    Mark from Special Moments was outstanding! He really listened to what we envisioned for our ceremony and presented it perfectly. His attention to personal details really brought our love story to life. I highly recommend him!

    Made it easy

    We had a micro destination wedding and Mark was helpful from start to end, understanding our specific requests and following all the way through. My sister liked him so much she is going to book him for her renewal.

    Superior quality and service

    Mark assisted us with our wedding, which was complicated because the bride and groom's families come from different cultures and spoke different languages. He helped us craft a service that met our needs, coached us through the process, and even assisted us in finding a venue to have the service at. He gave us excellent advice on creating a service that met our spiritual needs.

    Very professional

    Mark had a challenge working with us a couple coming from two very different cultures. He talked us through the process and crafted a service that was appreciated by our families and friends.

    Amazing Officiant

    Mark is an excellent officiant! He got to know us as a couple and made sure to hit on everything important to us in our ceremony. We received nothing but compliments from our family and friends. Thanks again for taking care of us! We are looking forward to working with Mark again in the future!

    Best day ever!

    I knew right away when my now husband and I met Mark that he was going to be a great choice for our wedding. Mark is professional, prompt in his responses, emotionally supportive & genuinely kind. Our wedding ceremony was absolutely precious and we highly recommend Mark to anyone who is looking for an officiant for their wedding. We feel very blessed and grateful to have met Mark. I have been to several weddings through the years and I can honestly say that Mark is the best wedding officiant.

    Wedding Officiant

    Mark was absolutely perfect for our special day. He communicated with us for months before the big day, he was on time to both the rehearsal and the wedding, and he personalized our ceremony script by getting to know us beforehand. He made sure everyone and everything was smooth and I couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Highly recommend him!!! Thank you so much, Mark!! You were the perfect addition to our special day!

    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.
