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.

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 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.

Best Officiant
Mark was amazing, from the first email he was very responsive and assuring. When we did our first meet in person he went over everything, answered all questions, and then after the meet sent over a draft of the ceremony. It was exactly what we envisioned and even during the ceremony he threw in some jokes that a lot of guest (and us) loved. There were a few guest that came up to us during the reception and said they loved Mark and thought he was the best officiant. They were correct about that, he truly was the best. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect ceremony and it was because of Mark.

A Breath of Fresh Air
Mark is a very fun personality and he would even describe himself as a different kind of reverend. At first we were a little worried about this but during the ceremony he was truly amazing. His quick whit and timely humor made everyone at our ceremony laugh. It made it much less stressful for us as we were able to be ourselves and relax instead of being so tense during the greatest moment of our lives together. Pre-wedding he responded to emails quickly and made sure he was in contact with all other vendors to make sure his timing was correct and he provided the best service he could. It seemed to not just be a job for him but truly something he loved to do. I would highly recommend him for any wedding!

Mark...you are the best! We are so grateful for you being able to preform our ceremony after we had to postpone our wedding due to the Caldor fire. You had us and our guests laughing.
We also loved your classes and appreciate everything you put into speaking with couples and helping facilitate a loving relationship.
Words cannot express our gratitude fully. Thank you.

We knew immediately after meeting Reverend Mark via Zoom that he was who we wanted to marry us. He was extremely kind, funny and took his role very seriously. He has become a dear friend and is someone who has made an incredible impact in our lives. We had so many people come up to us after our ceremony telling us how incredible he was and how much they enjoyed his wisdom, advice and poems. Reverend Mark, we look forward to our next call with you as husband and wife. Thank you for making our big day truly the best day ever!!

Perfect officiant
Mark officiated my husband and my wedding ceremony, and he made it incredibly special. Since it was just going to be my husband and me at the ceremony, Mark suggested we use Logan Shoals in South Lake Tahoe as our wedding location which was idyllic. Because he made an effort to get to know about us prior to the wedding, the ceremony was very personal and moving. Mark made us feel like he cared and that meant a lot to us. And he went above and beyond by personally taking our marriage license to the county to have it recorded and then sent us a certified copy within a day of us getting married. In addition, he sent us an email with the next steps for me as far as getting my name changed. Overall, Mark was perfect and we would recommend him to anyone looking for someone to make their wedding day exactly what they want.

Officiant for a sweet and fun ceremony!
Mark was responsive, experienced, and fun! He guided us through every step of the sometimes confusing process of being legally married and designing a unique and personalized ceremony. He's a jokester so you have to be ok with some off the cuff jokes in your ceremony :) Thank you Mark for everything!

Wonderful!
Mark E. Frady is absolutely wonderful! He really took the time to help us figure out how we wanted to set the tone of our wedding. He offers an optional premarital class (highly recommend, it really helped us with communication and expectations for each other.)
Mark is a wonderful speaker, we've had more realatives and friends ask us for his information than we ever expected. I'm very grateful that he was able to marry us where we wanted. He's an absolute gem and very communicative. He really took the time to make sure we were comfortable with what was being said and our vows.

Mark was an absolute dream to work with!!!
I can't begin to express how thankful we are that our wedding planner found Mark to officiate our ceremony. After having to reschedule our wedding three times due to COVID we opted to elope with a small ceremony in Lake Tahoe. Although the day was not what we originally planned, it turned out better than we could've imagined and we are so thankful for Mark for his words and advice that allowed us to truly focus on our love and on the Lord during our ceremony. Upon meeting Mark you'll find that he is incredibly down to earth and one of those people you feel like you've known forever. On top of it all, he was incredibly helpful with the logistics and paperwork of everything both before and after the wedding. He is truly one of a kind and I would recommend him to anyone getting married in the Lake Tahoe/Reno area!

Excellent officiant for your big day!!
Reverend Mark Frady is by far the best officiant I have worked with over my many years as a wedding coordinator. He took the time to get to know the couple & personalize the ceremony according to their style/preference. He was timely, professional, & very personable to all. He worked alongside me & my team to create a seamless ceremony. Mark also did an impeccable job handling all the necessary paperwork, post event. I would highly recommend Reverend Mark to all!

