# **MEET KYLIE + MATT** The Heart Behind MarryMark

If there's one thing we know deeply, it's what it takes to deliver a wedding professionally, under pressure, and with care.

Between us, we've spent decades inside this industry coordinating weddings, leading hospitality teams, building education systems, and working alongside the businesses that make it all happen. Across more than 400 weddings, countless venues, and senior executive roles spanning Australia and 15 countries, we've seen the best and the hardest parts of this industry; exceptional delivery, real inconsistency, and the risks couples face when standards are unclear.

MarryMark was created to lift the signal: independent accreditation, evidence-based verification, and ongoing professional development that makes standards meaningful in practice, not just on paper.

**Verified. Tiered. Earned.**

## A WORD FROM KYLIE

**Representing:** **SA/NT/VIC/WA**   
I've never believed in chasing sales for its own sake. I've always believed that when you build genuine relationships and deliver consistently, the business naturally follows because people choose professionals they trust.

Across more than 400 weddings and a career spanning hospitality operations, industry development, and senior executive leadership in Hotels, my work has always been at the intersection of standards and people.

My motivation for creating MarryMark came from both personal experience and a career spent inside service-led industries. When planning my own wedding, I saw firsthand how inconsistent the experience can be. Some suppliers were exceptional. Others never responded at all. It made me realise how many great businesses miss opportunities, not because they lack talent, but because there is no consistent, credible way to demonstrate professionalism and reliability.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked at the intersection of sales, marketing, and operations, alongside small and medium businesses as they navigate growth, standards, and change. I’ve also worked closely with government and industry stakeholders, which has reinforced a simple truth: industries improve when expectations are clear, capability is supported, and trust is protected.

MarryMark was created to strengthen the wedding industry through best-practice standards and recognition, not by telling businesses who they should be, but by giving them a fair, evidence-based way to show what they already do well. It’s about lifting trust for couples, strengthening professionalism for businesses, and advocating for an industry I care deeply about.

## A WORD FROM MATT

**Representing:** **NSW/QLD/ACT**  
After nearly two decades building education and capability programs across more than 15 countries, my focus has always been on one thing: helping professionals build real capability through accessible, high-quality learning.

I’ve held senior executive roles within some of the world’s most respected education institutions and worked closely with businesses to establish the systems, processes, and disciplines that allow them to operate consistently and sustainably. Through that work, one gap became clear: the wedding industry is filled with talented, committed professionals, but it has long lacked a credible, independent framework for accreditation and professional development.

Having been involved in small business early in my career, I understand firsthand how challenging it is to build something responsibly while managing risk, reputation, and client trust. I’ve also seen the impact when businesses fail without safeguards in place, leaving couples exposed during one of the most significant moments of their lives.

What drew me to MarryMark was the rigour behind it. Not a directory. Not a popularity contest. A genuine standards framework with evidence at the centre and education as the engine that keeps it honest over time. Getting that architecture right is what I care about because a standard that can't hold up under scrutiny isn't worth much to anyone.

**DISCLAIMER**  
MarryMark is an independent accreditation and education body for the wedding industry. MarryMark's assessments are based on information supplied by the business at the time of application and renewal, including documentation, audits, and training participation (where applicable). Accreditation indicates that a business has met MarryMark’s standards at the time of assessment, but it is not a guarantee of future performance, business viability, financial stability, or service outcomes.

Couples and consumers should conduct their own checks, make independent enquiries, and enter into contracts directly with the vendor. MarryMark is not a party to any agreement between couples and accredited businesses. To the extent permitted by law, MarryMark is not liable for any loss, dispute, cancellation, negligence, or service failure arising from engagements with a vendor. Nothing in this disclaimer limits any rights that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

Accredited businesses remain solely responsible for their ongoing compliance with legal, regulatory, insurance, and professional obligations. MarryMark may amend, suspend, or revoke accreditation in accordance with its scheme terms where standards are not maintained.

While every effort is made to ensure accuracy in our listings and verification tools, we cannot guarantee completeness or real-time accuracy of information and, to the extent permitted by law, accept no liability for errors, omissions, or changes made by businesses after accreditation.
