Wow, What A Blessing He Is!

No words can really articulate our level of happiness and gratefulness when it comes to Pastor Josh. He officiated our very unique Unity Ceremony and he did so with so much genuine love, care, and friendliness. Everyone at our ceremony raved about how much they loved Pastor Josh. You would have thought that we've known each other for years even though we just met! I would highly recommend partnering with Pastor Josh for your event/ceremony. He's something special, that's for sure!

What a wonderful and beautiful experience!

We were provided our officiant, Pastor Joshua Kapchinsky, through our wedding venue, Wedgewood Danza Del Sol. We didn't now what to expect, as neither of us are very religious or knew Pastor Joshua previously. A few months before the wedding his assistant Jennifer reached out to set up a meeting to discuss our upcoming wedding. At our first meeting both Pastor Joshua and Jennifer took the time to understand what WE were looking for in our wedding ceremony and what they could do to make it everything that we wanted. This was a huge relief as both my husband and I really wanted to have something simple, non religious, and there was absolutely no pressure to change out minds. After the call Jennifer sent over a few different script options, provided some unity ceremony ideas (we weren't totally set on if we wanted one), and edited everything to our liking. On the day of the wedding Pastor Joshua showed up and provided a beautiful ceremony for us, you would have thought he'd known both us for years in how he spoke. It truly was a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend Pastor Joshua to anyone. Thank you both him and Jennifer for making our day amazing!

What an incredible experience

We are so grateful to Pastor Josh for starting our day off with the most calm, kind energy we could possibly hope for. We had so many guests comment on the beautiful ceremony, and he and his assistant Jennifer were probably the most organized and helpful vendors we had. THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU TWO