Mark was extremely responsive and he was able to accommodate an earlier wedding for me and my new wife. Due to a major snow storm, we had to leave in a rush to beat the storm. Mark provided a memorable day with his kind words and special poem that was perfect for the moment.

A ceremony to remember
Choosing Reverend Mark Frady to officiate our Lake Tahoe wedding was the best decision we made. Mark is a welcoming, patient, and magnanimous man. He hosted a remarkable ceremony and made both of our families feel so welcomed. Moreover, Mark prepared a wonderful officiation that flowed very well and brought warmth to our special day. From initially meeting Mark to getting married, Mark walked us step-by-step through this potentially complicated process and made it easier than ever. At no point during our wedding planning did we once worry about wedding logistics during or after the wedding. Mark guided us and treated us like we were his son and daughter. We highly recommend Mark with five stars!

Mark was the most amazing part of our wedding! He is kind and well spoken, and truly cares about his couples. We feel as we’ve known him for years. Our elopement ceremony was perfect, and he really did make our entire day. He can build a ceremony around exactly what you want. He gave us everything we wanted and more. Again, we couldn’t have found a more perfect person to officiate our wedding ceremony.

Beautiful ceremony that changed the course of a rough day
From our first meeting where we got to know Mark to the ceremony he performed everything was fantastic! With our wedding at the top of a mountain on what was a chilly day our guests got off to a rough start when the aerial tram that was supposed to take them to the top broke down. Our guests got the unique experience of taking shuttle buses up a dirt access road on the side of the mountain instead where they were dropped off outside in the cold for the ceremony. Mark - despite having to endure the same "unique experience" to get to the ceremony - delivered a beautiful ceremony (included at no extra charge were improvised quips about the tram breaking down that made our guests chuckle). We got many compliments from our guests about what a beautiful ceremony Mark performed - despite the fact all of them had a rough start to their evening. Thank you Mark for changing the course of our special day and putting it on a more positive trajectory!
We've also been attending the group course Mark offers and have been very impressed. It has forced us to ask each other some difficult questions and broach some uncomfortable topics on our own. Anyone considering taking the course should be aware - it's not going to be easy if you're honest with each other. Despite that we both feel it has helped strengthen our relationship and has provided a really strong framework for us to work through any issues that may arise in our marriage going forward. Would encourage anyone on the fence about taking the course to take it - Mark has once again been wonderful.
Thanks again for everything Mark !

Is there a 100 star option?
Reverend Frady was everything I could have wanted and more. We had never met in person until the wedding and my husband and I felt like we had known him for years! The ceremony was a perfect mixture of humor, emotion, and seriousness. I am not religious but my husband comes from a Catholic family and Mark did such an amazing job of balancing what we each wanted. We had so many compliments on him after the ceremony. Not to mention, your relationship with him does not end after your wedding. Reverend Frady is committed to walking the journey of marriage with you and your spouse for as long as you’d like. I feel so lucky to have met him and have him be a part of our special day. Book him. You will not regret it!

Mark was called by last minute to perform our wedding and he was able to give us a beautiful wedding ceremony. He was professional and caring throughout our whole experience with him. He made us feel comfortable and calmed us as we had came into so many struggles the day of our wedding. He was also kind enough to stop by our home to drop off our paperwork that we will need for name changes. All in all he saved the day and made it a beautiful one for the records. Thank you!

Such an amazing job!!!
I loved having Mark officiate our wedding. He was really great throughout the process. We were a little hesitate but ended up taking his marriage class too prior to the wedding and ended up really enjoying it and getting to know more about each other!!! It also made the wedding day nice as we were comfortable with Mark. He could tell that we were nervous during the ceremony and really took time to make it more personal and make us laugh. We had so many compliments from family and friends about how personal and yet relaxed the ceremony was. He really took our input for what worked for us for the ceremony and made it everything we wanted!!!! I highly recommend Mark as your officiant he did such an amazing job!!!!

Amazing! Best day ever!
Mark was wonderful! We Skyped with him prior to our wedding since it was a destination wedding. He made our ceremony personal and entertaining for our guests and my fiancé (now husband) Matt and I. He had great energy, prayed with us before our ceremony and was very laid back. We are likely bias but it was the best wedding ever!

