Allen from Sensational Ceremonies was truly top notch. Turns out, I knew him through mutual friends so this was definitely a bonus to making me feel comfortable with him as we spoke before the big day. He made sure to call me and go over detail...
s, made sure he knew exactly what we wanted said, and was so professional the day of. He made sure to speak to everyone involved and also came up and introduced himself to family and friends before the ceremony.
He checked off all the boxes and made sure he thought of everything in advance and as someone who is type A, I really appreciated this!!! I really can't say enough good things about Allen. Without him, the day wouldn't have been as absolutely perfect as it was :)
We hired Rev. Steve to be our officiant, and it was one of the very best decisions that we made. He was nothing short of AMAZING. He was extremely informative, helpful, kind, clear, knowledgeable, and creative (in the best way!). He helped us c...
raft the perfect ceremony from scratch. He gave us a lot of ideas and templates, and we used them to assemble our ideal ceremony, and then he put it all together to make it flow perfectly! He had the exact right tone of sincerity with sprinkles of humor (which we had told him we were looking for), and he helped us deliver a truly special and unique ceremony. My husband is Jewish and I am Christian, and we wanted use some pieces of both religions, and Rev. Steve was totally on board with that and was so helpful in making that a reality! We also hired him for premarital counseling, and I can't recommend that enough. He gave us a lot of materials to choose from, and we selected the topics that we most wanted to focus on. We had several sessions with him over FaceTime, and they were all amazing! He has the absolute best attitude and outlook on life, and he helped us prepare for the enormous commitment that is marriage. We relied on him for a lot, and he absolutely delivered. He was very prompt for everything from the counseling sessions, to the ceremony rehearsal, and the wedding. He is an absolute professional with a big heart, and there is absolutely no one we would have rather marry us. Another thing that we liked was how experienced he is. He has seen it all, and experienced everything when it comes to wedding ceremonies, so we knew we were in good hands. He kept it to the timeline we planned for, and everything went absolutely perfectly. I cannot recommend him enough. You will never, ever regret hiring Reverend Steve!!!
My husband and I loved having Rev. Steve as our officiant for our elopement ceremony in the Botanical Gardens. He's super personable, prepared, and has everything you need for a memorable ceremony. He provides ~15 pages of options to customize ...
your ceremony (I promise it isn't overwhelming at all, very organized) from Catholic touches, to Jewish touches, different blessing ceremonies, and special touches you can add - everything was there. He even told us how to get our marriage license and provided location suggestions for photography. I also appreciated that he wanted to get to know us as a couple BEFORE we booked him to ensure it was a good fit on both sides.
He's honestly awesome and puts you at ease that everything is covered. If you are considering him as your officiant, this is your sign to go ahead and book!
Any questions?
We chose Steve for our wedding to marry us and we couldn’t have been happier. We LOVE Steve! He is the sweetest gentleman and when our wedding planner didn’t show up to the rehearsal, he took it upon himself to make me as comfortable as possibl...
e and take care of everything he felt he could. He really is the best of the best. Highly recommend
My now husband and I are from San Diego but have always had a special place in our hearts for New Orleans. When he finally proposed to me we both agreed that the only place we wanted to get married was New Orleans. After a year of planning an...
d multiple trips down to New Orleans our special day finally arrived and it was in a word: Perfect. Rev. Steve was a huge part of making our day so special.
Prior to our wedding, he really took the time to get to know us so that his words reflected us as a couple during our ceremony. Before and after the wedding Steve was always looking out for us and there if we had any questions. We are so thankful that he was able to officiate our wedding and be a cornerstone of our special day! We cannot thank him enough!
Rev. Todd Capielano is the coolest, kindest Rev. out there! He officiated our wedding and facilitated our premarital counseling sessions. In our first meeting, my husband and I felt we all connected very well. Rev. Todd got to know us better ...
in our sessions, which helped him officiate the wedding in a more natural manner. We truly enjoyed our counseling sessions and found Rev. Todd’s feedback extremely helpful. We felt he had our back despite hardly knowing us. Thanks so much - we appreciate you!!
