  • Testimonials | Mark Rind Celebrant

    Testimonials Mark is an absolutely fantastic celebrant, we couldn't recommend him highly enough! We chose him to officiate our wedding after getting on really well in an initial meeting and warming to his kind and charismatic personality. He created the most beautiful ceremony, completely tailored to what we wanted, and brilliantly organised. He brought both humour and gravitas to the ceremony and made the whole congregation feel very at ease - everyone was captivated by his every word. In the lead-up to the big day he was very helpful in providing lots of advice regarding each aspect of the ceremony as well as our personal vows. On the day itself, he was a calming influence to navigate pre-ceremony nerves/queries and then led the proceedings flawlessly with warmth and joy. He was a perfect fit to officiate such a special moment for us. Thank you mille fois Mark!! :) Mark is incredible and made our wedding so, so special! We cannot thank him enough for being there before, during, and after the wedding both by chatting with us and guiding us beforehand as well as leading us through the ceremony on the day. He took time to get to know us and create a ceremony perfect for us and our guests. So many of our guests came up to us afterwards telling us how incredible the ceremony was and, more specifically, how wonderful Mark was! We couldn't have done it without him. We were truly honored to have Mark as the celebrant for our special day. He made the entire process effortless and stress free, carefully listening to everything we wanted in our ceremony speech.

We shared our love story over the following months and the ceremony script Mark presented us with was flawless.

Mark was so lovely on our wedding day visiting us both individually to make us feel comfortable and relive any nerves. Our ceremony was PERFECT and we had soooo many comments from guests on how special and unique it was plus how fantastic Mark is. A true professional & story teller, with a heart of gold. Any one would be lucky to have Mark as their celebrant on their special day. Wow…I really have no idea where to start in thanking Mark. He was brilliant, calming and an absolutely joy to be around.

We feel so so lucky to have had him as our celebrant. He felt just like apart of the family. Really cannot thank him enough.

From the offset he was so professional and very detail orientated, which is perfect for an occasion so personal and special. Mark never skipped a beat with the detail, he made it his priority to gather as much information about my husband and I. Mark made us feel so comfortable and at ease, he was always there to answer any questions we had, he always had a plan b up his sleeve just in case anything went wrong (such as rain on the wedding day, my husband crying too much to read his vows etc.) his communication was flawless. Mark played such a huge and important part on our wedding day, he made sure guests were where they were supposed to be, my husband was where he was supposed to be at the right time along with all the groomsman and he even had time to pop up and check I was doing ok on the wedding morning and put any nerves at bay. Mark puts you at complete ease and is truly there to support you. Both myself and my husband were nervous, but having Mark there comforted us. The ceremony conducted by Mark was absolute perfection, all of our guests commented on how great he was.