Mark is as good as they come!
Mark was absolutely wonderful every step of the way. His premarital counseling course is extremely beneficial (which we plan on continuing even now that the wedding is over), and he made our ceremony perfect for us—it was very much tailored to us as a couple. All of our guests said it was the best ceremony they’ve ever been to, and I’d have to agree. We could not have asked for anyone better to marry us, and Mark truly made an effort to get to know us on a personal level. To us, choosing the right officiant was one of the most important aspects of the wedding planning, and I can say that we, without a doubt, succeeded. We couldn’t be happier with our choice—thank you Mark! We look
forward to our future counseling sessions with you!

Mark is Awesome!
Mark was an incredible, genuine and memorable part of our special day. My wife & I really felt comfortable with Mark, from the first time we met and we began to know each other. Obviously Mark is providing a service, but we never felt like just another client. Our day was specially tailored to our expectations and desires. Mark really won us, and our guests over. I received many compliments after the ceremony about how funny, genuine & memorable Mark was. Thank you for setting such an amazing tone for the rest of the day Mark! We’re also looking forward to the classes =)

Made everything run smoothly!
Mark was great! He was friendly, professional, and officiated my wedding beautifully which is all I could ask for. All my family said he was great. He even helped me out when my veil was blowing around in the wind during the beginning of the ceremony by tucking it so it doesn’t blow around which I appreciated! Thank you Mark! I highly recommend him :)

We are so happy we chose Mark to officiate our wedding! Our wedding was a destination wedding, but we had the chance to meet Mark once beforehand and then through his webinar class (which we really enjoyed). Mark is such a great man and you feel like you've known him your whole life the minute you meet. Our ceremony was full of love, humor, great advice and words of wisdom. We will cherish our wedding ceremony forever. Thank you Mark!!

Mark is amazing!
Reverend Mark was AMAZING! He was everything that we wanted to have as our officiant. We found him pretty soon after we got engaged and he was always there for us whenever we had questions throughout the year. His marriage class was also amazing, and he’s so flexible with everything. We are very thankful to have had him be a part of our wedding day - he made the ceremony so special. He cracked us up and made the whole crowd laugh. We felt so comfortable around him, and we were sad to have him go after the ceremony. We HIGHLY recommend having Mark as your officiant (and marriage counselor as well!!!) thank you so much Mark!! Love, Logan and Megan

Best minister ever
Mark is the best, he made our wedding so fun and special. He fit in with all our friends and family and made them feel like they were all a special part of the day. Everyone is still talking about him. He is amazing, we are so glad he was able to be a part of our day. He was so much fun and was a great help with everything.

Great officiant
My husband and I are so glad we chose Mark to officiate our wedding! He was very personable, friendly to our family and friends, and all our guests loved him! He offered a pre-marriage course you can take which helps to give little tips and tricks to make your future marriage great and also allows you to get to know Mark better so it's not just some stranger marrying you. He lets you review and modify your ceremony script to your liking and he has a great personality so there were little adlibbed jokes and funny remarks throughout to make it more light hearted and interesting. If we could choose all over again we'd still pick Mark. And he offers to provide marriage guidance even after you get married if you ever needed it. What more could you ask for :)

We love Reverend Mark!!
Reverend Mark was amazing!!! We had him for our wedding in November. We had asked for a Christain based ceremony, and it had perfect parts for faith, seriousness, and he also balanced it with some fun suprises (which I had told him that was fine). I received so many compliments on how well he balanced the seriousness and importance of getting married but also made it fun for everyone. People told me that it felt like they were also renewing our vows. Reverend Mark is such a nice and thoughtful man, gave us a whole packet of advice and what to do for name changing, etc, and also offers a marriage counseling course. Mark- thank you so much for the most amazing and rememberable wedding!

Very helpful and knowledgable
My husband and I signed up for one of Mark's packages that did not include his 8 week class. He was kind enough to add the class for us anyway. It was really great to get to know Mark during those 8 weeks and made meeting him the day before the wedding feel really relaxed. We knew we could trust him to make our experience great.
Mark came up with our vows for us which were exactly what we were looking for. He sent us his whole script for the wedding and allowed us to send feedback for what we liked and if we wanted anything removed.
He helped us stay relaxed on the big day and really felt like an old friend.
Would highly recommend his services for anyone local or coming from out of town like we were.

