Rev. Louis officiated our wedding ceremony on 10/11/24 and I could not recommend him or HV Officiants enough. Rosemary and Rev. Louis were highly communicative throughout the whole process and made our ceremony feel so special, both to me and my husband and our guests. Rev. Louis is so kind and helpful and we couldn’t have asked for a better officiant to marry us on such a special day.
Our wedding ceremony was everything we imagined and more! Reverend Louis was recommended to us by our wedding planner and he was nothing short of amazing. From the time we met him on the phone, we instantly connected which was not hard to do with his amazing positive energy! He discussed with us in depth what our ceremony options were, what the ceremony would look/sound like, etc. He made this process beyond easy & enjoyable. We would HIGHLY recommend Reverend Louis for your upcoming ceremony. You will not be disappointed! Our friends & family could not stop raving about our ceremony & how special it was.
Working with Hudson Valley Officiants was a breeze. They were able to tailor our wedding exactly as we had hoped. We personally worked with Reverend Louis and he was fantastic! He made the process fun while listening and understanding the details of our dream wedding. On the day of our wedding, quite possibly the hottest day of the summer, he was a true professional and seemed unphased by the heat as the rest of us melted in our formal attire. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect ceremony thanks for Rev. Louis. I would absolutely work with him again and fully endorse him and HV Officiants if you're looking for an officiant. Thank you so much for everything!!
Any questions?
Hiring Hudson Valley Officiants, specifically Rev. Louis, was one of the easiest decisions we made in the wedding planning process. Since my husband and I both grew up Catholic, we wanted religious elements to our wedding, even though we were not getting married in a church. Rev. Louis was exactly what we were looking for. He has a warm energy, a kind heart, and walks the line perfectly between professional and light-hearted. He spoke about my husband and I so well our guests were asking afterwards if he was a neighbor or friend we knew. Thank you Rev. Louis and Hudson Valley Officiants. Working with you was so easy, so meaningful, and I would not have it any other way.
Rev. Louis Zeppone was amazing at our wedding. He personalized it for us and ask questions and met with us to really get to know us. We couldn’t be more happy with the way it turned out. We had many guests commenting on how funny and professional he was.
We got married in October 2023 --Rev Louis was our officiant and we could not have been more happy working with him and the beautiful ceremony he did for us. We got a customized ceremony and filled out the questionnaire he gave us to provide him with details about us to use in our ceremony. It was perfect --meaningful, emotional, funny, and the perfect balance for our needs. Rev Louis is fantastic to work with and has so many entertaining stories about all his experience. We cannot recommend highly enough! - Rol and Nat
I came across Hudson Valley Officiants thru our wedding venue and we were amazed! When I contacted them I got to speak to Rev Louis and right away I was blown away! He is such an extraordinary and astonishing man and the way he speaks is absolutely breathtaking. After telling him what we had wanted for our ceremony he delivered us the ceremony of our dreams and it was absolutely beautiful!! We’re grateful and honored to have had Rev Louis officiate our ceremony and for making it beautifully possible and could’ve asked for anything more.
Reverand Zeppone was very easy and responsive during our communications. He spent time ahead getting to know us so that he could customise our ceremony. We couldn't have hoped for a better officiant for our special day. We highly recommend him.
My husband and I got married in October 2023. When we first met Reverend Lewis, two years before, via a phone call, we knew from that immediate moment that we were in the best hands for our ceremony. Reverend Lewis has an amazing sense of humor, smart, and is so kind. He took the time to get to know us not only over the phone, but through a detailed questionnaire. We went with the package that included personalization. My biggest concern was that we would have an officant that sounded like they were hired and paid for, and with Reverend Lewis it was as if he knew us for years and years. The entire ceremony was flawless, he had just the right amount of humor, emotion, and power behind all of his words. He listened to us and translated our love story into beautiful ceremony speech. Reverend Lewis’ presence put both of us at ease on our wedding day, so we could focus on us. All of our guests were so impressed with the ceremony, nothing was off about the speech (no “wtf” moments). Everything was simply us. We highly recommend Reverend Lewis to anyone if that wants a personalized ceremony that will be one you’ll never forget.
My wife and I were blessed to have The Hudson Valley Officiants be part of our wedding ceremony. Rev. Louis went above and beyond to ensure my wife and I were taken care of and ran through all of the details to put us at ease before the ceremony. He has perfected the art of personalizing the ceremony to fit your needs and wants, even throwing in some surprises!
