What some of my clients have said about me…
Weddings:
“Dear Janice, I wanted to say thank you for the most beautiful ceremony you gave us yesterday. It touched us and many of our guests. Many commented that it was the most personal and heart-filled ceremony they had ever experienced. Your words will remain in our heart for the rest of our lives. It was particularly meaningful to me since you have been my life coach and support in last few months…I felt blessings by the air, wind, son and the mother earth. I cannot thank you enough for the gift you gave us. I am so happy that you are a big part of my/our new journey. With much love. Tai”
“Through 26 years of experience as a professional photographer, this is one of the few weddings that had a very personal approach. It was spiritual, based on love, family values, togetherness, and included the children. It was from her heart, truly, for bride and groom brought together in spirit, and both families got involved in the process. I was touched; behind the camera is a man – it touched my soul as I participated in exchange of spiritual togetherness and community.” Al from H&H photographers www.handphotographers.com at Lynda and Andrew’s wedding.
“Thank you Janice for the lovely ceremony you performed for us on such short notice. You were so awesome. Our family was happy with the ceremony and enjoyed having it in your lovely home. Thank you for everything. Our deepest gratitude.” Maria and Victor, Bronx, NY
“I’m still floating on air, and I can’t thank you enough for your participation in our wedding. Your ‘words’ made everything feel just so right, so heartfelt, so candid and special-to everyone present. Like I told you at the start of that morning, you are a most beautiful soul and I feel absolutely privileged for having met you. I plan on staying in-touch, and I’d recommend you to any couple in a heartbeat.” Marianne, from Yonkers, NY
“Hi Janice, …I see many weddings, but this was such a special one since Gaby and Jim’s intimate ceremony was personally written and therefore so meaningful. I really respect the way you spoke and read the ceremony as I tell the brides and grooms who come to see me how important it is for friends and family to be the witness to vows of commitment. Sometimes they are so caught up in the huge plans, (probably thought about since childhood) that they can forget the why of it all. Perhaps because I’ve spent so much time in 3rd world countries, photographed wars, refugee camps and all kinds of other stories, I can get a grip on the joy and the meaning of the ceremony as well as the fun of the party…Much regards, TRIX” TRIX ROSEN, Photojournalist 212 228-8100 Trix@TrixRosen.com www.Trixrosen.com

Rost was very friendly and patient with the language considerations, we have been a couple for eleven years, was also to confirm the reason for our love and learn the basic for resolving marital issues and overcoming challengers and ensure we have a strong , healthy relationship.
Our wedding was a very unusual, we were planning a last minute wedding after been turned down several times, we were beginning to lose hope that there would be wedding at all, that was when come across Rev. Rost. She was available when we needed her, and we always be grateful, Rev. Rost was very warm she have a supportive nature and helped us to create a wedding that collaborated all of our ideas and needs.

Everyone loved our ceremony and will remember it always. Thanks to you it was beautiful ceremony. Love to you always, Jimmy and Stacey” Pleasantville, NY
“We were so pleased to have found Reverend Janice Arlene Rost to co-officiate our wedding. She spent a lot of time getting to know us and understanding what we wanted out of our wedding ceremony. She was incredibly flexible in coordinating details with our other officiant (long story-but basically the family friend we had originally set up to marry us couldn’t legally do it in the state we were getting married but we still wanted them involved) and the day went super smoothly. The ceremony was beautiful and we received many compliments from our guests on how heartfelt and meaningful it was. She is a special lady who we still keep in contact with 5 years later. We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone we know! “ Jason & Adriana Brooks Of Newtown, CT

Dear Janice, …Thank you for the lovely, warm wedding ceremony you performed for Greg and Kristine on October 2nd. It certainly was the highlight of their day as they shared with me at brunch the next day. There certainly has been a great amount of personal growth in each of them and I believe the meaningful words of the ceremony will provide them with much more. So many people commented to me how wonderful the words of the ceremony were. Thank you, Janice, for all you did in creating a beautiful wedding ceremony. It was most enjoyable being with you at dinner as well.Your truly, Kathi, Mother of Groom
“…We have the ceremony, and we love it. The more elaborate questions and revised vows now include everything that we want to express on that day, and we couldn’t be happier with the wording. Thank you for taking the time to work through all of that with us. Your patience and support made that process possible.” Peggy and Neil, Brooklyn, NY

