Wedding Officiant
Peter officiated my brothers wedding in October 2019 and most recently, my wedding in September 2020. I absolutely loved our ceremony and he helped to incorporate our personal vows seamlessly. His energy is very warm and calming and I would highly recommend him as an officiant! Thank you so much for making our ceremony so special!!

The day could not have been more perfect and I was honored to preside at your wedding. I wish you all the fullness of life and the blessings it can bestow in your new life together. Warmest Regards, Pete

Pete did a wonderful job officiating our wedding! He was on time, had everything prepared and made the moment feel at ease. I would definitely recommend Pete to officiate!

Wedding Officiant
Due to the COVID19, me and my wife decided to have a small ceremony held at Hartford City Hall - just us and a Justice of the Peace. I found Mr. Gostin via Thumbtack, and I appearantly made a right decision. He arrived on-time (We scheduled to start at 10am, and he was there already when we arrived at 9:30am). His warm attitude and professionalism made our ceremony very lovely. The ceremony was about 10 minutes only, but it was certainly one of the most important 10 minutes in our life, and we are so glad that Mr. Gostin can be the one officiate us. I will recommend to anyone!
Feb 11, 2021VerifiedJustice of the Peace's replyHello Kevin and Ju-Han, Thank you very much for your kind review! It was a pleasure and honor for me to be your wedding officiant on your special "anniversary" day. :-) I wish you many blessings throughout your new life together! Warm Regards, Pete

Wedding Officiant
Pete was amazing!! Pete married us September 26th, 2020 and we are so happy he did. We chose a spiritual ceremony provided by Pete, and more beautiful words could not have been said. Whenever we reached out to Pete with a question, he was very prompt with a reply. On the day of our wedding, Pete was early, he was professional and we even shared a laugh when I goofed a vow. Overall, we could not have chosen a better Justice of the Peace and we recommend his services to anyone interested.

Wedding Officiant
The experience was positive from start to finish. As with anyone who is trying to plan a wedding there was a bit of flakiness on my side and he dealt with everything really well. Not to mention that I actually wrote a custom piece for the ceremony. Doing public speaking quite a bit myself I was anxious to see how he would do with the material. It was an absolute success couldn't have asked for better. Weddings can be a stressful experience from a lot of different Vantage points. If you want to completely eliminate stress in regards to the officiant, I would highly recommend using Pete every time. Vince M