We are forever grateful to Rev Louis and the rest of the Hudson Valley Officiants Team.
My husband and I were married in July 2023 at the Peak Lodge at Killington and Reverend Louis was our officiant. He made our ceremony so special and personalized it wonderfully. He took the time to get to know us as a couple and understand what was important to us, listening to how we envisioned our wedding ceremony and offering guidance and recommendations on how to incorporate elements that were important to us. He went above and beyond and delivered a ceremony that was more than we could have hoped for. We felt very comfortable with him from the very beginning and on the day of our wedding, it felt like we had known him for much longer than we had. We couldn't have asked for a better experience or officiant and we highly recommend Reverend Louis.
I'd also like to mention Rosemary, who provided us with information on the offerings and the overall process and assisted in scheduling calls between us and Rev. Louis. She was very responsive and kind and the process was seamless.
Reverend Louis is absolutely wonderful. Not only did he perform our wedding in 2022, but he baptized our daughter in 2023. He created such a beautiful personalized moment for us and our families.
Hudson valley officiants Rev. Louis was extremely professional he guides you through the entire ceremony with a little bit of humor thrown in. He is a regular guy and makes it feel special because it's not like having someone just read from a book he brings something special will recommend to everyone.
Rev Lou was amazing. From the start of the wedding planning process, until the day of the wedding. Any questions we had, he always had an answer too. He was very flexible with hours and availability to talk. Even when my fiancé wasn’t able to make our phone conference due to work, he was still willing to talk and didn’t have me reschedule. It was special to me to have Rev Lou officiate our wedding specifically because he officiated my brothers a few years prior and did an amazing job! I would recommend him 100x over.
Rev Louis was AMAZING. Right off the bat he made us comfortable, got to know us and give us the best most amazing ceremony that everyone raved about. I highly recommend and suggest you check him out and get him for your own wedding!
My husband and I were blessed to have Reverend Louis as our officiant for our wedding! He was amazing every step of the way! He eased our nerves on our first meeting by having us laugh, cry happy tears, and plan every step of our perfect ceremony! His surprise rose ceremony for our mothers and little personal jokes throughout our nuptials made our ceremony a fairytale come true. Thank you, Reverend Louis for truly making the start of our marriage perfect, we can never thank you enough!
Rev. Zeppone made our wedding ceremony funny, thoughtful, and unique in every way. I highly recommend him if you want your wedding to be personal and special. Everyone will be talking about your ceremony for years to come! His efficiency about everything (communication, timeliness, thoroughness) was very important and helpful to make our day go as smoothly as possible.
Rev. Zeppone was the best officiant!! He made our ceremony perfect. My husband and I, along with our guests, were crying tears of happiness and laughing throughout his delivery of our personal experiences and moments that we shared with him. We had a special wine unity ceremony that was coordinated flawlessly. People commented that our ceremony was their favorite part of our wedding (and we had one fabulous reception party too!). The day wouldn’t have been the same without Rev. Zeppone.
Rev . Louis Zeppone officiated our wedding this past summer at Killington Mountain. From the first time we spoke on the phone to the day of our ceremony he was an absolute pleasure to deal with and very responsive. On the day of the ceremony he made sure that we both knew what to expect at the ceremony to relieve any anxiety . He was the perfect fit for our ceremony bleeding his personality, humor, and faith into our day. I had several guests comment on how wonderful he was too.
“Perfection” at its finest! We cannot begin to tell you how responsive and how wonderful Reverend Louis was to work with - not to mention his staff who were just as wonderful! We were an out of state couple and extra concerned about particulars and he and his staff did not miss a beat. All communications were timely and complete as well as taking the time to ensure the ceremony was just as we envisioned! We would give 10 stars if we could!
We couldn't have asked for a better ceremony. The ceremony was perfectly tailored to who are as a couple. Rev Louis had all our guests going through every emotion at the right time. We laughed, we cried and we were left with great memories. Our guests wouldn't stop talking about the ceremony and kept telling us it was the best ceremony they have ever seen. Rev Louis was so well organized and planned every detail which made us feel at ease. We can't recommend him enough!
