    In good hands

    Mark Bidlake was a great choice to officiate our wedding. He was very helpful planning the flow of the event and assisting with our vows. He did a wonderful job of offering ideas, establishing a working format/template and then letting us make adjustments to personalize the script. The communication was excellent pre-event and he, of course, arrived early to prepare, review and even help with decoration of the dais.

    You’ll find Mark to be warm, caring and lighthearted. He is also a patient and understanding man. My husband came down with Covid the day before our first wedding date so we had to cancel in a hurry and reschedule. Mark was very gracious about it all.

    All of our guests thought the ceremony was beautiful and graceful. Our many thanks to Mark for helping to make our day memorable and very special.

Mark Bidlake
Officiant and Pastor

I was raised the son and grandson of Methodist ministers. Along the way I've attended services of a variety of faiths, but often prefer the peace and majesty of the outdoors. My career has taken me across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, and has exposed me to many cultures. I've learned flexibility and appreciation of different beliefs, values, and lifestyles.

My Bachelors degree includes a minor in communications, and my Masters degree a specialization in organizational psychology. I've had extensive training in communications and presentation skills, consulting and facilitation skils. In my professional life, I have made countless presentations, including to groups as large as 1,000 people. I'm also a published author, and I love the power and magic of words.

Serving as an Officiant or Minister I meet wonderful couples, and have the opportunity to help make your big day more beautiful, unique and special.
