Amazing ceremony!

Josh just worked with my wife and I on our wedding, he did an amazing job writing and delivering our ceremony. He is the perfect person for couples with mixed religious backgrounds that might be looking for someone to help put together a beautiful and thoughtful ceremony that works for both families.

Wonderful Experience!

We feel grateful and lucky to find Joshua officiating our wedding! We met couple of times with him discussing our story and getting knowing each other. Joshua was very attentive and was able to capture and portray our story during ceremony in very eloquent way. We loved it along all of our guests. Also, Joshua learning our story suggested to do the tea ceremony which demonstrated our love for teas and sharing. That was wonderful idea and our guest loved it too.
We highly recommend Joshua especially if you are looking for a personalized ceremony created specific for you as a couple.

An Amazing Human Being

We recently had the pleasure of having Joshua as our wedding officiant, and we cannot speak highly enough of the remarkable experience he created for us. From the very beginning, it was evident that he genuinely cared about making our ceremony meaningful and personalized.
We absolutely loved that Joshua took the time to get to know us as a couple. Before the big day, he scheduled meetings to learn about our love story, our values, and our vision for the ceremony. This personal touch allowed him to craft a wedding ceremony that truly reflected our unique relationship.

We were truly impressed with the amount of work Joshua put into tailoring the ceremony to our preferences. He paid close attention to the details we shared during our discussions, and it was evident in the thoughtful and heartfelt words he spoke during the ceremony. Every aspect felt customized to us, making the day even more special.

Throughout the entire process, Joshua exuded kindness, warmth, and professionalism. His calming presence helped ease our nerves and ensured a smooth and seamless ceremony. He handled everything with the utmost care and attention to detail, making us feel at ease and allowing us to fully embrace the joy of the moment.

We highly recommend Joshua to any couple searching for a wedding officiant. His dedication to creating a personalized experience, combined with his kind and professional demeanor, made our wedding ceremony truly unforgettable.

The Gift of Joshua

Joshua was recommended to me when I was looking for an officiant for a "Celebration of Life". To find him seemed like a gift from the Universe. He took the time to truly get to know the person we lost, and guided the experience with positive energy, kindness, humor. It was perfect, and I will be grateful to him for the rest of my life.

Best Officiant Ever!

We were so lucky and honored to have Joshua serve as our officiant at our wedding this past weekend. We met with him over coffee to share some stories about ourselves, he wrote an amazing ceremony, offered to read our own vows and then gave an amazing performance (including a surprise at the end that we weren't expecting). He is caring, well spoken, and we would recommend him to anyone looking for someone. He's incredible!

Wrote Us the Most Amazing Ceremony!

Josh was our celebrant for our 10/19/19 wedding. We met with him in person a few times before he hand crafted and wrote our entire ceremony, which was perfect!

Josh conducted our rehearsal (and kept our surprises a secret) as well as our ceremony. We could tell that he has done this before because of how professional he was. He was amazing with our DJ (to coordinate when to fill in with music), our day of coordinator, venue and family.

When we met with Josh, he asked us some questions and really got to know who we are as a couple. He took notes and sent us over a written draft of our wedding. He completely wrote the entire ceremony, utilizing our input/wants and it was absolutely amazing. The first time (and pretty much every time) I read it, I was in tears it was so beautiful. We had a few ideas we wanted to incorporate into the ceremony and Josh took those and made them even more special. He had the audience laughing, crying and happy - exactly what i wanted. I received so many compliments about how beautiful our ceremony was and I felt the same way. It was unique, heartfelt and honest.

It was easy to see that Josh truly cares about what he does and is passionate about being in such an important role in the wedding. Thank you so much for crafting and performing our dream wedding ceremony!

Professional, Special, Perfect!

My husband and I do not practice any religion nor are we affiliated with any. It was important to us to keep that out of our ceremony and we didn’t really know where to look. I came across Josh here on Wedding Wire and it was the best thing that could have happened. Josh is one of the friendliest people we have ever met. He was extremely attentive in terms of flexibility and communication and treated us with such love and professionalism. Josh actually ended up writing a custom ceremony for us - we are both theater people and it was “a play”. It fit our relationship to a T and our friends and family believed that we had known Josh for a long time - that is how much he gets to know you as a couple. He also is incredible in terms of improv - our backyard wedding included some yard work noises and he played it off incredibly and with some humor - it was very special and perfectly timed. I can not recommend Josh and his services enough. He made our ceremony a dream come true and it would not have been the same without him.

Can’t speak highly enough!

My husband and I are so happy with our decision to have Josh officiate our wedding. From the first meeting, we really enjoyed speaking with Josh. We found him personable, funny and genuinely interested in our story.

The ceremony he wrote for us was perfect. He made it so personal there is no way it could have been a ceremony for anyone else. Our guests were laughing and engaged the entire time.

At our reception countless people told us how much they enjoyed the ceremony and where we “found him.”

We highly recommend going with Josh. You’ll be happy you did!