Hudson Valley Officiants helped my wife and I have the most beautiful and memorable ceremony experience for our wedding. They made us feel like they were life-long family members and made the entire process feel so personal and special. We can not say enough about Reverend Louis; I will recommend him time and time again to everyone that is getting married in the Tri-State area. 6/5 stars.
Rev. Louis was absolutely amazing. He was warm, funny, endearing, and made us feel super comfortable from the start. I wouldn’t have changed a thing!! He even incorporated our beloved pets in the ceremony. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant.
Reverend Aniceto created a beautiful homily for our wedding ceremony, customized to tell our story. He offered suggestions during our meetings with him, based on his experience, which helped us make some key decisions. He also clearly explained the components of the ceremony so we knew what to expect. He was punctual for both our wedding rehearsal and on our wedding day.
Reverend Louis was simply perfect for our special day! My husband and I got married May 2022 at the Barn at Villa Venezia.
From start to finish Rev. Lou was great. He is such a nice and personal guy! Also, everyone loved him at our ceremony. It was a perfect mix of fun and emotion. All our friends and family still bring up how great he was at the ceremony!
Thank you so much Reverend Lou!!!
I don’t even have the words to explain how happy I am with the services that Rev Louis gave to us. I would rate him a 1000000 stars if I could. I had the absolute WORST morning of my wedding and every single thing that could go wrong went wrong before the ceremony. When it was time for the ceremony as soon as I saw Rev Louis all of my stress just literally melted away and he immediately made me feel better. I can’t thank him enough for everything. The ceremony was absolutely perfect and he made last minute changes for me the day of the wedding. My guests were RAVING about the ceremony. It was absolutely perfect and I couldn’t be more happy.
By far my favorite vendor to work with!!! Rev. Louis made our ceremony feel extra special! After booking my Venue and deciding to have the ceremony on-site… I started to regret not having a traditional Catholic ceremony in a church. After finding Hudson Valley Officiants on the Knot and speaking to Rev. Louis I knew we where in good hands. He was able to add Catholic elements to our ceremony while also making everyone feel included. People still talk about how special our ceremony was! During the wedding planning process he was very easy to work with… he made us feel at ease during our final meeting. He is marrying my best friend next November! I can’t wait to use his services for other events in the future! You won’t regret using Hudson Valley Officiants at all!!
Reverend Louis is the best ever! He married us in 2017 and baptized our daughters in 2020 and 2022. He is always on time, professional and very personable. We would highly recommend him for any ceremony.
Professional, kind, helpful, and funny are the words that come to mind when I reflect on the beautiful ceremony conducted by Rev. Louis. He was one of the only vendors who "kept it cool" when our wedding was delayed and made us feel like it was no big deal, which was very comforting to a stressed-out bride. Highly recommend you book with HV officiants!
There was one vendor who truly strived to make our Wedding Day as special as it could be, although he felt more like a family friend than a vendor. We were honored that Reverend Louis was able to officiate our wedding. He took the time to get to know us personally so he could create a ceremony that truly spoke to who we were as individuals and as a couple.
Reverend Louis took the time to explain every part of the ceremony with us and with our wedding party. He was courteous, personable, professional, and a downright joy to have standing with us at the altar. He was able to streamline the process for us, making a rather stressful day no stress in terms of the ceremony. He even gave us queues off mic if we needed them.
We would highly and easily recommend Reverend Louis and his team at Hudson Valley Officiants for your wedding, and any other event you need officiating. He’s not only the best in our eyes, but also in the eyes of our wedding guests.
Had the most amazing experience with Reverend Louis of Hudson Valley Officiants, highly highly recommend it!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Feel free to ask us any questions you may have, it was incredibly well done, and made our declaration of love much more beautiful and meaningful. Our friends and family could not agree more too!!!
THE ABSOLUTE BEST EVER!! I WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE!!!! We had rev Louis and he was absolutely amazing!! I literally can not say enough good things! My now husband and I were VERY nervous and he made the ceremony absolutely perfect and had all of our guests laughing and crying. We decided that day to change something that we planned for the ceremony and he did it with no problem at all! Absolutely LOVED everything about it!! Thank you so much!!
Hudson valley officiant’s did an OUTSTANDING job! We had Rev. Louis Zeppone who knocked it out of the park. We have not stopped hearing about how great the ceremony was! Just like we asked it to be, short, sweet, and to the point. We had a pre wedding meeting with Rev. Louis and you could just tell that he cared about what he was doing for us. They offer all styles of ceremony, and will make any adjustments you wish. His effortless humor and wit made our guests forget about how hot it was in the sun. His professionalism was clear and he worked seamlessly with our other vendors to put on a great performance. We could not be happier with Hudson Valley Officiants!
