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.

Kylie has spent more than 15 years inside the wedding and hospitality world, leading teams, coordinating complex service delivery, and managing the realities of wedding days from the inside out. Across more than 400 weddings, she has overseen operations that require consistency, calm execution, and high professional standards.

She has also held senior executive roles in hotels and has worked across industry development in NSW, supporting businesses to strengthen capability, improve standards, and grow sustainably. She understands what operators need because she has been in the work.

Matt’s background also began in the wedding industry, spanning publishing, major wedding exhibitions, and early industry initiatives that helped shape how couples assess trust and professionalism. Since then, he has led large-scale education and capability programs at senior executive level across vocational and university sectors, with experience across more than 15 countries.

Together, we’ve seen the best and the hardest parts of this industry, exceptional delivery, inconsistency, and the real 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.

MarryMark helps professional wedding businesses prove their standards, earn trust, and convert with confidence through independent, evidence-based accreditation.

Verified. Tiered. Earned.

A WORD FROM KYLIE
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.

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
After nearly two decades working in national and international education across many countries, my focus has always been on one thing: helping professionals build real capability through accessible, high-quality education.

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.

MarryMark exists to address that gap. It’s a standards system designed to support businesses and protect couples through verification, tiered recognition, and ongoing professional development.
