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.

Highly Recommend!

We were planning a wedding in two months and were going back and forth about who we wanted to officiate. I made a list of people to call and the first happened to be Louis and from our first FaceTime call we knew we wanted him to be the one to marry us. He really got to know us in the short amount of time before the wedding. He was responsive, professional, and helped us create a ceremony personalized to us. We met with him multiple times before the ceremony on FaceTime so we felt like we already all knew each other before the ceremony. All of our guests told us it was bar far the best ceremony they have witnessed at a wedding and a lot of that had to do with Louis! He supported all of our ideas including having our pups as our ring bearers, gently reminding people it was an unplugged wedding, supporting me blowing dust out of my vow book, and incorporating our mothers in the most touching way. We did not want a traditional ceremony and he delivered exactly what we wanted. It felt special and intimate. Honestly my favorite part of our wedding was our ceremony, the moment Louis joined us in marriage!

Reverend Louis - Perfect!

Reverend Louis was exactly what we needed. He was very attentive during the lead-up to the wedding and provided wise suggestions on how to maximize the impact of our ceremony. His speech flowed calmly and his words had meaning behind them. When I said “I do” a bit before cue, he turned an embarrassing moment into a hilarious memory that had the entire hall laughing and smiling.

I cannot recommend him enough and we both really appreciate his prescence on our most special day.

Beautiful Ceremony!

Reverend Louis did an awesome job with our ceremony. He kept our guests engaged and followed through with our wishes. We were very fortunate that he happened to be available the day of our wedding as this was one of the last vendors we had booked. Our families enjoyed his sense of humor and we appreciated his suggestions for the ceremony!
