Rev. Mark did a great job! In our first meeting he had a few ceremonies picked out that he thought we’d like and we were able to flow from there! He was very respectable and professional and overall I’m really glad we chose him.

Rev. Mark Hall is a wedding officiant In North Liberty IA. He can legally conduct a wedding in all 50 states because of his clergy credentials with his church denomination and his military chaplaincy experience. There are no hidden fees for mileage or paperwork.
Elopement Wedding: $225 Here in North Liberty, I have a free outdoor venue at the gazebo on a lake. I will officiate your wedding for a small ceremony of 15 people or less. I am available most days, evenings and weekends. Calll me to RSVP
Rev. Mark arrives 1 hour early to the ceremony and wears a suit and tie. He is a minister.
A full-service wedding includes a one-on-one consult, on top of which all his ceremonies can be changed to fit your needs and wishes. This means you can add special music, readings, and write your own vows. Mark can preside over a traditional Christian, spiritual, or non-religious ceremony, be they a large or small wedding. He also does second marriages and last-minute weddings at the venue of choice. There are no hidden fees or add-ons, as he is transparent in his dealings from start to finish. With over 35 years of experience, he is very organized and reliable. His fee is $375 for a wedding and if you need or want a rehearsal, that is a $100 fee. I ask for a $100 deposit to save the date and apply it to the wedding ceremony.
The ceremony is the pinnacle of your wedding day. His goal is to create a holy moment, a moment of awe, if you will, that you will always remember and revisit. He is also available for counselling to help start your journey on the right path.

gin in some aspects. Mark was very efficient in answering all of our questions and had many references and examples to help guide us along the way. What I liked most about his services was that he allowed my fiance and I to create a ceremony that truly reflected who we were and how we wanted to present our holy union to our loved ones. I would recommend Reverend Hall to anyone, hands down!

m the first meeting until the very last moment of our wedding Rev. Mark made the rehearsal and the ceremony flawless. Many guests and family members told us what a nice ceremony it was. My grandparents were pleased that he was a real minister and was a retired Army Chaplain. Whatever you are looking for in an officiant, you will find it with Rev. Mark.
