About

Need a Licensed officiant for your wedding ceremony? Hi, I am Pastor Mark Turansky, an ordained minister since 1984 and Licensed wedding officiant in Hawaii since 2001. In Hawaii we say aloha for hello, goodbye and as way to express a spirit of heart and love. A wedding ceremony is a beginning whose intention is to thrive and flourish to the end with a spirit of heart and love. The expression of your hearts and love for each other is as unique as you are as people, and I would be honored to help you create a ceremony that would reflect that. I have been involved in the ministry for over 30 years, and have excellent skills in organization and helping people create meaningful life events. I have a casual, down to earth way and stay cool under pressure. Most importantly, I want to see couples succeed at marriage and truly enjoy their lives together. Anything I can do to be part of this is a blessing to me. I hope to be a blessing to you.

Perfect for our day

Mark was wonderful!! His words were beautiful and we felt comfortable with him right away. Communication was great. I would recommend him to anyone getting married in Hawaii! Also, he hiked up to the spot we wanted better than we could haha. Thank you, Mark!!

Pastor Mark's Ceremony is Perfection

Our photographer recommended Pastor Mark as "being down for a hike," as we chose a rather treacherous, albeit beautiful, location for our elopement ceremony. From the very beginning, Pastor Mark was personable, flexible, and responsive. He hiked up a mountain with us, performed an absolutely perfect and authentic ceremony, and we sincerely could not be happier. Mahalo for making our Oahu elopement everything we wished for and more, Pastor Mark!

Everything we wanted and more!

Pastor Mark was such a pleasure to work with. He was responsive, flexible, fun, and professional. He answered all of our questions promptly and easily...and boy, did we have a lot of questions! He even helped explain how to get the marriage license in HI. His ceremony was perfect. It lasted just the right amount of time, and included all the best elements. We especially appreciated his valuable advice and willingness to incorporate scripture. We just can't say enough good things about him!
