    Pastor Mark officiating my wedding :)
    Tanya P.

    I prayed to God to find the right person to officiate my wedding and happened upon Pastor Mark on Yelp. What stood out to me about Pastor Mark was that he custom wrote each ceremony and really made it personal. My husband is not a religious person and I am a believer in Christ Jesus and I appreciated how Pastor Mark was able to include everything that we both wanted in our ceremony without compromising God's word. Pastor Mark is very organized and punctual. I really appreciated that he cued us through the ceremony so we didn't have to worry about when to do stuff. He is also very kind and thoughtful-- he was so reassuring during such a hectic day. Though we opted to exchange simple "I do's" as our vows, the message Pastor Mark delivered on marriage was deep and meaningful and followed God's word. Our guests (Christian and non-Christian) kept saying afterwards how beautiful the ceremony was and asked how we found such an awesome officiant. ;) Thank you Lord for Pastor Mark!

    Pastor Mark officiating our wedding

    Pastor Mark officiated our wedding last month and we are so happy he did! He took the time to get to know us before our wedding and created a beautiful ceremony that was personalized to us and our story. Our family and friends could not stop raving about how amazing Pastor Mark is. He is so kind and we could feel just how caring he is. He took the time to call both my husband and I before the ceremony to check in and see how we were doing. He went above and beyond to even submit our wedding license himself to the county after our wedding. Unfortunately, our wedding license got wet in all of the wedding chaos before the ceremony and was sent back to Pastor Mark. He took the time out of his busy schedule to re-fill out all the paperwork and send it back to the county on behalf of us. We could not be more appreciative of him. Pastor Mark is the absolute best and I would highly recommend him!

    We cannot say enough to express our appreciation for Pastor Mark. We are blessed to have found him to be our wedding pastor. The very first time we talked on the phone, we felt very assured by his calmness, patience and his vast knowledge and experience as a pastor and wedding officiant. Then we met up a month before the wedding, and he sat with us for two hours to go through every detail of the ceremony. He carefully explained different options along the spectrum from very traditional to very modern and suggested different "ceremonies" inside of the wedding ceremony we could do. We ended up doing a few of them, among which the ring warming ceremony was especially loved by our guests. And now, we constantly feel the love and blessings of all our guests just by wearing and looking at our rings.:) Both our guests and us loved the sermonettes and the teachings. I think we will often go back to his messages to remind ourselves of the meaning of marriage and the duties to each other as husband and wife. We heard so many good things from our guests, especially our parents, about how much they appreciated the ceremony. It was a beautiful time thanks to Pastor Mark. Thank you and God bless you!

    My family isn't a huge church family and my husbands friends and family are. Pastor Mark did an amazing job of blending our ceremony. He customize our ceremony to about us as well as god. Before our wedding, he sits down with you and your spouse to get important details about you as a couple to make your ceremony personal. You can't go wrong with him :)

    Getting married by Pastor Mark, 8/29/15

    We found Pastor Mark on Yelp after hours of searching for the perfect wedding officiant and PERFECT is what we got! I received a call from Pastor Mark minutes after I submitted an online inquiry. He was very cheerful and informative -- so thorough that he answered all of my questions without me even having to ask them. We made arrangements for him, my fiancé and I to have FaceTime session in a few weeks (Skype was also an option). In that first phone call alone, he sounded so passionate about what he does, and I already had faith that it was going to be great working with him. When our meeting time came, my fiancé and I weren't too sure where to begin but Pastor Mark led us through every aspect of the ceremony, giving us options to use standard, traditional scripts; to switch it up with something modern; or even customized with our values and beliefs. He was open and honest with a lot of wonderful ideas but ultimately, he wanted us to feel 100% comfortable that our ceremony would be exactly the way we wanted it with no surprises. We were successful in roughly outlining our ceremony from start to finish. Our wedding took place this past Saturday, August 29th, and Pastor Mark made it so much more special than we had imagined. He took all the ideas we discussed and truly created something so beautiful that captured who we are and what we wanted to convey to each other, as well as to our guests. Many of our guests commented on how beautiful the ceremony was and how what Pastor Mark said, especially about love and marriage, deeply resonated with them. His distinguished voice was also clear, audible, kind and soothing -- as I had mentioned before, it was all perfect! Before, during and after the ceremony, Pastor Mark was always available whether it was to answer any questions or to check in with us to see how we were doing. The morning before the ceremony, we received a call from him to touch base with us and to wish us a good day. He arrived early to the ceremony to go over last minute details and within a few days after the wedding, he handled the rest of our paperwork to be filed with the city. Thank you Pastor Mark for your professionalism, as well as for making our day so amazing. We are grateful for everything you have done for us and are touched at how much time and care you put into working with us. It has been a pleasure!

