Words can not describe our Officiant, Reverend Mark Larose. My husband and I have been married for 2 months and people are still talking about our ceremony and how "Us" it was. I cannot say enough about him. His hard work and effort proves that he was a great choice for us. From the moment we met him, he was making us laugh, cry, everything. What a series of emotions in such a short amount of time. The ONE and ONLY thing i wish Reverend Mark could do for us was to stay and enjoy our celebration but it is completely understandable that he was super busy and had to go. He is an amazing person and a very positive influence! He helped me organize my vows and make it easier for me to read them to my husband. I can't thank him enough!

Where do I begin?! Mark was fabulous from the minute we first met him. He is so personable and has the ability to make you feel so comfortable with him. Mark did a fabulous job of getting to know us and listening to our wants and needs. He incorporated everything that we wanted and our families and friends continue to tell us how blown away they were by how personalized our ceremony was. Not only was Mark wonderful on our wedding day, but he touched base with us for months leading up to the wedding. I thought it was very thoughtful that he called me on the morning of our wedding just to make sure I was feeling calm and to see if I needed anything. If you are looking for a unique and heartfelt ceremony with an officiant who truly listens, my husband and I cannot praise Mark enough. Thank you so much for making our wedding day extra special!!

Mark was fantastic! Our ceremony was personal, unique and so "us" that many guests commented they thought he was one of our lifelong friends. We absolutely loved the ceremony and working with him was a breeze - super responsive and professional. We live 3,000 miles from the wedding location and from Mark so his attentiveness was much appreciated. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone wanting to love their ceremony!

We cannot say enough good things about Mark. It’s easy to get wrapped up in planning the party aspect of your wedding, and it was important to us that people felt they came to witness a meaningful, special ceremony. From day one Mark put our minds at ease. He was genuinely interested in getting to know us as a couple, and it showed in the ceremony! Mark was always responsive, spent a great deal of time writing and perfecting our ceremony, and called the morning of to check in. It was such a beautiful day, and I know people felt they had been invited to witness and very personal moment for us. Our guests commented on the perfect balance of our ceremony, a true reflection of us - romantic, spiritual, family oriented, and fun! Thank you Mark!

I cannot say enough great things about Rev Mark. The ceremony he put together was beautiful, personal and full of energy. He is passionate about his job and it comes through in his ceremonies. He asked us good questions at the initial meeting and touched base with us through the planning process. He put together a ceremony that was funny, full of love and so 'us'. Everyone stopped us to tell us they thought the ceremony was wonderful. The ceremony is the only part of the wedding that is for you so choose Rev Mark!

It's easy to give the reverend mark Larose this rating considering all the time and effort he put into making our wedding special. From the start of the process where mark had us relive special memories with each other and then until the end of the ceremony mark was a creative, flexible and passionate contributor to our wedding experience. Have a clear idea? Tell mark and he will implement it, plus build upon it. Not sure what you want? Mark will draw on his abilities and experiences to help you figure it out. Mark was very responsive to us the entire time always communicating and making sure he helped us prepare for the wedding. I recall a special unity ceremony my wife and I wanted to do but were not sure how to implement. Mark helped us draft, modify and implement the ceremony, coordinating with the hotel on details the day of the ceremony. He truly made it possible for us to focus more on the experience of the day instead of logistical details.

Our ceremony was beautiful. It was perfect and exactly what we had hoped for. Mark's personality and words were perfect and fit us well. His interview questions were personal and utilized well in the ceremony. He is open and honest and willing to share his life stories and words of wisdom. He created a peaceful, respectful and kind atmosphere and seemed to truly understand our relationship. His message was perfect for us. He even told a few jokes when the time served. Mark loves life and seems to love his career. Prior to the start of the wedding, I was stressed because of the lack of professionalism and organization of the caterers (Frungillo) and he was able to make me and my girls laugh. This was much appreciated. Overall, Mark is a wonderful man with a true gift.

