Celebrant

Mark is a registered “Religious” Marriage Celebrant. However this does not mean that the services in which he officiates are “religious” in the sense of lots of ritual and formality. Mark is sort after by couples who are not actively worshiping in any church, but would like their weeding ceremony to reflect God’s love and grace, without it being “preached at” or full or church ritual or jargon which can make people feel uncomfortable. Mark works with couples to ensure the content of their ceremony reflects their unique personal qualities, ensuring the ceremony is warm, engaging and joyful.

Similarly, Mark is highly regarded for officiating at funeral services which celebrate the lives of people with warmth, dignity and sensitivity, commending departed loved ones into God’s hands without being “religious”.

Mark has officiated at hundreds of weddings, funeral and infant dedications (christenings), a ministry which brings him great joy and fulfillment.

For 25 years Mark has been a trained Facilitator of PREPARE/ENRICH, the leading relationship assessment and skills-building program used nationally and internationally, built on a solid research foundation and proven to significantly improve a couple’s relationship.   Combined with his coach training and experience, Mark is highly skilled as a relationship coach, and has served couples preparing for marriage and those in long-term committed relationships who are either experiencing difficulties or are doing well and want to experience an even greater dimension of joy and fulfillment within their relationship.
