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.
