Experience
Before becoming an Interfaith minister, Reverend Olivieri was a Wall Street broker and successful business owner. However, it all changed for him after the tragedy of 9/11. Rev. Olivieri worked at the World Trade Center and lived in the same neighborhood. This earth-shattering event changed his perspective, and guided him towards a spiritual path. Now he practices as both a minister and practitioner of Unity Principles and faith.

The Best Man and the BEST officiant

We got married in August of 2024 and Rev Louis officiated our wedding. From our first time meeting Louis, we were overwhelmed with happiness as we knew we had found the perfect person to officiate our wedding. Both my husband and I left with tears in our eyes from the amazing ideas of how to make our wedding day and ceremony unique but so special and us. Every encounter we had with Louis he became more of a friend and someone we genuinely were so excited to talk to. He was professional but also made the process fun and did an amazing job incorporating what we wanted into our ceremony. When my grandmother past right before our wedding, he was also there for us as a friend and was a steady sense of comfort in what felt like a room of grey clouds hovering over us and found perfect ways to honor her during the ceremony which we were so grateful for. If you are looking for someone who will not only be a vendor but truly will spend time getting to know you and make the process enjoyable and comfortable look no further than Louis, he is an amazing man and the BEST person to officiate your wedding!

Excellent 5 STARS

Excellent very genuine and professional. Feels like we were being married by a long time friend which helped us a lot when it came to us feeling comfortable at our actually ceremony. I highly recommend that if you’re looking for someone who is actually happy that you’re getting married versus someone who is only there for a pay day. He makes you feel comfortable every step of the way through out the entire process. BIG FIVE STARS thank you once again and it was a pleasure meeting you.

We said "I do" to Lou!

Lou was awesome - he made us both feel comfortable about the whole ceremony and marriage process. He met with us multiple times via facetime which helped us build a relationship before the big day. He gave a great homily and throughout the ceremony mentioned personal details about our life which made us feel extremely special!!
