding. Our officiants take time to get to know you and what matters most. We don’t use cookie-cutter scripts. We craft authentic, personal ceremonies that reflect your story and your love. We bring warmth, humor, and intention to every moment, creating a ceremony that feels natural and unforgettable. With 15 years of experience and thousands of five-star reviews, we know how to make your wedding feel better than it looks. T his is your story, told your way.

I can do your wedding vows in your home, my home (inside or outside), in a church, at one of our awesome NW beaches, on a mountain, at a lake, on a motorcycle, on a horse, or in a tree—if that's what you both want. I would be honored to be a part of your special day. I've been officiating for over 18 years now and have married over 1500 happy couples!

I’m passionate about working with diverse and interfaith couples who want their ceremonies to reflect who they are in full color. Love is not one-size-fits-all, and neither should be the moment you say “I do.” I collaborate to ensure your ceremony feels personal, flexible, and true to your hearts. Every ceremony I craft is designed to make couples feel seen, celebrated, and supported. Some include bilingual vows, English, Spanish, or Spanglish, so family feels included. Others honor traditions like arras, lazo, or unity candles. Still others create new rituals unique to their story. Let’s create a ceremony that reflects your unique love.

Vowed and Clear’s officiants have proudly helped couples across the globe celebrate their commitment. Whether joining from different cities or different continents, we help couples create a moment that’s both deeply personal and fully legal, all while honoring the belief that everyone deserves the right to marry the person they love.

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.

I offer officiant, planning, coordination and photography services. I have over 30 years experience in the wedding industry and have been in business since 2021. I love what I do. I became ordained in 2019 because I wanted to be the one that married my sister and brother-in-law.