Rev. Mark was a huge part in making our day so special and worry free. His availability during the weeks leading up to the wedding was constant, and he responded immediately to any phone calls / emails. He made our ceremony so personal and unique, and assisted greatly in our own writing of our vows.

I will highly recommend him to anyone getting married!!

Like you'll see in a lot of reviews, I don't give 5/5 if they did what they needed to without complaints. Rev. Mark LaRose, did what he was needed to do and then more. He was inspiring, comforting, and just amazing. He was worth every penny, he was worth more than I paid for a lot of the other services I received from other places. He made my wedding what it was. He really set the tone and made the night that much better. He really knows what he's doing. I was more than happy with choosing him. I've already told all my friends that this is the Officiant they need, not want, but need.

Rev. Mark is an amazing person and he will make your wedding day the best it will ever be. He helps with every detail of the ceremony and gives you all the tools to personalize it as much as you want. For me, being a very anxiety ridden person, I was very nervous about the ceremony, and Rev. Mark took all of that away by giving me amazing options. I truly can not imagine another person having marry us, because Rev. Mark made everything so easy and love filled. Our day was more than perfect!

Rev. Mark was perfect for us! We were very nervous at first to try and find someone that could taylor our ceremony to the both of us. I was raised Catholic and my fiance` has no interest in religion but the minute we met Rev. Mark we knew he would be up to the task.

Throughout the year of planning he would check in with us. (But not in an annoying way at all!) He also always made himself availabe and responded very quickly to any thoughts or questions we may have had for him...no matter how big or small- important or random.

We chose to do the wine ceremony because it was something we had never heard of or seen. It was a great fit. Rev. Mark wrote our vows and let us tweak them as much as we needed to and then he read them out loud and we repeated them. I thought that was special and helpful for the crowd because I could barely speak because I was so nervous.

The day of the wedding Rev. Mark made a point to make a quick phone call in the morning for each of to help us stay calm and be excited! When we each arrived he made a point to let each other know how great we looked remained a calming presence for us. Then once we got down the aisle to each other he helped us feel like we were in a bubble that was just for us.

Every bit of the ceremony was taylored to us... he even made it as short and as long as we wanted it. Plus he is very good at making you laugh :)

Rev. Mark is great! We are so proud to say that we used him ... and more importantly we are so proud to say that our paths crossed with his.

Rev. Mark is awesome..that's all you need to know. From the moment we met him we knew immediately he was perfect for us. He demeanor and approach make you feel comfortable..nothing about the process seemed tedious or like a 'wedding interview.' He was never pushy and overbearing but knew when we needed to talk and was always prepared..that is the key..always prepared and had great advice..

He knew what meant the most to us, which allowed him to come up with great ideas for our grandparents and our 5 year old son. At the end of the ceremony he had our son say 'Daddy you can now kiss mommy'..that went over very well..

His speeches were perfect. Not drawn out, very descriptive and touched upon all the great moments my wife and I articulated to him when we first met. The ideas he had for our parents, grandparents and son were awesome..he basically directed our ceremony perfectly..and knew how to handle the staff where we were married..

My wife and I are Catholic and our Grandparents are very traditional. Not getting married in a church wasn't exactly what they envisioned. At the end of the ceremony both our grandparents thought it was one of the best ceremonies they had ever witnessed..they loved it. And the ideas Rev. Mark incorported with our five year old son had people crying..

Rev. Mark of More To This Life Weddings was pure perfection. His attention to detail, his willingness to help you through every step of the wedding process, and his generous and good nature is unmatched. Not only did he call me and offer help throughout, but he was the only calming presence when the wedding came nearer. He showed up on Saturday August 27th (the day of Hurricane Irene) without hesitation, even though many of my other parties were cancelling or thinking about cancelling. After my wedding my guests remarked over and over again how much they loved the service. It was such a personal and heartfelt service, all credit to Rev. Mark, and I couldn't have been happier. He's a great man and Reverand. If you're looking for someone to perform your service do not even consider someone else. Rev. Mark is your guy if you want a classy and honest affair.
