Joshua Maples Professional Wedding Officiant offers services in Johnson City, Tennessee, but travels up to about an 80-mile radius. I provide a heartfelt ceremony meanwhile including a little humor that will touch the hearts of yourselves, friends, and your family. I expect a few laughs because this is a time to celebrate. I am a professional and am passionate about celebrating love and the union of two souls, but also blending families together. I love to create a light, vibrant atmosphere and put my heart and soul into every ceremony I write for. Whether you envision a large-scale gathering or an intimate elopement, I will offer a unique and personalized experience and ceremony script and help make your big day unforgettable.

Services Offered

I begin by sending you a list of questions to create a personalized ceremony script. I collaborate with you and your partner while exchanging ideas until we agree create the perfect script. I officiate a variety of wedding types, write vows, both religious, non-religious, or interfaith. You will also have the option to include your own vows to add an extra special touch to the service. I coordinate with your other vendors to ensure the day runs as smoothly as possible.

Great communication, humorous, punctual, and empathetic!

Minister Joshua was excellent! My parents found him online after realizing they wanted someone to take professional pictures for my wedding. We only had a little over a month to plan everything but that was ok because Joshua had everything under control. We could email or call with any concerns or questions we had and he always had a prompt response. The fact that he filed the marriage license for us is a godsend because we came from out of state for a family vacation and all govt offices were closed until the day we left. He even sent me the link to fill out for our marriage application! The ceremony was more beautiful than I could've hoped for because I was just thinking of something simple. Bottom line is, Joshua is the best of the best so book him quick before your date is gone! You won't be disappointed, I promise!

Thoughtful and accommodating

Josh made our elopement so special. He crafted a personalized ceremony that was so touching, it brought us both to tears. His kindness, thoughtfulness, and consistently positive attitude made the entire experience even more memorable. He was incredibly accommodating and took so much stress off of us during the process. He made us laugh until our sides hurt. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about making their day perfect!
