Mark Caffrey - Sussex & London Wedding Celebrant Full Description

Hello! I'm Mark (he/him). I'm a creative, warm, relaxed wedding celebrant for fun-loving, kind-hearted couples. I work across Sussex, London, Kent and travel further afield for destination weddings. I'm an LGBTQ+ wedding supplier, and a Trans+ ally. I centre you and your couple story, guided by the language you use as a couple, rather than making gendered or patriarchal assumptions.

Visit my website to learn more about the process of creating your ceremony, and then get in touch for a free, no commitment, discovery chat.

We are so happy that we had you as our celebrant, you were the best! We had so much amazing feedback from our guests saying how much they loved you and your warm spirit. Thank you so much for making this a wonderful and beautiful experience for us.” Nicole and Carlton

If you’re looking for a celebrant who can:

  • Write and deliver a ceremony that is for and about you both
  • Listen and act on what’s important to you
  • Be as creative or as traditional as you both are comfortable with
  • Create a fun, loving and inclusive atmosphere for you and your guests
  • Affirm your commitment where legal marriage would unfairly penalise you

...then get in touch for a chat. I’ll answer any questions you have about celebrant-led ceremonies, and how we could work together.

So special and "us"
We're so grateful for all your work in bringing our ceremony together. We had the most wonderful day and everyone commented on how joyous it was. We are so thankful for all the work you put in to making our wedding feel so special and "us".

Such an ally
Mark was such an ally throughout our entire wedding process. He was kind, thoughtful and intentional. He really took the time to get to know our story and us as a couple. He dedicated so much time to supporting us and making sure the ceremony was exactly what we wanted. It was like having the most professional friend deliver our ceremony. Our friends and family told us it was the best ceremony they've ever been to and the first they've cried at!"

Such a meaningful and beautiful ceremony
Thank you for creating such a meaningful and beautiful ceremony. You were such a hit with everyone and we have had so many comment that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. People have also assumed that we have known each other for a long time - and it certainly feels that way.

Perfect balance of humour and depth
Our celebrant had to be someone we connected to, someone who shared our view of the world, a genuine good person with a strong backbone and voice ... the perfect balance of humour and depth, emotion and lightness - everyone commented on this.

Excellent celebrant
After our first conversation with Mark we knew he was a great fit for our wedding. Mark picked up on detailed aspects of our story and wrote a beautiful ceremony for us. He even had us write surprise vows which we loved on the day, and helped plan a surprise from me for my husband. All the guests complimented how wonderful he was and how it was a beautiful ceremony

Like having a friend marry us
Building our ceremony with Mark has been a joy. A couple of relaxed calls, and a lovely couple of hours chatting over dinner and Mark was able to pull a ceremony together so fun and personal we had many guests assume he was a close friend. On the day he was calm and professional but still brought a genuine happiness to the ceremony which helped ease any last minute nerves we both had. We cannot begin to recommend him enough

Snap him up!
We reached out to Mark after finding him on the internet while searching for a queer friendly celebrant for our upcoming wedding. If you're looking for a celebrant who is not only professional and amazing at his job, but also warm, personable, and dedicated to making your wedding ceremony perfect - snap him up!

We felt very lucky to have found him
We immediately felt he had a really nice grasp of our communication style and understood the rhythm and pace of our planning and how to work around us. He made what would have been a challenging process for us so much easier, and was very friendly and polite throughout. Ultimately we felt very lucky to have found him and have had compliments about the ceremony to this day. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of a celebrant.

Felt like it was delivered from a friend
Mark was very supportive and open to our thoughts throughout the whole process. We had a mix of traditional and non-traditional elements and never felt any pressure to fulfil any criteria, which is just what we wanted. Mark is not just a celebrant but a creative, heart-warming professional who delivered the script in the most genuine and personal way. In the end, the ceremony felt like it was delivered from a friend, rather than an officiant.

Mark made our ceremony unforgettable
We cannot say enough to capture how truly special Mark is, how wonderfully talented he is and just how incredible he was at really making our wedding day perfect. Mark made our ceremony unforgettable, weaving our love story - that was so fun to reminisce when we first met him - into a beautiful narrative, filled with laughter and heartfelt moments that had everyone smiling and tearing up.

What about your business are you most proud of?

Celebrating all couples, without assumptions. I have a passion for inclusivity in all its forms and I work with you to ensure you, your friends and family are included and celebrated. I understand that this might be one of your biggest priorities in finding and feeling comfortable with your wedding team.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Many people still don't know they have a choice other than a faith-based or civil ceremony. You do! A celebrant-led wedding is an original, personal and inclusive alternative.

And as a celebrant, one myth I want to explode is the role of a registrar as central to your wedding celebration.

A registrar-led ceremony can cost as much as a 100% personalised celebrant-led ceremony. You don't need a registrar there on your wedding day - you can do this either wide of your personalised celebrant-led wedding. The legal paperwork costs about £80 depending on your local authority. You can then invest in an celebrant-led ceremony that is created especially for you.
