- Comfortable? Ummm, YEAH! He felt like family. We had a connection since the minute my husband and I met him! He was so genuine.
- He made the ceremony personal to what WE wanted. He accepted every opinion we brought to the table. We had an idea of what he would talk about but standing up there and listening to his words, they were so powerful to my husband, myself, and our guests. Loved every minute of it. I wish i had a script of what he said....
- We had our grandparents who are no longer with us involved, we had a part where our parents were involved in blessing us. We had our grandparents read an excerpt from something we chose and we also are huge athletes so we decided to have something special for our unity portion of the ceremony. We decided to combine gatorades instead of candles or sand or anything traditional. Reverend Mark was ALL for everything and helped us plan! What an amazing person!
- Friend: How long have you known your Officiant? Me: 9 months? Friend: it felt like he knew you and Nick since you were young! What an amazing ceremony!

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Reverend Mark Larose interviewed us prior to putting together the ceremony. After speaking with him I really felt like he was trying to get to know us and our preferences to integrate that into our ceremony. He was very organized but also flexible to our needs.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? Mark was a creative, flexible and passionate contributor to our wedding experience. Have a clear idea? Tell Mark and he will implement it, plus build upon it. Not sure what you want? Mark will draw on his abilities and experiences to help you figure it out. I recall a special unity ceremony my wife and I wanted to do but were not sure how to implement. Mark helped us draft, modify and implement that event, coordinating with the hotel on details the day of the ceremony.
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? Mark had us relive special memories with each other to use in his comments during the ceremony. We also did a special event of rose presentation to our mothers and remembering those who were not with us. Mark was very responsive to us the entire time always communicating and making sure he helped us prepare for the wedding. He truly made it possible for us to focus more on the experience of the day instead of logistical details.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? That was the funniest and most fun ceremony I've ever been to

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? What else can I say other than Reverend Mark is truly amazing. I can't put into words how grateful I am to have met him. He's a genuine guy not only looking to make your wedding ceremony perfect, but to help you with everything along the way. Reverend Mark was always there for me and responded to me immediately with any questions and concerns I had. And to a bride that is very important! He understood completely what we were looking for in our ceremony but delivered more than I could have ever dreamed of! He had people laughing and crying, and touched many hearts. To this day, my friends and family are still talking about how special he made our ceremony. Thank you so much Reverend Mark, you've become a dear friend!

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Reverend Mark Larose made us feel comfortable from the moment we met. He's a really special person with an incredible personality. His presence is calming and he's a true professional. He's seen so many weddings that he just knows what to expect and how to calm you down should anything unexpected arise.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? As much as I always like to be in control and know what to expect, Reverend Mark still managed to surprise with a couple of things during the ceremony that we weren't expecting but absolutely adored! The ceremony was perfect.
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? Since I'm Jewish and my husband is Catholic, yet neither of us is particularly religious, we wanted a ceremony that was more spiritual than religious. Reverend Mark gave us exactly what we wanted. He helped us choose readings and made suggestions we never would have thought of. We wrote our own vows with the help of Mark as well.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? My friends told me that if they were ever to renew their vows one day they would like to have a ceremony like the one performed by Mark, as it was so personal and it wasn't the usual "I , so and so, take you, so and so, to be my husband...blah blah blah." There was so much depth to it. People left the ceremony knowing my husband and I more intimately from the words that Mark spoke about us.

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Our ceremony was beautiful. It was perfect and exactly what we had hoped for. Mark's personality and words were perfect and fit us well. His interview questions were personal and utilized well in the ceremony. He is open and honest and willing to share his life stories and words of wisdom. He created a peaceful, respectful and kind atmosphere and seemed to truly understand our relationship. His message was perfect for us. He even told a few jokes when the time served. Mark loves life and seems to love his career. Overall, Mark is a wonderful man with a true gift.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? Prior to the start of the wedding, I was stressed because of the lack of professionalism and organization of the caterers (Frungillo) and he was able to make me and my girls laugh and relax. He also did several favors for me which was wonderful, but not necessary. This was much appreciated.
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? We added unique readings that we found on our own. We included time to give thank you notes and flowers to our mothers, give peace and love to our guests, and nailed love letters and a bottle of wine into a box to be opened on our 10 year anniversary. We will then rewrite our letters and close the box for another 10 years. Mark was able to include everything we wanted in the ceremony. He also gave us several ideas to make the ceremony more unique to who we are as a couple.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? So unique and personal, yet beautiful and traditional.

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? We cannot say enough wonderful things about Mark. He was the most professional and caring oficiant, always making sure things were done well and in a timely manner and always making sure that we were happy at every step of the way. He helped to encourage us to enjoy our wedding and took away so much of the stress that is associated with planning a ceremony. He sat down and talked with us for two hours the first time we met him, allowing us to tell him our story. This allowed him to write an incredibly personal ceremony for us. We would recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much!

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Yes! Five minutes after meeting Rev. Mark, we felt as if we had known him for years! His amazing personality makes it so easy to talk to him and truely have a strong connection.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? Rev Mark had the most unique, beautiful ideas for the ceremony and he presented these ideas in a way that didnt make you feel pressured to use them (we did because he gave us amazing ideas).
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? We personalized our wedding by including our family in parts of the ceremony (1 example: My Father in Law presented the rings to us).
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? We are still getting phone calls from family and friends about Rev. Mark! The guests LOVED him. We have recieved numerous compliments about how he actively included family and friends and how personal and love filled he made the ceremony.
