Mark is now an important part of our lives because he was not only there on the most memorable day of our lives, but he made it better. Mark is a wonderful balance of humor and joy coupled with love and empathy. He not only led us and stood with us, he was PRESENT with us in every way.

We will always remember you fondly.

My husband and I contacted Rev. Mark Alft just a couple (of) weeks prior to our wedding date.

He was attentive, professional, kind and accessible. He made the preparation easy, simple and low-stress.

The ceremony was intimate, beautifully spoken, and he made us and our guests feel completely at ease.

I...feel blessed to have him officiate at our very small and personal wedding...we are forever grateful!!!!

Doris and Marcello

Thanks for the great service!  You do solemn encouragement and dignified narration .  I have attended weddings where the jokes were garish or the bible readings were pompous and barely relevant-they did not have your elegance.  Moreover your attention to detail on the paperwork was first rate!  Your service was a wonderful gift to Christina, Glen, and me. Thanks.

Rev. Alft,

Thank you for a very special ceremony.  Everyone was very happy and asking how long we knew you since it seemed we had known each other for a very long time.  More importantly, Naomi and I loved your readings and we couldn't have been happier.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Warmly,

David and Naomi

 Mark, kudos for all your hard work and the results.  We continue to receive comments about how wonderful the ceremony was and how great the officiator was!!!  Your warmth and professionalism, and humor and compassion were very evident.  Many have said it was the BEST WEDDING ceremony they have ever seen.  One person who said that was a ministers daughter!  Maybe people just say that after a wedding always to make the couple feel good about it all, but the way people are saying it, I get the impression they are sincere.  I certainly agree.  You incorporated all the elements that were important and yet kept it short. 

David and Charmaine
