We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. From the very beginning, he was incredibly kind, professional, and efficient, making the entire process feel easy and stress-free.He ...
truly took the time to get to know us as a couple, and it showed in every part of the ceremony.
The speech was beautifully done—personal, heartfelt, and full of meaningful details about our relationship. It felt so genuine and “us,” and so many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it. The ceremony was the perfect balance of emotional and uplifting, and we will always be grateful for how special they made our day.
We highly recommend him to any couple looking for someone who truly cares and puts thought and heart into their work.

terested 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.

Divine 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 wed...
ding 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.
Rev 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.

e 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!

Reverend Louis Oliveri officiated our wedding in the winter of 2014, and choosing him was one of the best decisions we made. We had the pleasure of building a relationship with him...
a year prior to our ceremony, and in that time he became more than just our officiant—he became a friend. His heartfelt approach and genuine care transformed our ceremony into a deeply personal experience that beautifully reflected the love my husband and I share.
Reverend Oliveri left such a lasting impression on our family and friends that he has since officiated weddings for my brother and his wife, my cousin, three of our closest friends, and four other couples within our circle. His presence, compassion, and ability to connect with people have made a meaningful impact on our community. We couldn’t recommend anyone more highly than Reverend Louis Oliveri for such a special moment in life.

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.

Rev. Lou wove in thoughtful details that made our guests feel connected to our journey, and so many people told us afterward that it was one of the most heartfelt and meaningful ceremonies they had ever witnessed. It was everything we hoped for and more — beautifully balanced, inclusive, and uniquely “us.” We could not have asked for a better officiant to guide us into this next chapter, and we will always be grateful for the love and intention Rev. Lou poured into our day!

hese blessings weren’t good fortune enough, my wife and I had the utmost honor of having it all officiated by Rev. Louis Olivieri. From our very first video call, Lou’s approach was one of warmth, humor, and care. In the months leading up to our wedding, Lou really got to know us through some really great conversations.
If you call Lou with concerns, even on the morning of your wedding, he’ll tell you to take a breath and that everything will be alright, and you’ll be able to trust him.
With Lou, you aren’t just getting an officiant. I can proudly call him a friend. You won’t regret choosing him for your big day!

I thought he'd known them for years. My exact thought was when my daughter gets married, I hope he'll be available to do her wedding! He was and I am so thankful. Rev Lou was everything I remembered. I have heard from so many family and friends how they LOVED my daughter's ceremony. Most said they laughed and cried throughout and was so touched by his beautiful words. My daughter and son-in-law could NOT have been happier. What a beautiful way to start off one of the happiest days of my life, listening to such thoughtful words of love and wisdom. I would HIGHLY recommend Rev Lou to anyone who would want a beautifully spoken ceremony. He is truly a caring sincere man.

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 rapp...
ort. 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.

ning, 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.

We were incredibly lucky to have Reverend Louis officiate our wedding ceremony at Bad Seed Cider Taphouse in Highland, New York on September 5th. From the very beginning, he took t...
he time to truly get to know us—holding monthly meetings leading up to the big day so that everything felt personal, natural, and tailored to who we are as a couple.
Our ceremony was a perfect blend of religious and non-religious elements, exactly as we had envisioned. Reverend Louis was more than accommodating—he even included a scripture reading by my mother, which meant the world to our family. He struck the perfect balance between sincerity and lightheartedness, making a few well-placed jokes that had all our guests smiling and laughing while still keeping the ceremony deeply meaningful.
He moved things along efficiently without ever making it feel rushed. He was respectful and kind to our guests, even when they had lots of questions before and after the ceremony. His calm presence and professionalism put everyone at ease.
Not only was the ceremony beautiful, but Reverend Louis also took care of all the legal details, ensuring our marriage license was mailed out the very next day—something we really appreciated in the post-wedding whirlwind.
If you’re looking for someone with years of experience, a warm and thoughtful approach, and a true passion for what he does, Reverend Louis is the one. He was truly a pleasure to work with, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to help us begin this new chapter.

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.

About one year ago, my now-husband and I were beginning our wedding planning journey. We often asked each other, "Who is going to marry us?" I'd admit, we were procrastinating a bi...
t, especially since our upbringings were different 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.

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!

The weather looked touch and go the morning of our wedding day, and we had very high hopes to have our summer wedding ceremony outdoors as planned. And the start was just that...but...when we were met with a downpour in the middle of our ceremony, Lou guided my wife and I (and 150 guests) with a seamless transition indoors in a matter of minutes. As we looked around at our guests, and each other, we could tell we we were in the hands of a professional. Instead of feeling defeated, we were able to finish a beautiful and unique ceremony inside. It was truly unforgettable. Thank you for your expertise, Lou!

