contents We derive an asymptotic expansion for off-diagonal coherent-state matrix elements of non-polynomial operators in gauge theories admitting holomorphic coherent-state representations. The derivation combines stationary-phase analysis with an operator-level treatment of the Taylor remainder, and yields explicit semiclassical error control under stated assumptions. As a primary application, we formulate the expansion for volume and flux related operators in Loop Quantum Gravity and compare it with the standard diagonal expansion proposed in arXiv:gr-qc/0607101. By organizing the expansion around the genuine off-diagonal Berezin symbol rather than a diagonal expectation value, the resulting formula preserves the full holomorphic structure of the geometric phase and reproduces benchmark matrix elements accurately in the numerical regimes tested here, particularly when the coherent-state labels are well separated.
