Marcus delivered an unexpectadly moving and personalized oration for our informal wedding celebration. His ability to sense the essence of what we wanted to be included based on a brief contact made before the ceremony was remarkable. We highly recommend Marcus as a wedding officiate.

Marcus Fikse has such an exceptional warmth and way with words that made our ceremony rich with touching moments. For this reason, we’ve extended our highest recommendation to have him officiate ceremonies for our family and close friends. We couldn’t have enjoyed our own ceremony more, having hiked to a pass above Girdwood, Alaska, formed a circle of pussywillows and flowers, and, with eyes shining with tears of joy, shared beautifully moving vows that Marcus wrote. He also included a favorite poem of mine. We exchanged rings and held our hands upwards to the backdrop of mountains as Marcus affirmed our love. Incredibly joyful and lovely in all ways.

We decided afterwards to renew our vows with Marcus Fikse every three years. He is such an old soul with his insights, humor and compassionate facilitation. Marcus assisted us with one renewal of vows recently that was also deeply wonderful. Thank you, Marcus!
