    The Best Wedding Ceremony

    Mark was the most perfect officiant I could have ever asked for. Our ceremony was beautiful, romantic, and included all the details we wanted. All of my guests were in happy tears, I received so many compliments on how beautiful and meaningful my ceremony was. I could not recommend someone more.

    Amazing experience!

    Mark was amazing! From start to finish. He was responsive, detailed and very personable. He took the time to explain every small detail and literally allowed us to personalize our entire ceremony. It was SO MEANINGFUL. He arrived early the morning of the ceremony and even came to check in and reassure me he was there. Our ceremony itself was beautiful and so memorable. Thank you for adding you personal touches and quotes towards the end. Most importantly, thank you so much for sharing our special day with us!

    Best. Ceremony. Ever.

    When we first were looking for an officiant for a wedding, Mark was recommended to us through our venue. When we were finally able to talk with him, we knew he was the perfect match for us and would do a wonderful job officiating our wedding. Over the course of the year planning our wedding, he would check in every once in a while and help with our ceremony. All of our vendors spoke so highly of him, so we knew we were in good hands. On the day of the wedding, we met him for the first time in person. He was so nice and personable. Our ceremony was perfect and better than we could’ve even imagined. We had so many compliments on Mark and multiple people said it was the best ceremony they’ve ever attended. I would recommend Mark to anyone looking for an officiant for their special day.

    Extra Thankful!

    Our wedding ceremony was flawless thanks to Mark. He brought warmth and humor to our vows, was patient with our nerves and (almost) kept a straight face when we Rick Rolled our guests. I can’t say how thankful I am that we had him perform our ceremony!

    Mark Made Our Dream Ceremony A Reality

    We received soooo many compliments on our ceremony and it was all because of Mark! He was easy to communicate with, provided us various readings to choose from, and really tailored the ceremony to us and our relationship. I was worried I wasn't going to find an officiant who could deliver a meaningful, non-religious ceremony but Mark did. He provided a list of non-religious readings to choose from and helped us decide which worked best for our day. The "I love you because" vows were beautiful and we received so many compliments on them. Thank you Mark for helping make our rainy wedding day so special.

    A wonderful experience!

    We really enjoyed working with Mark and he did a fantastic job as our Wedding Officiant! He brings a very easy and organized process and personality to an otherwise hectic and crazy wedding planning realm. We would highly recommend Mark to anyone planning their future wedding, you will not be disappointed he’s great!

    Amazing experience!

    I was a bridesmaid in a wedding a few years ago that Mark officiated at and knew that I wanted him for my own wedding! He's very responsive and professional and made our ceremony perfect. We came into the ceremony planning with no clue what we wanted and he easily helped us structure our ceremony that we got compliments on afterwards for being engaging, not too long/short, and personal.

    Excellent personalized wedding ceremony

    Mark was phenomenal as our wedding officiant. So many of our guests have reached out to say it was the most emotional and personalized wedding ceremony they have ever been to and we unbiasedly agree! Mark had creative ideas that we included into our ceremony and was totally open to any ideas that we had including a Celtic Hand-fasting ceremony. While we didn't know Mark personally before this, you would have never guessed. He did an awesome job getting to know us leading up to our wedding and incorporated personal touches throughout our ceremony. We would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a personalized, touching and professional wedding ceremony!

    Look no further.

    Once we planned our ceremony in Flagstaff, we wanted to find a local officiant. In comes Mark. After speaking with him, it was clear why he had so many reviews. He was professional, personable and this definitely wasn't his first rodeo. The custom ceremony draft was awesome- you're able to pick multiple sections and move/add/delete anything you'd like. We ended up doing our ceremony pretty last minute, but Mark didn't even bat an eye. We also had to reschedule the ceremony time (Sorry Mark- my bad!) and he worked with us to make it happen. Be sure to do the "I Love You Because" - it's definitely the highlight. Thanks for all your help Mark, we couldn't have done it without you!

    Best ceremony, everyone had tears!

    Mark was recommended as the reverend/ officiant for our ceremony from a local Scottsdale neighbor. We did a zoom call meet and greet and knew immediately he was the one we wanted to unite my fiancé and I in marriage. The whole process was great with Mark providing a lot of options for the ceremony. Our only regret is that we did one pre marital counseling session and both agree that was so impactful we wish we had done the package of six that he offers. Mark is kind, insightful, a wealth of wisdom and quite the wordsmith. Highly, highly recommend!

    Mark made our ceremony so special! He was able to customize the ceremony to meet our personality and vision. He is able to walk you though the planning process easily and smoothly. He is a great, entertaining speaker and does all around such a good job. I cannot recommend him enough.

    5 Star Ceremony/Officiant Experience

    Mark was fantastic! He made our wedding ceremony so personal and special. There were a few laughs and some very romantic/sentimental moments. We also did the pre-marital counseling with him and we learned so much that we will bring into our marriage with us. If you’re looking for an officiant STOP looking, this is your guy! 10/10

    Above and beyond

    We are so so grateful we hired Mark to be our officiant! I couldn’t even count the amount of compliments we received about how personalized and special the ceremony was. Mark is a natural speaker who blends formality and humor perfectly. Make sure you include the “I love you because” section in the ceremony. It was an absolute hit with our guests and such a special moment for me and my bride. Hire Mark, you’ll be so glad that you did!

    Last minute wedding was perfect thanks to Mark!

    Oh my goodness, what an amazing ceremony that Mark officiated for us. Even in our last minute wedding planning, he was able to learn about us and make this moment absolutely perfect. From his first video conference with us, to the final I do's he was a joy to work with. We highly recommend him if you are needing an officiant for your wedding! God Bless you Mark! Love, Doug and Jill

    Wonderful Experience

    Mark was recommended highly to us from the wedding venue. We did our first meeting and it was nice and easy just getting to know us. COVID hit and Mark was beyond flexible in accommodating our change of date. Mark was quick to respond and provided great options for the service. During the rehearsal, Mark provided excellent guidance for the big day and even made sure we were in place for great pictures. Overall, we can’t recommend Mark enough and he is the nicest guy, helpful, and funny. We were glad he was part of our special day.

    Amazing, book him-you will not regret it

    Where to begin, Mark was absolutely incredible! He was responsive, he was timely, he was soo nice and so professional. Each of our guests kept complementing him and especially his wine box ceremony. He didn’t miss one word in the ceremony and was so confident and he was even comical as this is one of the most nerve racking days of people’s lives. Also, we chose him because as we are still religious, we didn’t consistently attend church so we didn’t have a pastor. Thankfully, we found Mark and boy did he deliver. He lead a beautiful prayer and ceremony. I would HIGHLY recommend him! Mark, thank you for EVERYTHING.
