A CLEAR, FAIR &
PROFESSIONAL PATH
TO ACCREDITATION

MarryMark accreditation recognises professionalism, strengthens delivery standards,
and gives couples confidence, without unnecessary complexity.

HOW MARRYMARK ACCREDITATION WORKS

MarryMark is designed to be clear, fair, and achievable, while still meaning something
in a market where couples want proof, not claims.

Accreditation provides an independent trust signal that helps couples choose with
confidence and helps professional businesses stand out on merit.

Verified. Tiered. Earned.

WHAT ACCREDITATION IS
AND WHAT IT ISN’T

MarryMark accreditation is an independent, evidence-based assessment of how a wedding business operates, including client experience, professionalism, systems, safety, and delivery control.

MarryMark accreditation is:

  • An independent assessment against defined standards

  • Evidence-based recognition of how your business operates today

  • A framework for ongoing improvement and professional development

  • Maintained through renewal and active standing requirements

MarryMark accreditation is not:

  • A guarantee of bookings or outcomes

  • A marketing badge you can purchase

  • A judgement of creativity, style, or personality

  • A one-time tick that never needs maintaining

MarryMark recognises professionalism, not perfection.

IF YOU’RE NOT ACCREDITED THE FIRST TIME

Not every business passes on the first assessment, and that’s okay.

If gaps are identified:

  • You receive clear, constructive feedback

  • You understand exactly what is required to meet the standard

  • You can reapply once improvements are in place

MarryMark is designed for uplift, not exclusion.
