Mark Veary

I wanted to use my faith to serve others more effectively in my retirement.

I'm originally from London, UK, and moved to the USA 14 years ago for work.

I offer non-denominational, inclusive, and affordable wedding preparation classes and officiating tailored to you as a couple. Whether you’re planning a simple ceremony or something more personalized, I’ll work with you to create a warm, meaningful experience that reflects your values and story. As an independent officiant, you’ll work directly with me from planning through the big day, ensuring consistent communication and personal attention. My goal is to make the process stress-free, respectful, and memorable for all involved. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, inclusive wedding officiant and prep support, I’d be honored to help you get ready for “I do.”

I come from an evangelical Christian background and have come to take a more universal and non-judgmental approach to other religions and spiritualities.

I have a Christian faith background that has evolved over the years and now includes acceptance of people from all religious and non-religious backgrounds. So, this gives me a deep understanding of and connection with the people seeking to make their special day deeply meaningful. I am a member of the LGB community and have been married to my husband for 20 years.

I am currently located in Houston, Texas.

As a certified coach for over 16 years, I am also a qualified professional recovery coach with a private practice, working with people recovering from addiction. In addition to being a legal officiant, I serve the community as a Texas Notary Public.
