We were so lucky to have Rev. Marc Sabin as a part of our wedding ceremony. He was extremely accommodating, super responsive and really took our stories and made it flow so well. Definitely recommend!
Rev Marc officiated our wedding last month. He is absolutely incredible. He had us write love letters to each other, and he took those and wrote the most wonderful, personalized ceremony. His words were beautifully written. It was so sweet, funny, and romantic. Our wedding guests loved it! Thank you so much Marc!
I cannot say enough great things about Reverend Marc! He made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. He had us each write “our story” about one another and then used that to relay it during our ceremony and he could not have done a better job! Our guests raved about how much of an intimidate ceremony it was and was like something they’ve never seen before. Thanks again Reverend Marc!
We hired Marc after a wonderful introduction call where he walked us through his process and answered my questions. From there, we sent Marc some stories and letters to help customize the ceremony. Skip forward to the most wonderful, heartfelt, and overall spot on ceremony that our guests continued to compliment throughout the night. Marc really listened to our preferences (non religious, traditional, story telling) and used verbiage that resonated with us as a couple. We also asked Marc to write our vows and no one believed Marc, someone who had never even met us, could have created such personal and relatable vows that truly captured our unique perspectives and intentions for our marriage. Hire Marc and trust in his process and professionalism. you wont be disappointed!

Marc officiated our wedding and we were blown away by what he put together. We have gotten so many compliments about our ceremony. He wove a beautiful story about our lives and presented some key moments in our relationship that shaped who were are and what we've become. Thank you, Marc!
Rev Marc Sabin was the officiant for our wedding on July 23, 2022 at The Rockleigh in New Jersey. Thanks to his attention to detail he made our ceremony feel very personal in the best way. My Husband and I each provided details to Rev Marc on our story together, which he used to craft an incredible story for us and our guests throughout the ceremony. Everything flowed very well and the process of working with Rev Marc was smooth and easy from start to finish. Thank you, Rev Marc Sabin!
Having Marc be the officiant at our wedding on 5/20/22 was one of the best choices we made. He had us, individually, write love letters to each other and include a story or two of an experience we shared together. Then he took those and intertwined them together to create such a personal ceremony with personalized vows. Every single person came up to us at the ceremony with tears in their eyes saying how beautiful our ceremony was. Marc is a great speaker and would recommend him 100 times over. Thanks again Marc!
Marc was great to work with! He really takes the time to get to know you and crafts a beautiful story that include both our personalities and shows how our love had grown. We had no idea what to expect as this was the first marriage for each of us and we didn't want a traditional religious ceremony. Marc walked us through everything and helped to create a perfect ceremony for us. We got so many compliments after saying how beautiful it was. He even made us a personal book with the entire ceremony that we can read again later on. We're so happy he was able to officiate our wedding!
We are soo beyond happy we chose Rev. Marc! We heard about him through all our venue site visits, as his name kept popping up as a preferred vendor. He was very easy to connect with and book our initial meeting. When we decided to move forward with him, the ceremony planning process was very straightforward and he was extremely helpful in offering suggestions to build the perfect ceremony for us. He asks that you provide a love letter to each other prior to the wedding so he pulled a lot from those for the ceremony, however it felt like he had know our relationship for years! The ceremony was meaningful, fun & lighthearted. Many of our guests said it was the best they ever heard!! Thank you again Rev. Marc!!
As a Wedding Coordinator I witness many ceremonies and I have to say Reverend Marc Sabin performed one of the best ceremonies I have witnessed! The couple I was working with hired him at the last minute, as their original plan did not work out, so Reverend Marc Sabin did not have much time to get to know the couple, however you would have never known it. He truly listened to what they had told him and created a beautiful ceremony, you would have thought he knew them for years! It was so heartfelt! If you are looking for a wedding officiant you need to go with Reverend Marc Sabin!
Marc was great and I had many compliments on our ceremony. Marc will ask you for a one page letter from each of you about love, marriage, etc. My husband and I wrote a lot about how we met and our relationship over the years, but we didn't share with each other what we wrote. Marc incorporated a lot of what we wrote and it was fun to hear what he put together from both of us. Highly recommend.
Marc was absolutely amazing. He was able to do a ceremony at my house with a weeks notice and my husband and I couldn’t be happier. He took time to make it personal and special by including details about us. I would highly recommend him to anyone! THANKS MARC!
Prior to booking Rev Marc, I had of course read the many glowing reviews other couples had written and wow they were not wrong. I don’t know how he does it but Marc was able to perfectly capture the sentiment of mine and my husband’s relationship. He kept us and our guests laughing (and crying) the entire time. We were told after that our vows were the best our friends and family had ever heard. Our ceremony was so personal that our guests assumed Marc was family, and he certainly felt like it. Rev Marc was quick to respond to emails and was an overall pleasure to have as a special and important part of our wedding. I cannot recommend Rev Marc enough.
marc was great. our wedding date and venue changed and he was very accommodating. he was responsive throughout the entire process, and helpful in us deciding how to conduct our ceremony (we were clueless). the ceremony was beautiful and brought out so much emotion in us and our guests. highly recommend.
