Joseph Sent on 06/13/2026Reverend Louis is Great!!!
We were looking for an interfaith minister for our wedding and we came across Rev. Louis. We are so glad we found him as he was so friendly and was an absolute pleasure to have him co-officiate our wedding alongside my brother-in-law. He was super helpful throughout planning and the wedding itself, very open to the idea of co-officiating (some other officiants we came across were not), and made us feel comfortable throughout the whole process. We even got to visit his church prior to our wedding and he showed us around, which was so nice! Wedding day was perfect, and everything went so smoothly. The dynamic between Rev. Louis and my brother-in-law was seamless as well - we couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony. Highly recommend 10/10! -

Having Reverend Lou be part of our special day was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. We knew we wanted a ceremony that blended elements of a Catholic service with a classic civil ceremony, and Rev Lou delivered exactly that.
He was able to create a ceremony that felt personal, highlighting meaningful moments from our relationship and our families in a way that brought everything together beautifully. The ceremony had all the emotions you could hope for: laughter, happy tears, love, and compassion, making it one of our favorite parts of the entire day.
Everyone was fully engaged throughout the ceremony, and afterward, so many guests came up to tell us how much they loved it.
We highly recommend Rev Lou! -

Julia Sent on 05/22/2026Thanks Rev Lou!
Reverend Louis co-officiated my wedding (my brother was the co-officiant). It was my brother's first time officiating and Rev. Lou made him feel really comfortable and confident with the process.
He added a really wonderful personal touch for our moms which they loved.
We only ran into the issue of asking for a no phones ceremony and that being a little confused. In the end, we are glad we have the pictures, but make sure you are clear with your expectations!
Generally I would definitely recommend Reverend Louis for your ceremony. We wouldn't change a thing. -

Pete Sent on 04/16/2026A Ceremony Filled with Depth, Joy, and Meaning
We feel incredibly honored to have had Reverend Lou officiate the start of our marriage. In the weeks leading up to the ceremony, he took the time to truly get to know us—asking thoughtful, meaningful questions about our relationship and beautifully weaving our story into the service.
For two people unfamiliar with the process of getting married, Reverend Lou was an incredible guide. We learned so much from him, not only about the ceremony itself, but about love and partnership more broadly. His recommendations—from poetry to books—were deeply meaningful; in particular, introducing us to The Five Love Languages is something we now reference often, and it has genuinely strengthened our relationship.
His experience and guidance were invaluable, especially in helping us create a smooth, joyful procession for both our bridal party and guests. On the wedding day, he arrived fully prepared, walked us through all the necessary paperwork, led a practice run with ease, and ultimately delivered a flawless ceremony.
What stood out most was the depth and intention he brought, balanced with just the right touch of humor—our guests were fully engaged and deeply moved throughout. All of our families absolutely loved him, and he brought such a sense of warmth and joy to the entire experience.
We are so grateful that Reverend Lou was the one to begin this new chapter of our lives—and we carry that same joy with us as we look toward the future. -

Wunmi Sent on 01/23/2026A ceremony we and our families will never forget.
Rev Louis was absolutely wonderful at our ceremony. We knew he would be the right one within the first few minutes of our initial meeting. He was so warm, friendly and genuinely interested in us as a couple. He listened to our wants and wishes for the ceremony and executed all well.
On the day of the ceremony, he was on time and very prepared. He delivered a wonderful ceremony which included details about our relationship and our family. There was barely a dry eye in the (small) audience. It truly felt like we had known Rev Louis for such a long time. Our parents couldn’t stop gushing over the ceremony once it was done. We are so thankful to be starting our marriage after such a beautiful ceremony. We will never forget his words. -

