    Amazing!!

    Pastor Joshua Kapchinsky and Jennifer Maglio were incredible to work with from start to finish. They listened carefully to what my wife and I wanted for our ceremony and checked in with us throughout the planning process to make sure everything felt right. Jennifer wrote a beautiful speech that perfectly captured our story and relationship, then Pastor Joshua delivered the ceremony with such warmth and grace. They were both so genuinely kind and went out of their way to help us feel calm and supported on our wedding day. We felt like they truly cared about making our ceremony special. We cannot recommend them highly enough to any couple looking for an officiant.

    Pastor Josh and his secretary Jennifer tailored the wedding ceremony script to perfectly fit with our families and circumstances. We (and all our guests) found the ceremony really moving. Thank you so much Pastor Josh and Jennifer!

    From our first conversation with Pastor Joshua Kapchinsky, we knew we had found the right person to officiate our wedding. He had this gift for making us feel comfortable and relaxed while also taking the ceremony seriously, which meant the world to us. Joshua and Jennifer took the time to learn our story and wrote a script that felt personal and true to who we are as a couple. His spiritual approach brought depth to our vows without ever feeling heavy or preachy. On the day of, he kept everything flowing smoothly and his warmth made our guests feel the love in the room. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant and would absolutely recommend him to any couple looking for someone who will make their ceremony feel genuine and special.

    Best Pastor for our Special Day

    Working with Pastor Joshua Kapchinsky was such a smooth experience from our first zoom call, to meeting in person and sharing our story from start to finish. His assistant Jennifer was so amazing through all the planning process and staying in touch with me every step of the way and making sure everything was perfect for the big day. When it came time for the big day before the ceremony started Pastor Joshua came to see each of us separately to bring a sense a calmness and reassurance. During the ceremony, Pastor Joshua was amazing —he shared our love story and tied in our religious beliefs as well, and it felt like we were being married by family rather than someone we'd just hired. Coming from a religious family with pastors it was such a blessing to have my family positively comment on our ceremony. Thank you Pastor Joshua you truly are amzing we are so glad you made our ceremony so special. You truly are one of a kind, and would recommend you to any couple.
