Rev Louis Olivieri
Choosing Reverend Louis Olivieri was an easy decision after our first meeting with him. Even though we were not getting married in a church, we still wanted our ceremony to be special and spiritual/ classic. That is exactly what Louis is able to deliver. We worked with him multiple times through out the year, discussing marriage, values and our future. My fiancé and I enjoyed growing our relationship with the Reverend during these meetings because it made us feel closer to him on our wedding day! Our wedding ceremony was absolutely beautiful. -

Maren Sent on 07/19/2024Touched our hearts!
Louis is compassionate and made us feel comfortable thoughout the entire process. He makes the ceremony memorable by providing suggestions that are creative and unique, and by choosing words that touch your heart. In the process leading up to the ceremony, he really wants to get to know the couple and comes prepared for every conversation. He knows a lot about different religions and cultural backgrounds and is very interested to learn how those manifest in the couple’s daily lives. Definitely recommend Louis, especially if you are looking for someone who can bring together cultures! -

Joe G. Sent on 06/04/2024Celebrating the marriage of a mature gay couple
From our first call with Reverand Lou, we knew we had found the officiant for our wedding. Louis is warm, personable, efficient and wise. He was interested to learn about our unique love story and our vision for our special day—and helped us bring that vision to life. He was respectful of our wishes yet provided sound guidance and helpful suggestions when they were needed. As a mature gay couple who’ve been together 29 years, the small celebration we were planning was not meant to be the traditional “just-starting-our-lives-together” wedding. Instead, we wanted to convey themes of “home” and “recommitment” into our ceremony—and Reverand Lou helped us do just that. We had several Zoom calls with Lou as we got closer to our wedding day, keeping us on schedule and refining the details along the way. We were also lucky enough to have one in-person meeting with him (since we also live in NYC), which really helped solidify our connection. He encouraged us to write personal vows to one another, which turned out to be among the most meaningful moments of our ceremony. So many of our family and friends came up to us afterward and commented on how beautiful Rev Lou’s words were—capturing our love and commitment in a way that resonated with virtually everyone. Thank you, again, Lou for being an important part of our special day and helping make it all that we hoped it would be. -

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! -

Highly Recommend Rev. Louis Olivieri
Rev. Louis Olivieri was a great fit for us and our wedding. We had several zoom and phone conversations with Louis prior to our wedding and everything was very comfortable and easy with him. We chatted and got to know each other and talked details. The day of our wedding Rev. Louis came early and was so supportive in the moments leading up to our ceremony. He worked well with my venue and other vendors to make my dream wedding come true. I loved his ceremony words/poems etc. because it was not religious, more spiritual and that aligns with both me and my husband. We added a few special moments into our ceremony, one in which Rev. Louis recommended and we absolutely LOVED. Having a "last kiss" with our moms as a surprise and honoring them before our "first kiss". Rev. Louis is very professional and I highly recommend him to any bride & groom looking for an officiant! -

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. -

My husband and I wanted todo a mini beach ceremony with just our family. When choosing Louis, we new right away we wanted him to be our officiant. He checked in multiple times through out the planning process to make sure the plan and the timing to make sure everything went smoothly. He provided a beautiful ceremony and recommended we state some words for eachother. It was a perfect day. We couldn’t of asked for a better ceremony -

Five stars are not enough to fairly rate Rev Louis. My wife and I were married on December 16, 2023 and we first reached out to Rev Louis in September 2023. Nothing like leaving one of the most important decisions- the ceremony officiant- until the last minute! Truth was, we put off the decision because we wanted our officiant to have very specific attributes that we knew might be difficult to come by- a warm and dignified presence, thoughtful and extremely experienced, engaging, witty and light but not a comedian, and most importantly- genuine. We spoke with many different potential officiants and just weren't "there" with any of them. However, we knew after our first conversation with Rev Louis that he possessed all the characteristics we were seeking and more. In the 3-months leading up to our wedding, we had multiple zoom calls with Rev Louis and built a relationship with him that we believe will last for years to come. He was always gracious, considerate of our time, knew what questions to ask us and gave great advice on how to make our wedding ceremony the most meaningful part of our entire celebration. For example, my parents were unable to make the wedding due to travel and health reasons, and Rev Louis was the one that suggested we have them on FaceTime so they could be present- something that neither we nor even our wedding coordinators had thought of. It meant the world to my parents and to us. We had many guests tell us that he was the best wedding officiant they had seen and that it was a truly special ceremony. We give our sincere thanks to Rev Louis and all that he blessed us with on (and leading up to) our big day. My wife and I highly, highly recommend Rev Louis and cannot imagine anyone else up on that altar with us. -

Lou was born to be a guide for couples getting married. His passion shines through in so many ways. First, he strikes a great balance of taking into account your needs and requests while advising on how to maximize the beauty of your ceremony. Second, he goes well beyond just performing the services and becomes a partner, confidant, and friend as you move through your marriage. Lastly, he is incredibly proactive and hard-working towards making your day special. Lou has many customers, and sometimes details need to be re-established a few times, but he puts in the work to make sure your day is unforgettable. We highly recommend Lou for your wedding! -

Christian M. Sent on 12/15/2023Louis was awesome
Finding someone that would marry me and my husband was particularly hard because I come from a Catholic upbringing and he is Jewish. Our wedding planner recommended Louis as an interfaith minister and from the get-go we knew he was the perfect fit! He was truly interested in us and our story(s). He was dedicated to keeping in touch with us and helping us during our wedding journey. The ceremony was so incredible. It pulled pieces from both the Catholic and Jewish faith that made the ceremony so unique. I loved the wine ceremony and the breaking of the glass- these were so meaningful to both our families. I cant recommend Louis more. He truly cares and will do anything to make your wedding day special. Thank you Louis for everything! -

Louis absolutely exceeded our expectations! His commitment to getting to know my now wife and I as we prepared for our big day.....Was really incredible! He helped us every step of the way and we are very thankful for him. He definitely helped us feel comfortable as we inched closer to our wedding day. And then he absolutely crushed it at our ceremony. We had so many guests come up to us about how much they enjoyed our ceremony and it's a big thank you to Lou for putting it together for us. -

Rev. Lou was the PERFECT fit for our wedding! We had our ceremony at our venue Sea Cliff Manor and it was more than we could've hoped for. Rev.

Lou was great communicating with us in the months leading up to the wedding so we were assured the ceremony would be all we wanted!