Rev. Steve Trahan did a wonderful job officiating our ceremony and helping us tailor a ceremony that was special to us. He was very helpful and knowledgable. We appreciated all of his advice on the marriage license filing and also how to think...
about the flow of the event. We really were so happy with how our ceremony turned out and Rev. Steve made it an extra special one for us. Thank you Rev. Steve and Sensational Ceremonies!
We could not be happier by choosing Reverend Todd to officiate our wedding ceremony! From the very first phone call, he made us feel so relaxed and comfortable. He was personable, answered all of my numerous questions, and talked us through all...
of the steps. But I think my favorite part was that he incorporated a small story of the relationship that my husband & I have. It was very memorable and one I will never forget.
Brother Todd was outstanding. He made our day feel incredibly special and helped reassure me that everything was going to be perfect, and it was! My bride and I shared a glorious day, and brother Todd went above and beyond to make sure of that....
If you’re getting married and are looking for a reverend for your big day, Brother Todd is the way to go!!
So helpful and a great ceremony!
Rev. Steve Trahan was our officiant and one of the first vendors we hired.
He was very knowledgeable and gave us advice on other planning items we were debating that helped a lot!
The ceremony was meaningf...
ul and sweet, and he added some humor in there too that was right up our alley. Everything ran incredibly smoothly.
We were so happy to have him marry us! Definitely recommend him and the company.
We were married by Rev. Steve 5 years ago and went back to him for our vow renewal. Just with the first time, he was thoughtful and thorough in making sure our ceremony was perfectly catered to us and what we were looking to experience. He made...
suggestions for locations to make it special and spoke with us beforehand to gather as much detail as possible. We will continue to use Rev. Steve for any renewals in the future!
Todd was absolutely incredible! He was so easy to work with and made our ceremony something very special. From the moment we first spoke with Todd, it was clear that he has a true passion for what he does. The ceremony was tailored perfectly to...

Todd was so amazing! He had a lot of options for us to choose from for our ceremony and at the end we were so happy with the ceremony we chose. We also got so many compliments from our guests.
Rev. Steve Trahan was our officiant in New Orleans, and we couldn't be happier with that decision! He was super flexible, considering we changed our date multiple times! I remember our first phone call with him... He is incredibly easy to talk ...
to, is a wealth of knowledge, and gives you all the tools you need to pull together a perfect ceremony! I planned our entire wedding myself and would consider myself "on top" of things, but Reverend Steve would beat me to the punch every time! I literally never had to reach out to him about deadlines, etc - he was ON IT!! The day of the wedding, he did such a wonderful job, and he made filing the marriage license such a breeze! We are so thankful Rev Steve was able to be a part of our special day! You won't regret choosing him for yours!
Rev Steve was amazing from start to finish! He was always available to talk and allowed us to customize the ceremony to how we wanted it. Even when we had to move our wedding date due to COVID, Rev Steve was extremely easy to work with! We wou...
ld highly recommend him to anyone looking for their wedding.
Todd Capielano recently officiated my wedding as well as led our premarital counseling meetings and I would recommend him to everyone! From the beginning of our journey he would reach out in such timely manners and would always be very excited ...
to catch up with us. Our original date was set for sept 2021 however hurricane Ida cancelled those plans. Even though his house had been severely impacted by the storm, he still reached out to my husband and me to check in on our wedding plans which I was completely shocked by but totally appreciated. Todd told us to let him know when we wanted to try again. My husband and I had no idea what we wanted our new plan to be until mid December 2021. We emailed Todd very quickly and asked if he would be available on Dec 26th even though it was the day after Christmas. He called us immediately and offered his services and began asking if he could help pull anything else together since it was such a quick turnaround time. there are a million more reasons why I recommend this guy but I cannot fit into one review. Just please know Todd cares and wants everyone’s wedding day to be perfect no matter what happens and he 100% helped save our big day!!!