We sought out Reverend Marc after attending a friends wedding where he officiated; more than 7 years ago. His personalized ceremony for my friend stuck with me all that time and we knew that we wanted the same for our wedding ceremony. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is challenging, and although we never met Reverend Marc prior to our wedding, you wouldn’t be able to tell that with how he added so many personal touches to our ceremony. We have gotten so many compliments on how wonderful he was, how it was one of the best ceremonies people have ever been to and we are just so pleased that everyone enjoyed it as much as we did. It’s comforting to be able to put your faith in someone to give you exactly what you hope for on your big day. We were also able to incorporate some readings into our ceremony which was a nice touch. We highly recommend Reverend Marc.
Rev Marc was so cool and helpful. He really captured our love story for the audience. I was looking for a non religious ceremony yet traditional. He helped us navigate writing our own vows which was a huge plus!
Marc was incredible. I have been to so many weddings, and lots of them feel impersonal and canned. Marc took the time to have my husband and me write love letters to each other, send them to him, and then he crafted a beautiful, poignant, funny service that our guests still remember and mention to this day, over three and a half years later. We highly recommend Marc if you want to have a personalized, special service that will be on another level!
We continue to get comments about how genuine and sentimental our ceremony was thanks to Reverend Marc. After only one meeting he was able to create a ceremony that was so personal and emotional that people couldn't believe that we hadn't known him throughout our whole relationship. I cannot express how much I loved my ceremony. I would recommend Reverend Marc to anyone!
Despite belonging to an episcopal church, my husband and I chose Reverend Marc Sabin to perform our marriage last weekend.
Marc brings years of experience, incredible writing skills, warmth and humor to any ceremony. Using information gathered separately from me and my husband, Mark creative vowels
Using information gathered separately from me and my husband, Mark created vows 100 percent unique to us.
Our ceremony was so special that my 19-year-old son plans to use Marc too some day!
Marc made our wedding ceremony truly magical! He met with us to get to know us, took many notes, and also was easily accessible throughout the wedding planning process. Marc asked my husband and I to write love letters to each other which he then used to craft beautiful, very touching vows. At the ceremony itself, Marc made our ceremony feel personal and as if my husband and I were the only two people there (when there were actually 100+). After the ceremony, Marc presented us with a book that had the entire ceremony written inside. All of our wedding guests couldn’t believe how beautiful our ceremony was and constantly commented on how amazing Marc was as an officiant. Thank you, Marc!!!
Right before our big family wedding, we decided we wanted to have a legal ceremony, an experience just for my husband and I - to take all the pressure off. Marc came through for us at the last minute. We meet him for coffee and he listened to our story and understood our values. He created a ceremony and performed it at a site that was very meaningful to us. The ceremony was only my husband and I and two witness. It was thoughtful intimate and everything we wanted. He took care of all the paperwork for us and we had our marriage certificate in a few weeks. We highly recommend Marc for anyone who wants a thoughtful, intimate ceremony, focused around your own personal values. We we're looking for a non-religious wedding and he did not pressure us at all to incorporate any traditional religious rhetoric. Thanks Marc! We'll cherish the memory of our special day forever!
Wow. I don't even know where to start. Reverend Marc Sabin is such a special person. We found him online and immediately knew we wanted to speak with him after looking at his website.
Working with Rev Marc before the wedding was shockingly easy and he was a calming presence throughout the entire process. His helpful instructions were clear and straight forward. He even helped Tom, my husband, format his vows.
On the day of our wedding, Rev Marc was again a calming, strong presence. When he came into the bridal suite and hugged me, I knew I was ready for the ceremony. Rev Marc created the most beautiful ceremony for us. Our guests were so moved by his words, as we were of course as well. Everyone laughed and cried. Almost every single guest asked us about Rev Marc. He has a striking spiritual presence and was dressed impeccably. And as I said, his words were so moving, our guests were very engaged in the ceremony and told us how beautiful it was. Everyone was frankly blown away.
Rev Marc, we couldn't have gotten married without you (literally). Thank you so much for our beautiful ceremony. You will be in our hearts, minds, and spirits, forever.
Love,
Lauren and Tom
Reverend Marc officiated the most perfect ceremony for my husband and I. Prior to the ceremony, he asked us to write 2 letters to each other that we gave to him to get to know us better. From this, he personalized a beautifully written ceremony and incredible vows. His delivery struck the perfect balance between sweetness, humor and romance. He also gave us a 10 page booklet of the entire ceremony that we will treasure forever.