Minghao Sent on 12/29/2025Excellent Experience with Rev.Louis
We couldn’t be happier with our choice of Rev.Louis for our wedding ceremony! From the very first meeting, we felt an immediate connection, as they truly captured the essence of our relationship and our vision for an intimate, classy day.
We held our religious marriage ceremony in a local church. Rev.Louis wasn't just a minister, but a central, welcoming part of our celebration, blending seamlessly with our guests and making everyone feel comfortable.
The ceremony itself hit every right "story beat." It was personal, romantic, and beautifully delivered. We received numerous compliments from our "absolute gem" friends and family about how wonderful the service was.
If you're looking for a "magical companion" who genuinely cares about making your ceremony unique and memorable, we wholeheartedly recommend Rev.Louis! -
Robert Sent on 12/01/2025
We love Louis!
We knew Louis was the officiant to go with once we first spoke with him. After a few sessions of getting to know us, and even meeting for a drink with my now wife and I on a nice fall afternoon, he was invested in our relationship. He gave a charming speech while he officiated, filled with nuggets of wisdom, that still makes me smile. You will not go wrong with Louis. So many of our guests complimented us about how he presented himself and took the time to get to know us. -

Rev. Lou was an absolute dream throughout the whole wedding process. We did multiple zoom meetings with Lou leading up to the wedding, where he really got to know my husband and I on a personal level. By the time the wedding came, it felt like we were getting married by a dear friend we have known forever! Everyone raved about the beautiful ceremony Rev. Lou delivered. He is professional, fun, witty and really treats you like family. We would recommend Rev. Lou for any wedding ceremony! -

Maria Sent on 11/10/2025Divine Timing, Unmatched Heart
Rev Lou to the rescue! Unfortunately, we experienced a falling out with our original venue and officiant — easily the most stressful part of our wedding planning. In a moment of pure serendipity, we found Rev Lou. I reached out to him, explained our situation, and without hesitation, he said no problem and would love to be a part of our journey.
From that first conversation, he radiated warmth, compassion, and genuine care. We met both Rev Lou and Rev Britt over Zoom, and instantly felt an incredible connection. We laughed, smiled, and even cried tears of joy. It truly felt as though the universe had brought us together for a reason.
Rev Britt officiated our ceremony, and there are simply no words to describe how universally divine it was. He created a space that was loving, inclusive, and spiritually grounded. Every word felt intentional – he took the time to learn our story, understand our energy, and weave our love into something that touched every soul that day. Guests are still talking about how personal, joyful, and heart-centered the ceremony was.
We are endlessly grateful for both of them. What began as a stressful situation turned into one of the most meaningful and heart-centered experiences of our entire wedding. Rev Lou and Rev Britt transformed our day into something sacred, soulful, and unforgettable.
We look forward to having Rev Lou and Rev Britt be part of our future milestones — from baby blessings to family celebrations — because they’ve truly become part of our journey.
If you’re even thinking about reaching out – do it. Send the message. Schedule the call. You’ll instantly feel their kindness and authenticity, and you’ll understand why we call them our angels in human form.
Reb Lou and Rev Britt don’t just officiate weddings – they celebrate love itself. They make the ceremony the heart of your day. And we couldn’t imagine ours without them.

Mike Sent on 11/10/2025Absolutely Amazing Reverends
Overall one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Britt and Lou were fantastic every step of the way. From the initial consultation, through the many zoom meetings where we got to know each other better, and on our wedding day where they really made the day so much more special. They were both extremely knowledgeable and helped us make decisions for our wedding. They were caring, and made sure we got what we want out of our ceremony. The meetings we had helped them paint a picture of us for them, and the ceremony did not feel like a cookie cutter script, it was hand crafted for us, it was as if we had a good friend performing the ceremony, not a stranger. They made our wedding ceremony so special and stress free. After the ceremony we had so many guests praise how great of a job the reverend did, my uncle asked us how he knew so many personal things about us. My grandmother went up to Britt afterward asking about us, him, and what he preaches. Everyone in our family will always remember him. It made us very happy that everyone enjoyed the ceremony as much as we did. If you want a reverend that will really be there and support you and make your ceremony that much more special, please reach out to Lou and Britt, you will not be disappointed! -