My husband and I were fortunate to find Sensational Ceremonies on The Knot, and we were especially impressed by our officiant, Reverend Todd. Reverend Todd was absolutely perfect for our ceremony, from the planning through the execution - he ke...
pt us on a timeline from the very start of the process to the finish to make sure we had all the details perfect. He was exceptionally professional, while also being well organized, friendly, patient, timely, and personable. Reverend Todd ensured that out ceremony ran smoothly, and without him I'm sure it wouldn't have gone as well. I can't tell you how impressed we were with Reverend Todd, and our family members and friends in attendance remarked how wonderful he was. Many people thought we had known Reverend Todd for many years, based on how warm, inviting, friendly, and polite he was. I highly recommend Sensational Ceremonies and Reverend Todd for anyone planning a wedding - you will be so glad you did!
Rev Steve did an amazing job officiating our ceremony. He was extremely helpful and had many wedding tips we didn’t even think of. We highly recommend him!
Todd was great to work with on our ceremony, professional, and prepared for our big day! I’d recommend him to anyone in a heart beat.
My husband and I had a wedding haloween weekend 2021 and worked with Reverend Todd - He's the best! He gave us lots of ideas to start with and allowed us to customize our ceremony. He was genuinely happy to be apart of the ceremony and made sur...
e it was special - once youre up there, you're in the zone and he ensures you soak up eveyer minute! Thank you for that Reverend Todd! He was timely too and filed our license immediately! Thanks from Hope and Tim
Working with Sensational Ceremonies was a great experience. We worked with Rev. Steve and Allen. They both were incredibly professional, listened to what we were looking for, and made our wedding day extra special by their attention to detail. ...
We can't thank them enough.
My husband and I were looking for an officiant that could blend our shared beliefs and create a meaningful ceremony for our wedding on June 12, 2021. A family friend used Sensational Ceremonies and recommended them. After speaking to Reverend...
Todd Capielano we felt he could create the ceremony we desired. Working with Todd was very easy: he was responsive, sent us all the information we needed and incorporated all the components we really wanted. For the rehearsal, he made my husband and I as well as the readers, our parents, best man and maid of honor feel comfortable with their role in the ceremony. And the day of it all went off without hitch, other than the fact I blanked when saying my vows. Can't blame Todd for that! He was well spoken and relaxed in front of our family and friends which was around 180 people. We received compliments on Todd's officiating and the ceremony generally. He also, filed our marriage license for us, and we received it the week following our honeymoon. So, if you're looking for an officiant in the Great New Orleans area, I highly recommend Reverend Todd Capielano!
I would definitely recommend Rev. Steve! He was extremely helpful throughout the entire process from guiding us with ceremony options, rehearsal and answering all of our questions in a timely manner. He is very experienced and knowledgable abou...

I cannot say enough about the amazing Rev. Steve Trahan. Talk about someone making a Bride and Groom feel special! He is one of the nicest people I have encountered in a long time. He has a heart of gold and truly cares about his couples. ...
He was very helpful in creating a wedding ceremony that was perfect for us and included many special details tuned to our wants. During the planning process, he was always available to answer questions, offer suggestions and even help counsel us through trying pandemic times. Our ceremony was perfect and beautiful! I highly recommend Sensational Ceremonies and Rev. Steve Trahan.
Rev. Steve was just fantastic. He walked us through the ceremony before the day of and offered suggestions to help make the wedding ceremony go smoothly. He even sent a ceremony package to help us with the wording and planning. We highly reco...

Reverend Todd was amazing! He allowed us to design a custom wedding script, was timely and personable, and all around a pleasure to work with! I am so thankful to him for his help, time, and professionalism to help make our wedding day special!
