"Professional, Special, Perfect!

My husband and I do not practice any religion nor are we affiliated with any. It was important to us to keep that out of our ceremony and we didn’t really know where to look. I came across Josh here on Wedding Wire and it was the best thing that could have happened. Josh is one of the friendliest people we have ever met. He was extremely attentive in terms of flexibility and communication and treated us with such love and professionalism. Josh actually ended up writing a custom ceremony for us - we are both theater people and it was “a play”. It fit our relationship to a T and our friends and family believed that we had known Josh for a long time - that is how much he gets to know you as a couple. He also is incredible in terms of improv - our backyard wedding included some yard work noises and he played it off incredibly and with some humor - it was very special and perfectly timed. I can not recommend Josh and his services enough. He made our ceremony a dream come true and it would not have been the same without him."

"Can’t speak highly enough!

My husband and I are so happy with our decision to have Josh officiate our wedding. From the first meeting, we really enjoyed speaking with Josh. We found him personable, funny and genuinely interested in our story.

The ceremony he wrote for us was perfect. He made it so personal there is no way it could have been a ceremony for anyone else. Our guests were laughing and engaged the entire time.

At our reception countless people told us how much they enjoyed the ceremony and where we “found him.”

We highly recommend going with Josh. You’ll be happy you did!"

--Meredith and Matt

"Thank you for putting together a ceremony that we didn't even think was possible! It was perfect and reflected everything we stand for. Our families told us it was the best ceremony they had ever been a part of and we felt the same. You are truly great at working with and understanding people. Our day wouldn't have been the same without you!"

--Adam and Jamie

"I just wanted to send you a huge thank you for recommending Josh Berg to be the officiant at our wedding on July 21st. He did an absolutely wonderful job with our ceremony! He was able to incorporate a humanistic approach to several Jewish elements in our ceremony (i.e., ketubah, huppah, 7 blessings from the community, and breaking the glass), which is exactly what we wanted! I would highly recommend him to anyone else that might be interested in more of a humanistic/secular approach to incorporating Jewish or other cultural traditions into their ceremony, and just wanted to thank you again for recommending him to me."

"Joshua did an AMAZING job as the officiant for our wedding! He created the perfect ceremony for us that incorporated both humanistic and Jewish elements. Everything he wrote in the ceremony was so personal, touching, and heartfelt, and it was exactly what we wanted. I would HIGHLY recommend him!"

--Becky and John

"Josh was the perfect officiant for our wedding! I contacted him only a couple weeks before the ceremony due to a change of plans. He was quick to respond and very accommodating! He put my stresses at ease. We loved how he personalized the ceremony to suit our relationship and personalities. He made us feel comfortable and as if we had known him for years, though we had only met just a couple weeks before the ceremony. We even had a major change of location at the last minute due to a storm on the coast and Josh went out of his way to travel to our new location in the midst of all of the chaos of the storm. We were so happy with the way everything turned out and would recommend Josh to anyone!"

--Jamie and Scott

"Working with Josh was an absolute pleasure! He really took the time to get to know my husband and myself in order to craft a wonderful ceremony. I would highly recommend him!"

--Laurie and John

"Josh was excellent! Our ceremony was so personalized - explaining my husband and I to a T. I would highly recommend Josh to anyone who is looking for a humanist to marry them!

--Meghan and Kyle

"Joshua was an absolutely fantastic Celebrant! Our wedding plans developed very quickly and Joshua was there to help us and work around our busy schedules. My wife speaks Spanish so Joshua took the time to research Spanish poets and incorporate that into our ceremony. His tone was so warm and friendly that some of our guests even asked if he was family. Looking back on the day, I feel so fortunate we selected Joshua as he custom ceremony really was something we will never forget!"

--Bradley and Monica

"We were very lucky to find you and we feel like our wedding wouldn't have been the same without you. We had no idea how all this worked and you truly helped us with finding the right words for each other and really understanding what our marriage meant. The ceremony you wrote was stunningly beautiful and was truly fit for us as a couple. We couldn't have hoped for a more personal wedding ceremony even though we felt like we didn't give you enough material. The fact that you took the time to see us several times and talk to us as much as we wanted through emails made the wedding day a lot less stressful. It felt like we were seeing an old friend again. Also, we would like to thank you so much for making the very long trip to us, you kept your commitment when you could have easily bailed on us. I was pleasantly surprised, and very glad you didn't."

--Lulu and Brice

"Josh officiated our elopement and it was beyond perfect! He was always very accessible and flexible, even though our ceremony was kind of last minute. He made the speech very personalized to us and was such a pleasure! I highly recommend him to anyone!"

--Anna and Yoann

"My wife and I, being from completely different backgrounds, wanted to find an officiant that could represent us both in front of all the people we love for a memory that will last forever. After meeting with Josh, he took his time to get a better understanding as to who we are and why we wanted to be married. He brilliantly and creatively found a way to weave our history, our individuality and our unity in a way that made my guests smile from his wittiness, and were also moved with his words.
Josh, we will remember you forever. Thank you so much!
We truly will remember you for ever!!!"

--Anu and James

"My (now) husband and I are from different religious and cultural backgrounds. So, getting married under one religion was not an option if we were to honor and respect each other’s beliefs. We asked Josh to marry us because we knew he would and could respect our differences. He took a lot of time creating a very touching and inspirational ceremony which also honored the memory of my father, whose birthday we chose as our wedding day. Josh was able to tie in all that was important to us and that mattered a great deal."