“Dear Janice: Just a note to thank you from the heart for the beautiful way in which Gabriella and Jim’s ceremony was performed. You captured what they really are about and I know that everyone who witnessed the ceremony will take your words and their import with them for a long time to come. Would it be possible for you to email the ceremony? I would very much like to send it along to my Mother and Brothers. Thank you again. Anne B (Jim’s Mom) Please feel free to quote me. I can’t tell you how many others who were at the ceremony said the very same thing! We have been blessed. Thank you again. Sincerely, Anne B”

“Dear Janice, It was such a pleasure meeting you this past Sunday. Erika and I really enjoyed our conversation and thank you for helping clarify the logistics and content of our wedding ceremony. Your ability to create an atmosphere where we both felt comfortable sharing our feelings is a credit to you and your work. We look forward to having you celebrate our wedding on September 14…We look forward to reviewing the various proposed ceremonies and discussing how we can tailor one to fit our personalities and desires. Thanks again! Kind regards, Cory”
“it was every bit as wonderful as we’d dreamed it could be. Thank you so much for your presence and spirit and love at our wedding this past June. It was clear to us form our first contact with you that the Universe sent you to us and us to you. A way opened for us to be married with you as our Guide; the seeming obstacles beforehand were a gift in disguise that led us to you. The ceremony that you co-created with us and shared with our loved ones was absolutely beautiful. Several guests told us it was the most meaningful and heartfelt wedding ceremony they had ever attended. With your help, we were able to create a ceremony that reflected our relationships, to each other and to our loved ones, and expressed what was in our heats and our commitments for the future. We could not have asked for a more graceful and mindful delivery and expression of this creation than you provided. Your presence was powerful and grounding. Thank you, from our hearts, for that gift…We do not yet know when we can be in your area again to meet with you for a post-wedding session. We will look forward to that special time, whenever it is to be. With gratitude and affection, JoAnn and Chip” Pennington, NJ
“Dear Janice, Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful service at our wedding. We’ve received so many compliments on our beautiful ceremony – you certainly would receive our highest recommendations! Sincerely, Laura and Al”
“Dear Reverend Janice, We felt very comfortable with you after our initial telephone conversation. Our first meeting was even better. You made us both feel very relaxed in your presence. Your input with the ceremony was more than I could have ever imagined. It was so much fun for us to help create it as a couple. I don’t think we would have thought of doing that had you not introduced us to the idea. I must admit that I didn’t think we needed pre-marital counseling, but you have helped us to learn even more about ourselves and each other. This can only help us in the path we have chosen together. We are so looking forward to our wedding day and sharing it with you. Reverend Janice, you will always be in our thoughts and our prayers. We truly appreciate all that you have done for us. May God bless you always, Michelle & Albe”
“Dearest Reverend Janice, Walter and I wanted to thank you for this afternoon. Not only did you make us feel comfortable and at ease but you went out of your way for our children. We received so much from speaking and sharing with you and we took everything that was said to heart and made it matter. Especially us opening ourselves up to so many possibilities. We are confident and committed to creating a marriage in and with love and trust. We truly appreciate the honesty and guidance that you extended to us and are looking forward to lifetime of rewards through the help that you gave us to understanding. Walter and I took this evening for only us and had a wonderful time. So many times Walter had told me in the past that I am mysterious, and today I found myself sharing with him some of the more difficult moments in my life that he never knew. I think that he appreciated in knowing where I had been in order to understand where I am today. Knowing who you are totally depends on knowing who you are not. This is the way that we feel that we can glorify ourselves and God. Again, we want to thank you for the guidance and the gentle touch that you gave us today. We hope all the best for a truly blessed new year rich with all the gifts that you have given to others. Our heartfelt thanks, Maria, Walter, Janina and Sara”

