Having come across Marcus on a website, and having reviewed his introductory videos, we knew straight away that we wanted him as our celebrant.
From our first meeting, Marcus guided us through the entire process and made us feel reassured and at ease. On the day, he delivered an amazing ceremony, that was engaging, fun, and incredibly sweet. Many of our guests spoke highly of him, and many believed he was a close friend of ours based on his personality and interaction with us.
Marcus made the day incredibly special and personal, and of all the different suppliers we went with, Marcus was the only one we were confident with from the very start, and still managed to exceed our expectations.

We trusted, Marcus delivered.

There aren’t enough stars or words to convey how important the role Marcus played at our rather unconventional wedding. So much so, he had a place at the top table for the wedding breakfast.
Marcus not only had full responsibility for creating a funny and uplifting ceremony that had our guests in stitches, it continued throughout the day as he doubled as the master of ceremonies.
The result was a slick operation, seamlessly moving guests and service providers on time and without fuss. Ceremony, breakfast, speeches and disco all took place in different parts of a large property and without his relaxed but authoritative manner it would have been chaos.
I don’t plan on ever getting married again, but if I did he’s would be the first person on my list to contact

Marcus was flawless in his role as our Celebrant and Master of Ceremonies for our wedding in August. From our very first contact, we knew we were in safe hands. Marcus struck the perfect balance between listening to our preferences and introducing new ideas that made our wedding unique and enjoyable. His innovative twist on a Scottish wedding tradition, blending elements from Scotland and Jamaica, was a highlight that our guests are still talking about.
Throughout the planning process, Marcus was attentive and proactive. He took the time to understand our vision for the day, offering insightful suggestions and adjustments that truly enhanced our ceremony and reception. His ability to seamlessly integrate our cultural backgrounds into the event made it even more special and personal. Marcus’s guidance and expertise were evident in every detail, from the initial planning stages to the execution on the big day.
On the day of our wedding, Marcus was a calming presence. He was warm, reassuring, and made us feel completely relaxed, allowing us to fully enjoy each moment. His professionalism and charisma shone through, making the ceremony heartfelt and the reception lively and engaging. Our guests had nothing but praise for his approach, commenting on how he effortlessly managed the flow of events and kept everyone entertained.
Marcus’s contribution to our wedding went beyond his official duties even helping us to write our vows and speeches. He added a personal touch that made our day unforgettable. His enthusiasm and dedication were clear, and his ability to connect with everyone in attendance was remarkable. We cannot recommend Marcus highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who will not only meet but exceed your expectations, Marcus is the perfect choice for your special day.

We are overjoyed with how the wedding went, to show our appreciation for Marcus’ expertly executed services on our special day. The incredible role you played in making our wedding day unforgettable for not only Maeva and I but our guests too. From the first time we met you, we knew that you were the one who would bring warmth, sincerity, and a personal touch to our ceremony.
​
Your ability to capture the essence of our story and convey it with such eloquence yet flamboyant way left us feeling secure with our choice. Your words were not just spoken; they were felt, creating an atmosphere that was both intimate and celebratory. Your attention to detail and genuine interest in understanding our journey together made the ceremony uniquely ours, and we couldn't have asked for anything more beautiful.
​
Your calming presence reassured us throughout the planning process, and on the big day, you orchestrated the ceremony flawlessly. The way you seamlessly blended tradition with personal anecdotes created a ceremony that was not only meaningful but also filled with joy and laughter. It was evident that you put your heart into crafting a ceremony that reflected our personalities and the love we share.

How to explain Marcus. In a word absolutely phenomenal.
From the moment we first communicated with him, Marcus was incredible with us. He was patient with us and helped us shape our ceremony into the day we will cherish forever.
For someone we had never met he was able to give us so many fantastic ideas that were just perfect and were exactly what we wanted, it was as if we had known him our entire lives.
Meeting in person was just as amazing, he travelled so far just to spend an hour at our chosen venue so that he could get a feel, a layout and to see if his ideas would work…. and they did marvellously.
My husband bless him isn’t the most creative with words so he struggled when it came to writing is vows, fear not Marcus was there to lend a hand and some creativeness.
Our ceremony was beautiful, we were given a preview but we didn’t read because we wanted to be surprised.
There are so many ways to say thank you to Marcus but there aren’t enough words in the English language to convey it. If you want a ceremony that is tailored made, with a celebrant who is just sheer perfection then go with Marcus.