![Will]()
Will Sent on 11/03/2025The Best Around!
I’m going to try and expound on the categories specifically listed here.
Quality of Service - I cannot stress enough how much care and thought this man put into our ceremony. He truly delivered a ceremony that was thoughtful deeply personal, kind, funny. He truly leaves no stone unturned and does not deliver anything less than extraordinary
Responsiveness - For me this is as big as I can get a little nervous and unsure when left a long time with no response. This was never an issue. From our first time reaching out to the day of the wedding I don’t think we ever sent a message that wasn’t responded to in 5 minutes or less.
Professionalism - From credentials, to experience, to execution he was the definition of professionalism. He stepped into our admittedly disorganized situation and never lost his patience, was never anything less than kind supportive and prepared. I felt not a moment of concern with Louis at the helm.
Value - It would feel wrong to try quantify the value of Reverend Louis’s service as anything other than priceless
Flexibility - I cannot stress enough how indecisive and unprepared we were at times so our plans changed constantly even up until an hour before the wedding. Once again he was nothing but kind, understanding, help, and supportive through every sense. He knew when to joke. He knew when to be sincere he was truly great -

Fred Sent on 10/21/2025Great Officiant!
Lou is a wonderful officiant! Leading up to our wedding, he got to know us as a couple and as individuals. He provided guidance on wedding formalities, gave clear directions at the rehearsal, and ensured the ceremony went according to plan.
The ceremony felt highly personalized to the point that our guests assumed we’ve known Lou for years. We asked for a lighthearted but meaningful ceremony, and that’s exactly what he delivered. Overall, Lou was extremely professional, attentive, and easy to work with. -

Morgan R. Sent on 10/19/2025Rev. Lou is the BEST!
Rev. Louis was the perfect officiant for our wedding. He is very knowledgable and the consummate professional. He guided us in the weeks leading up to our wedding and was a great source of support during stressful pre-wedding weeks. What we loved most about Rev. Louis is that he really took the time to get to know us as a couple. Our ceremony was our favorite part of our wedding day thanks to Louis and the beautiful ceremony he ran. We highly recommend Rev. Lou and his interfaith ministry capabilities. Thanks for everything, Lou!

Rev. Lou was absolutely wonderful to work with! From the start, he was warm, approachable, and professional, making us feel completely at ease. During the ceremony, he took the time to reflect on the deeper meaning of marriage, which made our day feel even more special and memorable. His words were heartfelt and thoughtful, resonating not only with us but with our family and friends as well. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant, and we are so grateful he was part of our wedding day! -
![Dennis]()
Dennis Sent on 09/23/2025Highly recommend! Great advice, highly personalized ceremony
Rev Olivieri did an outstanding job officiating our wedding!
Over the roughly four months spanning our initial Zoom meeting to our wedding day, we had several calls to build rapport. He took the time to learn about us as a couple, and offered genuinely helpful guidance along the way covering building a deeper relationship, embracing the journey of getting married, and tips on how to better execute the ceremony and reception. He was a straight shooter not afraid to tell us what to do, and perhaps more importantly, what not to do.
Along the way, we met in person, and by our wedding day we felt a genuine connection with him. We had someone presiding over our ceremony who not only knew enough about us to craft a meaningful personal statement that friends and family would appreciate, but also someone who we felt had established the credibility to offer meaningful guidance on marriage and living a good life together.
Far from being just a hired hand, Rev Olivieri delivered a highly personalized ceremony. If we were to do it all over again, mentally comparing what might have been with where we were steered, we'd be happy to engage in his services and encourage you to do the same. -

Couldn’t have asked for better
We had the absolute pleasure of having Rev. Louis Olivieri as our officiant at Oheka Castle in Long Island, and we could not have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Rev. Louis set the tone with his warmth, professionalism, and genuine interest in getting to know us as a couple. He met with us multiple times via Zoom prior to the wedding, taking the time to understand our story, our personalities, and what mattered most to us on our special day. His communication throughout the planning process was excellent—he was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and reassure us that everything would flow smoothly.
On the day of the wedding, Rev. Louis delivered a ceremony that exceeded all expectations. It was personal, heartfelt, and beautifully paced. Our guests even commented on how thoughtful and moving the ceremony felt, noting that it truly reflected who we are as a couple. Most importantly, we felt completely at ease in his hands. With so many other things to worry about, the ceremony was one part of the day we never had to stress over thanks to his care and preparation. Rev. Louis made our wedding truly unforgettable. -