Mark was absolutely fantastic. He personalized everything exactly as we wanted, but also added so many sweet and funny moments that got a good laugh out of everyone. Our ceremony was beautiful and our guests all mentioned how lovely it was. The fact that Mark also clearly cares about the marriage beyond just the day of is a huge bonus and just helps you feel supported on the day of. Strongly recommend to anyone in need of a great guy to deliver on a beautiful wedding ceremony.

I have no criticism. Mark communicated quickly, thoroughly, and well prior to our wedding. On the day of the ceremony he showed up on time and everything went as we discussed. His cheerful, friendly nature made him a welcome addition among our guests and family. Most of all I appreciated discussing God centered values before and after the wedding.

Mark is the best! Not only does he make sure you're comfortable with every single thing he will be saying during your ceremony but he takes the time prior to your wedding to truly get to know you as a couple. From multiple surveys, phone calls, even FaceTime if you want, Mark makes sure he's not just performing a ceremony but actually joining two people together in marriage. Not to mention, he is one of the nicest and most genuine people I have ever met. I highly recommend you have him be a part of your special day.

I searched forever for the perfect Reverend on google, yelp, etc and stumbled upon Mark. It must have been our lucky day because I couldn't have asked for a better overall experience. He's attentive, responds to emails quickly, met us at the Carson City Courthouse to get our marriage certificate, and went above and beyond to make sure our wishes were granted for the ceremony. During the actual ceremony I was blown away, as were our guests. I got so many comments afterwards about how we found him and that he nailed it! He helped us with writing our vows, which had some in tears, and he stepped in at the perfect times to make sure things stayed funny and lite. Seriously couldn't have imagined anyone better to marry us and I can honestly say it was the best day of my life, due in part, to Mark (and my wonderful husband of course!).

Mark is truly an amazing person! He really cares about the couples he marries. We didn't have anyone in mind to perform out wedding ceremony. Mark came highly recommended. We met with him several months before the wedding and knew right away that we wanted him to marry us. He is very professional. He wrote the ceremony and it turned out beautifully! We highly recommend Mark Frady.

Choosing all your vendors for your wedding day can be extremely stressful, especially for destination weddings. We chose Mark Frady to marry us in Incline Village and he came highly recommended by our planning services as well as the venue in which we married. We couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect ceremony. He was so organized and professional from start to finish. He even offers marriage enrichment classes and has an extremely high track record of couples that have stayed married. He worked with us to provide the ceremony we both envisioned and even gave us the entire ceremony to look over to make sure it was exactly what we wanted.
He was so nice to all of our guests and families and everyone truly enjoyed him. Many people approached us after to let us know he was the best Reverend ever and they truly loved him! He had us all laughing and enjoying every minute of the ceremony. People always tell you that your wedding day is over as quickly as you blink, and it is very true. I tell everyone that researching your vendors is very important to a successful wedding day to give you both everything you ever dreamed of.
I am so happy we chose such an amazing person to perform our marriage vows and ceremony. This was so important to both of our families and all of our friends who joined us.
Thank you Mark for beyond exceeding our expectations and we highly recommend you to anyone getting married in the area! We appreciate everything you did for us along the way to make this such a magical and truly memorable day.
We truly appreciate you!
Love, Michelle & Chris

Mark was wonderful, he took the time to really get to each of us and to really personalize our ceremony. We had a delay in ceremony due to rain and he took it in stride and helped us to remain calm and confident that everything will turn out beautifully. He was very informative and helpful in the wedding license procedures a well as helpful in the changing of name process. Mark is a very warm, friendly, and inspiring person who accepted all our family and made our ceremony beautiful. We were truly blessed to have him a part of our day!

