About
Planning your wedding ceremony should be one of the best experiences in your life. However, because you only do one (or two...) in your lifetime, it can be a bit nerve-racking. I have served people from a wide range of backgrounds and personalities and have gained the experience to help you navigate this extraordinary moment in your life with ease and confidence.
I am an ordained minister and can officiate your rehearsal and wedding, assist with writing your vows, and provide pre-marital counseling if desired.
I can also provide everything you need for your total wedding experience. Whether you are looking for a "day of" coordinator, a wedding concierge who can provide options and connections for every detail, or a wedding coordinator who will help you get "everything" done, I have the experience.
Some people are hesitant to consider a man for these roles; however, I am also a dad of 3 daughters and have walked this path with their weddings.
For most of today's busy couples, having the time to research all of the available options for all of the elements they want in their experience (rehearsal, ceremony, reception) is overwhelming. In my initial consultation with a couple, I help them formulate a big picture of their wedding experience and then map out the options and decisions they will need to make to create it. I can provide multiple options to consider for each element or do the research for them that will meet their expectations.
As a pastor, I have walked with people through a variety of life's circumstances and events. A wedding ceremony is one of those life moments filled with joy, passion, and hope. I truly enjoy helping people celebrate this special moment by providing a reassuring presence and confident leadership for the couple and the wedding party.

Marc was amazing! Instantly, we felt very comfortable using him to officiate our wedding. He is very kind and helped us feel very prepared for our big day. He was very responsive providing great advice and was able to put together a beautiful program in short notice for our wedding. I can't recommend him enough!

Although we threw this together on a very short timeline, Marc was more than willing to take the assignment. He showed up early and presided over a magnificent wedding. We had also forgotten a thing or two and Marc went out of his way to make it work.

We hired Marc to be our weddingofficiant just a few days before our big day. Originally, we had booked another officiant, but the experience felt overly transactional and lacked the personal connection we were looking for. From the moment we spoke with Marc, we knew it was the right choice.
Marc was extremely professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our ceremony special. He took great pride in crafting a unique script that perfectly reflected our story and personalities, and he personalized every detail exactly how we envisioned it.
We were so impressed by his professionalism, warmth, and dedication. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant and would wholeheartedly recommend Marc to anyone looking for a memorable and meaningful ceremony.
Details: Elopement • Christian • 20 guests or fewer • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal

Marc was such a Godsend! Me and my husband decided to elope and contacted Marc last minute. He not only fit us into his schedule but went above and beyond by taking photos and being so supportive to us throughout the process!

We are so thankful to have found Marc to officiate our wedding! He spoke clearly, confidant, and was professional. He also successfully stepped put of our "first kiss" photo!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
$300 for a typical ceremony. This includes writing the script and vows for the ceremony and officiating at the rehearsal and ceremony.
$500 for premarital counseling (4-6 sessions), includes writing the script and vows for the ceremony and officiating at the rehearsal and ceremony.
Wedding Coordinator roles will vary depending on the scope of what is requested. An free initial consultation will help clarify the request and then an accurate proposal can be submitted.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I typically schedule a time to meet with a couple so that we can get to know each other a little before they decide if I am right for their wedding experience and the services they need.
For a Wedding Officiant, we will discuss their ceremony and their interest in premarital counseling at the initial consultation. I will ask them to think through everything we've discussed and get back to me if they want to move forward. Once they have made that decision, we can schedule the appropriate number of subsequent meetings: 1-2 if it is just to officiate the ceremony, 4-6 if they choose premarital counseling.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
BA in Biblical Studies and Ministry.
25+ years of wedding ceremony experience