Ali Sent on 08/29/2025Thank you Rev. Lou!
My wife and I have reminisced daily since our wedding day! A lot of times, the ceremony can feel like a formality—the part where you exchange vows, kiss, and then the party starts. However, we had multiple family and friends tell us it was the best ceremony they had ever been to. They asked if Lou was our childhood Reverend because of the connection we showed, and some just said, "He was a riot!"
Lou is a professional who takes his craft very seriously. He has a system that is proven to work and really highlights the reason his brides and grooms are there to get married. I am Jewish and my wife's family is Catholic; Lou made sure everyone felt included and explained each part properly. If you were unfamiliar with the other's religion, you still knew what was going on and the meaning behind each tradition. We can't recommend Rev. Lou enough. Thank you! -

Jodi and Gabriel - July, 2025
We just got married this past July by Reverend Lou, and our ceremony was fantastic! So many of our guests have commented on what a beautiful wedding it was, and it all started with Lou’s beautiful words and insights. (He is just “Lou” to us now because he is like family). From the very first Zoom call to meeting Lou in person, we knew we had the right reverend for our wedding day, and Lou delivered! He spent the time and effort to get to know us and our journey, as well as our family histories, etc. He also gave some great suggestions along the way to make our ceremony more personalized. He is thoughtful, efficient and a kind spiritual soul. We plan on seeing Lou again soon, even before we renew our vows. We cannot praise Reverend Lou Olivieri enough, and we highly recommend him to any couple looking for an extraordinary, unique wedding ceremony.

Olivia Sent on 08/11/2025A beautiful & personable experience. Dream wedding day ceremony!
About a year ago, my now-husband and I began our wedding planning journey. We often asked each other, "Who is going to marry us?" I'll admit, we were procrastinating a bit, especially since our upbringings differed both spiritually and religiously. I read through countless reviews and descriptions of what type of ceremony each officiant delivers, and that’s when I found Reverend Louis Oliveri. He stood out immediately. Louis is by far the most diverse and inclusive officiant in the area—and after working with him, we can say that wholeheartedly. From the beginning, he brought warmth, insight, and sincerity to every interaction. We had frequent meetings leading up to the wedding, and Louis gently encouraged deep thinking and reflection, helping us stay centered on why we were getting married in the first place: two people falling in love and choosing a life together. His process reminded us not to lose sight of the heart of it all. On our wedding day, Louis delivered the most memorable and meaningful ceremony we could have ever imagined. He seamlessly and respectfully blended our two different backgrounds into something truly personal and unique to us. So many guests commented on how heartfelt and authentic it was. If you're looking for an officiant who honors individuality, encourages connection, and delivers a truly unforgettable experience, Reverend Louis Oliveri is the one to choose. -

Louis was truly the reason our ceremony felt so peaceful, comfortable, and fun.

Raymond Sent on 07/31/2025Reverend Lou - Five Star Officiant
Our experience with Reverend Lou has been nothing less than exceptional, not just as the officiant of our wedding, but also as a counselor who helped us navigate a bit through the wedding ceremony process. His counseling sessions coming up to our big day was fun and insightful as Lou provided gems of advice on what he’s experienced with other couples as well as overall guidance regarding the married life. He is extremely professional and yet possesses a very warm charm that invites you in to open up and share whatever questions and concerns you may hold. He also suggested a few great ideas which we enthusiastically incorporated into our wedding ceremony. Overall, we were very happy with Reverend Lou’s services and highly recommend him to couples seeking out an officiant. There is a very good reason he has so many stellar reviews and we are another newly wedded couple happy to add to his long list of five star reviews. THANK YOU LOU FOR HELPING TO MAKE OUR WEDDING CEREMONY AN UNFORGETTABLE LIFE CHANGING EVENT! -

We had a phenomenal experience with Reverend Lou from the very beginning through our wedding this Friday! He truly cared about creating an elegant and unique ceremony for us. He took lots of time to get to know us well along with our background and families. Through all the stress of wedding planning we were always confident that our ceremony was in the hands of a professional. He is kind, efficient, and easy to work with. We were so glad we had him for our ceremony when it started to downpour midway through and Lou was able to seamlessly continue a beautiful ceremony right indoors with very minimal interruption. There was no confusion or anxiety when the unexpected happened at our wedding and it will be a day we look back on fondly forever! Both my husband and I's parents commented on how beautiful everything was, and we were so happy we chose him to be such a special part of our day. Thank you for everything, Lou!

Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect officiant for my wedding. Upon my first zoom call with Reverend Lou I knew I found someone special. He was warm, kind, and funny…all the good qualities you want from someone joining you in marriage. But above it all, he helped put me at ease as I was able to be my full self around him without fear of any judgement. He made every step leading up to my wedding memorable and even incorporated old family traditions which made my entire extended family feel like a major part of my journey of marriage.

We interviewed around six different potential officiants and were having a hard time deciding, until we met with Rev. Louis! He was then the obvious choice. He made a point to meet with us over zoom several times in the months preceding our wedding to get to know us, so that he could deliver a customized experience for us. In addition to delivering a beautiful ceremony, he also mingled with our wedding party during photos and stayed for part of our cocktail hour. Our guests enjoyed meeting the man who married us, and he charmed them as well!
We can't thank Rev. Louis enough for making our day so special. Highly recommended! -

A perfect ceremony with the PERFECT Officiant!
We got married in October 2024 in Manhattan and Rev. Louis officiated our wedding. From our first meeting with Louis, we knew he was the perfect fit for our big day. You sit down with Louis, and it instantly feels like he's a lifelong friend or family member. He takes the time to learn about your relationship which shines through in the ceremony. He brings a sense of calm and professionalism on the wedding day which shows in his expertly crafted ceremony. He was an incredible officiant for us and now a lifelong friend! -

If you're seeking a truly personal and thoughtfully officiated ceremony, you have found your person! Lou established an immediate connection in our first meeting. He took the time to get to know us, our story and how important the ceremony was for my wife and I. Kind, caring with a great sense of humor, Lou set up multiple zoom calls, which we looked forward to week to week leading up to the big day. My wife and I left the calls feeling calm, confident and actually closer to one another after speaking with Lou.
Our wedding was mid November, very large energetic families didn't affect Lou, he was poised, professional and facilitated a beautiful ceremony that perfectly captured our journey as a couple. It was a perfect ceremony full of faith, love and family!
We were impressed with Lou's services and wholeheartedly recommend him! Thank you Lou! -

We had the honor of having Lou be our officiant for our wedding in November 2024 at the Inn at Longshore in Westport, CT. Lou is very professional and you can feel how much he cares not only about what he does but also showed tremendous care for us as a couple! Lou took time to get to know both my wife and I throw zoom calls. The zoom calls were free and open conversation and he took the time to learn about how we started, what are life is currently like, and what our vision is for us as a married couple. Everyone at our wedding raved about how beautiful the ceremony was and you can really feel something special throughout. Both mothers of my wife and I were touched by how Lou added a special moment within the ceremony in which they were included! My wife and I would highly recommend Lou to anyone looking to add a special touch to their special day! -

If you're searching for a truly special, warm, and compassionate interfaith officiant who really takes the time to understand you and your desires as a couple for a beautiful ceremony, then look no further! Reverend Lou led our ceremony in late September. Despite it being an intimate affair, he crafted a truly enchanting reading that perfectly captured our journey as a couple. He got to know us over 3 zoom calls and 1 in-person meeting. He's incredibly thoughtful, kind, and attentive. We're absolutely thrilled with his services and wholeheartedly recommend him! It truly was a spiritual and magical ceremony. -

We asked Rev. Louis A. Olivieri to be the officiant for our wedding on 10.05.24, and ZERO REGRETS. He took the time to get to know us through zoom calls, months before and leading up to the wedding. He goes above and beyond! If you are looking for a down to earth, funny, professional, and simply awesome officiant, look no further! All our guests asked about him and kept saying how beautiful the ceremony was. Rev. Louis also arrived early to the venue and took time to visit me and the groom, providing comforting words and got to know our family members that were present. He truly was the perfect fit. -

