Reverend Louis Olivieri is one of the most trusted wedding officiants, guaranteed to make your special day a day to remember.

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.

Reverend Olivieri has studied and is familiar with traditions and spiritual practices of many faiths. He welcomes all religions, interfaith and secular traditions in wedding ceremonies, and is happy to learn about your individual faiths and desires for the big day.

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!

The best officiant in NYC

From the first time we spoke with Lou, we knew right away we wanted him to be a part of our wedding experience. He's extremely passionate about what he does, and made an effort to get to know us. He was very professional and personable everytime we met with him or discussed ceremony details. He’s also very knowledgeable about the entire process and gave us a lot of great recommendations. We actually ended up choosing our ceremony space based on his recommendation and loved it.

By the time of our wedding, he was someone we’d love to have as a guest if he weren’t officiating! Afterwards, several friends and family told us that he was a great officiant and he really made the ceremony beautiful.

Thanks, Reverend Lou!

We recently had the privilege of working with Rev. Louis for our wedding ceremony, and we cannot express enough gratitude for the beautiful and personalized experience he provided. From the moment we met Lou, we knew we had found someone truly special to lead our ceremony.

Louis took the time to get to know us as a couple, learning about our love story, values, and what was most important to us on our special day. This personal touch was evident in every aspect of the ceremony, from the heartfelt words spoken to the unique rituals that he incorporates into his program. Louis spoke with sincerity and authenticity, making everyone feel connected and engaged in the celebration of our love.

If you're searching for an officiant who will bring warmth, professionalism, and personalization to your special day, we wholeheartedly recommend Rev. Louis Olivieri.