  • FAQ | Mark Rind Celebrant

    Do you only create wedding ceremonies in France? No. The wonderful thing about being a wedding celebrant is that I can deliver ceremonies wherever I’m needed. So if you are looking for a wedding celebrant in the UK or throughout Europe, get in touch. Where did you train to be a celebrant? I trained with the Celebrant Circle in the UK. They are a leading celebrant training organisation who not only deliver exceptionally high quality training but who also champion the voice of independent celebrants and contribute to the improvement of professional standards within the industry at a National level. I've heard of a 'Humanist' Celebrant but not an ‘Independent’ Celebrant, what's the difference? As an Independent celebrant I am only governed by your wishes which means I can include anything you like in your wedding ceremony. A Humanist Celebrant will have certain constraints or may not be able to include certain elements, however as an Independent Celebrant anything is possible. So if you wish to include a prayer or religious reference you can. After all, it’s YOUR wedding so why be constrained? We’ve never heard of a celebrant and we’re a bit confused by what it all means. Can you explain? Yes I can!! Many couples come to me not knowing what a celebrant does or how a wedding ceremony can be so personal. 100% of those couples understand and are excited about the possibilities after they have a discovery video call with me. So, if you’re a bit confused, browse through my website and then get in touch to book a discovery call - I’m always happy to explain about my job and how I can craft your wedding ceremony into a perfectly unique celebration of your love story! Do you bring your own microphones/sound system for the ceremony? I have my own sound system with radio and handheld microphones which I can use for your ceremony free of charge. Most venues will include a sound system for the ceremony, but if not, I can provide one to ensure all your guests can hear me! Are your ceremonies legally binding? Not yet! The laws in the UK and France still require certain procedures are followed for a marriage to be legalised, and whilst these laws may soon change, currently a celebrant led ceremony is a symbolic ceremony with no legal status. Did you know that simple a legal marriage in the UK takes 6 minutes and costs about £40? This is why many couples choose to pop into the registry office, say a few words, collect their documents and then focus on their actual wedding day - their celebrant led wedding day. Do you liaise with our other suppliers for our wedding? Absolutely! Before your big day I will always contact your photographer and videographer to make sure they are aware of the contents of the ceremony so that they know when to get the best shots. If you have a planner I will be in consistent contact with them to ensure we are all working for the common goal - your day. If I haven’t been to your venue I will always contact them and if possible visit to see their ceremony space prior to your wedding day. If you are having live music during your ceremony I always like to make contact to ensure everything is as planned. My responsibility is for the smooth running of the ceremony on your day and working closely with other wedding professionals is part of my job. Is there any limit to what I can include in my ceremony? Absolutely not! Anything and everything is possible! I have a set fee which does not alter despite how many changes or additions you make to the ceremony. So, as the ceremony is created you don't have to worry about additional costs. How many weddings do you do in a day? Just yours! On your day, my focus is you! How much contact do you have with your couples? As much as you like! Once you book me I set up a WhatsApp group for the three of us so that you have immediate access to me throughout the process. We will arrange video calls at key points as the ceremony is created, but I’m always available on the phone, email or additional video calls whenever you need me. Are you legally allowed to work in France? Yes, I live in France and I have my ‘Carte de Sejour’ which means I am a French tax resident legally allowed to work in France. Since Brexit, British citizens must have a 'Carte de Sejour' or a working visa to be allowed to work in France.

  • Funerals | Mark Rind Celebrant

    Saying Goodbye in France Saying goodbye to a loved one is always difficult. Whether sudden or forseen the impact of loss and the waves of grief can be overwhelming. Often this is made harder by the additional need to navigate French regulations and procedures. As a professional English Funeral Celebrant living in France I hope to ease the process for you. Listening to your wishes, I create and deliver a unique ceremony whilst also supporting you as an additional link with the Funeral Directors. “Mark visited us at home and his natural warmth and kindness made us feel like we were talking to a friend an d his reassurances left us feeling like a weight had been lifted from our shoulders.” J S-G. Funeral ceremonies in France are traditionally very different from the UK but don't let that constrain you from having the service you desire for your loved one. Whether it's a heartfelt goodbye or a wonderful celebration of life, with an independent celebrant led ceremony it is always possible to have your wishes realised. How I support you We will begin with a meeting usually at your home where we talk. I listen to your requests for the ceremony and I discover the Life Story of your loved one. The happy memories, the funny times, the life events. We will talk about any Readings/Poems/Music you wish to include in the service and whether you would like me to write and/or deliver the Eulogy. With an independent celebrant led ceremony anything is possible so we can add traditional or religious elements if you would like, but we don't have to be bound by traditional constraints. My job is to listen to your wishes and create a deeply personal ceremony to suit. After our meeting and having discovered your wishes for the ceremony, I put pen to paper and compose a bespoke and loving ceremony fitting your requirements. I always start with a blank page...every life is unique and deserves a unique ceremony. Never copied, always bespoke. “I cannot recommend Mark highly enough. I was persuaded it would be better to use Mark's services as a Celebrant. Best decision I ever made.” C.M. We will stay in contact and I will support you in the days leading up to the ceremony. I will liaise with the Funeral Director and Crematorium to ensure all the logistics for the ceremony are in order and that nothing has got 'lost in translation'. On the day of the Ceremony my support continues and I will be there to officiate the ceremony at the venue, liaise with venue staff and ensure everything runs smoothly.
