Not enough stars to rate; Amazing!!!

Where do I start, from my initial meet with Reverend Lou before the pandemic I knew he was my officiant. From our initial meeting he was kind, professional and just a good hearted soul. He took the time to learn who we were as a couple. He Wanted to learn about our family and customs. He created a custom ceremony symbolic of who were. Pandemic hit! Our wedding had to be rescheduled….I coordinated my reschedule around his availability. Reverend Lou was amazing throughout the process. His office super professional and buttoned up. When we met right up to the ceremony he was more than I could have wished for. He was on time and the ceremony til this day is the highlight of our wedding. Everyone of our guests raved about the ceremony content, his delivery, his amazing robe, and his demeanor. He is the greatest officiant you will ever meet. For an amazing ceremony reverend Lou is the real deal. Did i mention we love him! Amazing human being. His office and staff were extremely responsive, professional and checked in with us frequently. Every ceremony he creates is unique.

I’ve been to weddings after mine and the officiants cannot compare to him. Polished, poised, professional, creative, articulate, empathetic, humble, funny as heck and most of all amazing at his craft.

Book Reverend LOU. He’s amazing!

By the way everyone loved his hair! 😀

This survey does not have enough stars to rate Hudson Valley Officiants. 10000% worth it.

Don’t skimp on your ceremony.

Rev Louis = awesome

Reverend Louis officiated my wedding ceremony on 8/8/25 and my husband and I are so thrilled with how amazing Rev Louis was! We spoke on numerous occasions prior to our wedding to discuss how we wanted the ceremony to be - he got to know us in order to personalize our ceremony to us! He made our ceremony sentimental with a flare of light humor to hit on all the sweet emotions! He was absolutely fantastic and would recommend him 10/10!

Wonderful!

Reverend Louis was the easiest choice we made through the whole process. He has the best personality and is very knowledgeable and helped us through it all. We loved having him as part of our ceremony and our guests couldn't agree more.

Fantastic officiant!

Reverend Louis was fantastic. He took the time to meet with us, learning about our relationship and wedding festivities. A number of guests inquired “Did you know him? He was great!” I could not recommend Rev. Louis and this organization high enough.

Rev lou is a dream - thank you for everything!

Rev Lou was an absolute joy to work with in preparation for our special day! His pricing is very straightforward and fair - and super accommodating and customizable to whatever you may need to have the ceremony of your dreams. Not only that, but he is super personable and caring and made us and our family all feel super comfortable before and during the ceremony. He shared insights from his experience which helped us navigate stresses in the planning process -- none caused by him or his team, but by external factors - read family ;). He was great at rolling with changes and was flexible, but helped keep the ceremony on track for what we wanted as a couple. He is thoughtful and kind, and he truly was our rock throughout the ceremony. We cannot thank you enough, Rev. Lou! If we could give you a million stars we would!

Best I Could Have Asked For

Rev Louis was great to work with! He's incredibly personable, knowledgeable and flexible. He really put us at ease when we were stressed about the ceremony and made the whole experience seamless. I would recommend him to everyone I know and can't imagine our wedding without him.

Hudson Valley Wedding Officiants

Reverend Louis and Hudson Valley Wedding Officiants were absolutely incredible! They officiated our outdoor Halloween wedding, and even with the chilly winds, Reverend Louis brought so much heart to the ceremony. He was professional, calming, and truly took the time to understand our story, which made the ceremony feel deeply personal and meaningful. We’re so grateful for his flexibility, kindness, and dedication. Highly recommend!

Sweet & Funny

My husband & I got married this past October and we loved working with Rev. Louis. He was funny & easy to work with. We added a blessing of the rings with a personalized ceremony, and it was worth every penny. My guests loved how he included our fur baby in the ceremony. I would recommend working with him and added the special touches.

Amazing Reverend!

Rev. Louis Zeppone was a delight to work with. He was very down-to-earth and funny. We loved our conversations with him during the planning process. There was never a dull moment. The day before the ceremony, he gave a clear rundown to everyone. During the ceremony, our guest loved him. Many came up to us and asked where we found him because he was just amazing. People started crying, and once he spoke, he lightened the mood and made the ceremony memorable. People loved hearing him speak, and so did we. Trust me, you won't regret hiring him!

Best Money Spent

Reverand Lou was fantatstic. Very easy to work with since day 1. Gave us a ton of options to tailor our ceremony exactly how we wanted it. Did a great job during the ceremony too. Added some unexpected humor that everyone ate up while still keeping it serious and religous.

A lot of people commented on how good he was and our parents were very happy we were able to get a reverand to officiate a wedding outside of the church.

Would 100% recomend to anyone looking.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