Marc was an absolute pleasure to work with to make our wedding ceremony special and truly tailored to my husband and I! He is warm and personable, and his methodology to putting together a ceremony is lovely, as he pulled personal stories and thoughts from love letters we wrote to each other. We were also able to customize it from beginning to end and the result was exactly what we were looking for; the right balance of serious and humorous, as well as the right amount of religion based on our preferences (mostly secular with a hint of faith for our more traditional parents, who very much appreciated it!). We loved every moment of it and will never forget it - especially with the ceremony booklet keepsake he put together for us! Thank you, Marc!
We're so thankful that we found Marc to officiate our wedding ceremony! It was important to us to have someone who could make our ceremony feel personal. I'm not very religious, but my husband's family is Catholic, and Marc was a perfect combination of expressing faith and also reflecting more non-religious views. After reading prior positive reviews and chatting with him on the phone, we knew he'd be great. We really enjoyed the process of writing love letters, and found many of those details beautifully woven into his ceremony so it was as he knew us. He made our ceremony lighthearted, with plenty of laughs from ourselves and our guests, but equally serious and thoughtful in content and tone. His daughter was also very sweet, and we loved that we could keep the ceremony book to have his words with us forever. Thanks, Marc!
My husband and I could not be happier with our wedding ceremony! Rev Marc was recommended to us by our venue, The Hollow Brook Golf Club, where the ceremony took place.
When I first thought of our ceremony, I thought my husband and I should write our own vows, because I really wanted the personalized touch to our ceremony. The thought of this petrified my husband as he hates speaking in public, especially his own words in front of 180 guests.
Rev. Marc recommended we write love letters to each, or about each other. He helped and encouraged Josh with his letter and it turned out beautifully.
He told our love story from both of our sides, making our ceremony personalized and special. When it was time to repeat our vows, I thought it was so special he used my very own words to describe and vow to Josh.
He eloquently included my mom in our ceremony who has passed,using again my own words to describe her. It was beautiful.
We are so pleased and without hesitation would recommend Rev. Marc!
Rev Marc helped make our special day memorable for our family and friends. He made our ceremony unique by incorporating our love letters into our vows. Initially, writing love letters to each other presented as a bit of a challenge (especially if you are not a good writer) but became much more natural and fluid than anticipated. Everyone gave compliments on how personal and beautiful everything turned out. We highly recommend Rev Marc!

Rev. Marc was BEYOND anything we could have ever imagined when it came to creating a personalized, and memorable ceremony. The months leading up to the wedding he had my husband, and I write love letters to one another so he could incooperate them into our ceremony. We had NO idea how he would be able to take what we said and mix it into the ceremony but WOW did he do an amazing job! Every thing from the length of the ceremony, to the personalization, was just perfect. Rev. Marc was on time, professional and worth every penny! We couldent have asked for a better Rev. to share in our special day! We even got to keep the ceremony book for a memory. Anyone I speak to said it was by far the best ceremony they've ever witnessed, and I'm not saying it because it was my own but I agree!!! If you're looking for a Rev. to have at your wedding Rev. Marc is your guy!!!!!
If you are in the search of finding an officiant- look no more! Marc was absolutely amazing! He went out of his was to get to know both my husband and I and wrote a beautiful love story about the two of us. Family and Friends still comment about how wonderful he was during the ceremony!
Most beautiful ceremony was performed by Rev. Sabin. The way he put into words the story of my daughters love story was like no other. I would highly recommend Rev. Sabin to perform your loved ones ceremony.

Marc Sabin is an excellent wedding officiant and reverend. The ceremony process was so easy and effortless, even though my husband and I wanted personalized vows. Marc had each of us write a love letter to each other, send it to him and then he developed our personal vows off of the letters. It took away the stress of each writing our own vows. Our guests absolutely adored Marc, as he made us comfortable on the alter and had a light hearted, friendly presence. Overall, Marc is a fantastic officiant and someone you can rely on to really make a ceremony unique. He will go out of the way to meet your wedding ceremony expectations and has an excellent relationships with other vendors in the Hudson Valley.
Rev Marc is such a genuine and kind-hearted person, and my husband & I are so incredibly lucky and grateful that he was a part of the most important day of our lives! He did an exceptional job creating the perfect ceremony for us, including writing the most memorable & personal vows we could have ever imagined!! Those that did not know our entire love story really enjoyed hearing it for the first time, and those that knew our story loved reliving it with us…we really couldn’t have gotten better feedback from all of our guests! Our venue always spoke so highly of Rev Marc, but we were completely blown away by how personal and meaningful our entire ceremony was- for that we will never be able to express our true gratitude!! We really couldn't have asked for anything more!