Rev. Louis was absolutely amazing!! He took the time to ask questions and get to know us as a couple so that he may put together an absolutely beautiful ceremony. He incorporated personal touches from what he learned from our meetings. As well as include the religious elements we requested along with a great sense of humor. My family, friends and guests were so happy with what Rev. Louis. He truly created a very warm and welcoming environment. So thankful to have had Rev. Louis officiate our special day!!!
Rev. Louis is the best! Look no further! My husband and I had an interfaith ceremony that was absolutely perfect. Rev. Louis prepared all of us for the big day, was very communicative, extremely punctual, and very knowledgeable. He kept us laughing and at ease throughout both the rehearsal and ceremony. Thank you for making our wedding day so special!
Rev Louis was amazing! We had him as our officiant for our October wedding at West Hills Country Club and can only say great things about him. People were completely floored when we told them that we had never met him in person prior to our wedding day! As one of our guests said to me "he knew how to keep it serious but also knew when to make it lighthearted and fun." We highly recommend Rev Louis for your big day, you won't regret it!
Where do I start? First and foremost, I would like to thank Rev. Louis for being a part of our special day. Rev. Louis of Hudson Valley Officiants was AMAZING! He officiated our August wedding at West Hills Country Club and he exceeded all of our expectations. Due to the pandemic, our wedding was postponed and of course that was nerve wreaking. Being so uncertain and not knowing if the rules and regulations were going to change in a day. However, upon meeting Rev. Louis, some of those nerves were put to rest! He was such a breathe of fresh air and ray of sunshine! My fiancé and I met with him about 3 weeks before our wedding and had about a 2 hour in person meeting. We didn’t even realize how long the meeting was because the conversation was so authentic. His overall personally but it was his sense of humor that revealed we made the right choice. He was extremely detailed and explained the process of the ceremony clearly. We left with no questions and the biggest smiles on our faces.
Fast forward to August, Rev. Louis arrived on time to the venue and had a brief review of the ceremony with us and our bridal party. He officiated our wedding beautifully, just as we discussed and expected. He worked extremely well with the other vendors as well.
We are extremely grateful and satisfied of the service we received and would recommend him in a heartbeat!
We hired Reverend Lou as our wedding officiant for our wedding on 6/19/21. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and I could not recommend his services enough! Coming from different religious backgrounds, my husband and I wanted to make sure that both families would be equally represented and that everyone would feel welcomed/enjoy our ceremony. Reverend Lou did more than just that! He spoke with us a few times prior to the ceremony to run through the script. Additionally, he added in a special "rose" ceremony that brought both of our mothers to tears. The second we spoke to Reverend Lou, we knew we wanted him to do our services - and lucky for us, it was his only date left for the month of June. If you are looking for an officiant that adds some humor to your ceremony, than look no further! He had everyone laughing and crying at the same time! I am so glad we went with him!
Could not have been any better! Loved working with Rev. Jun!
Rev Lou was over the top awesome. His ceremony brought tears to our eyes and excitement for our future. Neither he, nor his team, will disappoint. Thank you Rev Lou!!!
If you are looking for an officiant in the Hudson Valley than look no further than Reverend Louis! He is the best! Rev. Louis was very accommodating and easy to work with when it came to rescheduling our wedding in November of 2020. In the weeks leading up to our wedding in October 2021, Rev. Louis was very responsive to our email questions and even spent time with us on the phone going over every detail our wedding. We wanted to be able to write our own vows, have some religious aspects for our parents, and have a fun and lighthearted ceremony. Rev. Louis did it all! On the day of our wedding he arrived in a timely fashion and went over everything one more time before the start of the ceremony! Our ceremony was everything we wanted it to be – we laughed, cried and we got married! It was perfect. We definitely recommend Rev. Louis!
HV Officiants was with us every step of the way with planning our wedding! They were very responsive to emails and video chats. Rev Jun married us back in October and we wouldn't change a thing! He even completed our ceremony for us right before a massive thunderstorm! I would 100% recommend HV Officiants.
