Services Offered

Typically occasions presided over by Pastor Marcus last anywhere between 20 and 40 minutes which allows you ample time to enjoy the event you have long dreamed about. He strives to collaborate with you to build the experience you had hoped for. A consultation is the first key part of the process as it opens up a two-way conversation between him and you. As you enjoy personalizing the ceremony in the lead-up, the dialogue continues as support is constantly available via text and email.

A rehearsal offers the wedding party the chance to become familiar with the layout and timeline. Marcus ensures that everyone knows exactly what they are doing and feels comfortable on the wedding day.

On that special day, Pastor Marcus leads the way as you are officially joined in union as newlyweds. He arrives early to make sure everyone is prepared, and leaves only when everything is in order. Pastor Marcus also takes the marriage license and takes a picture of him mailing it to Vital Statistics and texts it to you so you don't have to worry about getting your marriage certificate as you head to your honeymoon!

Premarital counseling is also available for those who would like to spend some quality time preparing for their lives together. PREPARE/ENRICH is the program used and it covers such relational topics as finances, sexuality, spirituality, parenting, etc. More than 3 million couples have taken this program and it is highly recommended for couples wanting to not just have a great wedding, but even more, a great marriage!

Absolute dream ceremony

Marcus was an absolute gem to work with, he was very personable, calming and made our ceremony a complete dream, and even reminded us to soak in the moment which we are both so grateful for!! Marcus was so personable that one of our guests thought he was a family friend when in fact we only met the day prior and previously over zoom (due to Covid lockdown). My husband and I are so happy with our wedding ceremony and would highly recommend Marcus to any of our friends or loved ones!

Wonderful Experience with Pastor Marcus

Our experience with Marcus was amazing! He was very responsive and always answered any questions we had no matter what time of days. Leading up to our big day, Marcus helped us plan the ceremony of our dreams and executed it perfectly! He is very flexible with his plans, but his number one priority is to make sure that the bride and groom are happy. I would recommend Marcus to any bride or groom as he has a variety of ceremony options that would suit anyone’s wishes! Thank you Marcus for making our day so magical!

A huge 5 stars for our awesome officiant ☆☆☆☆☆

Marcus was amazing. My best friend hired Marcus for her wedding, and we instantly knew we wanted him to play an important roll in our own big day as well. We loved how light and fun he kept our rehearsal and ceremony. He was very professional. With all the build up and anxiety of the big day, he was able to bring a sense of calm to our ceremony. We HIGHLY recommend hiring Marcus. He provided notch service! Thank you so much Marcus!! ☆☆☆☆☆

Pastor Marcus was so caring and supportive! He truly captured everything we could have ever wanted during the ceremony!

Pastor Marcus exceeded all of our expectations!
He was so helpful from the very first call to helping us navigate through the entire process right up until our ceremony. He brings such a light and happiness to any conversation and really took the time to get to know us! This reflected in the words and how he spoke at the ceremony, it was absolutely perfect. We felt important, cared for and truly guided with Marcus.
We can't say enough about how fabulous his service was, and feel so blessed we had him to officiate our wedding day.

The perfect wedding officiant for us

From our first meeting with Pastor Marcus, we knew he would be the perfect wedding officiant for us. He had that laid back, easy-going, yet organized, style that we were looking for. He never made any assumptions about what we wanted for our special day. He even accommodated our request to have the wedding in Naramata (a two hours round trip for him). He supplied clear, easy-to-follow, instructions for crafting our ceremony. All communication with him was timely and supportive.

On our wedding day, Marcus arrived early and checked the set-up. He took time to confirm all the details in the ceremony including the proper pronouncement of our names. He was consciousness about his presence in the ceremony yet ensured that we were front and centre. He conducted the ceremony in a smooth and welcoming manner and demonstrated personal care throughout. He never rushed things and enabled our cute, beautiful, moments to shine. He was quick to ensure all our documentation was cared for and submitted.

We give Pastor Marcus our highest recommendation!

Thank you again Marcus for facilitating a perfect wedding ceremony for us!

Amazing Experience!

We had the pleasure of Marcus officiating our wedding, and I cannot say enough good things. Marcus was quick to reply, provided all the information we needed to know going into the wedding, helped guide the creative processes of ceremony creation, and gave excellent suggestions and feedback to ensure we had the perfect ceremony for us.

On the day of Marcus was early to ensure he knew his spot, he reviewed little details like the pronunciation of our names, he asked our photographer which spot to move to for the big kiss as to not be in the frame of her photos, among other small details that made all the difference.

We had a micro ceremony, with my parents joining via video chat, he was clear and firm in his speaking that they were able to enjoy the entirety of the ceremony, which meant so much to me and them.

If you are in the market for an officiant, I cannot recommend Marcus enough. He is thorough, friendly, and will provide you with excellent execution on your important day.

Friendly, professional and accommodating!

Marcus was really helpful! He made sure that we had the wedding we wanted. He went through the entire ceremony and helped us write what we wanted to have said. He was very accommodating and made sure we were happy and comfortable with the ceremony. I chose Marcus because I had a good feeling right away after reaching out to him and I am so glad that I did. I have zero regrets and I’m sure you won’t either! I’d give him more than 5 stars if I could lol!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
