The Best Pastor!
“Josh is a great pastor and officiant! Despite our different religious backgrounds, he offered several templates from Christian to contemporary for the opening speech and curated it to be special for us. It meant a lot to me and my now husband that Josh took the time to learn who we are and incorporate that in our ceremony, it made our day feel even more special. Josh is responsive and answered our emails in a swift fashion as well as calling us to check in if we missed any emails. I highly recommend Josh if your looking for a professional and kind pastor/officiant!” - Ashley Newton

Amazing, personalized experience
I contacted Josh regarding a vow renewal for two of my clients coming from France. They were visiting NYC for their 10th anniversary and were hoping to have an intimate ceremony with some friends in the area. Josh went above and beyond for their renwal! We spoke multiple times before the ceremony to make sure it was tailored exactly to their needs and wishes, even adapting so far as to making the ceremony secular. The vow renewal ceremony was one of their favorite moments from this extremely special trip, and we all recommend him with absolutely no hesitation.-Louan P.

Pastor Josh is wonderful!
We are so incredibly lucky to have found Pastor Josh Lee to be our officiant. Not only was he an incredible officiant, but also a wonderful, caring person who went above and beyond to make our ceremony special and thoughtful. He got to know us as people, and seemed to deeply care about getting to know us and our faith journeys. Josh navigated important questions we both had about marriage, faith and what we wanted our ceremony to be. Many of our family and friends came up to us afterwards to let us know that Josh’s ceremony was one of the best they’ve ever heard. Josh brought most of us to laughter and tears that day, and we are forever grateful that he was there for us, and that he is now in our lives. Can’t recommend him highly enough!! -Mary Baynard

Thoughtful, Supportive and Personalized!
My husband and I chose to unite in marriage after heartbreaking experiences in our past. Josh's approach to our unique situation was thoughtful and loving. His pre-marital counseling helped us talk through the issues pertaining to marriages not only after failure but later in life. The ceremony itself was personal and the whole room was in tears. The entire experience spoke to our hearts and minds and truly captured where we were in our journey. So thankful for his wisdom and guidance during such a wonderful moment in our lives!-Beth Crider

A wonderful experience!
Have no worries using Pastor Josh as your wedding officiant. He was so kind to us and really listened to our needs. We wanted a simple service but yet Christian, words that would be meaningful to us. Josh gave us several suggestions of scripts that we modified and were able to find what we wanted. Josh was caring and very interested in us and our life situation. He is very relatable and ran the service seamlessly. Please consider Josh Lee for your wedding officiant.

He worked with us to create the ceremony that we wanted, and was professional yet passionate throughout the process. If you are looking for an inclusive and polished officiant, Josh would be an excellent choice!

Intimate small ceremony made perfect
Josh was the final piece joining everything we put together for our special, special day. He helped make our moment personalized and added a feel of love and harmony all around. I asked to add a quote from The Lord of the Rings last minute and he successfully added the line and had more than a few of our family and friends shed a happy tear.

Perfect Wedding Day
When my now wife and I first decided that we wanted to have a Pastor to officiate our wedding,we honestly didn’t know where to start. We had tried a church that we had gone to before that we kind of liked but quickly found out going through the wedding process our values and theirs did not align at all. We felt at a loss and unsure of what to do, so we decided to go on wedding wire to see if we could find a better fit. We could not have asked for someone better than Josh Lee. He made everything so easy for us and truly cared to learn about us, not only in our journey of faith but as people too. He walked us through each step of the process and was keen on incorporating all our fun ideas to make the cemorary exactly as we wanted. The day of the wedding brought both many tears and many laughs but even some applause 👏🏽 everyone including us will remember that day and will forever be grateful that we found Josh.

Thoughtful, caring pre-marital counseling
Josh was an incredible resource for my fianceé and myself as we prepare for married life. He sent us a detailed sheet of 100+ questions that we filled out independently, and we had two sessions to discuss any questions where we were not completely aligned or hadn't explicitly gone over logistics. He was a great listener and facilitator, and we feel incredibly confident after our experience.

Amazing Pastor
Josh is an amazing pastor, he was on time and attending to both my wife and I before the ceremony to check up on us. During the ceremony itself he made it feel personal and made our day special. From the poem to the quotes from our favorite pop culture series (star wars) he really curated our ceremony experience. He has a friendly deposition and always was approachable leading up to the wedding. I cannot recommend him enough.

Incredible Officiant
Description goes hereJosh did an absolutely phenomenal job at our ceremony. What drew us to Josh was his authenticity and style that he presented in his example videos, little did we know though that he's 100x better in person and honestly I don't think words can encapsulate how thrilled we are that we chose Josh as our officiant.
He blew us away with the level of personalization he was able to weave into our ceremony through the stories and quips our friends submitted through a survey he had us send out.
We'd highly recommend Josh to anyone, his demeanor, ability to speak to an audience, and ceremony crafting skill is second to none. We felt our ceremony was beyond perfect and wouldn't have changed a thing!

Amazing Wedding Ceremony
After discovering that our church’s pastor was not able to marry us (about 3 weeks before our wedding) I was in a panic. After some searching, I found Josh. He was quick, polite, and efficient. Our first meeting with Josh was via telephone. He put us at ease and made us excited again. Josh was very knowledgeable. He really allowed us to customize how we wanted our ceremony. Our second meeting was via video, which confirmed he was the right fit for us! The day of the wedding, he was prepared and on time. Our families really enjoyed him and the ceremony. His genuine personality and dedication is infectious and so worth getting to meet him. We HIGHLY recommend Josh for all of your wedding needs!
Having proudly earned a stellar reputation as a 5-star officiant and recipient of the coveted Couples' Choice Awards in 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, I have recently embarked on an exciting journey of independence. As I transition away from WeddingWire and The Knot, I am thrilled to announce the launch of my own website, where I am dedicated to creating personalized and unforgettable ceremonies. Join me on this new chapter, where my passion for officiating and commitment to excellence continue to shine brightly!