    Words do not describe how perfect Pastor Mark is. I have nothing negative to say about him. My husband and I didn't have a rehearsal and he cued us and talked to everyone before the ceremony to make sure we were all on the same page. Guests kept coming up to us telling us how perfect the wedding ceremony was and everything about it from the sand ceremony, how my husband and I met, recognition and thanks to our parents literally everything he did was perfect. He did such a good job making everyone feel comfortable and even involved the congregation in or ceremony which was amazing! You can tell Pastor Mark has been doing this a long time and is passionate about his work. He is a great human being. 10 out of 10 would recommend him to everyone one I know and don't know!

    Pastor Mark is one of a kind. He performed the most beautiful, most thoughtful, and most personal ceremony I could have ever imagined! My guests talked about it all night and for days afterwards. He gets to know your story and shares it in a beautiful inspiring way. He called myself and my then fiancé the day before and the day of to check on us and remind us to eat and stay hydrated. He paid a visit in the bridal suite before the ceremony as well for a little pep talk. He provided my fiancé with a hanky just in case I cried. Which I did. He came up with ideas of how we could honor our parents, bless the rings, and do a sand ceremony with the kids. By far, the best investment we made at our wedding was to hire Pastor Mark! Truly and honestly.

    Pastor Mark was outstanding! The wedding script delivered was meaningful and not only touched us, but many hearts of our guests. We received many compliments of how beautiful the ceremony was due to Pastor Mark. From the beginning choosing a officiant, Pastor Mark made the process easy and relaxing. Pastor Mark made everyone comfortable during the wedding, and included the guests to be a part of the ceremony. If you want to add a special memory to your wedding, I would recommend Pastor Mark!

    Pastor Mark was a wonderful addition to our wedding, I don't think it would have been the same without him! We did a 1 hour zoom meeting two weeks prior to the wedding so he could gather our life story & personalities. He did an amazing job with everything he said at the ceremony. Very professional but also has a good sense of humor. With Pastor Mark everything was effortless on our end. I would recommend him to anyone! Thank you again!

    Kristen C.

    Pastor Mark was an absolute pleasure to work with. From beginning to end, he made sure that we felt comfortable and "ourselves." He was willing to do an unusual unity ceremony that we requested, and did a great job writing something up to match it! He had just the right amount of humor, and kept us feeling calm, collected, and comfortable. He had a "skype" interview with us that helped out A LOT. He walked us through the entire ceremony, beginning to end. He was willing to read the vows to us over and over so that we could customize everything to be EXACTLY what we wanted. He arrived at the venue early to check on us individually, and see how we were feeling. He reminded us what the day was about, and ensured us that we wouldn't have to "remember anything," because he had us taken care of. He guided us through the wedding ceremony flawlessly. I highly recommend hiring Pastor Mark. You won't regret it.

    Pastor Mark did a fantastic job.
    Johnny U.

    Pastor Mark did such a fantastic job on our ceremony. I can't even tell you the creativity, thought and prepping he put into this. It was perfect. There was not a dry eye in the audience. Everything was amazing. My wife and I come from Catholic backgrounds and we were concerned our parents would not be happy about not being in a church. Pator Mark put that worry to rest. Both of our parents were impressed by how beautiful the service was. Many of our guests came up to us after and told us what a wonderful job he did. He met with us via FaceTime on a handful of occasions in order to get some information from us. He used personal stories as well as readings from the bible, a hand tying ceremony, a wine ceremony and a special rose ceremony for our mothers. What I loved even more is how organized he was. We did not have to think at all during the ceremony. He very easily directs you through everything. Planning a wedding is stressful enough with all the details and what not. Save yourself some time and choose Pastor Mark to conduct your ceremony. I highly highly highly recommend Pastor Mark! Thank you, Pastor Mark! You did an amazing job!

    This is long overdue, almost a year, but I'm catching up on all the wonderful people who took part…read morein making our day memorable and for what was a beautifully intimate ceremony. I had delegated my now husband to find us an officiant and I gave him a few choices. After evaluating them together, we decided to have him contact Kristin and see what she would say. She mentioned that she usually liked to meet with the couple over zoom so we could get to know each other, have her know our story, and just get more comfortable with her. I loved how she has this huge document she shared with us about the different kinds of loves and prayers for people of all kind of religious backgrounds. I think the Zoom call was so important to get to know if we would like her and be comfortable with her since she would be our officiant. We immediately took to her and really liked her. She had a very calm and sweet demeanor about her and we got to know each other. I absolutely loved how she did yoga everyday and felt a connection with her. She organized everything for us, bringing us the papers to sign the day we got married, telling us what we needed to do, taking them when we were done and dropped it off for us. She was the absolute sweetest, communicated well, had recommendations for us and was a great resource since I had not done much research on what options we could do for our ceremony. Without her we wouldn't have known about Unity In Glass and decided to combine glass to represent our union. As a result we have something super memorable and beautiful from that day. I also never had to worry about this specific aspect of the day because she had it all handled. I highly recommend her and would suggest people to use Kristin's services with confidence!

