Our Dream Ceremony Delivered

We feel beyond lucky that Mark was available to perform our ceremony. We knew we wanted our wedding to be fun, intimate & non-generic. From the moment we met to make sure the chemistry was a fit, we knew he would be able to deliver our dream ceremony. He took the time not only to get to know us as a couple but also to really learn our story. When we told him we were having a surprise wedding, he was immediately on board, He was able to provide any guidance we wanted as he had done surprise weddings in the past.

We were beyond thrilled with our ceremony & wish more couples realized that having a personal unique ceremony is an option. We laughed, we cried, he covered all the emotions. He is a natural public speaker and truly talented at what he does. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. Our friends & family raved about the event & the ceremony. People asked us how long we had known him as they thought he must have been a friend. One of our guests even stated it was the best wedding she had ever been to (don’t tell her husband!).

He was worth every penny as he definitely made our special day even more fantastic than we could have imagined.

Simply amazing !

I reached out to Mark earlier this year to try to find a wedding officiant. Like many other couples we had to postpone our wedding from 2020 to 2021 and because of that we had many changes, including finding an officiant . Mark was very understanding and actually happened to have an opening on our day. We met twice before he officiated our wedding. It was wonderful meetings where he just had simple questions wanting to get to know us and our story.
We did a rehearsal ceremony the day before and ironed out little details.it was nice to actually practice before all eyes where on you. Mark was very thorough and his main priority through the whole process was to make us comfortable, happy and to share our story and have our ceremony how we wanted.
Mark tells the story of how you met/got engaged including funny little details that your guests will love ! MANY of my guests commented on how great our officiant was and the beautiful ceremony he conducted.
Looking for an officiant? Hire mark. You will have zero regrets!

Totally worth it

What the people are saying is true! What great reviews! Mark officiated our wedding in September 2021. He was wonderful. He was funny, personable and made everyone feel relaxed. He put our story together beautifully and our ceremony felt so meaningful and personal. We will remember it forever. Thank you Mark!

AMAZING experience!

Mark was absolutely incredible to work with! Our ceremony was so personalized to our story and we loved every minute of it! We all laughed and cried and laughed even more - we even had guests come up to us after to tell us how amazing our officiant was and wondered if he was actually a friend of ours! Words can't express how special he helped make our day! Thanks so much!

Awesome, entertaining wedding for us and our guests!

My husband and I asked Mark to be our officiant in 2019, after meeting with him in a local coffee shop to ensure we were a good match.

We ended up having to postpone our wedding due to Covid. During a stressful time for us, Mark was flexible with our date and easy to contact. He was friendly throughout the planning process and always available to answer our questions.

When it came to our wedding ceremony, we knew that we wanted something entertaining. We wanted the ceremony to be about us and our story. Mark absolutely nailed it. He had our guests and us laughing and crying. He made sure our wedding ceremony was tailored to our story and who we are as a couple.

I have been to a few different ceremonies and although everyone's wedding day is of course special and unique, I cannot recommend anyone other than Mark. He helped to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. All of our guests have told us how wonderful our ceremony was, and how much they enjoyed our officiant and hearing our story.

We are so lucky to have someone like Mark in our community!

Amazing Officiant!

Mark is a truly wonderful officiant! He really puts in the time to get to know the couple and figure out what makes them unique. He not only does a workshop with the couple to better understand their relationship, but also reaches out to your friends and family to get their stories about the couple, in order to put together a beautiful story for the big day. He is very organized and puts any concerns you may have at ease with his vast knowledge and friendly personality. Long story short, hire Mark if you'd like a great officiant that will make your wedding ceremony different from all the rest!

A ceremony we will never forget!ark took the time to get to know us so that when he told our love story during the wedding it was like he was there for everything and like we have known him for years.

I have never cried and laughed at the same time during a ceremony before. He told our love story and it felt like we were reliving it with our closest friends and family. He was able to get the guests interested and also helped relax everyone by making people laugh and learn new things about us. He has the perfect voice for an officiant and you can tell he has a passion for this and wants to make sure you get a personalized ceremony about you and it will be perfect.

All of our guests afterwards came up to ask us how perfect your ceremony was, how much mark was into being the officiant and how much they appreciated that he made it personal about you and your love story.

We would 100% recommend Mark for being your officiant for you wedding. He is amazing and truly is passionate about this. He took the time to get to know us, answer all our questions and really helped calm all our nerves.

He truly does an amazing job. I

Unboring for sure - but so much more.

Perfection. Flawless. Amazing. Wow. We had many of our family members ask how long we’ve known Mark! They thought he was one of our best friends because of how flawlessly he told our story. Mark was amazing and professional from the first meeting. He took the time to get to know us, and it truly paid off during the ceremony. WOW. We laughed, we cried, then we laughed some more. It was such an amazing part of the day and something we will NEVER forget. We recommend Mark WITHOUT A DOUBT. Book him if you can, he’s the best in the biz!! Worth every penny. Thank you again, Mark!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
