Mark Quigley

I'm an Ordained Minister providing Ministerial Officiant Services at weddings, baptisms, christenings, house blessings, funerals, rituals, and alternative ceremonies for both traditional and LBGTQ families - joining, celebrating, and welcoming all together by old tradition or by new. While I’m versed in, and am capable of performing most ceremonies, my primary focus is that of Wedding and CosPlay Wedding Officiant.

To avoid confusion - I'm a wedding officiant - not a wedding coordinator or wedding planner. I'm the wedding officiant, the marriage performer, the one who solemnizes your marriage after conducting the wedding ceremony and then after hearing you say "I do" can sign your state marriage license to make it legal.

I'm not a wedding planner nor a wedding coordinator, though I can help guide you in the planning and coordination of your own wedding by offering the contact information for many wedding vendors.

I don't usually conduct weddings in a church setting, as I'm not a religious minister, though I do have and occasionally wear the trappings commonly associated with a minister that you would see walking the halls of any church. I'm more what can best be described as an interdenominational secular minister and you’ll likely find me to be a little softer, warmer, more personal and more flexible regarding the pure natural beauty of the outdoor or the indoor location of your choice along with incorporating any unique or custom ideas that you wish as part of your special day.

What does it mean to be interdenominational secular? Well, simply put, it means that I celebrate the strengths of many denominations, I strive to incorporate different practices from various denominations. I can provide you with a Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, Wiccan, Pagan, Agnostic, Atheist, or Secular based ceremony ranging in style from traditional, to contemporary, to simple, and right down to that of basic legal marriage ceremony, similar to a civil ceremony. Vow Renewals? I do those as well. I even can do CosPlay Weddings!

What are CosPlay Weddings? Well, do you secretly wish that Willy Wonka was the minister at your wedding? Or perhaps you want a Steampunk minister? I can work with you for all types of CosPlay Weddings incorporating them in with all the various formats of your traditional marriages as well.

So no matter what type ceremony you’re planning, I am universally prepared to help you make it as uniquely special as you are.
