About

Congratulations and thank you for considering me as a potential officiant. I look forward to helping you with your special day! I am an ordained minister located in Chenango County, New York. I serve the Norwich area and surrounding areas. I will officiate all types of ceremonies including spiritual, civil, Christian, non-denominational, interfaith, Pagan, and Atheist. I will also officiate commitment ceremonies, civil unions, vow renewals, and other assorted ceremonies.



Every couple wants their day to be uniquely theirs, and I am here to help them reach that goal.

I work with my couples to develop a ceremony that truly reflects who they are and what they hope to become. I help them to create inspirational, spiritual and personalized ceremonies that reflect both their relationship and commitment to each other. Whenever, wherever and however a couple chooses to be married, I am happy to be a part of it. This means that I will work with any theme the couple chooses. This includes skyclad and costumed* weddings! All situations are accepted and respected.


I charge reasonable fees, and will not turn away a couple for financial reasons. I will meet with a couple locally at no cost or obligation to them, or a a location of their choosing for a small fee - or a free lunch. I will also do unlimited free telephone consultations.

Short Notice is OK. If I am not available, I will assist you in finding another minister who is. I will perform a ceremony in any location you choose. There is an Elopement option available for couples who do not want a big formal affair. I will perform a wedding by proxy.


*For weddings where I am required to dress in particular costume, a small fee may be requested for the clothing, if it is not provided.

**Other services are also available.**

  • LGBTQ+-owned
  • Native American-owned
  • Woman-owned

Josephine was wonderful; she was prompt, professional very friendly and personable. I would recommend her to all of my friends, family and complete strangers too! Josephine made sure to give us exactly what we wanted in our wedding ceremony, even on short notice. After we made a few last minute changes in wedding plans, she was available, quick to accommodate, and still maintained the beauty and simplicity of our love and marriage. Josephine was the perfect Officiate to make our backyard wedding dreams come true and I am sure she would be the perfect Officiate to make your wedding dreams come true too!

Professional, friendly and puts your mind at ease

Josie is both professional and friendly. She worked around our schedule to ensure that our ceremony happened on the exact day we wanted. Both my wife and I were at ease with her around.
