A Testimony

Let me start off by first thanking you from the bottom of our hearts! The first time we met you, we knew you were the person we wanted to perform our ceremony. You made us feel absolutely comfortable with you, and as you know by now, my husband does not open up to people very easily. We can't tell you enough how much we appreciate the fact that you were there for anything and everything we needed. I knew that we had nothing to worry about when I had a question because you answered my emails and phone calls so quickly and always had an answer for me. I hope you didn't think I was a pest. The ceremony you wrote for us was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!! I felt like you knew us for years and years, when in reality we only met a few months before the wedding. The vows were beautiful.
You did everything you said you would do and more. I hope that every couple you marry feels as lucky as we do. Its funny that I came upon you "by accident" and could not have chosen a better person to share our day with. Thank you again, and please keep in touch!.......M. Kershaw, Hewitt, NJ

Mark is great!

Mark was a pleasure to work with for our wedding! He was very easy to coordinate with and very quick responding. He has a lot of fun and positive energy and it showed in our ceremony. We had several people come up to us and say how engaging the ceremony was. We’re very happy we had Mark officiate our wedding!

Mark was exceptional. Due to a mix up we needed to repeat our wedding ceremony. Mark officiated both with a smile and the warmest affection.

WOW! Is all I can start by saying. We were SOOOOO incredibly pleased, surprised, excited and blessed to have used Mark for our wedding day! From our detailed meetings, to his timeliness, professionalism, incredible talent and ability to make a wedding ceremony personalized and fun- Mark is a true GEM. We honestly just love him...We wanted our ceremony to be fun and different from the normal blah blah blah ceremony....it SURE was! We got and keep getting compliments on how beautiful our ceremony and how great Mark was. Thank you for making our day one to remember forever, for taking the time to learn who WE ARE as a couple, and for helping to make our dreams come true. We are so blessed to have met you and have gained a new friend! I would recommend Mark to any bride and groom looking for an officiant for their wedding day in a heartbeat. You will be blown away!

Rev. Mark was an amazing officiant. I could not have been happier. He brought such humor and creativity to our ceremony. We were only able to speak on Skype a few times prior to the wedding because we were planning from far away, but he was able to take so many personal details and incorporate them into the ceremony. We chose our own readings and added in a sand ceremony. Rev. Mark connected everything together seamlessly, and even helped us with our vows. I've never heard another officiant give such a personal and unique ceremony. We are eternally grateful.

Mark is probably the nicest person I have ever met. He always smiles when he talks to you and our first meeting lasted over an hour and he also did follow up meetings that were almost an hour. He is very detailed and wants to make sure everything runs smoothly during the ceremony. Before the ceremony, everytime I needed him, he somehow appeared through the door of the bridal suite like he knew I was thinking about him. He is just amazing. Great guy. I would recommend him to any couple!

If you are searching for an officiant who will tailor your wedding ceremony to exactly what defines you and your fiancé, Rev. Mark Larose is your dream come true. We were both raised Catholic, but neither of us wanted a church wedding. Meeting with Rev. Mark was a breath of fresh air. He created a custom ceremony for us that was unique and still incorporated a few of the Catholic traditions, to keep our families happy! There are so many reasons I am thankful we found Rev. Mark, but the single most important reason is our vows. During our first meeting I said "I do not want to write my own vows," and he challenged me on that and then helped guide me during the writing process. Even though I sobbed through my vows during the ceremony, it was beyond special to have my own words to say to my husband and to hear his own words back. That is something we will both treasure forever!!!

You will have no regrets if you choose Reverend Mark Larose to marry you. Luckily we had a recommendation from a friend because like so many brides out there, we had no idea where to start. Reverend Mark met with us, truly listened to us, wanted to know and learn about us as individuals and as a couple, and genuinely took it all into consideration while planning our ceremony. Communication was great as we emailed back and forth- choices, vows, and suggestions. The ceremony was perfect. It was fun, light-hearted, yet serious when it needed to be. It was exactly as we imagined, and even a month later, we still have people commenting how wonderful and unique our ceremony was. Every time I watch the video or think about our ceremony, I realize we were SO fortunate to have had Reverend Mark marry us. Thank you for everything!

After interviewing a few officiants we decided that Mark was our guy. During our first meeting Mark had asked us a lot of questions he was so interested in "our story". He kept in touch with us and the week of our wedding called us and did a walk through over the phone of our ceremony. I knew it was going to be good because he was very well organized and incorporated everything that we wanted. We had so many of our guests give us great feedback about the ceremony. They said that he kept it interesting and had their attention throughout the ceremony. He got to our venue an hour early and scheduled meetings with our Matire'D, band, photographer, and videographer all to ensure a smooth ceremony. I would definitely recommend him to any of my friends and family looking to go the non-traditional route of getting married somewhere other then a church etc.

My fiance (now husband!) is jewish and I am catholic and we were looking for someone who could work with us to create a ceremony that celebrates and respects aspects of both religions and traditions to make both families feel included and happy. Lucky for us, we met Mark Larose!

From the moment we met Mark he made us feel comfortable and that he was interested in learning about us as a couple and as individuals. He had many ideas on how to incorporate both traditions and was always readily available by phone and email. He would touch base with us, make sure we were comfortable with the layout of the ceremony, and even called me the morning of our ceremony to check in and make sure I was doing okay which was extremely sweet and thoughtful. Right before the ceremony, he took charge and coordinated with the matre de at the reception hall, the photographers and the musician and the ceremony went off without a hitch! It was a beautiful ceremony that really represented who we are as a couple and our family members are still commenting on how wonderful the ceremony was especially at incorporating both religions.

Thank you Mark for helping make our day so special, memorable and stress free!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
