About

I am very passionate about helping two people in love, make sure your ceremony is exactly what will help you and all your guests feel the love that is in the air on your special day. Communication is key and I understand that planning a wedding can be overwhelming and that's why I will return calls and emails as quickly as I am able or within 24 hours at the latest.

I have had couples write their own ceremony, always remember this your day and yes there are standard textbook ceremonies that are beautifully done. We will work together to prepare the perfect ceremony for that special day. I am available for pre-marital counseling offering guidance, advice, or just to be the sounding board if things start to become overwhelming I am a great listener.

On a side note I am a professional barber and if the need arises I can also cut and style the groom and groomsmen on your special day or before. Weddings are very special and I truly enjoy being able to help make your special day all it can be.

If you have any questions about my services or if you have any special requests please do not hesitate to contact me and my team will do our best to assists you anyway that we can.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you about your special day.


Sincerest Regards,

Mark

Thank you Mark!

Simply put, Mark is an outstanding officiant and was the perfect fit for our wedding day. As an officiant, Mark exceeded our expectations and was beyond generous with his time. Prior to the wedding, Mark met with us in person to discuss the ceremony, exchange ideas, and answer all the questions we had. His creative, consultant like approach put us at ease and helped make the wedding planning process fun and exciting rather than stressful in any sort of way. Mark also takes a very flexible and customizable approach to the wedding ceremony and script. He was more than willing to do all the work and put together the perfect wedding script or allow us to write the script independently for him to read and perform. In the end, my wife and I took a hybrid approach by taking inspiration from examples Mark provided and also writing much of it on our own. When the day of the wedding finally arrived, Mark helped ensure that everything was executed to perfection. Mark performed the ceremony with grace, precision and humor and helped create the perfect ceremony environment. Thank you Mark!

Welcome and thank you for your interetst in my services. My name is Mark Schramka and I have been officiating weddings for over 10 years, I was ordained through the Universal Life Church which allows me to officiate weddings all across the USA.

Friends of the family had me ordained and surprised me with the credentials at our monthly get together dinner. I opened the gift box and as I was looking through the materials they asked me if I would do them the honor of officiating there wedding ceremony, after the emotions settled down

I of course agreed. The wedding went very well and the families were pleased with the ceremony because of the passion and stories I could add about the couple.

I am also a Professiona Barber so I enjoy helping people look their best. I am a strong beliver in paying it forward so I do a lot of work with chairties which takes up a lot of my personal time. I do like to golf, travel, cook and bake when I have the time.

Again thank you for your interest and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at the information provided.

Sincerest Regards,

Mark

Have a great day.
