Matthew H Rothert

To officiate my friends wedding. This is how I began back in California over ten years ago. I loved doing it so much and it was very natural for me. One of my friends that I married was a wedding planner and she began recommending me to her clients. Since then I have officiated over 50 weddings and have more than 10 scheduled for this year.

I was born in Arkansas and as a kid we moved to Michigan, Connecticut and finally North Carolina. I went to Wheaton College near Chicago and after graduating lived in Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota. I moved to California and lived there for 20 years. About 5 years ago, my wife and our two sons moved to Tennessee.

I love being able to officiate weddings and The Monastery made it very easy.

I am open to all faiths. I have performed weddings for many different faiths incorporating the different traditions. Including Hinduism, Buddism, Judaism, Christianity and more. I am considered by many to be Spiritual but not religious.

I get to know the couple and like to include a bit about their love story into the ceremony. My ceremonies are meaningful and unique to each couple. I put the couples at ease by my presence. I work with the couple to make sure the ceremony is special to them and exactly what they are looking for.

I am located in the Nashville, Tn area. I have officiated weddings in California, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Turkey and France.

I am considered Spiritual, but not religious.
