Amazing Wedding Officiant!

We adored getting to know Mark Frady by first taking his marriage class and then having him officiate our wedding! He was very personable, was a great mentor and we learned a lot from him. He has a ton of experience and you can tell he really enjoys what he does! He gave us lots of support and guidance when we needed it! We highly recommend!!

A great combination of experience, warmth and professionalism

After saying "We should get married" for years, we decided to do it, and it was about a week and a half from that decision to the ceremony. We feel very fortunate to have found Reverend Frady. He suggested a magical setting overlooking Lake Tahoe and performed a beautiful ceremony that included a couple of very meaningful prayers. We really wanted a real pastor, not just an officiant who got his or her license online without the true appreciation for the importance of God in a marriage. We were very pleased with his personable and professional service.

Love Reverend Mark!

Our photographer recommended Reverend Mark when we said that we wanted a Christian to officiate our wedding. We met with him via Zoom and decided to book him! Reverend Mark is very warm and easy to talk to. He worked with us to make sure our ceremony included everything we wanted. He is very easy going and has a great personality. We had a very small/intimate wedding and our family enjoyed meeting him. We highly recommend using Reverend Mark!

Wonderful officiant

Mark is one of a kind. He is funny, kind, and very easy to talk with. My husband and I had an outdoor ceremony, and before the ceremony began he gave one of our blanket wedding favors to my grandmother. He kept the mood of our ceremony and rehearsal light by adding sporadic jokes, while he emphasized the importance of our love and commitment of marriage. During the reception our guests told us how much they liked Mark and his humor, it made our ceremony memorable. It was a pleasure to get to know Mark during the marriage counseling class prior to our big day. Before a couple weeks before the ceremony Mark sent us a draft of the script that we read and provided edits to our liking. Mark also helped us with recommendations for where to grab our marriage license in the greater Lake Tahoe area. We highly recommend booking Mark to officiate your wedding!

Mark is the Best!

From the beginning, Mark made an effort to build a relationship with us even though we lived thousands of miles from Tahoe. He walked us through the whole process starting nearly a year before the big day. We got to know his kind, lighthearted sense of humor through his pre-marital counseling class. The class was targeted more towards couples going through problems with their marriage but we still found a variety of useful strategies for long-term relationship happiness. On the wedding day, Mark was punctual, thoughtful, and funny, and contributed to an amazing day. We would recommend Mark to anyone.

Above and beyond!

Mark was so genuine and sweet and walked us through the whole process, even after the ceremony to assist us with name changing! We posed a unique ceremony to him as it blended cultures, and he took the time to understand and execute perfectly. We’ve had guests raving about how beautiful, sweet, and hilarious our ceremony was and it’s all thanks to Mark!

Mark is truly the best

Mark was wonderful in every way! He is patient and warm and professional. He helped us with every little detail we needed, which was especially appreciated since we were coming in from another state. He created a beautiful ceremony for us, and looked oh-so-dapper! He is a true gem of a person. We feel very lucky to have found him.
