Stacey M. Sent on 08/30/2021Beautiful vows
Reverend Stu was fantastic! We saw him on WeddingWire, and we knew he was the one for us immediately. He wrote our vows and we couldn’t have done any better. It was unique, sentimental, personal and just the right length. He introduced humor appropriately. Our guests loved it as much as we did! -

We wanted 20 mins for a ceremony TOPS and in that 20 mins Reverend Stuart filled it with joy, tears from family members, and a ton of laughs! Guests were actually coming up to us saying the ceremony was so much fun and that Rev Stuart was amazing! He was also flexible in helping us do a whiskey unity ceremony and had great suggestions on small changes to our ring ritual that made it even more meaningful. He also gave us a beautifully printed version of our vows as a keepsake and handled the filing of our wedding license for us. In terms of communication before the wedding, we had a blast speaking to him during our video calls. He really made our ceremony so special and entertaining! -

From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to thank you for helping to make our ceremony special. From the first day we met virtually, to the wedding day, you were very friendly, easy to connect with, and delivered a great service. You were a hit at the wedding with our guests and us. We were incredibly happy that we chose you as our wedding officiant. That day was the most memorable day of our lives, thank you for making it possible. -

So when it was time to find an officiant to marry me and my husband I didn’t know where to start until I found Hudson valley officiants and started to read reviews I came across Rev. Stuart and so many mentioned how he had a great sense of humor that automatically caught my attention we FaceTime a few times which was very convenient but the first time I spoke with him I already knew he was the one just thru his way of being his personality I couldn’t have made a better choice we loved our ceremony thank you Rev Stuart! -

Reverend Stuart went above and beyond to make our day special. He took the time to chat with us and get to know us prior to the wedding. He was so accommodating with regard to the time change of where we live and he even carved out time on his off days to chat with us. Now that is dedication!! The ceremony was perfectly executed and we couldn't have been happier! All of my guests were raving about the Reverend and many asked for his contact info for their weddings. I recommend using him a thousand times over! I am so happy he married us and we wouldn't have wanted it any other way. If you are wondering if you should hire him...the answer is HECK YES! He will make all your magical wedding dreams come true! Thank you reverend Stuart! We Love you!!! -The DiMiccos -

We hired reverend Stu for our wedding this past August and we could not have made a better choice. Reverend Stuart, my now husband and myself had a few FaceTime calls prior to the wedding for him to get to know us and our story a little better so he could write a ceremony that was truly catered to us individually. It had the standard, classic pieces we wanted, but he also added small bits and pieces that made it really special and unique. He sent it to us before hand to proofread and I had tears in my eyes. It was perfect. Everyone loved his ceremony, especially us! Reverend Stuart kept it interesting and kept us smiling and laughing as well as all of our guests, instead of putting them to sleep like at some ceremonies. I highly recommend reverend Stuart! -

Reverend Stu married my sister-in-law as well as re-married my mother-in-law. At my mother-in-law’s wedding in 2014, Reverend Stu gave us his card and said, “For whenever you guys are ready.”
When my husband and I got engaged in 2017, we knew right away who we wanted to officiate our ceremony. Reverend Stu is passionate about his work and it shows throughout the planning process. He takes the time to get to know you as a unit and what matters most to the both of you as well as what each of your values are in order to create a ceremony that will be unforgettable by you and your guests. It was easy brainstorming ideas with him to incorporate little touches that would give meaning to you and your families. We are both not religious (I was raised Catholic and my husband’s family is primarily Baptist), but it was important to us that our families felt connected and knew just how much being raised by them the way we were meant more to us than could ever be conveyed – after all, we would not be who we are (together and individually) without their continual guidance and support.
Our ceremony was the biggest part of the best day of our lives, which we will never forget because of Reverend Stu. It was full of sincerity: light with some added inside jokes and just the right amount of seriousness – which is exactly what we wanted for the start of our wedding. If you are looking for an officiant who will strive to give you a ceremony that speaks volumes and makes your day all the more memorable, you will not be disappointed. My husband and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us and we hope to be able to involve Reverend Stu somewhere down the road. -

Made the ceremony the best part of our wedding
Rev. Stu was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! You won't find anyone more sweet, caring and attentive than him. We wanted a non-religious ceremony, and Stu went above and beyond to write us a ceremony that was true to us as a couple. It was so beautiful and sentimental, and funny too! A perfect reflection of us. My wife was so nervous to stand in front of a whole room of people for our ceremony, but Rev. Stu was incredibly patient, and gave her tips to help her stand up there without feeling so nervous. He was able to take a part of the wedding we were the most nervous about and turn it into the highlight of our wedding! We had guests that day (and for weeks after) coming up to us saying the ceremony was their favorite part of the whole wedding (with comments like "and I NEVER say that" or "and I never cry at weddings, but I cried at yours!"). It was our favorite part of the day, and Rev. Stu helped make memories we won't forget for our entire lifetimes. -

Reverend Stuart is the best!
When my husband and I were looking for a wedding officiant we didn’t know where to start to who to trust with this important task. We found Hudson Valley Ceremonies online. We read through some reviews and liked how responsive the company was with our inquires. We read several of the biographies of the officiants they provide and really liked Rev Stuarts. We facetimed with him a few times and we really liked his personality and his sense of humor. We discussed everything that was important to us as a couple and really wanted the ceremony to fit us. Rev Stuart did a fantastic job writing our ceremony. He really listened to what we wanted and it was perfect! My husband and I are not religious and we wanted the ceremony to be more about us as a couple and the love and friendship we share. The ceremony was sentimental, sweet, personal, and at times funny! It was exactly what we wanted. He even did a more unique Celtic ring ceremony that our guests loved! Reverend Stuart was professional and made our ceremony feel so personal to who we are. We cannot express how happy we were with our ceremony and our choice to go with Reverend Stuart. -

Enrica Sent on 09/27/2017My husband and I knew Stu from growing up in the Woodstock area and always knew him as a fun, talented, and caring member of the local community. When we saw his name while looking for someone to officiate our Wedding at Onteora Mountain House, we recognized him immediately and knew he would just be the perfect fit. Neither my husband nor I are religious (although his mother's family is Jewish and I was raised in family of Italian catholics), so we knew we wanted a ceremony that respected all Faiths while remaining Agnostic.
We had an initial meeting with Stu via Skype where we got to know him and learn about what he does -- he has a commitment to delivering a high-quality "show" that will pack an emotional punch while remaining light hearted and sweet. He has pages and pages of beautifully-worded, carefully-crafted ceremony ideas to help get you started in planning your ceremony. More than anything, his ceremony ideas showed us that he was able to create the perfect vibe for a ceremony that would be tailored specifically to us. He also helped us understand the actual marriage license filing process and after the Wedding, did the filing for us -- a huge help! On the day of our Wedding, he was supportive, helpful, and calm. I got the sense that he was completely in control and prepared and he really made sure to assure me that he had it covered.
Our wedding was lovely, but our ceremony was exceptionally lovely, and was one of the most raved-about parts of the day. Stu reads the audience beautifully, cracking jokes when appropriate, and making you feel the true magic of the moment. We cried. We laughed. And we had FUN.
Thank you, Stu.

Britt Sent on 05/25/2021So lucky to have found him as our wedding officiant!
From the moment we first met, we knew Reverend Chernoff was our guy! After meeting with us and getting to know us a little better, he wrote the most heartwarming ceremony. He is a truly genuine and warm man and made my entire wedding feel peaceful but also inspired by his words at the end of the ceremony :) He is above all else a professional, and he beautifully delivered everything we asked for! Highly recommend
