Joyous Ceremonies by Father Mark Earl

Thankful to have had Father Mark as our Catholic priest to officiate our wedding. He was personable and had the wedding guests laughing throughout the ceremony. Easy to correspond with through email. I was able to obtain copies of our marriage license after Father Mark signed and mailed it off around 2 weeks after the wedding!

Father Mark did an amazing job with our wedding ceremony. He called us months in advance to secure the date with a deposit and discuss how the ceremony would go. Then he sent us a booklet to aid us in selecting what readings we wanted for the ceremony. Having a shortened Catholic ceremony was really important to both of us but we wanted to have it at our chosen ceremony site. It is hard to find someone to do this since you are usually unable to have a catholic ceremony outside the church so we were relieved we found Father Mark and he was willing to come to the winery we held our wedding at. He arrived promptly for the rehearsal and gave us a great guide as to where to stand, what to do, etc- those little details that get lost or when you are nervous get forgotten. We asked him to provide us with communion and he was amazing with making sure I didn’t have any spills of wine on my wedding dress!!! He was fantastic and our guests loved our ceremony. He added in a few jokes and our guests loved it. The tradition of the catholic ceremony was so important to us as a couple and our ceremony was meaningful and beautiful. Thank you Father Mark for making our day so special.

First of all, sorry it's taken me a yr to write this review but hopefully better late than never! Father Earl was amazing! One yr ago Father Earl, along with another officiant, married my husband and myself. There was a bit of a problem with the ceremonial sacrament in the beginning between the two officiants but Father Earl handled it beautifully and everything came together perfectly! It was exactly what we wanted! Thank you!

My husband and I were married by Father Mark Earl on the beach in Mission Bay and it was the best decision we made while wedding planning. Throughout our planning, Father Mark was very professional and responded quickly to all of our emails and calls. He is a fantastic speaker with a great sense of humor. Most importantly he worked with us to draft a beautiful Catholic ceremony that made a great lasting impression on our friends and family. The wedding ceremony was my favorite part of my wedding day and that is in part due to Father Mark. My husband and I cannot say enough positive things about him and would recommend him any day!
