Thank you!

Working with Doug and Theresa was phenomenal! They made us feel super comfortable throughout the planning process and went above and beyond ensuring that names were pronounced properly. I appreciated their willingness to assist us in making sure my mom was present in our ceremony! Thank you so much -Doug and Blanca Goetz

Happy customers!!

Reverend Doug and his wife make a great team when it comes to weddings. We had an outdoor ceremony at Ned’s Point in Mattapoisett, so our rehearsal was there in the pouring rain-yikes!! It was terrible weather the day of the rehearsal and rev Doug and his wife still came to rehearse with us!! The day of our wedding was perfect, thank goodness! They brought their Bluetooth speaker to play our ceremony music since I freaked out 2 weeks before the wedding when I realized I didn't have a way of playing music for our ceremony. JOL Ministry was such a reliable, accommodating, and affordable officiant and I couldn't recommend them more!!