Chloe Sent on 09/05/2024The Best Man and the BEST officiant
We got married in August of 2024 and Rev Louis officiated our wedding. From our first time meeting Louis, we were overwhelmed with happiness as we knew we had found the perfect person to officiate our wedding. Both my husband and I left with tears in our eyes from the amazing ideas of how to make our wedding day and ceremony unique but so special and us. Every encounter we had with Louis he became more of a friend and someone we genuinely were so excited to talk to. He was professional but also made the process fun and did an amazing job incorporating what we wanted into our ceremony. When my grandmother past right before our wedding, he was also there for us as a friend and was a steady sense of comfort in what felt like a room of grey clouds hovering over us and found perfect ways to honor her during the ceremony which we were so grateful for. If you are looking for someone who will not only be a vendor but truly will spend time getting to know you and make the process enjoyable and comfortable look no further than Louis, he is an amazing man and the BEST person to officiate your wedding! -

Lou was awesome - he made us both feel comfortable about the whole ceremony and marriage process. He met with us multiple times via facetime which helped us build a relationship before the big day. He gave a great homily and throughout the ceremony mentioned personal details about our life which made us feel extremely special!! -

Stephanie Sent on 08/20/2024Great Experience!
We recently got married and had Reverand Olivieri officiate our wedding. We were very happy with our choice! Rev. Olivieri consistently checked on us throughout the wedding planning process up until the time of our wedding day. He made an effort to get to know us and our personalities in order to tailor the ceremony to us and our preferences. He also checked in on us simply to see how we were doing given the fact that wedding planning can be stressful, He eased any anxieties we had leading up to the day and I appreciate how concerned he was with making us feel comfortable (especially since we are both more introverted people). On the day of the wedding, he arrived early in order to check out the set up and have time to chat with us regarding any last minute change of plans or questions. He was also very friendly! We were very pleased with the way he conducted our ceremony and overall experience and we highly recommend him to any other couples looking to get married! -

Sean Sent on 08/16/2024Our Wedding Ceremony with Rev Louis
Reverend Louis officiated our wedding this summer at the Garrison in New York. He brought a special, heartfelt, celebratory, and joyous feel to our wedding ceremony that made it truly beautiful!
As soon as we first spoke to Reverend Louis during our initial chat, we knew he would be the one to officiate our wedding ceremony. Everything we talked about with him further solidified our decision. Reverend Louis was warm, caring, personable, and we felt a familiarity as though we had known him forever. He shared all the beliefs that Kathleen and I held and he was considerate and thoughtful with the details we shared. Over the course of the next few months, we spoke multiple times via Zoom, getting to know one another. During our conversations, he guided us and offered insightful, wise advice that we took to heart. He asked us many important questions about our relationship and what was most meaningful to us. He also gave us reminders to take breaks and enjoy our time together as a couple. He put much thoughtfulness and genuine care into our wedding ceremony plans and we could sense this was not only something that he truly loved doing, but a vocation he gave and received happiness from.
On the day of the wedding, Reverend Louis greeted us with a big hug and a warm smile. He took the time and care to review everything with us once more, even making us laugh to relax our nerves. He was a calm and steady presence before and during the ceremony.
His words during our wedding ceremony were heartfelt and deeply resonated with both of us. He personalized our ceremony and his words were truly beautiful, joyous, and celebratory. He also included a special tribute to our Mothers, which made everyone smile. Reverend Louis resonated with our guests as well. We received so many compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed our wedding ceremony and how beautiful it was. We couldn’t agree more or have asked for a more perfect officiant!
Reverend Louis played a pivotal role in making our day truly special, beautiful, and memorable. We are forever grateful for his kindness, wisdom, and the genuine care he showed us throughout our journey. If you’re looking for an officiant who is not only professional but also truly cares about making your day meaningful, we wholeheartedly recommend Reverend Louis. -

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. -

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. -

Lou took the time to get to know my husband and I and was open to a more nontraditional approach when it came to our vision, yet still incorporating a faithful approach into our ceremony. Our guests keep telling us how amazing our ceremony was! -

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! -

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! -

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. -

Jillian Sent on 04/16/2024Highly 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! -

Vince Sent on 01/03/2024Experienced, engaging and genuine- highly recommend!
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 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! -
