From Elizabeth Gordon’s family: ‘We would like to pass on how extremely impressed we were with the kind and sympathetic manner in which Mark conducted the  ceremony for Betty. The information given to Mark was portrayed brilliantly and was commented on by several people who were attending a humanist ceremony for the first time. His whole demeanor in dealing with such a sad occasion was very reassuring and we would certainly recommend a Humanist ceremony to any of our relatives and friends should they require a non-religious service.’

From Jane Hammond’s family: ‘The whole family was impressed by Mark’s behaviour. He was caring at the meeting and conducted the actual ceremony with efficiency, dignity and lightness of spirit that transformed the proceedings. His  readings were sensitive and sincere. As a family, we could not commend Mark more highly for such duties. We trust he will bring his qualities to many more families.’

From newlyweds John & Kumari: ‘Mark, a huge heartfelt thank you for being the perfect celebrant for John and me. From the first meeting we both knew we were in safe hands. We were so nervous about what to do but your experience and genuine care immediately put us at ease. On the day, your perfect blend of humour and gravitas – a lightness of touch that doesn’t detract from the seriousness of the occasion – is what made it ideal for us.’

From newlyweds Bridget & Paul: ‘Mark, thank you so much for officiating at our wedding on Saturday. We loved it and so many people commented afterwards on what a lovely and heartfelt ceremony it was and how beautifully you conducted it. One friend’s words were that it gave him ‘a warm feeling that lasted all day.’ We really were thrilled with it.’