It was very personal, in that it depicted who we are, how our relationship has evolved, and what marriage means to us. You did a terrific job of tying it all together and presenting it beautifully. Our guests commented on your service and I’m sure you will be recommended by all of us! We can’t wait to see the video back so that we can hear the vows all over again! Thank you so much, Sandy and Dennis” Pt. Chester, NY
I felt so reassured after our visit. It is an honor and a pleasure to have you perform my ceremony. Leesa” Peekskill, NY
Our sincerest thanks to you for supporting our new life together with such openness and appreciation. One of our biggest wedding hurdles was overcome only through your willingness to help us express our vows in our own words, not someone else’s. the result was evidently clear in the room November 6, 1993, but is equally clear today as we re-read the beautiful rendition of our ceremony you sent. We have not yet done a commemorative photo album or scrapbook, and I’d love to make your work a centerpiece. For always, you brought beauty into our lives and memories into our hearts to last a lifetime. Best wishes, Ginny and Gene”, Nelsonville, NY

“Hi Janice, Just wanted to touch base with you and thank you so much for all your time and care on Labor Day weekend. It helped so much to be able to talk to you! You are a compassionate, loving, strong presence. You gave me room to go where I needed to go to open up the feelings that were buried under the surface. I’m feeling better since then, have been getting in touch with some of my anger, which has been a big help. I think assertiveness and self-esteem is really blocked when the pathway to anger is blocked. I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to work with you; I found it very healing. I’m sending you lots of love! In gratitude,” MR (a medical doctor)
“I had one impromptu session with Janice several months ago. Prior to initiating the craniosacral work, I discussed with her my digestive problems that I’ve been suffering from for many years, trying many different things without relief. She gave me dietary advice that I have followed since and has been THE FIRST thing ever to make a difference. I am forever grateful to her for this, she has a great repository of knowledge regarding healthy lifestyle. The craniosacral session was very powerful as well. I would recommend Janice to anyone without hesitation. She combines knowledge and skill, and takes the time and energy to really see how best to help the client.” M. from NYC
“Janice Rost is an excellent care provider for those in need bringing to her clients holistic and alternative experience. Her healing touch and gentle ways create an atmosphere that assists the healing process. Whether it is hospital care or home health care that is required, she brings years of expertise to the situation. For those suffering from nutritional difficulties, product allergies and rare energy deficiencies, she has the wherewithal to advise wisely.
Speaking from personal experience, I recommend Janice especially for her excellent energy field therapies and workmanship. During periods of extreme stress and physical pain, her presence helped to alleviate much of the obvious discomforts. Healing hands and warmth of heart are her trademarks and a strong indication of the gentle spirit that lives within Janice.”

“Rev. Rost invited us…to do the prenuptial marriage counseling. When asked if we wanted to do a 1 1/2 session or a 3 hour session, we decided on the latter because we wanted to get as much out of the therapy as possible. It turned out to be the right choice…The therapy session, I noticed that Rev. Rost had a very peaceful way about her. Although, I was a bit nervous with the wedding on my mind, she put me at ease with her calm, yet friendly nature. The whole therapy session lasted 4 1/2 hours, but we enjoyed it so much that we didn’t notice how long it was lasting. However, even at this time, Rev. Rost did not rush us out. Rather, she was very generous with her time and made it obvious that it was more important for her to know that we were satisfied with the therapy session. Steve and I are very grateful for this, because we both felt that we bonded in such a way that we had not experienced in all the years that we’ve known each other.The extended therapy session enabled us to become more emotionally ready for our marriage. Steve and I feel that we made the right choice by having Rev. Rost as our minister in marriage…We are eternally grateful for Rev. Rost’s personal involvement, meticulous work, and most of all her wisdom and knowledge in creating a beautiful wedding ceremony.” Naomi and Steve, Brooklyn, NY