Sensational Ceremonies was recommended as a preferred vendor at our wedding venue- The Chicory. When we inquired about an officiant with Sensational Ceremonies, we were introduced to Rev. Steve Trahan. From our initial meeting, to our rehearsal...
, and then to the actual wedding day, Rev. Steve Trahan was an extreme wealth of knowledge, guiding us through the entire process. With the wedding ceremony kit provided, couples have multiple options to choose from to and incorporate into their ceremony. Rev. Steve took all of our wishes and pulled them into a perfect ceremony that paid tribute to my late father, acknowledged and solidified the bond between me and stepson, and most importantly highlighted the loved between me and my husband. The ceremony felt very personal and overall perfect! Rev. Steve is extremely professional and knowledgeable, beyond just the ceremony. He was able to provide guidance and suggestions for the entire day given his experience. Overall, we were extremely impressed by Rev. Steve. The entire day was perfect, and he was a large part of helping everything come together!
We hired Todd for our elopement in New Orleans. I really had no idea where to start and Todd was highly recommended. From beginning to end he was professional and always stayed in touch. Even though COVID was a concern that we would need to can...
cel. Todd kept me calm and was always positive. He performed a ceremony as if he knew myself and my now husband intimately! I cannot say enough wonderful things about him and his service. He is top notch!
The best experience with Rev. Todd in New Orleans! My biggest worry when planning a destination wedding was being married by a "stranger." I searched officiants in the News Orleans area and continued to see reviews for a Rev. Todd with Sensatio...
nal Ceremonies. I knew he was the man to marry us from the first communication. Rev. Todd is laid back, compassionate and professional. We decided to take his premarital course and over the 6 months leading up to our wedding we got to know Rev. Todd even more. He is an amazing counselor. I am so glad we did the premarital sessions as Rev. Todd felt like an old friend by the day of our wedding. I highly recommend booking Sensational Ceremonies, especially Rev. Todd!
We had a destination wedding in NOLA this past December. From our first consultation, Steve made sure to take care of all the details to ensure everything went smoothly. We didn’t have a rehearsal the night before due to the size of the wedding...
. He took care of us on the most important of our lives and made sure all the involved parties knew exactly what to do. I will forever be grateful that everything went as smoothly as it did!
My wife and I had a destination wedding in NOLA from the DC/MD area and could not have been happier with Rev. Trahan. Admittedly, we were a bit nervous to have someone we didn't know serve as our officiant. However, with a personable approach...
and genuine care for our day, Rev. Trahan put all of our concerns to rest. He was punctual with communication leading up to the day, and put on a wonderful ceremony that met all of our preferences. We are so grateful for his warm demeanor and care for detail. We cannot recommend him enough!
Sensational Ceremonies was recommended by my wedding coordinator. I reached out and was quickly contacted by Rev Todd. After our first phone call, I knew our ceremony would be in great hands. I love that we were able to personalize our ceremon...
y in a way that best reflected our relationship. Rev Todd attended our rehearsal as well, and our wedding ceremony was perfect. We are so grateful for Rev Todd. He played a big role in our perfect wedding day.
We had Rev. Steve as our officiant for our wedding and he was AMAZING. From start to finish he was the glue to help keep everything together! Starting with the choosing of the ceremony and me mixing and matching different things I wanted to inc...
lude, he brought it all together so nicely! At the rehearsal he was a huge help keeping all of our wedding party alert and paying attention and he explained how things would work the day of very thoroughly! Everything flowed so well and he did such an awesome job! He has even helped us weeks after the wedding getting our marriage license copies ordered!!
