“At first I was super excited when asked to officiate for my sister and her fiancé. What an honor! But then reality set in that I had no idea what I was doing. After getting ordained online I found Matt and felt instantly better after opening his stuff, and the wedding went great!”

Wedding officiant training questions

What does the wedding officiant training include?

The training walks through every part of the ceremony on video, so you see and hear exactly how each welcome, reading, vow, and pronouncement should sound. It also includes the voice inflection cheat sheets and a record yourself approach, so you can practice your delivery and walk in sounding natural and confident.

Is the training video, audio, or both?

Both. Matt performs each section on camera so you can watch the timing, pacing, and expression, and the newest pieces include audio too. You’re never guessing how a line should land, because you can hear it first.

What are the voice inflection cheat sheets?

They’re condensed versions of each script with the key words underlined, so you know where to add emphasis and where to pause. You can keep your place when you look up at the couple and back down at the page, which keeps your delivery smooth on the day.

Can I watch the training on my phone, and how long do I have access?

Yes. The training streams in your customer portal on any device, so you can review it on your phone the morning of the wedding if you want. Your access lasts a full year from purchase, so you can revisit it as often as you need.

Is the training only for beginners, or useful for experienced officiants too?

Both. First time officiants lean on it to build confidence quickly, and experienced officiants use it to sharpen pacing, delivery, and the small touches that make a ceremony memorable. Either way, you’re learning from someone who has performed over a thousand weddings.
