  Beautiful Cermony

  Rev. Joe Iadanza was our officiant for our wedding on Friday April 5th, and it was the most perfect ceremony to begin our new chapter in our relationship. Rev. Joe delivered a ceremony like he had know us for years. He made the process leading up to, during and even after so smooth, clear and easy.
  I can not stress enough how amazing it was working with Rev. Joe.

  Best Ceremony ever

  I heard from EVERY single person at my wedding how beautiful of a ceremony it was. And that was all because of Joe's skills as an amazing Officiant.
  Would 100% recommend if you want a memorable ceremony

  Literally the best!

  First and foremost I would like to mention that REV. Joe was ABSOLUTLEY INCREDIBLE. I can not say enough how enjoyable and memorable our ceremony was. So if all you read is these first 3 sentences, great, but if you have time read below.
  So I found REV. Joe by posting on the Brides of Long Island (BOLI) facebook group. About 3 people had all recommended him from the many many recommendation's I received. I took a chance and reached out and was really impressed by the quick responses I got.
  We quickly set a date for our first zoom meeting and it was just to get to know each other, set expectations, etc. After we secured our date, REV. Joe set up a more thorough appointment for us to chat. He spent at least an hour or so talking to us as a couple and then individually. With that he produced an incredible ceremony, with little details about each other that really wow'd our crowd.
  I cannot mention enough that so many people thought that he had known us for a very long time, or that he was a friend. THAT IS HOW GOOD HE IS! And that really is the type of person Joe is. He is endearing, funny, humble and sincere that people generally gravitate toward what he is saying.
  So with that being said, do yourself the BIGGEST FAVOR you can and book REV. Joe ASAP.

  Reverand Joe Iadanza

  Reverand Joe Iadanza was our officiant at our February 2nd, 2024 wedding at Swan Lake Caterers. During my wedding planning experience, I had read amazing reviews given to Rev. Joe, including his customized ceremonies and all the compliments given by guests. Well, it's definitely one of those things that you don't fully understand until you experience it for yourself. For starters, working with Rev. Joe was an absolute pleasure! He was excited to learn about our relationship and offered help in any way we needed. From our meetings, Rev. Joe took our story and created an absolutely beautiful ceremony. We received numerous compliments on how engaging the ceremony was and how our guests loved hearing about our backstory. We were told, "I haven't been to a ceremony like that in a long time, there wasn't a dry eye." It was an
  amazing experience working with Rev. Joe, he made our ceremony truly exceptional!

  Better than I could have ever imagined

  April was hands down the most perfect person to officiate our marriage. I can't say enough about her amazing she is! We met with her in person and she wrote the ceremony in front of us while we told her our story. Her words are beautiful and captivating. From the first email we exchanged to the day of the wedding, her energy was high and her vibes were reassuring and full of love. After our ceremony, our guests kept talking about what a beautiful job she did. She made us comfortable and relaxed the whole time. Her delivery was interactive and very personal, which made our family and guests feel very much a part of the moment. I highly recommend April!!! If I could give her 100 stars, I would! You will not regret it.

  Reverend Joe Iadanza The Officiants at Church of Ancient Ways

  Reverend Joe Iadanza was our officiant at our December 9th, 2023 wedding at the de Seversky Mansion and he was absolutely phenomenal!!! Working with him was definitely one of the best decisions we made in the entire wedding process. He completely elevated our ceremony and made it so, so special and unforgettable. So many people afterwards commented on how personal he made it and how great he was! I was so impressed by his ability to include humor and emotion and how it felt like we'd known him for years! Our wedding would not have been the same without him.

  Brenda Santana

  My husband and I used Brenda Santana from Church of ancient ways. The level of professionalism and compassion has made this an easy pick ! I was able to meet with Brenda and go over details for our wedding. With a mixture of English and Spanish mix :)
  Brenda was able to provide us with a draft weeks in advance so that we can review it. I could see the ceremony with the loving words created. We appreciate all the hard work and effort she made for our special day!
  
  Thank you !

  Truly Excellent

  Rev. Joe made our day even more special with his customized ceremony. Working with Joe was easy and effortless as he got to know us as a couple and learned our story. He truly delivered a meaningful and heartfelt ceremony, which was the highlight of our day. People are continuing to talk about our unique guacamole unity ceremony. We cannot thank him enough for everything!

  An Unforgettable Ceremony with Rev. Joe!