This review is over due and I have let the time pass for a review go on for far too long. I apologize Rev. Steve, but better late than never. My wife and I had the honor and pleasure of asking Rev. Steve to be the person who married us. I canno...
t begin to tell you or review how professional this man was and how awesome he was. See, my wife and I got married in a hurricane so tension where a flaring but Rev. Steve was the angel in the light that held it all together. The manager/owner of the place we got married at and had the reception at was not the nicest person nor the most organized. She appeared to be otherwise when the interview was in process of picking a place. She dictated to us instead of asking us and Rev. Steve came in light a knight in shinning armor and corrected her actions. Rev. Steve is an amazing person and one I would recommend whole heartedly. If you are in the New Orleans area, please pick Rev. Steve. He will not disappoint you and will exceed you expectations. His a sincere and genuine person. In the chaos of our wedding, he was the only constant and beckon of light. I can never give enough thanks to the man in which he deserved. Thank you again Rev. Steve.
Reverend Todd served as the officiant for our destination wedding, and we could not have been happier with the ceremony and services that we received! Reverend Todd was communicative from the very beginning (which was especially important to us...
as a destination couple), and allowed us to create a ceremony that was true to who we are as a couple. Beyond that, Reverend Todd was a source of comfort as we worked through the ever-changing pandemic guidelines and cancellations that came along the way. He was flexible, understanding, and reminded us that the day was about more than a location or perfect plan. Our small group of family and friends raved about Revered Todd! From how approachable and professional he was upon their first meeting, to how personalized the ceremony was, our family and friends were floored by it all. They all said it felt like he was a close family friend, which is exactly what we had hoped for. Truly, our wedding day would not have been half as memorable without Reverend Todd. It is without hesitation that we would recommend him to anyone looking for a truly memorable wedding ceremony from one of the best!
My husband and I were so blessed for Rev. Todd. He helped every step of the way. Not only did he officiate our special day at The Berry Barn, he helped us ensure that we had the right paperwork and were fully organised beforehand. Currently liv...
ing in NC, and amid Covid-19, we were a little unsure about the requirements, but Rev. Todd gave us all the information we could need. He was so personable, and made our ceremony come to life. The wedding guests couldn't stop raving about how beautiful and impassioned the ceremony was that he performed for us. Thank you so much for everything Rev. Todd!
This is a tough review to write without crying. Rev. Todd Capielano was an absolute joy and honor to partner with for my wedding. Looking back, all of the fabulous reviews for Rev. Todd I read were spot on. From our very first phone call to the...
night of my ceremony, what a smooth, easy and beautiful process. Rev. Todd went above and beyond to personalize and make our ceremony so special. I tear up thinking of how touching he made a tough moment for me- honoring my Father who had passed away five years before my wedding. I was crushed to not have my Dad there to walk me down the aisle and Rev. Todd made beautiful recommendations for ways I could honor him. My Mom was so touched by how special of a moment the words Rev. Todd shared about my Dad and the placing of a single rose in a reserved chair with his picture on it. The ceremony was so nice and flawless. My guests wondered how long I had known Rev. Todd because he made it feel like my husband and I were old family friends. I recommend you drop what you’re doing, pick up the phone or send an email to reserve your ceremony with Rev. Todd Capielano. It’ll be your first best decision for your special day.
Rev. Steve was phenomenal! Seven months before our wedding, I contacted Rev. Steve. Both my husband (fiance at the time) and I spent over an hour talking to Rev. Steve on the phone. He was really nice, informative, and was easy to talk to. The ...
conversation went so well, we booked him that night. The next day, he sent us a 20+ page document. It outlined all of the procedures for getting a marriage licenses and provided options for the content of the ceremony. We loved having the ability to craft the ceremony to our own style. At the rehearsal, Rev. Steve was well-prepared and did an excelled job with prepping us and our bridal party for the big day. The ceremony went flawlessly and we received so many compliments on the ceremony. We can't imagine having been married by anyone but Rev. Steve.
