Our officiant, Mark Sanderson, was absolutely perfect. His genuine personality made us feel at ease, and his candor made our guests laugh, which helped to calm our nerves. Prior to our perfect day, we had a couple of phone calls/emails, met for coffee to reflect on our personal backgrounds, family details, what was important to us regarding the ceremony, review and hand over our documents. Mark was able to make our wedding truly special. He was very easy to talk with and told us what to expect in terms of paperwork/registration following the wedding. Many of our guests commented on the ceremony and how they thoroughly enjoyed the service and said Mark was very friendly, professional, and easygoing. I would definitely recommend Mark and All Seasons! July 2023

Mitchell & Lindsay
We had the absolute BEST experience with Mark as our wedding officiant. We had two phone calls prior to the wedding and we met in person the week of our wedding to give him our documents and have a coffee. After only these 3 short conversations Mark was able to put together a ceremony that was perfectly us! It truly felt as if Mark had known us for years and our friends and family were all convinced that he did too! It was important to us for our ceremony to be fun and include laughter as we celebrated everything that makes our relationship unique and special. Mark achieved this and more! HIGHLY Recommend!

Our officiant, Mark Sanderson, was absolutely perfect. His extensive experience and calm demeanor totally put us at ease. He was friendly, lighthearted, reassuring, and interested in getting to know us. He made the day our own and completely picked up on our energy as a couple. The whole thing felt so personal and lovely. He also gave us so much help with the legal/paperwork side of the process, and he's been continually available via email and phone whenever we needed him. Would highly recommend Mark and All Seasons! September 2022

Mark SandersonMet and exceeded! Mark was truly incredible at our wedding! We love that he was very clear through the whole process that the wedding was about us only and we should make it the way we wanted. He helped make that happen.

Sean and Meaghan Aug 2021
Mark was a pleasure to have! He was very easy to communicate with and informative with the whole process leading up to the wedding and what to do after. Many of our guests after the ceremony mentioned how they enjoyed his service. He helped make the day much more special for us. Every person in the office at All Seasons Weddings that we talked to were very helpful. They also sent helpful emails leading up to our day that kept things moving smoothly. Creating our own venue meant there were a lot of moving parts and stress, having All Seasons be easy, reliable and informative made one less thing to worry about.

Mark Sanderson completely exceeded our expectations!!! Mark went above and beyond to tailor every word and every element that went into our day. In the days leading up to the wedding he was supportive and honest. He made us feel like family and he really knew what to say to put everything into perspective. The process to create our ceremony seemed effortless because Mark took the time to get to know us. What was extra special to us was that he incorporated the meaning and history of our traditions woven into the ceremony so that guests who witnessed our marriage understood the importance and the symbolism. The whole family joined in! Which was so important to us. All our guests raved about how amazing he was. We will never forget what he did for us on our day. He made it more than saying " I do" and we can't ever thank him enough. Neil & Brittany September 2020

15 out of 10 for Mark Sanderson. When contemplating what makes a wedding special the officiant is often overlooked, although their contribution is one of the most integral parts of the day. From our introductory call, my wife and I knew Mark was special. It was his nuanced approach to collecting the type of personal information he used in the ceremony; things that were mentioned in passing during that first call were referenced at the alter. Mark totally understood what we were looking for, who we were as individuals and the relationship we shared. Mark is the type of gentleman that will go the extra mile to make the day yours, personally. He seems to live for his work and you can feel the passion behind his belief in the sacrament of marriage and the subtleties in which it is interpreted by you as a couple. I can't say enough about this guy, the venue was terrific, the food was amazing but above all else it was Mark's words during the ceremony that we'll be remembering for decades to come. Thank you Mark, you made all the difference to us! Oct. 2019

I worked with Mark Sanderson at a wedding in Huntsville, Ontario. He kept the crowd continually engaged, equally balanced religous elements with the couple's personal love story, and spoke from the heart. I would highly recommend Mark's services to any of my wedding clients, in future.

Kelly and Trevor
Trevor and I just wanted to send you a little note to say thank you so much for being our officiant! Our wedding ceremony was so personal and so special to us, and it is something that we will always remember! The unity candle and the "hands of your best friend" parts were really meaningful to us. After the ceremony we received such great feedback from our guests about how much they loved the ceremony and how much they loved listening to you! A commonly heard remark from our guests was that the ceremony fit us perfectly. Our wedding was truly the best day ever, and we must thank you for your huge contribution to our special day! Sincerely,

Jody & Shawn
Mark Sanderson was amazing and I would highly recommend him to anyone getting married!!

Hi Mark (Sanderson),Joe and I just wanted to extend a very warm thank-you and sincere appreciation for the heartfelt ceremony. Saying our vows in you presence with you showing such genuine sincerity towards your belief in the commitment of marriage that a couple makes made the ceremony very special and we will hold it very dear in our hearts for the rest of our lives. Your presence was to us the most important variable, including having our families with us that made the day what it was. Your presence and participations really did make and impact, and from the bottom of our hearts we thank-you.
