    Expert Interfaith Minister

    Reverend Lou Olivieri is an expert interfaith officiant. We worked together closely for five months, and during that time, he offered us hands-on guidance and feedback throughout every step of the process - from keeping us on schedule for getting our marriage license, to offering us 40 pages of readings for our ceremony to choose from, to sharing his wisdom and best practices from the thousands of weddings he’s officiated.

    Both of us come from multi-faith families - what sets Lou apart is that he understands the dynamics and complexities that come with not having a clear set of traditions or rituals to incorporate. Despite selecting a neutral wedding venue for our ceremony, Lou made our ceremony feel substantial and holy. Early on, Lou had important conversations with us (both virtually and over lunch in-person) about the role that faith plays in our lives so that we could shape how our wedding ceremony could be a reflection of our combined values. He was respectful of our choice to honor both of our families’ traditions… he even signed our ketubah!

    We enthusiastically recommend Lou with no reservations. Thank you, Lou, for helping us establish a spiritual foundation for our home.

    Passionate

    Lou was born to be a guide for couples getting married. His passion shines through in so many ways. First, he strikes a great balance of taking into account your needs and requests while advising on how to maximize the beauty of your ceremony. Second, he goes well beyond just performing the services and becomes a partner, confidant, and friend as you move through your marriage. Lastly, he is incredibly proactive and hard-working towards making your day special. Lou has many customers, and sometimes details need to be re-established a few times, but he puts in the work to make sure your day is unforgettable. We highly recommend Lou for your wedding!

    Highly Recommend

    Reverend Olivieri was recommended to us by our wedding planner, and we would highly recommend him to any and all couples. He was extremely caring, and thoughtful, and took the time to get to know us and our relationship genuinely. He also added in a few fun wrinkles to the ceremony to make it extra special and catered to our specific wants and needs. It was a great experience!

    Louis is amazing!!!!

    Louis absolutely exceeded our expectations! His commitment to getting to know my now wife and I as we prepared for our big day.....Was really incredible! He helped us every step of the way and we are very thankful for him. He definitely helped us feel comfortable as we inched closer to our wedding day. And then he absolutely crushed it at our ceremony. We had so many guests come up to us about how much they enjoyed our ceremony and it's a big thank you to Lou for putting it together for us.

    Louis was awesome

    Finding someone that would marry me and my husband was particularly hard because I come from a Catholic upbringing and he is Jewish. Our wedding planner recommended Louis as an interfaith minister and from the get-go we knew he was the perfect fit! He was truly interested in us and our story(s). He was dedicated to keeping in touch with us and helping us during our wedding journey. The ceremony was so incredible. It pulled pieces from both the Catholic and Jewish faith that made the ceremony so unique. I loved the wine ceremony and the breaking of the glass- these were so meaningful to both our families. I cant recommend Louis more. He truly cares and will do anything to make your wedding day special. Thank you Louis for everything!

    Above and beyond

    Reverend Louis was amazing. He officiated my sisters wedding a few years ago and I knew when it was my time to get married that I wanted him to officiate mine. He was amazing, very attentive, and caring. Any questions or concerns we had he had no problem answering. I highly recommend him to officiate anyone’s wedding.

    Beautiful and Thoughtful Service

    I cannot recommend Rev. Louis more. He was so easy to work with and was so thoughtful throughout the full process. He paid attention to close details about me and my fiance. He also cared about our relationship and kept checking in to ensure we weren't getting too stressed and making time for each other. The day of the wedding, he was early and directed the wedding party about the ceremony. The ceremony was beautiful! I could not have asked for a better ceremony.

    We can’t say enough good things about Lou! Lou is professional, organized and knowledgeable. He helped us every step of the way from keeping us on track with where we should be in the marriage license process to helping us with the final details of the ceremony. He was a calming presence on the day of our marriage, something that we will always be grateful for. Lou conducted a beautiful ceremony incorporating our combined families. We got to know Lou on a personal level and now consider him a friend!

    First class from start to finish

    Rev. Louis was fantastic. He not only took the time to get to know us and our story, but gave great advice to help shape parts of the ceremony based on his experience and expertise.

    On the day of, he was a calm facilitator that helped us to focus on the moment and each other. The result was a very personal and unique ceremony that felt modern and fresh and elicited high praise from us and our guests.

    100% recommend without hesitation!

    Best Ceremony ever!

    The best Ceremony we could’ve ever asked for!!! Meeting with Reverend Louis on multiple occasions before our big day was huge for us. He really got to know us and also was an amazing guide, helping us to make sure we were 100% prepared and ready for the most important day in our lives. He truly is a professional.

    Excellent Officiant

    Louis held a beautiful ceremony for us at our wedding! He is very spiritual and personable and was able to create our perfect ceremony for us throughout our sessions. He was so attentive and easy to reach throughout the whole process. He took the months leading up to our wedding to really get to know us and check in on us as a couple as well help plan for our ceremony. Working with Louis was great!
