Meredith and Paul at Adelphi Mill
I would love to perform a custom wedding designed especially for you and the one you love. From the largest gothic cathedral in the world to the most intimate wedding chapel, from a families' living room to a hotel ballroom, from the shores of Lake Superior to the Colorado Rockies and the Bahama beaches, I have helped couples plan and experience the wedding of their dreams. Trained in a Christian/Jewish seminary, ordained as an Episcopal priest and having performed hundreds of traditional, contemporary and interfaith weddings, I believed that together we can create the wedding you envision.

July 13, 2017Rev. Joel is more than an officiant. He is a friend and a confidant. He is by far the best officiant we have ever seen. The reason why he is the best is not because of his professionalism, but because he adds the human element in the ceremony. By this we mean that he sees us as a couple rather than just two people getting married . He took the time to get to knows us; learning our story and adding to our journey. Our guests LOVED him and raved about him from the moment he pronounced us husband and wife. Thanks a million Rev. Joel, your officiating of our wedding really helped set the tone for our big day. We are happy to have been married by you.

May 12, 2017Rev Joel Gibson was very attentive to our needs, flexible and open-minded, provided a lot of really good suggestions and was a blessing to work with. Rev Gibson guided us through a ceremony scripted just for us with his eloquent words that touched the hearts of everyone in the room.

I have loved working with Dorothy. She is known around the world as an outstanding musician. Together we have planned some of the most intimate and some of the most grand events that have met every expectation of those getting married. She continues to be one of the most valued members of my wedding team.

I work collaboratively with the couple and their wedding planner, if one is in place, to design and conduct the wedding of their dreams. I offer premarital counseling sessions, both in person and long distance, that assist the couple in exploring their journey to the point of deciding to marry and highlighting the gifts of their relationship that will help carry them through a life-long union. I enjoy working with creative and energetic wedding planners and love to help design events that can be conducted in all types of settings. While located in New York City, I am willing to travel to most locations.
