Can our Pastor perform the wedding?
If you would like your own pastor to be involved in your ceremony (for example, to do the homily or your vows), please have them contact the Lead Pastor of St. Mark’s for further conversation. Generally, she/he would be welcome to participate in the service along with one of the clergy from St. Mark’s.

Pre-wedding counseling is recommended but not required. Couples may seek pre-wedding counseling with clergy of their home church or with the St. Mark’s Pastor officiating their ceremony. Your St. Mark’s Wedding Coordinator will provide more details.
