About

I've been doing this for over ten years now and have over 150 satisfied customers. Most of my business is word of mouth, friends telling other people about my work. I work with the couple to determine what the best ceremony is for them -- and then we add in whatever special moments will make their day unique to them. I'm very flexible in creating ceremonies, readings, and events. If I have not done a particular event before, I will research it and come back with several options that might suit your wedding. I've done a number of unique venues including the Ferris Wheel downtown. Since this isn't my day job, I keep my prices lower than the industry standard. My main focus is providing joy to others. I like that people are always happy and excited to see me. I've not officiated at a wedding where it wasn't a joyous occasion. I have had couples come to me and tell me that many officiants will not conduct marriage services for LGBTQ couples. I do not discriminate -- all couples are welcome.

Jeff was really easy to work with and so professional!! I reached out to Jeff about a home wedding ceremony and he replied and confirmed really fast. He also gave me the script well ahead of time so I could make any adjustments. On the day of, he came early to make sure we didn't need anything else. The ceremony was very sweet and I am so happy he was a part of it. After that he made sure to follow up on the mailing of our certificate. We did not have to worry about anything Thank you again, Jeff!!

Jeffrey did a fantastic job as Officiant for our wedding. Everything from start to finish was extremely professional and handled with care and attention to detail. He helped make our day run smoothly, and both of us will be forever indebted to him for the work he did to make our ceremony as special as it was. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We had the most beautiful day celebrating our marriage with Jeff as the officiant. Everything went so smoothly! Jeff even wrote the vows, which were just perfect. 10/10, couldn’t be happier.

Jeffrey was, without a doubt, the best man for our wedding! He handled everything so well. Weddings can be a handful with everyone and all the emotions that can come with them. He always responded quickly, and went out of his way to make sure we felt taken care of. We couldn’t have done it without him! If he’s available for your wedding book him!!!

Jeff of Marks officiating was great to work with. We did not have anything specific in mind for our ceremony but Jeff was able to make up a draft based on what we wanted and let us tweak it as desired. He arrived early for the rehearsal and ceremony and was friendly and professional throughout the process.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is among the lowest in the area. Not because I am not worth it, but this isn't my full-time job, so I perform weddings for the happiness it adds to my life -- not the cash.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm a school teacher during the day, so I'm practiced in making things run smoothly and on time. I can project my voice so that I can be heard in the back of an open-air venue. I also write for pleasure, so I am good with words, and the ceremony's script will be written just for you.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I actually received my license to officiate at my sister-in-law's wedding. She decided that it was taking too long and then I was stuck with a license that I hadn't used.