I rarely write reviews these days, but I felt that Rev Louis from Hudson Valley Officiants did a FABULOUS job officiating my wedding ceremony this past September. Rev Louis was so patient in explaining the process and answering all of my (many) questions. Every interaction I had with him was so positive and put me at ease that everything would go smoothly. He took the time to speak with us several times on the phone to iron out the details and tone that we wanted. When the day finally arrived, the ceremony was light-hearted, yet really meaningful and sweet. 5 Stars!
My family was very against us not getting married in a church. Despite their concerns we chose the option best for us and went with Hudson Valley Officiants. It was the best decision ever. The ceremony was extremely personalized and on top of it our family absolutely loved it. We received multiple compliments on the beautiful ceremony. My grandmother even mentioned: "I was really worried that you were not going to get married in a church but that was the best ceremony I've ever attended. It was beautiful."
Rev Lou is the absolute best! 5 years ago, he married us and made the ceremony of our dreams. When my husband and I had a baby this past year and was thinking of christening options, our first thought was him. When we called him, he remembered us, our families, and it felt like we just saw him yesterday. He did an amazing job, especially since we are not religious. His COVID protocols made us feel safe. I have no doubt that he can make your day special as well. He will be in our lives with every milestones in our family. I cannot recommend enough!
Rev. Jun was very easy to work with and made the process of putting together our ceremony very easy. It was also cool that he showed us phillipino traditions to include as my husband and his family are phillipinos as well. I would recommend him to any of my friends or family getting married!
Reverand Louis Zeppone was an excellent officiant of our intimate garden wedding. He made us feel very relaxed and was very warm and welcoming. He really has a great ability to make a wedding day feel that much more special and makes the day feel so vibrant. We recommend him to anyone and everyone. He will give you the utmost attention and make your wedding so very magical, just like ours was.
HV Officiants handled our elopement beautifully. Remarks during the ceremony were beautiful and well stated.
Where do I start, from my initial meet with Reverend Lou before the pandemic I knew he was my officiant. From our initial meeting he was kind, professional and just a good hearted soul. He took the time to learn who we were as a couple. He Wanted to learn about our family and customs. He created a custom ceremony symbolic of who were. Pandemic hit! Our wedding had to be rescheduled….I coordinated my reschedule around his availability. Reverend Lou was amazing throughout the process. His office super professional and buttoned up. When we met right up to the ceremony he was more than I could have wished for. He was on time and the ceremony til this day is the highlight of our wedding. Everyone of our guests raved about the ceremony content, his delivery, his amazing robe, and his demeanor. He is the greatest officiant you will ever meet. For an amazing ceremony reverend Lou is the real deal. Did i mention we love him! Amazing human being. His office and staff were extremely responsive, professional and checked in with us frequently. Every ceremony he creates is unique.
I’ve been to weddings after mine and the officiants cannot compare to him. Polished, poised, professional, creative, articulate, empathetic, humble, funny as heck and most of all amazing at his craft.
Book Reverend LOU. He’s amazing!
By the way everyone loved his hair! 😀
This survey does not have enough stars to rate Hudson Valley Officiants. 10000% worth it.
Don’t skimp on your ceremony.
Rev Louis was amazing, he knew just how to make us comfortable and make our special day even more special and unforgettable, he is literally the best!
Amazing! We had our wedding during Covid when we were unsure if we could even have it. Finding an officiant, especially one that met all of needs was so important to us. We only had to look one place and we knew Hudson Valley Officiants was perfect for us and we were so excited to have Rev. Louis. He was so amazing, thoughtful and helped us whenever we needed it. He walked us through what would happen and what he would say and I honestly started to cry during just our meeting. Our wedding ceremony was so perfect and more than I could have ever imagined! I can’t thank Rev. Louis enough for being a part of our special day!
The officiant arrived and absolutely killed it. Came on time told us everything he needed from us and made our day come together.
Rev. Lou was the perfect balance of a top-notch professional and a genuine and sweet human being. On a day where it seems like a number of things could go wrong, Rev. Lou was one of our sources of support and a calming presence.
This past July, Rev. Lou also officiated the Christening of our daughter a little over four years later!
Don't hesitate on hiring him! He's fantastic!
