Dr. John R. Goss, III

Officiant and Celebrant

I am an ordained (nondenominational/interfaith) minister, qualified to perform weddings in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia.  My study has prepared me to offer guidance in services of commitment, of inclusion and of recognition.

​

I offer personalized ceremonies, created in partnership with you, designed to reflect your individual personalities and commitment.  Regardless of the form you choose for your ceremony, my services include

​

  • Consultation with unlimited phone, email, and in-person consultations

  • Professionally officiating your fully customized ceremony

  • Travel to the ceremony venue and arriving an hour prior to ceremony start time

  • Collaboration with your wedding coordinator, photographer/videographer, and other participants to ensure a ceremony that flows well and you get the shots you want

  • Signing and mailing your marriage license--and ensuring we comply with marriage law.

​

I have served as a counselor, professor and elected public official.  In each of these my focus has been on serving others to better live full and engaging lives--as each has chosen to live that life.  Perhaps I can be of assistance to you.