Mark was such fun to work with! We didn't get in on his classes before hand but we plan to do them soon. For our ceremony he had people laughing and said all the right things. It was just perfect. We got married in Tahoe and Mark is an amazing officiant if anyone is looking for one! He is so professional and takes care of everything especially when you are from out of town and are unsure of what you need to do regarding the marriage license, etc. We are so happy we met Mark and decided to have Mark officiate our wedding! :)

Mark came very highly recommended to my husband and I by our wedding DJ. When our other wedding vendors were informed that we had selected Mark to officiate at our wedding, they were all very excited and had nothing but great things to say about Mark as well. My husband and I found Mark to be extremely warm and friendly, and he's got a great sense of humor. He tailored our ceremony to us, provided us with a copy of it a couple of weeks prior to the wedding, and encouraged us to review it and make edits to it if we wanted to. On the day of the wedding, Mark executed the ceremony beautifully, improvising a bit throughout, which kept things light and allowed the ceremony to flow smoothly and effortlessly. My husband and I were very pleased, as were our guests. We received multiple compliments from our guests regarding his demeanor and humor. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for an officiant!

My husband and I just love Mark! He was amazing! We took his marriage classes (included in the fee) and I highly recommend couples taking it. They have really helped my husband and I a lot already. Mark's ceremony was so beautiful and personal. Our guests have told us that it was the most beautiful ceremony they have ever been to. He really takes a lot of time to get to know you and spends a lot of time working with you on the ceremony. During the ceremony Mark mentioned forgiveness. The next evening after our wedding my husband and I went to Need For Speed which is a go-cart ride. My husband bumped his car in to the back of mine extremely hard. I had a minor case of whiplash. I was super mad for the next 15 minutes, but I remembered what Mark said about forgiveness. So I forgave my husband and I have to say I felt a lot better after I forgave him. Mark will forever be in our lives and we want to take his marriage classes again in a few years. Also included in Mark's fee is free marriage counseling for life. I would highly recommend Mark to perform your wedding1

Mark was the ultimate professional. From the moment we met him, we immediately felt at ease with him overseeing our big day. Since we weren't established at a church, we had a lot of anxiety over who would officiate for us. My family, friends, and guests loved him! He's so well spoken and professional- even going as far as filling the dead space right before the ceremony and warming up the crowd! My parents were beyond pleased with him & my recommendation stands at 5 stars! Thank you Mark!

We did a destination wedding in Lake Tahoe and found Mark through our photographer. He really took the time to get to know us and skyped with us several times to talk with us. He was supposed to come to our rehearsal, but due to the biggest blizzard and snow storm that Lake Tahoe had seen in 20 years, he was forced to turn around on Hwy 50 on our rehearsal day. So I was nervous about our wedding the next day...I just wanted it to go perfectly and be personal. Well he showed up for our wedding day and was awesome!! It definitely was not his first rodeo! He was personal and made me the ceremony very original. It was definitely specific to us. We wanted a religious, Christ centered wedding and he delivered. He is responsive and punctual (two very important things when looking for a minister). Definitely use Mark for your wedding!

Rev. Mark gave my husband and I the most beautiful ceremony in Tahoe. After researching various officiants we chose Mark because if his warm, kind, and personal demeanor. Our ceremony was the perfect blend of intimacy, sincerity, and light humor. Mark was very accommodating of our many wedding "hiccups", such as when I changed the venue and ceremony time the day prior to the wedding! He was also incredibly patient! We never felt rushed, pressured, or like we were on borrowed time- which was nice since I was late to my own ceremony and our toddler caused many disruptions throughout the ceremony. I would highly recommend Mark for a truly memorable and meaningful ceremony!

Reverend Mark was a blessing to have marry us! He truly cares about his couples, and even offers a pre-marital class (via Skype if needed!). This class was incredible, enlightening, and inspiring. Mark teaches his couples how to be the best husbands and wives they can be, and how to reconcile with one another when we stumble. This class was a great opportunity for Rev. Mark to get to know my husband and I, and the time spent with Mark truly made our ceremony unique and intimate. It felt like we had known him for years. Rev Mark took our wishes into account when creating our personalized and unique wedding ceremony; we could not have been happier when we read them. Our ceremony was romantic, funny, and truly captured the essence of us as a couple.
Thank you Reverend Mark for making our wedding a dream come true. We are so lucky to have found you, and could not have asked for more!

