Joan Gross's Company Details

I am a retired Catholic Priest on inactive status. I perform marriages in the capacity of a Non- Denominational Minister. I have been performing weddings throughout the Orange, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo counties since 1971. I perform weddings for couples of ALL religious backgrounds, and even for couples who want absolutely nothing religious in their ceremony. I have planned and performed thousands of weddings. In the planning time I have never presented Ceremonies A, B and C for the bride and groom to review, with them having to choose the ceremony that would do "the least damage to their relationship". Rather, I plan each ceremony with the bride and groom so that the celebration is exactly what they want it to be. It usually takes only one, two hour planning session to accomplish this. The ceremony we plan may be very traditional or just the opposite. HOWEVER, it is also a great joy for me to celebrate the ELOPEMENT. I do speak Spanish. I also celebrate Quinceañeras and wedding anniversaries.
