PREPARING THE EVIDENCE
THAT SUPPORTS YOUR ACCREDITATION

MarryMark accreditation is evidence-based and standards-led, designed to be clear, fair, and achievable
for professional wedding businesses.

This page outlines what we review and what evidence is typically required.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO APPLY

Most professional wedding businesses already have much of what’s required.

Our role is to help you present evidence in a clear, structured way so assessment is fair, consistent, and practical.

Core requirements apply to every business. Higher star standards require deeper evidence, stronger systemisation, and greater delivery control.

Eligibility note: Businesses must have been operating for a minimum of two years to apply for accreditation.

The checklist below represents the core areas assessed across all standards.

WHAT EVIDENCE LOOKS LIKE

Silver (Desktop Audit)
Evidence is assessed through documentation, written explanations, and submitted materials. For 6★ and 7★ Silver, this includes a virtual interview to validate operational maturity and clarify evidence.

Gold (Onsite Audit)
Evidence is verified through on-site observation and discussion to confirm that documented systems match real-world practice.

Where possible, showing evidence is sufficient. We avoid collecting unnecessary copies of sensitive documents.

Gold does not change your star standard. It strengthens the depth of verification.

We are not looking for perfection. We are looking for professional intent, responsible operation, and systems that hold under real wedding conditions.

If something is missing or unclear, we will guide you on what’s needed to complete the submission.

 

CORE SUBMISSION AREAS

Use this as a guide, not a burden.

MarryMark accreditation is evidence-based, but the process is designed to be practical and achievable.

When you select your tier and audit modality, the application form will guide you through the evidence required for that pathway. You do not need to upload everything upfront.

In most cases:

  • Some evidence is submitted during the application stage

  • Some evidence is discussed and validated in the virtual interview (where applicable for 6★ and 7★ Silver)

  • For Gold, much of the verification occurs on-site, where documents and systems can be shown in context

Our focus is confirming that you have responsible systems in place and that they operate in practice, not creating paperwork for its own sake.

PRIVACY AND DOCUMENT HANDLING
We recognise these documents are sensitive. Wherever possible, we do not require copies. Being shown key documents and systems is sufficient to confirm standards.

Information collected through the application and assessment process is handled securely and used only for accreditation purposes. Where information is used for internal analysis or reporting, it is de-identified.

If something is missing or unclear, we will guide you on what’s needed to complete assessment.

CODE OF CONDUCT AND ETHICAL STANDARDS

All applicants are required to formally agree to the MarryMark Business Code of Conduct as part of the accreditation process.

The Code of Conduct sets clear expectations around:

  • Professional and ethical behaviour

  • Honest representation and advertising integrity

  • Client care, fairness, and dispute handling

  • Responsible operation across teams and subcontractors

Agreement to the Code is required at application and maintaining alignment with the Code is part of ongoing active standing.
