They have found joy in each other
Scott Hoying, one of the singers from Pentatonix, has recently married his partner Mark Manio, and the couple couldn’t be happier. After six years of dating, they tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton Bacara in Santa Barbara, California. The intimate wedding was attended by close friends and celebrities.
Hoying expressed his deep love and gratitude for his husband, stating that he feels incredibly lucky to have found his dream man. The couple wanted a unique and timeless experience for their wedding and chose Santa Barbara due to their shared love for the beach and the ocean. They exchanged handwritten vows beneath a baby’s breath archway, with singer Christina Perri acting as the officiant.
The grooms wore custom off-white tuxedos and later changed into reception outfits to hit the dance floor. The reception was filled with music, and Hoying surprised Manio with a performance of his new song “Four,” which was dedicated to him after their engagement. The couple’s first dance was to the song “Never Enough” from The Greatest Showman, a meaningful choice for them.
The ceremony had an all-white theme, while the reception featured twinkling lights, chandeliers, and all-black floors and draping. The couple wanted the space to feel like they were dancing among the stars. The entire wedding weekend was filled with surprises for the guests, including a welcome dinner with karaoke, an audio guestbook, a tattoo artist, and a photo booth.
Hoying emphasized the importance of their families, who are incredibly supportive of their love. The couple wanted to celebrate not only their love but also their families on both sides. After their three-day wedding celebration, including their beloved puppy Mozart, they concluded with a farewell brunch overlooking the ocean.
Hoying reflected on their journey together, from meeting at a friend’s birthday party to finding enduring love. He expressed gratitude for the obstacles they overcame as queer individuals and how it makes their love even more cherished. The couple is excited to embark on their honeymoon in Punta Mita, Mexico and has already begun discussing starting a family.
Scott Hoying described Mark as a loving, kind, and inspiring person who lights up his life in every way. He believes Mark will be an amazing father. The couple is excited for their future together, appreciating the beauty of their love story and the joy they have found in each other.