Absolutely amazing!
​
Marcus was amazing from start to finish. When we first asked him to write our ceremony we had no idea what we wanted but he talked us through all options and we soon figured it out.
Marcus wrote our ceremony with so much thought and hit the nail on the head with the theme and captured our story perfectly. Almost every guest commented on how amazing Marcus was and we can’t agree with them more.
We can’t recommend Marcus enough, he’s great!

Michelle & Chris
Our amazing Celebrant, Marcus Armstrong.
Thank you for your time, consideration, thoughtfulness and for telling our story so beautifully. I am so grateful to you for everything, it was never in doubt xx

Jane & Daniel
Marcus was INCREDIBLE!
Our ceremony was beautiful, personal, funny, and everything we could’ve asked for.
Our guests were so impressed with the vows that Marcus wrote for us that they were the talk of the evening. He also prepared a script of our vows that has become a great keepsake. I would recommend Marcus to anyone who needs an officiant!
Thank you so much for making our day so special!

Sam & Thomas
We couldn't have asked for more with how incredibly magical our ceremony went.
Marcus orchestrated the ceremony so beautifully - it was filled with warmth, laughter, and most importantly a personal touch reflecting our very own personalities. It went flawlessly even when the Bluetooth speaker unexpectedly went out of control!
What I love the most is that he went above and beyond to get to know us personally from the very first moment we 'met' despite us not being based in the UK at the moment. To be honest, I was hesitant when he asked us to write a couple of stories about our love/each other.
Little did I know that the story writing process not only create so much personality in the script for the ceremony, but also it made me feel so much more deeply in love and appreciate my husband even more!
It was so genuine, engaging and stress-free having you as our celebrant that we could do it all over again.
A big thank you from the both of us! Xx

Sarina & jon
First, we found Marcus online through one of my deep dives on Google search and when I came across his website, I knew he was the one for us. His charisma and charm were evident in just one short video clip.
​
We cannot speak highly enough of Marcus. From our first meeting, he was warm, friendly, and professional. He took the time to get to know us as a couple and understand our vision for our ceremony. He wanted to capture our story to tell it to everyone using his personal touch. He also provided us with various ceremony options and helped us personalize this, as well as our vows.
​
On the wedding day, he arrived early and ensured everything ran smoothly. His ceremony delivery was heartfelt and engaging, and he made everyone feel included. My favorite part (the bride) was that he made any unexpected incident during the ceremony a laughing moment. Additionally, he even came to us for our wedding at Borthwick Castle in Scotland!
​
We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and personal the ceremony was. We are so grateful to him for making our wedding day unique and memorable. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant who truly cares and goes above and beyond to make the wedding day perfect.

A complete storytelling experience of the senses!
​
A wedding is a celebration of love and life, and we wanted a day that was uniquely ours in every way.
We instantly knew Marcus was the celebrant and MoC for us. He has an ability to connect with you in a way that feels familiar and comforting, like a warm embrace from a long-lost friend. Marcus hand-held us through the entire process and took a considered approach to everything - from the words to be said, to where we would sit, to the light of the room.
He took our individual stories and wove them into a beautiful, cohesive narrative - bringing together two families as one - and worked with my daughter to help her write and deliver a heartfelt tribute to her stepfather: the highlight of our ceremony.
There were fun elements throughout, and together we crafted an idea of celebrating our union with the mixing and sharing of cocktails, as one does! Effortlessly, Marcus was the glue that held our entire day together and all our guests commented that it was the most unique and fun wedding they had ever been to.
A complete storytelling experience of the senses - cinematic, impactful, memorable - with Marcus as your celebrant, you will certainly have the most incredible day.

5 out of 5! Stop scrolling and book Marcus now!
We wanted a ceremony which had no alignment to religion, but simply told a story of our relationship and adventures over the last 12 years. Marcus immediately understood what we wanted and was so easy to work with.
Even our photographer paused to listen for a while during the ceremony such due to the story telling.
We would highly recommend Marcus for any type of wedding or ceremony due to his welcoming and flexible approach and when pulling together the cornerstones of content and his ability to bring tell our story to those closest to us with a perfect balance of wit, laughter and lovely sentiment.
We had so many complimentary comments at our reception, many asking how long we'd known Marcus due to the way he was able to effortlessly articulate our story, even though we'd only met twice over video call and for an hour in person.
We can't recommend Marcus highly enough as he absolutely delivered everything we were looking for in a celebrant and so much more.