    We were recommended by our wedding venue coordinator as she had worked with Kristin many times…read morebefore. So glad we had her as our officiant! Our first meeting through zoom allowed us to connect and get to know her well. She is so thorough and very passionate about what she does. We spent almost 2 hours talking about our personal lives as well as sharing with her our love story! I appreciated that. The day of the ceremony, she arrived early to speak to us individually and to check on how we were doing and how we were feeling. She reminded us how to stay calm and present during the ceremony and to imagine our safe space between her and my soon to be husband and I .This helped a lot! She is so therapeutic, angelic and has a certain kind of aura that is so genuine and positive. If you are looking for someone to officiate your marital union- one of the most important days of your lives, please go with Kristin!

Despite not knowing them, I did not feel the least bit uncomfortable sharing such an intimate occasion with them. We got married at the La Jolla location, and it was gorgeous. We arrived a little bit late due to traffic (fourth of July weekend, we didn't account for that well enough), and they were understanding of that. They were both very professional, and very caring. Our ceremony was beautiful. It was short and simple, yet not too short. They also gave us a beautiful little gift as a keepsake for our day. After the ceremony, we thanked them, took a few pictures, and said goodbye to them, and my husband, brother-in-law, and I were able to go venture around the rocks and the beach for more pictures. I am so glad we found them. The price we paid for our perfect wedding was an insane value. My brother in law was our photographer, so we had an insanely affordable wedding. And for how amazing it was, I couldn't be more pleased with the affordable price. Correspondence with them prior to the wedding, as well as after the wedding, were kind and professional, and couldn't be more thankful we found out about Elope to San Diego. We wanted a small, simple, and stress-free, yet beautiful day and that is exactly what we wanted. I will continue to recommend them at every chance I get.

I searched endlessly on Google for wedding officiants and elopement packages and the prices were exorbitant for what they actually offered. I chose to go with Wendy because she was exactly what we needed. We are lesbians from Texas who wanted to visit San Diego and enjoy our wedding trip, instead of getting bogged down by the minutiae. From the get-go, Wendy informed us of everything we needed to do very clearly-- fill out the application, provide payment, and choose our location. During every step of the process, I felt assured that Wendy had it under control and she checked in with us often. We mostly communicated through email, which was always courteous and effective. It became very clear during our first phone call just how much work Wendy was doing in the background: communicating with another notary about our license application, preparing all the forms in advance, mailing out our application, keeping us informed. She even reminded us about rings, our vows, our outfits, etc. She does what she does to ensure our day is as stress-free as possible. All we had to do was be in love and say "I do." Wendy even accommodated us at the last minute by changing our location and coming to our hotel. If you are gay, Wendy is the one to marry you. She is extremely professional, compassionate, brave, and if it matters to have someone who understands and is part of the community like it was to us, do not hesitate. My wife and I wrote our own vows and when we read them, we knew Wendy was wishing us the best in our marriage and that is so so important. To be seen and recognized and guided into this next part of our lives together by one of our own felt like we were a part of something larger and Wendy connected us to that community that we have yet to find in Texas. It was such a wonderful experience that I hope we keep in touch with Wendy because she made our day so special with her charisma, her stories, and her wisdom. After our ceremony, she took pictures, had us sign our papers, and left to go mail the application for us so we didn't have to do anything but enjoy being married. She kept us posted when she mailed the application, when her check was cashed for the certificates, and when I showed her our marriage certificates which came folded (not Wendy's fault), she reached out to a local TV station to get to the bottom of why the SD County Recorder was folding official documents. Me, I'm just happy to be married, but it feels good to know Wendy is fighting for us to have a non-folded marriage certificate. All in all, you cannot beat the service that Wendy provides. She communicates clearly, provides outstanding service, and truly cares about your wedding day. For us, Wendy is not just the woman who married us, but the soul who witnessed our love and we'll forever be grateful for her.

We do not come from a religious tradition, but it was important to us to have a ceremony that still "ceremonial" and full of meaning; Bethel helped us do exactly that.

Bethel is highly organized and professional, and brings a warmth to every interaction that was just great to work with.
