We rated Mark’s work 5+++++++, when we pressed on five stars, for some unknown reasons, the page came back with four stars only. We tried to correct it, numerous times pressing on the stars, logging out and logging in again, still the site doesn’t allow us to correct this.
It was a true blessing and guidance by God and our lucky stars that brought us to the Fash website where we found Mark. My husband and I had already had our private ceremony, just the two of us, away from home, and planned to have a blessing at a Chapel back home for our family and very close friends. From the first communication with Mark we felt sincere care, love and desire to create a deeply meaningful, unforgettable, unique experience. It already began to feel so special from the moment we were preparing our answers for Mark.
Mark, we both feel blessed to have had you as our officiant. We have never experienced such a deep, touching, bonding ceremony as what you have created for us. Your experience, professionalism, advice and confidence made it feel so solid. The way you conducted the blessing, the way you connected us with each other, with our family and friends, went into our hearts so deeply, so meaningfully. Each word you said during the ceremony filled us with such significance that penetrated to the core of our hearts. Having you as our officiant felt as though we were in very strong, caring hands of a father who sets us both off on a journey of a lifetime together with his dearly loving blessing. Thank you, Mark, for being there for us.

Mark was a wonderful wedding celebrant for us. He did a great job personalizing our wedding vows and made the wedding ceremony so pleasant and unique. Communication throughout was excellent and the whole process was very smooth. He is experienced, personable, and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend him as a wedding celebrant and relationship/marriage coach! Thanks Mark!

My wife and I had an amazing time working with Mark and Gail Smallcombe as our marriage counseling coaches. During our wedding day they were also by our side as we became Husband and Wife. From the get go, Mark's experience as an officiant helped to put everyone at ease. From where to stand to what to say to help with changes that needed to be made. Marks humor, genuineness, charisma, and faith helped to make our wedding ceremony exceptional.

My wife and I will be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary in June of this year. We couldn't make it without having God in our lives. Since accepting Jesus Christ is our savior closer to each other and closer to God.

I highly recommend Mark & Gail as experienced coaches who come highly qualified to help couples. Their own marriage is tried and tested! They have pastored and counselled thousands during their years of ministry; their accumulated wisdom & success at living and giving is surely much needed. In addition, I have recently had the privilege to train Gail in Refocussing and she is indeed a fabulous person!!

If anyone is qualified to teach on relationships and marriage it is Mark & Gail Smallcombe. They have exemplified a godly marriage over many seasons and their teaching and counsel will come from what they have modeled. They don’t practice what they preach; they preach what they practice. Mark & Gail, you are such a blessing to the body of Christ!

Most people get defensive when asked about marriage coaching; listen - Michael Jordan had a coach and he was the best. Mark and Gail are great at making what my wife and I have even better. They are very open and sincere in their approach, and have an extreme amount of wisdom and experience. We’ve most loved the way they are so humble. Coaching isn’t for people who aren’t doing well; it’s for people who just want to be better

If it wasn't for Mark and Gail I don't know if my wife and I would have felt ready enough to get married last year. Like many, we were waiting for the perfect time in both of our lives. After being coached by Mark and Gail, we felt so confident and encouraged about not only where we were headed but also where we currently stood in our relationship. It was one of the best decisions of our lives. We highly recommend them to anyone who has been in a serious relationship and has pondered marriage.

If God has assets, it is people —people who have gone the distance, people who have proven themselves in living out the principles of His Word in the loving spirit they are given to us. Marriages may be made in heaven, but they are lived out on earth in the reality of the push and pull of the good and bad, strength and weakness, bitter and sweet, for better and for worse —but it really doesn’t have to be for worse, it truly can be for better, and this is what Mark and Gail Smallcombe are all about. Their own long successful happy marriage with its own unique complexities, a long and esteemed pastoral ministry working real people through real life challenges, gifted with communication skills, and perhaps being the nicest couple you will ever meet...in short, in my view they are simply stellar, five stars worth, among the best ypu can get for Relationship and Marriage Counselling.

I have known Mark and Gail for almost 15 years. If I had all day long I wouldn’t have enough time to describe the excellence of character and faith they walk through life with. Whether you have the pleasure of a brief moments encounter or a life long journey, Mark and Gail pour their life and love into everyone they meet. Marks natural ability to connect and define relationships give him the unique ability to effectively speak life and focus into peoples lives. Gail is a gentle balance to Mark, filled with vision and compassion, she is able to speak hope into the most challenging circumstances. Together they have the ability to discover truth, overcome challenges and help you plan a path to a healthy, joy filled life.
If my remarks seem biased, they are! I am! I am a believer in the life of fruitfulness these two amazing people have produced!

My wife and I have been married for 10 years now and we value the importance of proactively fine tuning our relationship. Mark and Gail Smallcombe are the best there is. They’ve coached us on a number of times throughout our years together and have been instrumental in helping us understand a unique perspective a long lasting marriage. They bring years of wisdom, authenticity, and compassion, which, in my opinion, are all key for tapping into what really matters in a coaching session. In addition, they bring grace and love even when dealing with some of what could be seen as the more awkward conversations. They’re love for one another is seen through the way they interact and lift each other up. And as members of the same church community, they have been key role models for us for at least 12 years.

Going through premarital counseling with Mark and Gail Smallcombe was the best thing we could have done for our marriage. Every time we left a session we felt empowered and encouraged. We always felt that the sessions were designed specifically for us. Mark and Gail provide such a joyful and nonjudgmental atmosphere. We loved Mark and Gail’s couple-based perspective in which they asked us more questions, rather than giving us a clinical talk or guidance. They truly have away to gracefully help you (the individual) self- examine who you are in the context of your relationship; how your differences in backgrounds can actually help to complement your partner. Something that we learned so much was about how to communicate to each other when conflict would occur. One of us
would want to address it then and now and the other would want space and need time in order to address the issue or situation. Mark and Gail helped us understand how to love our partner the way that works best for us. We ultimately learned the skills and ways to love each other best

Mark and Gail Smallcombe have a real talent for marriage counseling and therapy. We have had the privilege of participating in a number of coaching sessions with them, and we’ve noticed significant improvements in our marriage. For example, we experienced a greater sense of oneness with each other and with our faith. We were guided to recognize unhealthy thought processes and behavioral patterns in our marriage that were preventing us from achieving greater harmony and unity. We learned to listen to and understand each other, and better understood how to communicate our thoughts and feelings to each other with a constructive and healthy approach. Further, Mark and Gail introduced personalized practical tools and a framework for dealing with the challenges we faced. We have learned to love each other in a much deeper way. Thank you Mark and Gail!

We wanted to build a stronger foundation for our relationship and upcoming marriage so we decided to seek out Mark and Gail Smallcombe for pre-marital coaching. They led us through two awesome questionnaires... (Enneagram and Prepare/Enrich), which helped us understand our individual personality and the areas of growth needed in our relationship. As we met to discuss the areas of strength and the areas in which we needed to grow, Mark and Gail expertly gave us the tools needed in our relationship to help improve our communication style and help us see our differences as strengths to compliment each other. We also had the wonderful delight of having Mark officiating our wedding unique to our love story and our personalities and he did this with great warmth and humor.