"Best Ceremony Ever"
​
The words titling the review are just one of many compliments Marcus and our ceremony received from our guests, all of them complimented extremely highly the ceremony, Marcus himself, the layout, the words spoken, the special unique touches and so on, the vast majority of which came from Marcus and his amazing take on how to create something special out of our initial ideas.
We were not your typical couple being that we were already married abroad and this ceremony was mainly for our friends and family to see. We wanted to link the two together in a number of ways and had some ideas but Marcus through our planning calls, script writing and even video examples of the script being spoken brought them all to life ahead of the big day, so we knew almost exactly how the ceremony would sound and flow so there would be no surprises.
However the one big surprise was the delivery on the day by Marcus and how it not only made our guests feel but also the two of us in a way that we did not think would happen given this was more for the guests than us. It was expertly delivered, it made us laugh, made us cry and made us re-live our special moments that we had in our lives together so far and our original ceremony all over again.
Marcus could not come with a higher recommendation from us or from our guests.

Tom & Steph
A perfect blend of love and laughter.
​
We didn't know what we were looking for when we started our search for a celebrant, but we stumbled across Marcus's website and were drawn in by his welcome video. We arranged a call with him and knew straight away that he was the celebrant for us. Marcus is friendly, relatable and approachable and we knew immediately that we were in good hands.
After booking him, we had several meetings with Marcus, one of which involved him coming to our venue in order to get a feel for the space. He was organised and professional throughout and gave us so many ideas which helped us to collaborate on our perfect ceremony.
Marcus made our ceremony so unique and personal. He weaved humour throughout it and created the perfect blend of love and laughter. It was an incredibly memorable ceremony and so many of our guests told us that it was the hilight of their day.
We couldn't reccomend Marcus enough and are hoping that some of our guests will have him as their celebrant in the future so we have the pleasure of attending a Marcus led ceremony again!

10/10 - the perfect celebrant
Marcus is absolutely brilliant. He was our celebrant and master of ceremonies for our wedding and we cannot recommend him highly enough.
He’s attentive, fun with great attention to detail and really puts in the effort to get to know you as individuals and as a couple.
In the build up to the wedding, we had meetings online and in person so that he could really personalise the ceremony and the whole day. Marcus came up with some great ideas which we incorporated and was always engaged and enthusiastic about shaping the ceremony into what we wanted.
He drafted the perfect ceremony which reflected us brilliantly and he captured the exact tone that we were looking for. He really was a 10/10 celebrant.
As MoC, he was equally as brilliant and was exactly what we needed. He was such a calming presence and had our full trust that he’d help sort any unexpected issues we may face on the day.
He really went above and beyond and we felt he had genuine emotion and put so much care into creating our special day. He was the perfect balance of involved but in no way intrusive and was always available. Marcus also helped the bridesmaid with her rehearsal run through of her reading in the morning of the wedding, which was a great touch!
Marcus’ involvement during the whole process was brilliant and we cannot thank him enough for all of his efforts! We received countless compliments about him as celebrant and master of ceremonies and many of our guests thought he had known us for longer which shows just how attentive, caring and funny he was throughout.
Marcus was superb from start to finish and we have no doubt that after just one conversation with him, you will be making the best and only choice.

Amber & Will
It’s very clear how passionate Marcus is about his job. He made us feel very at ease and talked us through everything for our service in great detail.
He listened to what we wanted and came up with ideas how to accomplish our vision.
Thank you Marcus.

Lesley Warden
Marcus created such a beautiful elopement ceremony for us, the ceremony he designed made the whole experience one that we’re going to remember for the rest of our lives.
My husband and I came to him with no idea what we wanted to ceremony to look like, and what he came up with was so custom and thoughtful. I cannot recommend him enough if you want something that feels personal to you.
He was the utmost professional throughout as well, it was such a pleasure having him design and be a part of our big day.

Madeline Anderson
Thank you so much Marcus! Our day was a whirlwind, filled with so much joy and your ceremony was at its centre. You made us laugh and you made us cry, telling our story so beautifully. You have a gift as a storyteller and that is why I wanted to recommend you to anyone else looking for something special for their celebration. Marcus, thank you so much for making our day so wonderful. Your part in it will remain with us forever.

I love that Marcus’s ceremonies are so unique to each client, his imagination is amazing. He is so warm and friendly and willing to work with any idea you can bring to him.
Watching his ceremony is like a show in itself. As soon as our ceremony was over, I wanted to do it again. Thank You Marcus, I highly recommend him.

Vicky Scott-Leach
I met Marcus in October. He oozed of confidence. He would listen to your story and tell it with passion and with attention to intricate details. I observed him produce Souvenir scripts that were amazing and worth holding on to. Marcus would be my number one celebrant to tell my story during my renewal ceremony. Keep up the good work!