From the first moment we met Mark, Fernanda and I knew we had found the perfect Minister for our wedding.
His warmth and generosity of spirit shines through in everything he does.
Mark made our special day more special than we could ever have dreamed of, from choosing the location to organising the flowers.....even going as far as helping us with accommodation, photographer and hairdresser.
We can't recommend him enough or thank him enough.
The epitome of professionalism and hospitality.
Look no further than Reverend Mark E. Frady

Rev Mark Frady was fantastic as our wedding officiant. We had a little bit of a challenge finding someone to marry us since we were getting married out of state and after contacting many who were not a good fit, I ran across some reviews for Rev Mark and he sounded like a good fit. After first speaking with him, I knew that I wanted him to perform our ceremony. As luck would have it, he had a cancellation for our wedding day. He was very easy to deal with and the process was very simple. He had us fill out a detailed questionnaire as to better get to know us so that he could craft our ceremony to reflect us. Once we get back the rough draft of the ceremony, we realized that we wanted to customize it even more. Rev Mark had no problem whatsoever with all of our changes. He was great at the rehearsal and keep everyone laughing in freezing temps. He did a wonderful job on the ceremony and while had his iPad in front of him (in a book looking cover even!), it did not seem like he read it at all and was able to include some funny and poignant lines. He also kept everyone laughing when happy tears started to pop up. He even gave both sets of parents are souvenir copy of our wedding ceremony. He also takes care of the turning in the marriage certificate. Additionally he offers classes before or after your wedding.
I would recommend him to other couples, he will make sure your ceremony is just how you want it!

Mark is a great person. He is very easy to talk to and wants to get to know you as a couple to make your ceremony more personable. He's reliable, kind and wants to give you the best ceremony you can ask for. My wife and I are truly blessed we found Mark!

Just wanted to write a review to let everyone know how great Mark is. Many of our guests said that our ceremony was one of the most enjoyable ceremonies ever. He is a great speaker and really helped us write vows that fit our personalities and our beliefs. James and I are not religious, but Mark is so open minded and accepting of all people. I love being able to re-read our vows and relive the day. I can't wait to display them in our new home.
We also really enjoyed taking the marriage class with him before our wedding, and feel like we learned tools that will help us have a marriage full of honesty and communication. We plan to look at the book and redo chapters from time to time.
Mark also was very helpful and patient during our very crazy year and went above and beyond when we needed extra help with some very important things! Lots of oops on our part involved. We are so thankful that you took extra time for us. Thank you!

Mark Frady did an excellent job officiating our wedding in July 2016. He made us feel very comfortable, balancing the right amount of humor and seriousness for our wedding, and he was able to handle a large family and wedding party with ease. He created a beautiful ceremony script for us and was open to all of the revisions that we suggested to make it feel like our own. We are really pleased with our whole experience with Mark and are glad that we chose him as our officiant. One thing that sets him apart is that he is willing to have an ongoing relationship and help us through any difficult times we experience down the road. Thanks Mark for helping to start our marriage off great!

Mark was absolutely wonderful. What a warm and caring person. The ability to do pre-wedding marriage communication classes with him was very nice and gave us a chance to meet other couples he was officiating for in the future or even couples that he did officiate for in the past and they were just returning to do the class with him again . He always lets you know he is there for you as a couple in the future too , not just for one day, and it showed in his relationship with those such couples. Definitely one of the best finds for my husband and I who were getting married in a different state.

We could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding. He had an amazing attention to detail when it came to writing our ceremony scripts and allowed us to incorporate elements that we wanted into it. He was willing to assist in any way he could when it came to the ceremony and events within the ceremony. He communicated with the vendors informing them of what needed to be done and the order of the ceremony events. He also told everyone where to be and when, making the rehearsal as smooth as it could have been with the attendees. Thank you so much Mark for the time you took to make our wedding as amazing as it could be!

Hiring Mark for our ceremony was as big a blessing as it was a no-brainer.
Immediately upon chatting with him we could tell he was both a fantastic minister as well as a highly knowledgeable and organized professional.
All those traits shined through in a big way on our wedding day, but perhaps what delighted us most was how warm, affable, calming, and charming a person Mark is. Our ceremony was longer than most as it incorporated a number of Catholic and Filipino traditions, but with Mark in charge everyone remained captivated and engaged throughout. So much so, in fact, that multiple people asked us afterwards how long we'd known him, and where we found him. They didn't believe us when we told them we'd only just met him face-to-face that morning! (My husband and I live in NYC and we had a destination wedding at Lake Tahoe.)
Mark's as versatile as he is professional. He has a fantastic sense of humor that he injected at the perfect moments throughout our ceremony (some of our relatives are still quoting his lines.) He also worked with us to craft and incorporate a touching tribute to our dearly departed, and to maintain the reverent spirit we wanted for our ceremony. He handled all of the requisite paper work proactively and efficiently, and left us feeling nothing but gratitude for how well everything went.
There are seemingly hundreds of decisions you'll have to make for your wedding. Cross a big one off your list now ... Hire Mark -- you'll be very glad you did.

