Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Every couple and every family is unique, and ceremonies should be a reflection of your unique experiences. Working with you without judgment (but with professional eye to content and flow), I can help you create a ceremony that is best suited to your personal tastes, from a more traditional service to one that is tasteful and dignified yet a bit unconventional. My role is to be there, offering guidance and support in making choices which are right for you and your intentions. This is a hobby, not a profession. I invite you to discuss your plans with me. I suggest you take a look at my website for a sense of how I approach things, to ensure that we are a match.

Dr. John Goss made our ceremony at The Back Farm on Piney Run on June 9th very special. He was extremely easy to work with and responded promptly to all questions that I had concerning the wedding. He allowed me to personalize the script of the wedding to make it more meaningful and unique to us. He had a pleasant attitude and a great sense of humor. I would highly recommend Dr. Goss if you are searching for a very professional and kind officiant!

Details: Wedding • Non-denominational (mentions God) • 201 - 300 guests • Help writing vows will be needed • English • Officiant will be needed at the rehearsal

Would recommend Dr. John to anyone. He made the officiant process so easy. He communicated very professionally, showed up extra early for both the rehearsal and ceremony so we did not have to worry. He really made it a point to get to know us for our ceremony to be personable. His services were great!

Details: Wedding • Non-religious (no mention of God) • 151 - 200 guests • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal

We had two ceremonies with Dr. Gross; one to get the legal part done during covid and the second for the actual celebration with family and friends. Both times he was super kind and helpful when it came to getting the scripts modified/completed. We had a non-religious ceremony that was lord of the rings themed and he was very receptive to the unique script we wrote. He is very well spoken and has a great voice for this type of work. We would recommend him to anyone.

Details: Wedding • Non-religious (no mention of God) • 20 guests or fewer • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will be needed at the rehearsal

I was very much satisfied with his service! He was friendly, punctual, and accommodating. He even helped calm me when I told him I was nervous. He's a good officiator!