Right from the first phone call... To the I Do xx Rev Steve, made us feel at ease, the professionalism, personable and knowledge that he brought to create our truly unique and memorable day from start to finish, helping create our personal word...
s for our vows and to help choose our magical setting..... Jackson Square, just outside St Louis Cathedral..... Such a beautiful ceremony all organised in a short time...... A very big thank you xx it was truly amazing and lovely cremony
We were very pleased with Sensational Ceremonies and in particular our officiant, Rev. Steve. In phone calls and email correspondence leading up to our wedding, he was always friendly, helpful, and informative. He guided us in obtaining a marr...
iage license and handled all of the paperwork following our ceremony. Rev. Steve offered suggestions on designing our ceremony and was open to all of our ideas. We were very happy with the work he did for our ceremony and think others would enjoy having him officiate their wedding.
Rev. Steve was absolutely perfect for our wedding. He was fun to work with, super nice guy and was always available to answer our questions and steer us in the right direction.
From our first conversation I felt comfortable working with Rev....
Steve and he felt like a very genuine person that was well experienced in officiating weddings and ceremonies.
I would confidently recommend sensational ceremonies to any of my friends and family should they need their services.
Thanks again Rev. Steve. You were absolutely perfect. Thank you sir.
Right before our ceremony started, things got a little hectic because we fell behind on the schedule by about 30 minutes. We all walked in to the staging room getting ready to begin the ceremony and Rev. Todd was there waiting on us. He immedia...
tely became this calming presence. He spoke to us with confidence and kindness and we felt like we were in good hands as soon as we started talking to him to sign our marriage license. Then the ceremony started. Once we were at the alter, Rev. Todd commanded attention. His confidence from earlier continued and I felt calm, relaxed, and in control the entire time we were with him. He kept everyone's attention throughout the entire ceremony. He encouraged my fiancé and myself anytime we felt emotion was taking over. He allowed us to take our time. He allowed improvisation and I never felt the need to have everything perfectly memorized. As soon as he started talking, I knew he was the perfect choice for our wedding day. He was the perfect leader for our ceremony and we will always have a very special place in our hearts. He is warm. He is inviting. He is confident. He will bring peace and calmness to your wedding day, which is exactly what we wanted.
If you are looking for an officiate for your wedding... Rev. Steve Trahan is the real deal. He was so professional and stayed in touch from the beginning. We had him also do our rehearsal and he was hands on and made everyone feel at ease. I wa...
s able to relax on my wedding day knowing that the wedding would be everything that we wanted it to be. We were able to pull and choose what we wanted from his suggestions for a totally unique ceremony. We highly recommend Rev. Steve.
Rev Steve not only officiated our special day in New Orleans, he helped us ensure we had the right paperwork and were fully organised beforehand. Coming in from overseas we were a little unsure about requirements and contacted a few officiants....
Steve's prompt, helpful and proactive replies made us decide to immediately stay with him and we are so glad we did! He provided us with a selection of ceremonies to choose from and adapted them to our personal preferences too. And he was even able to help us with photography recommendations! He's a lovely man, and he gave us such a beautiful ceremony in front of the Cathedral by Jackson Square. 10/10 we would recommend Steve and Sensational. I need more than 5 stars for them!
Rev. Steve Trahan was delight to work with, he is experienced, full of helpful information and tips and easy to reach (we were organising it from the UK).
He is very professional with an eye for detail, if you need an officiant in New Orleans,...
he is your guy !!!! :)
Steve made our day unforgettable. He was so professional and an ease to work with! We can’t imagine our ceremony without him.
Right from our first meeting, Reverend Allen 'got' us. He captured us in the most beautiful custom ceremony script. His enthusiasm is boundless, even our guests commented on how uplifting his voice was. We highly recommend Reverend Allen.
Rev Todd Todd Capielano was awesome! He tailored our ceremony to make it as unique as us. We included a tying the knot ceremony but forgot to learn how to actually tie a fisherman's knot. About 2 minutes before the ceremony, he showed us a shor...
tcut that made us look like knot tying experts! He was super helpful and was extremely responsive. I definitely recommend hiring Todd at Sensational Ceremonies!
