    Thank you!

    Working with Doug and Theresa was phenomenal! They made us feel super comfortable throughout the planning process and went above and beyond ensuring that names were pronounced properly. I appreciated their willingness to assist us in making sure my mom was present in our ceremony! Thank you so much -Doug and Blanca Goetz

    Happy customers!!

    Reverend Doug and his wife make a great team when it comes to weddings. We had an outdoor ceremony at Ned’s Point in Mattapoisett, so our rehearsal was there in the pouring rain-yikes!! It was terrible weather the day of the rehearsal and rev Doug and his wife still came to rehearse with us!! The day of our wedding was perfect, thank goodness! They brought their Bluetooth speaker to play our ceremony music since I freaked out 2 weeks before the wedding when I realized I didn't have a way of playing music for our ceremony. JOL Ministry was such a reliable, accommodating, and affordable officiant and I couldn't recommend them more!!

    Wedding Officiant

    I can’t say enough about Reverend Doug. He met with us back in October for our wedding that was 1/12/19 and he spent a good amount of time getting to know us. He worked that into his ceretbut also allowed us to personalize our ceremony to suit our vision for our wedding. We felt we were in such good hands and we were. We had several people remark about how good our Officiant was. He really seemed to care about what we wanted and he did exactly that. I would highly recommend him.

    Thank you so much! Venus and Nelson, it was such a privilege to be able to tell some of your beautiful story in the ceremony. We feel honored to have officiated at your wedding! God bless.

    Amazing pastor

    Was very helpful. Wrote a personalized ceremony. I had a very stressful week leading up to the wedding dealing with unrelated wedding stuff and he was right there to make sure the wedding part was perfect. Thank you again!!

    I truly could not imagine my day with anyone else! Doug and his wife listened attentively to make sure they got every detail right. Their sense of humor and easy going personality made it seem like we had known them forever. Our personalized ceremony was written for our own personal love story that made the whole process that much more magical. If you are trying to decide who to chose- chose them!!

    Rev. Doug is awesome! We couldn't be more pleased with the officiant for my daughter's wedding - from their first meeting with him, to his helpful suggestions when writing their vows and the invaluable guidance provided at the rehearsal, Rev. Doug and Teri helped make the day perfect!

    Journey of Light Ministry's reply:

    Thank you so much! You have a wonderful family. I enjoyed being part the ceremony!

    Reverend Douglas wrote my husband and I a beautiful ceremony. He was very flexible when the original time of our ceremony got rained out. We don't live in Rhode Island but he did a wonderful job of staying in touch and worked with me over the phone when My husband and I couldn't make it to RI. Highly recommended!

    Thank you Kierstin! What a great day it turned out to be! It was our pleasure.

    I had the pleasure of being married by Rev. Goodson last month and I could not be more happy. He and his wife are a sweet couple who were a very special part of my wedding. Doug made our ceremony absolutey perfect, he was kind, professional, funny, and organized. He helped my husband and I with a few parts of the rehearsal/ ceremony setup that we hadnt thought of and he was so easy going and great to work with. You will not be disappointed if you meet with him.

    Jess it was great being a part of your wedding day! We wish you both the best! Thank you for choosing to work with us!

    Rev Doug was great! He wrote a perfect ceremony for me and my husband! He is a genuinely nice person and was always available to answer any questions I had. He made sure we felt comfortable at our rehearsal and did a wonderful job!

    Rev Doug was simply a life-saver. He was able to create a beautiful and meaningful ceremony with us after one meeting on short notice. He worked with us on everything we were looking for and was organized and professional at the rehearsal which helped to calm anxious family members. The day of our ceremony, he delivered a flawless sermon and we would not have had it any other way.

    John and I wanted a certain vision for our wedding and we knew from day one that Rev Douglas would support that vision. We were looking for an officiant that would keep the ceremony spiritual, light, and humorous and that is exactly what we experienced with Douglas. I highly recommend ?anyone getting married to use Rev Douglas Goodson as your officiant. We're so happy that we shared our wedding day with him !!! Thank you so much, Douglas, for giving us fantastic memories from our SPECIAL DAY !

    My now husband and I used Rev Doug as our officiant and we could not be more pleased! Him and his wife are such wonderful people and exceeded our expectations! We knew from our first meeting with them, we have found exactly what we were looking for! It had felt like a very close friend of ours was conducting the ceremony. We promise, if you choose Rev. Doug and his wife you will not be disappointed!

    It was truly an honor to be a part of your ceremony. It was a great morning, spent with great people. We wish you both the best!