It's very hard to put into words just how incredible Mark was for us - before the wedding, during the wedding, and after the wedding! He has made a tremendously positive impact on our relationship and our lives! He was super attentive, involved, helpful and supportive. We loved his marriage class, we loved everything about Mark. We will never forget how wonderful it was to have Mark in our lives during one of the most exciting times of our lives. He also was our officiant on his birthday, so of course we sang him Happy Birthday on our special day! We love you, Mark! You are truly the best, one of a kind, and an inspiration to all of us. Thank you so, so much for everything - for guiding us in your marriage class, for being there whenever we need, for surprising us with gorgeous framed vows on our wedding day, for following up with us afterwards, for EVERYTHING! XOXO

Mark has a charm and sense of humor that's very helpful during the planning of a wedding. Our wedding was planned in just six weeks and Mark was very responsive and helpful. He did a phone interview, sent us materials that were helpful in getting married in Nevada, changing my name and coordinating other services. He even met us at the court house. He was amazing during the ceremony. He really made our day extra special.

Don't even think twice about going with Mr. Frady. We contacted him a month and a half before our wedding because our other officiant fell through. Within 2 weeks we had our final ceremony script! Even though we only knew Mark for 6 weeks it had felt like forever. He is so sweet, accommodating and so easy to talk to. He definitely keeps things entertaining during the service and had a us and our guests laughing throughout. He kept it short and sweet and a lot of our guests said it was one of the best ceremonies they had been to. They even thought he was my childhood pastor because the ceremony felt so personal. You get more than an officiant with him. He gives you a souvenir booklet of your ceremony, a free 8 week marriage enrichment class and free marriage counseling for LIFE! We couldn't have made a better decision.

Mark was great from the first phone call we had with him. To planning and walking us thru the time lines of the ceremony. He was very personable. He made it a point to not only get to know us thru phone calls and Skype. But also took the time to get to know our immediate family at our rehearsal dinner. My wife and I could not have been more happy with Mark from start to finish. Our guests still comment on what a wonderful job he did. We could not be more grateful that he was our officiant. He made our wedding ceremony a joyous and fun time for ourselves and our guests.

Mark E. Frady is very passionate about what he does and his passion comes through in a very beautiful way. We were fortunate to have been referred to Mark and to have him officiate our wedding. It was the first time getting married for both my wife and I, and Mark exceeded every expectation and vision of what we aspired the ceremony to be. He is kind, sincere, fun, easy going, professional, and made us feel very relaxed. He was in contact throughout the process and provided us with a lot of information leading up to the wedding that helped immensely. He was awesome to work with and a joy to get to know.
Thank you again Mark for your contribution to making our day a special and memorable one! We can't wait to take your class!

We first saw Rev. Mark at work at a friend's wedding in Tahoe. I got in touch with Rev. Mark about 4 months prior to our wedding, when we found out that our church could not provide the officiant services we required. From minute one Mark was kind, lovely, and easy to work with. He created a ceremony that was extremely personal, yet sparkly and full of personality. He handles things that come up on the fly with grace, style, and a sense of humor, including our unusual vows.
I would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a fun officiant. The feedback we received on our wedding was largely around how amazing our ceremony was - which to my knowledge is quite unique! I'd also like to add that the bride and groom were both in tears at the first wedding we saw Mark at, and he got them laughing so they could get through their vows with ease. All in all - amazing work!

