Introduction

Hi! I'm Peter Gostin and I reside in New Britain. Licensed within the state of CT. Will marry people at city hall, within city limits or 10 miles radius outside of city. Some distance exceptions allowed on case-to-case basis; additional mileage fee amount included in first response. I enjoy honoring and formalizing a couple's commitment to each other, and highlighting the time where together, in pledged solidarity, they began the next phase of their lives. Note: Are you also looking for a jeweler? I have a long time associate who is ready to provide for your every need with his service. I do not charge a referral fee for any leads nor accept any finders' fees from the jeweler so your business is solely with the jeweler.
