Rev. Rudy was amazing

Rev. Rudy officiated our wedding on August 8th, 2020. A midst a pandemic, we were still eager to get married surrounded by our friends and family. Our banquet manager Samantha got us in contact with Rev. Rudy and he worked very closely with us from then on until the day of the ceremony. And he was very open to what we wanted in regards to our wedding. All we wanted was to make the wedding ceremony personal and intimate. Rev. Rudy made that possible and we thank him for that.

Wedding ceremony

Small, simple, at home wedding given the circumstances. Rudy was our officiate and we really appreciated his ability to accommodate and add to the special occasion. Don’t hesitate to go with Mid Island Wedding Ministries.

My husband and I were married by Rev. Rudy at Antun’s on May 19, 2018 and he is absolutely the best and completely affordable! He took time to get to know me and my husband, which made the ceremony unique to our love story as well as personal instead of commercialized and over-done. Anything we wanted, he did, within reason. We were able to choose our own readings, as we are not religious, and we were able to write our own vows. I am so glad that I took Heidi’s recommendation as she was our banquet consultant at Antun’s and Rev. Rudy was her daughter’s officiant. Rev. Rudy also has a great personality and as shy as my husband and I are, we really got to know him and open up to him. I would definitely recommend Rev. Rudy to anyone!

The ceremony was wonderful according to both us and many people with whom we spoke! It was personal and unique. The personal touch came from Reverend Rudy who took the time to learn about how we met, who we are and why we love each other so much. He helped us share that with our guests to their delight.

Many people cried because it was such an emotional and moving ceremony. I barely blinked back the tears trying to spare my makeup from streaking down my face. I jest, well, somewhat... I really didn't want to start crying for fear of missing one precious moment of the beautiful ceremony.

Thank you Reverend Rudy!!! Next time we marry each other, we will be sure to call you again! :)

Long Island Ministries is my first choice when clients request an officiant for their ceremony needs. He is accepting, compassionate, and experienced in all types of ceremonies. From beginning to end, his service is smooth and he helps in anyway he can. Rev. Rudy provides memorable ceremonies, his service is meaningful, and seamlessly includes the special request of his couples and their families. With the time and preparation to each ceremony he gives to each wedding, he is my first choice as an officiant.

When I performed at a ceremony with Rudy, I know his words were for the bride and groom but I found myself listening closely to the advice that was given and truer words have never been spoken. He gives life lessons to take with you on your journey together. He was very professional, came early and knew exactly what was going on. He was such a joy to worth with and would again anytime!