We hired Rev. Louis after reading his amazing reviews on the knot. My husband and I enjoyed speaking to Lou right off the bat. He is probably one of the most personable people I’ve...
ever met and really tried to get to know us very well. We went through some hurdles on our wedding day, as our venue double booked our wedding without our knowledge. So our ceremony and reception were delayed because of the other party.
This stressed my husband and I out so much. Rev Louis kept his calm, even though we only had 10 minutes. This made my husband and I keep calm aswell.
Rev Louis said the most beautiful eulogy during our ceremony after my husband and I said our vows, it made my husband cry (he didn’t even cry when I walked down the aisle).
If you want someone to officiate your wedding who really cares about your relationship with your significant, book Rev. Louis. We cannot thank him enough

His words will never be forgotten and is something we will carry with us forever in our marriage. He was a huge part of a very special day in our lives and he made it extremely special and personal! He was easy to communicate with, organized, punctual, professional, and personable. I could not recommend Reverend Louis enough!

My husband and I interviewed several officiants before finding Reverend Lou. After meeting him, we both immediately felt like it was the right fit. Our ceremony, meetings together,...
and the relationship that we formed with him validated that we made the right choice. Our essence as a couple is a balance between not taking ourselves or life too seriously and caring greatly about the things in life that matter. Reverend Lou captured that beautifully with his humorous comments during our ceremony, endearing personality, and authenticity. He is a wealth of knowledge about various traditions. He asked us all of the right questions to create a meaningful ceremony. After our meetings with him, we would feel inspired to dig deeper into what marriage means to us. He was a comfort to us throughout our wedding planning journey and during our wedding day. We will forever be grateful.

It was an absolute honor to have Reverend Louis Olieverie officiate and be a part of our special day at the Bethesda Fountain in Central Park. Despite the cold weather, Reverend Lo...
uis delivered a truly heartfelt and moving sermon about the journey of becoming a married couple.
Reverend Louis went above and beyond, exceeding all of our expectations with his wisdom and grace. We are incredibly grateful for his presence and guidance, especially considering the short notice under which he officiated. His calming presence and soothing words truly made our ceremony unforgettable.
We cannot thank Reverend Louis enough for his dedication and commitment to making our day so special. His contribution was truly invaluable and we will forever be grateful for his role in uniting us as husband and wife. Thank you, Reverend Louis, for making our day so memorable and meaningful.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Reverend Louis Olivieri, who officiated our elopement ceremony in Central Park on Christmas Eve. From the very beginning, getting to kno...
w Reverend Louis was an absolute joy. The pre-marital counseling sessions he provided were not only insightful and meaningful but also gave us a chance to connect with him on a deeper level. His genuine warmth and kindness turned what could have been just a professional relationship into a cherished friendship.
On the day of the ceremony, Reverend Louis truly made our elopement magical. His wit and humor added a lighthearted touch that put us at ease and made the day unforgettable. He has an incredible way of making everyone feel special and loved, and he brought so much heart to every moment.
If you're looking for someone to officiate your wedding, we wholeheartedly recommend Reverend Louis Olivieri. He’s not just an officiant – he’s a friend, a guide, and someone who will make your special day even more extraordinary.

Rev. Lou was an absolute pleasure to work with on our marriage ceremony.
My partner and I wanted something very simple with only my mother as our witness during Christmas and he d...
elivered. Not only did he officiate AROUND Christmas for us, he offered to officiate ON Christmas for us. We could not have been more thrilled to have him in our home on Christmas evening to officiate.
Lou listened to us when we said we wanted something simple and meaningful and was super responsive and kind. Personally, we are a same sex couple and he could not have made us feel more welcome and loved. I would recommend him for any kind of ceremony for couples of any type, for services no matter how large or small.
Thank you, Rev. Lou!

Louis was fantastic! He really took the time to get to know us as a couple and he did that over several months leading up to the wedding. He wanted to understand each of us on our ...
own and also learn about the relationship so he could tailor the ceremony specifically to us. His ceremony was beautiful and he was very professional when it came to setting up prior to the ceremony and organizing the rehearsal so that everyone knew what to expect and where to go. Overall we are very thankful that we were able to find Lou and so grateful he was able to help us on our special day!

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 care...
s 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!

When we first booked Lou, I thought it was just another vendor. I was so wrong. It's so easy to get caught up in just paying this one and that one. Lou was very different. He said ...
I'll be in touch closer to the wedding to get to know you. I thought, yeah ok... well he did. And he made weekly appointments to really get to know us both. He helped us with a few things and became a friend. Having the best is one thing, having a best friend marry you, blows it away. He knew us, people understood because they were our friends and family.
If you have any doubts, don't. He was beyond professional and a warm part of the family by the time the wedding came.
I can't thank him enough and was proud to say he married us. Get Lou, get to know him, and have him kick off your future, you won't regret it.

From the first time we spoke with Lou we knew he was the officiant for us. We had been searching for an officiant who could deliver a civil ceremony with a religious touch. Rev ...
Lou met with us several times prior to the wedding on Zoom calls to get to know us, and discuss our wedding readings and ceremony details. By the time we met him on our wedding day, he felt like an old friend.
Rev Lou had a calming effect on our nerves that day. The ceremony was beautiful and intimate. Several guests later remarked that Rev Lou did a wonderful job. We would recommend Rev Lou to anyone.