Rev Aniceto was absolutely amazing! From our first meeting we knew he would be the perfect fit to officiate our wedding. He showed up early on our big day, always with a smile and as nervous as we were he took time to have a private meeting in the bridal suite to prep us and make sure every key member of the ceremony felt confident and prepared for our big moment! The ceremony was beautiful, Rev Aniceto was well spoken, clear, heartfelt and made everyone laugh as well! We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant on the happiest day of our lives. We are eternally grateful!! :)
My husband and I booked a room at Mohonk Mountain House and planned to elope there. I didn’t know anything about hiring an officiant in the area so I went online and found Rev. Louis. SO glad I did. He was incredibly responsive and easy to work with. He also gave me some helpful suggestions when Mohonk was slow to respond. We just wanted something simple to get us legally married, and he gave us the perfect simple and thoughtful ceremony we were looking for. Our two witnesses also commented on how wonderful he was. Highly, HIGHLY recommend him, without hesitation :)
Reverend Louis was the perfect officiant for us! He went above and beyond to include a funny part about our dog in our ceremony. We weren't aware he was going to include that, and it really made our day! Couldn't recommend him enough.
Reverend Louis was amazing. I’m so happy we were able to have him officiate our wedding. From our first meeting and through the wedding he was awesome to work with and we couldn’t have asked for anything better.
Rev. Louis officiated our wedding in August 2020. We ended up having to move our reception date to 2021 due to COVID but still had a small backyard wedding on our original date.
His ceremony was beautiful and we appreciated his lovely and intimate wording. It made our day all the more special and our family loved how he spoke about marriage.
Revered Lou did a fantastic job officiating our wedding. His professionalism and attention to detail is exceptional! Our guest keep saying “ Best ceremony they have ever attended”. I highly recommend booking Revered Lou!
Reverend Louis made our ceremony personalized and perfect! The details he included to make the ceremony special and enjoyable was above and beyond what we expected. During our call to plan the ceremony Reverend Louis brought up so many great ideas of little components to include. After the ceremony, our guests couldn't stop asking if we knew Reverend Louis personally due to all of the details he brought in and how special he made our ceremony. If you're looking for an officiant in the Hudson Valley area, Reverend Louis is the best!
We loved Rev. Lou! He did the ceremony at our microwedding. He was very thorough and professional. We can’t recommend him enough!
Donna Smallwood was amazing! Very professional and kind! She made the day special and stress free. Which is so very important. She took the time to find out our relationship story so she could incorporate specials details into our ceremony. Couldn’t have imagined the day without her.
We hired Reverend Donna for our elopement ceremony on November 14th and she was amazing! Prior to the ceremony we had a phone call with her where she walked us through the ceremony. Day of she arrived on time and was very personable! I would definitely reccomend Reverend Donna for anyone looking for an elopement or wedding ceremony!
Reverend Louis made our ceremony personalized to us and it was just so nice! We asked for religious catholic elements and it all came together so beautifully!
My wife and I could not have been happier with our decision to use Rev. Louis as our officiant. His professionalism, kindness and attention to detail were all very appreciated by us. Long before we walked down the aisle, he took time to get to know us and brought us a comfort in helping us create our own unique ceremony. The ceremony itself was a beautiful experience we will never forget, and Rev. Louis certainly gave us a calmness in the stress of a busy day! We would very highly recommend Hudson Valley Officiants and Rev. Louis to anyone!
Thankfully,
Paul & Danielle
Reverend Louis made our wedding an unforgettable event for both us and our guests. He personalized the ceremony to our needs and wants and brought a unique sense of humor to keep the event light
Our wedding was conducted exactly as we wished, in a private setting with just a few family members present, and with safe distancing because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The officiant was professional and very kind.
Rev. Aniceto "Jun" America made planning our ceremony during COVID a breeze. We set up an phone conference and he was easy to connect with. His personality is like an old friend and he had us both laughing and enjoying the call. He took his time getting to know my husband and I and what is important to our families. Rev. Aniceto "Jun" America also made sure we knew the COVID protocols, and responsibly followed them himself, so that our wedding ceremony would run smoothly and safely. I would definitely recommend him to other couples planning their special day!
