Our experience with Pastor Mark started well before the wedding. We had the pleasure of meeting Mark in person about four months or so before the wedding took place at a local coffee shop for a one on one. Mark was on time and well prepared. He started off by asking us questions about our relationship, so he could better understand us and our story. Although we had just met, we felt very comfortable speaking with him as if he were a very good friend, someone you can feel comfortable talking to without hesitation. After hearing our story, he then presented us with many thoughtful ideas as to how he could hand tailor our ceremony to us and make it meaningful to us. He had many recommendations that we had not thought of and assured us of the importance what we were about to embark on. He reminded us to not sweat the details and to enjoy the day, as he would take care of everything. (Which he did!)
About 24-48 hours before the wedding, Mark called us individually to check in and to see how we were doing, to calm nerves and finalize any last minute details. Just as before, he was reassuring and a pleasure to speak with. On the day of the wedding, Mark was there early and had met with me in the hospitality suite, we took care of the official license business and then he went to check in on my wife. I was having trouble with my suit and he graciously stepped in to help. A full service officiant, as he put it jokingly, something above and beyond the expected. During the ceremony, Mark had clearly listened well to our story from our first meeting and had incorporated subtleness along with humor, all while keeping the ceremony elegant. In one word, his words made our ceremony beautiful. Many of our guests remarked later as to how delightful the ceremony was. Others said he spoke well and it seemed as if he had known us both for many years. If you are reading this review today, all I can truly say is, do not hesitate as you will not regret using Mark.

Pastor Mark did such an amazing job! He made sure to incorporated all the traditional & cultural elements that my husband and I wanted and he did it so eloquently. He did everything we asked and put us at ease during the entire process. He made us feel so comfortable and we are so happy to have found Pastor Mark - our wedding wouldn't have been as special as it was without him a part of it.

Pastor Mark was an absolute pleasure to work with. From beginning to end, he made sure that we felt comfortable and "ourselves." He was willing to do an unusual unity ceremony that we requested, and did a great job writing something up to match it! He had just the right amount of humor, and kept us feeling calm, collected, and comfortable. He had a "skype" interview with us that helped out A LOT. He walked us through the entire ceremony, beginning to end. He was willing to read the vows to us over and over so that we could customize everything to be EXACTLY what we wanted.

He arrived at the venue early to check on us individually, and see how we were feeling. He reminded us what the day was about, and ensured us that we wouldn't have to "remember anything," because he had us taken care of. He guided us through the wedding ceremony flawlessly. I highly recommend hiring Pastor Mark. You won't regret it.
