A few months ago, I had the pleasure of being one of the editors for Mark Allan Groleau’s Wedding Zero to Ceremony Hero: Learn the Basics, Plan the Ceremony and Write the Wedding They’ve Always Wanted.
If ever someone asks you to officiate a wedding, read this book first. It’s a how-to for wedding officiants that will provide you with step-by-step instructions for officiating an unboring ceremony that’ll make your couple and their guests want to laugh, cry (happy tears), and party.
Featuring a link to the author’s very own planning spreadsheet and an extensive list of planning considerations—including considerations specific to LGBTQ+ weddings—this book will make you ultra-prepared. Not only that, but Mark’s relatable humour and conversational tone make it an entertaining read.
After its launch in early 2021, Wedding Zero to Ceremony Hero quickly became an Amazon bestseller. This is a testament to the book’s usefulness and to Mark’s expertise.
This is book one of a three-book series, so keep an ear out for books two and three!
In just one sharp, well-run meeting with your couple, you will expertly extract their vision for their perfect ceremony. Like gold. That’s what this book will teach you how to do. — Mark Allan Groleau