Mark was SUCH a pleasure to work with. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and at ease on our wedding day. He met with us beforehand for about two full hours, answered any questions we had extremely promptly vie email (for months leading up to our wedding), ran the rehearsal ceremony and, finally, performed a beautiful ceremony for us on the day-of. He even sent me the script to review and edit prior to the ceremony with tons of suggested readings to choose from. We had so many guests tell us it was the most beautiful ceremony they'd been to. We chose to have Mark keep it short and sweet, with a few punchy bits for humor's sake throughout--and he nailed it. The vibe was exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend working with Mark on your wedding day.

Mark is an absolute gem! We got so incredibly lucky by booking him to officiate our ceremony. We completely went off of reviews and we are so glad we did. He added sincerity, humor and the ceremony flowed so well. I can't tell you how many compliments we have received about Mark. We would choose him again in a heart beat. He was very easy to get ahold of via email or phone. He followed up on everything we asked of him. Overall, he added so much to our day. We really got lucky choosing him! He allowed us to have some control over what was said and had some beautiful poems to choose from.

Mark is truly amazing and I am so happy we had the pleasure of having him a part of our special day. After reading his raving reviews, my husband and I had to speak with him and instantly knew that he was the one (when you know, you just know! ;)) He customized our ceremony and even printed it on beautiful stationary which was passed out to our guests before the festivities. He also placed our marriage certificate in a beautiful frame which is now proudly displayed on our bookshelf. We are extremely happy with our wedding and even though there were many amazing moments throughout the day, my favorite moments were in the ceremony and it was largely because of the special touches that Mark added. He also offers a great premarital class, which we took before our wedding and highly recommend to all of his couples. My husband said he would take that class every year if we could :) Thank you Mark for everything, we truly feel like we have a friend for life.

It would be difficult to write a review for Mark that isn't overly flowery. Sometimes reviews are too good to be true. Mark is just as good and authentic as they come. My husband and I had a short engagement and a very small and private ceremony for family, which we envisioned to be incredibly intimate and personalized. For knowing him over a little amount of time, Mark felt like family. We first met with Mark privately over a long breakfast and knew that he was the right fit for us. His playful humor and sincere sensibility.. his ability to listen and to storytell... his spiritual awareness. Mark will have his couples involved in crafting the ceremony at whatever capacity they want to be. He provided us a first draft well in advance and we met over a couple of Skype calls to discuss. We could always depend on him to be responsive and on time. Apart from the time and effort in writing and revising our ceremony with notes, Mark exceeded expectations with so many other small sweet surprises...(you'll see!) He spoils his brides and grooms. We feel fortunate to have found him. He will be a friend and also valuable resource as a counselor in our journey moving forward.

Mark is great. Simple! I read the reviews on this site before contacting him and thought they must be exaggerated, but no!
He was incredibly helpful and responsive during the run up to the wedding - helping us avoid delays in getting our licence and certificate, going to the licensing office with us twice, bearing with us very patiently when we changed the rehearsal time etc.
The "pre" wedding course Mark takes his couples through is also a huge bonus and we are getting a lot from it. In addition he is always there to talk to us if we need him and goes out of his way to be available. He really does go above and beyond and clearly loves what he does, which is always a pleasure to see and experience.
As for the actual ceremony, it was brilliant - very moving but also fun, with room for our personalities, not stuffy at all. All our guests commented on how great it was and how wonderful Mark had been.
In short, I'm so glad we chose to work with Mark and I'm so grateful to have him in my life as we navigate a new marriage and all the changes that entails.

My husband and I decided to elope at Wally's Hot Springs in Nevada in Winter 2013. During our drive down, we decided to at least try to find an officiant and found Rev Frady. He was so kind and flexible to have offered his time on such a short notice. He really allowed this time to feel a little more like an "officially planned" wedding. I felt like he truly cared for us and our marriage, in spite of not knowing us. So, thank you

When we were planning our wedding the one challenge we had was how to find the right Officiant for our ceremony. We were concerned since we do not regularly attend a church, but did want a stranger.
We were very fortunate to find Mark Frady. His warm personality, professional approach, and willingness to take the time to get to know us really made a huge difference. When the day of the ceremony arrived we really felt we had a relationship with Mark which made all the difference.
The ceremony itself was just what we wanted and felt very special. Our families were very happy.
Since our big day, Mark periodically follows up with us to make sure we are doing well and we know he is there if we need him. He certainly has not forgotten us, and it is very nice to have someone there for us.