Such a pleasure to work with. Reverend Louis was filled with warmth and friendliness, yet at the same time incredibly professional. In an era when there is even more to worry about than on normal days, Rev. Louis takes those worries away with his reassuring ways. Not a detail was overlooked during the conversations leading up to the wedding. And we had so many options to pick from! I'm guessing he could make any possible ceremony work in a way that would make any couple incredibly happy. My wife and I are thrilled Reverand Louis was recommended to us and would kindly return the favor by recommending him to any other couple tying 'the knot'
Rev Aniceto was our officiant and he was great! Our wedding was affected by covid so we ended up having an intimate ceremony. Rev Aniceto walked us via phone on everything we needed to know about the ceremony and dealing with marriage certificate. Day of ceremony he was prompt and friendly and respected social distancing. We're very happy to have had Rev Aniceto officiate our wedding!
Reverend Louis is amazing, he made our wedding day perfect! He is not only funny but very kind too. My husband and I knew right away after speaking to him over the phone we wanted him to officiate our wedding. He made our day extra special with personalizing our wedding vows to us as a couple. Both of our families also were so impressed with him and thought he was the perfect officiant.
We’re so happy we chose Hudson Valley Officiants for our wedding ceremony! Rev. Louis was so warm and reassuring leading up to the wedding. We had to postpone our day due to the lockdown and Rev. Louis and Rosemary went above and beyond to accommodate us. We’re so glad they were able to reschedule us because he really gave us a beautiful ceremony! It was personal, sweet, and had just the right mix of funny and emotional. I feel like he really took the time to get to know us and included all of the little details we were looking for. Having Rev. Louis officiate gave us a beautiful start to spending our lives together. We’re still getting compliments on the ceremony from our family and friends!
Rev. Louis was responsive and friendly from the very beginning with our initial introduction call - we immediately knew he would be the perfect fit for our ceremony. Fast forward about a year, and due to COVID, we had gone back and forth about changing plans for our location, group size, and time of the ceremony a few times, and he was supportive in whatever our decision was, and never tried to push us to do anything we weren’t open to. We chose a simple read and repeat ceremony, and Rev. Louis made it short as we requested, but full of love and beautiful words that we will cherish for many years to come. He was professional and enjoyable to speak to, and made our extremely stressful wedding planning process easier for us to navigate. We could not recommend Rev Louis and the rest of the team at Hudson Valley Officiants enough! They are truly the best team around.
Reverend Louis was great to work with for our wedding. He got to know us and our preferences, so the ceremony really fit our style. He was so helpful leading up to the wedding, answered all of our questions, and was reliable on the day of our wedding. In the chaos of it all, he was patient and helpful. We are very happy with our experience with him and highly recommend Hudson Valley Officiants!
Hudson valley officiants did a wonderful ceremony for us! With all the cancellations from COVID we just wanted to get married and be done but they made it so sweet and sentimental that it made our day become special again
Rev. Lou is the best. He was happy to accommodate our wedding on short notice during the pandemic. He showed up on time and was professional. He also was funny and affable. All in all you can’t go wrong with Rev. Lou.
Rev. Aniceto was amazing. Especially during this crazy time he listened to our ideas and inspirations for our wedding and did all he could to make that happen!!! It was a beautiful ceremony we are so happy to have worked with him and have him perform our ceremony.
I highly recommend Rev Louis. Not only was he professional and clearly experienced, he made me feel calm and that everything was taken care of. Getting married during a pandemic was stressful but Rev Louis made the process of creating our ceremony easy and special. The day of our wedding I felt at ease knowing that he was there to make sure the ceremony went smoothly. Our wedding day was even better than I imagined and our ceremony was beautiful and special and had the religious elements we wanted. I can’t say enough good things about Rev Louis. Someday when we have a baby I want him to do the baby’s blessing.
Very professional, best officiant in the area.
My partner and I wanted a quick elopement on one of our favorite rail trails. We reached out to HV Officiants about a week before our desired date and they were happy to help us elope. Rev. Louis Zeppone was amazing! He went down to the creek bank with us and performed a beautiful, quick, and sentimental ceremony. Thank you Rev. Louis Zeppone for marrying my partner and I during COVID restrictions.
If you’re looking for the perfect officiant, look no further. Rev. Louis is the best there is. As a bride who has to alter just about every wedding detail due to the pandemic, we could not have been happier with how our special day went. We had a very intimate ceremony and Rev. Louis made it perfect. He is the kindest, compassionate officiant and really works with you and made sure everything went smoothly. From the safety precautions for our guests to the personalized ceremony he created for us, our day was nothing short of amazing!! We are beyond happy with how everything went. It honestly could not have gone better. Thank you Rev. Louis!!!
