Introduction
Hi! I'm Peter Gostin and I reside in New Britain. Licensed within the state of CT. Will marry people at city hall, within city limits or 10 miles radius outside of city. Some distance exceptions allowed on case-to-case basis; additional mileage fee amount included in first response. I enjoy honoring and formalizing a couple's commitment to each other, and highlighting the time where together, in pledged solidarity, they began the next phase of their lives. Note: Are you also looking for a jeweler? I have a long time associate who is ready to provide for your every need with his service. I do not charge a referral fee for any leads nor accept any finders' fees from the jeweler so your business is solely with the jeweler.

We were so lucky to have Pete as our wedding officiant! He took the job on just a few weeks notice and was incredibly patient with all the questions I had before the big day. He showed up on time and the ceremony itself was beautiful, personal, and heartfelt. He was even thoughtful enough to ask us what he should wear to make sure his outfit would match the vibe of our wedding. It was clear that he wanted everything to be perfect for us. Pete's professionalism and warmth made our day even more special, and we are so grateful to have had him officiate our wedding. We couldn't have been happier with Pete and we highly recommend him to any couple looking for an officiant who is not only skilled, but truly cares about doing a great job and making the ceremony memorable!

Details: Elopement • Non-denominational (mentions God) • 20 guests or fewer • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal
