Weddings

Reverend Mark Riddle is a non-denominational Christian minister. Whether you choose a traditional wedding service, or you prefer a simple ceremony or private service in your home, Rev. Mark Riddle is available to serve you and your family during your special day.

I have a sense of humor while getting to know couples and helping them plan personalized and memorable weddings. Over the years' my experience as a pastor and wedding officiant brings a calming presence to what can be a stressful time. Creating something beautiful with and for couples is my desire. I enjoy meeting people and helping them discover the words and rituals for the commitments they want to make to one another. All couples, whether religious or not, have values that are important to them to be expressed in their ceremony. I do my best to discover these values to create a personalized ceremony.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Our first meeting usually takes place at a coffee shop as a get-to-know-you time, as well as a time for me to hear your hopes for your wedding. After the first meeting, I work on a draft of the ceremony, considering your wishes. Email addresses and phone numbers are exchanged to be in touch as plans are made.

The second meeting usually takes place at the wedding venue if I am participating in the rehearsal. We would also go over the ceremony draft at that time and I would make adjustments and changes as necessary. Wedding rehearsal (if requested) and wedding day!