  There are not enough words to express mine and my husbands gratitude for all that Reverend Joe did to make our wedding ceremony absolutely perfect. When we first spoke with Rev. Joe, we knew right away that he was a great fit for us given his ability to customize a ceremony as we are an interfaith couple (myself Catholic and my husband Muslim). After booking with him, we met up with Rev. Joe a few months prior to the wedding so that we could sit down and discuss our relationship and what we wanted out of our ceremony. Rev. Joe invited us to his home and we spent well over an hour chatting, crying, laughing and more - and left feeling like family and more confident than ever in our decision to book with him.
  
  The ceremony Joe ultimately put together for our special day was deeply heartfelt and personal, and there was not a dry eye in the audience. Rev. Joe spoke as if he had known us for a lifetime, and had the perfect balance of touching sentiments as well as lightheartedness, fully capturing our guests.
  
  After the ceremony, almost every single guest had asked us "Where did you find your officiant?! He was incredible!" Many guests told us that they never expected to cry, and were incredibly grateful they grabbed tissues as they were "definitely needed for that emotional rollercoaster."
  
  Rev. Joe - thank you for all that you have done for my husband and I. We are forever indebted to you for making our ceremony the best part of our wedding day.
  
  For all you brides looking for an officiant - RUN to book Rev. Joe!

  Absolutely Amazing Experience

  When I first started my wedding planning process I felt so incredibly lost and overwhelmed. The one thing that I noticed was consistent amongst my potential venues was their preferred vendor The Officiants at the Church of Ancient Ways. I called and had the pleasure of speaking with Aviva Sala, I knew immediately that she was going to bring exactly what I needed to my stressful day. She had a calmness about her, and she kept me laughing during our hour long phone call. She was able to provide me with all the information I needed, and her experience showed. My now husband and I were able to build a customized ceremony that spoke to who we are as a couple after meeting with Aviva. She was able to take our responses, and insights and create this amazing ceremony that not only our guests, and families adored, but that we loved as well. She kept it funny, and lighthearted, embracing my sweet nephews outbursts during my ceremony. I wish I could do this day over and over again, and work with Aviva again. To all the future brides and grooms who are now where I once was, please do yourself a favor and make the call, you won't be disappointed.

  Rev. Joe is the best!

  Reverend Joe was amazing!! I can't even begin to express how many people came up to us to tell us that our Reverend was excellent. They said he was captivating, friendly, and really engaged everyone. He was fantastic throughout the entire process. He really listened to what we were looking for, worked with us on our script, and walked us through important steps and information. We would highly recommend him to others!

  Absolutely Amazing! Brenda is the BEST!

  We got married on 10.21.23. Minister Brenda Santana was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. She really took her time with us during our meetings and answered all of our questions in addition to really getting to know us. On the day of the wedding I (the bride) was on the brink of a panic attack shortly before the ceremony was due to start. I was feeling very overwhelmed after hours and hours of getting ready and dealing with family wedding drama. Minister Brenda was able to calm me down in a matter of minutes. She officiated the ceremony BEAUTIFULLY even with the windy weather conditions. Aside from her beaming personality, her writing skills are EXCEPTIONAL! Although I will probably never cross paths with her again, she has touched our lives and made an impression that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Brenda. I highly highly highly recommend her.

  We got married on 10.21.23. Minister Brenda Santana was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. She really took her time with us during our meetings and answered all of our questions in addition to really getting to know us.

  Could not have asked for a better officiant or ceremony

  We had Reverend Joe from the Church of Ancient Ways as our wedding officiant and I cannot say enough great things about him. He told our story in the most beautiful, funny and perfect way. He added personal details after meeting with us and helped us to personalize our ceremony. He was so easy to work with! I would recommend Reverend Joe from the Officiants at Church of Ancient Ways a million times over!! All of our guest could not stop complimenting him and our ceremony as well!! Definitely a must have for any wedding!!

  An amazing experience

  My husband and I were referred to the Church of Ancient Ways website where we found Rev. Joe Iadanza.
  I clicked to watch some examples of his work and was blown away by his charisma and sincerity.
  We had the honor of having Joe officiate our wedding ceremony. It was an amazing experience and we would do it all again. Our families loved the ceremony as well!

  Absolutely Wonderful!

  There are so many wonderful things to say about Pastor April and the Church of Ancient Ways. Pastor April made this very nervous bride and groom relaxed during the ceremony with her poise, professionalism, and aura. All of our guests praised the ceremony, especially the readings. Thank you Pastor April!

  Officiant Brenda Santana

  Our officiant made our day feel absolutely perfect. Brenda did everything in her power to provide us with a ceremony that was not only meaningful to us, but one that was a mix of both English and Spanish for our whole family to enjoy and be a part of. she was so kind when getting to know us and our story and made us feel seen and heard rather than just another appointment. She truly is an amazing woman and anyone looking for an officiant would be lucky to have her.
