Wedding Officiants in New Britain, CT

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY BIO. I hope that once you contacted me that you will respond to my email or text. I know that life gets busy, but I appreciate a reply. If you are finding it necessary to send requests to 4 or 5 JP's because you are looking for prices, than please do not include me. I pay a fee to Thumbtack every time you send an inquiry, and my prices are already competitive, and I have much to offer you. As one of the most requested Justices of the Peace in Connecticut, and also serving NY, MA, and RI, I have over 18 years and 800+ weddings of ongoing experience. I pride myself in creating a ceremony that is personal and meaningful. We will work together to construct your ceremony. I also welcome a friend or family member to do a reading during your ceremony. I am fortunate to be a preferred vendor for the CT wedding Group. I recently retired from 45 years in the medical field. I was extremely proud to be part of the healthcare field as a Radiologic Technologist. I focused on Mammography as my specialty, and the last 10 years was as a manager of a large Outpatient Imaging Center for a local hospital. I bring that care and kindness to my role as a Justice of the Peace. It all starts with a phone call, Facetime or Zoom. That way I can get a chance to hear your story and what I can do to make your ceremony unique and memorable. Whether this is your first marriage, or second, I take care to make you comfortable and I walk you through the steps of what you are required to do to obtain your marriage license in your state. At our first contact, I will give you an outline of a typical ceremony, so you know what to expect. Most ceremonies are typically 10 minutes. I can suggest some special additions that include Handfasting, Sand, Love Lock, or Rose ceremony. I have been married for over 38 years, and we have a blended family of 4 children and 4 grandchildren. I am happy to say that they are all here in CT. I am the youngest of 3 girls, and between us we can all officiate at weddings. My oldest sister Susan is a retired Methodist minister in California, and my middle sister Sally is a JP in Ridgefield. So, it is "all in the family!" Thank you for taking the time learn about me and how I can make your ceremony a great memory.

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.

I was bridal consultant for 20yrs. I've been a Connecticut Justice of the Peace for more than 26yrs. I'm starting my 27th year of performing ceremonies in CT.. Every ceremony is customized to each couple's requests. I enjoy every aspect of wedding ceremony process. I'm open to any input the couple may have to personalize THEIR ceremony. I'm always happy to meet with the couple to discuss the ceremony, make suggestions such as, writing personal vows, readings by significant family member or friends, unity candle, or sand ceremony which would personalize their ceremony.

Call me a romantic, I believe in the spirit of love and the hope it represents. I have performed over 250 weddings, from small intimate weddings to venues with over 300 invited guests. Each one is Unique and SPECIAL. I will perform all weddings (traditional and same sex), vow renewal or commitment ceremonies. I'm ordained solely for the purpose to perform weddings; non-denominational, Christian. Judgement free. Member of local church. My services are not my primary income, so I can provide quality service at a lower cost. My fee is based on travel distance from my home, not the size of the wedding. For example: Wallingford/Meriden: $150 As a veteran, I offer a military discount, please let me know your military status when you request a quote.
