Mark is the most amazing reverend and officiant. We are so grateful for him! He went above and beyond and did a wonderful job officiating our ceremony. Mark was accommodating and worked with us customizing our ceremony template to be exactly what we envisioned. We enjoyed every moment with Mark and could not be happier having had him officiate our special day! We cannot recommend Mark enough to couples seeking a wedding officiant.

Mark was incredible! He was so easy to work with and genuinely tried to get to know me and my husband. He was very responsive to all messages as well as reasonably priced. We loved how Mark helped us add personal touches to our traditional ceremony—we'll cherish that moment forever! Thanks for helping bless our marriage.

Mark was the best officiant we could have asked for! He made our day so special and worked with us to find a ceremony script that fit our preferences and included everything that was important to us. His joyful, charismatic personality kept the ceremony light and happy. We couldn't recommend him more!

Rev. Mark did a wonderful job officiating our wedding. He not only showed up on-time, was professional and did a great job the day of the wedding, but he met with us several times prior to our big day. He had no problem incorporating things we wanted into the ceremony like: communion, prayer, a surprise reading for my now-husband and we even asked him to share a short gospel message. He was fun and personable and got to know us. I would say we would use him again...but the goal is not to. ;)