We had Reverend Steve as our officiant and we couldn’t have been any happier with choosing him. From day one he was nothing short of warm, professional and attentive to our needs. My now husband and I aren’t very good at writing (or being mushy...
for that matter) so we did not plan to write our own vows. Reverend Steve had a huge selection of beautiful, prewritten vows to choose from which was more than helpful. Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful and we could not be more thankful for him!
Rev. Steve Trahan was our officiant, and we were very happy with the whole process. We wanted a non-religious ceremony, and he had great suggestions and was receptive to all of our ideas. He was kind, well-spoken, and professional. The ceremon...

Rev. Todd was our officiant for our wedding and he did an amazing job. Before the wedding, he was always kind, polite, and he always responded to our concerns and questions very quickly by e-mail or phone. He even agreed to do a mini-rehearsal ...
over the phone which was extremely helpful. The day of the wedding, he was polite to our family; he even introduced himself to our parents when we were busy getting ready for the big day. The ceremony was beautiful and he delivered it perfectly. He was professional yet spoke with vigor (not mono-toned like many other officiants). We received many compliments for our ceremony and it's all because of Rev. Todd. After the ceremony, he was kind and patient to sign the wedding license until we were finished with our last few photos. We are extremely happy with how our ceremony turned out. Thank you Rev. Todd!!!
Rev. Steve Trahan made this a smooth and seamless process. From our first phone chat to the day of the ceremony we always knew what was going on and he communicated anything we may need. He suggested the perfect location and fit in with our day...

Rev Todd Capielano performed such a sweet, meaningful, and memorable ceremony at our wedding on November 30, 2019! He arrived in plenty of time to our wedding. Rev Todd was a joy to speak to from the very beginning. He was thorough in explaini...
ng what he offered and what he could do for our ceremony and always responded immediately to any questions we had. He was open to suggestions, additions, or changes. My husband and I wanted to include the Tasting of the 4 Elements in our ceremony. We were ecstatic that Rev. Todd was just as excited to perform this addition to our ceremony at our wedding!!! We are beyond happy and satisfied with the service Rev. Todd provided. When you use Sensational Ceremonies ask for Rev. Todd. We promise that you will not be disappointed. He is amazing! One last thing, we have family and friends come up to us after the ceremony to let us know they had never witnessed such a meaningful ceremony and that Rev. Todd was awesome!! Thank again Rev. Todd and God bless you.
Rev. Trahan married us and did such an amazing job! He is so nice and really tries to get to know you before the wedding (and also offers pre-marital counseling). He has some pre-written ceremonies for you to review and pick and choose what you...
would like. We added some personal stories to our ceremony as well as personal vows and he made everything flow perfectly. You will not be disappointed!!
Where to start?! Rev Todd Capielano was my wedding officiant. My now husband and I live out of state. Although I am from New Orleans, I did not have an officiant that I knew of right away to ask to write my ceremony. I read the reviews about se...
nsational ceremonies, did all the searching and finally sent in an inquiry about my ceremony. Right away I received an email from Rev Todd. He was very professional, excited about our wedding, and answered all the questions I had. Knowing that we lived out of state, he set up a time convenient for us to call and talk to us about our ceremony and the visions we had. After that phone call, I just knew Rev Todd would be great. He had a great personality and was all about making our ceremony something we could remember for the rest of our lives. He sent us all the info we needed to make everything go smooth and it did! Rehearsal day and wedding day came and Rev Todd knocked it out of the park. He was friendly, funny, laid back, and just a great human being! He had me in tears the whole time with the beautiful words that were said. All of my family and friends came up to me and told me how beautiful it was. I will never forget that special time for us, and I am so happy that I had Rev Todd officiate our ceremony. He made it all about us and what we wanted said. It really was perfect. So thank you again Rev Todd from the bottom of our hearts!
Choosing Rev. Steve for our wedding officiant was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding! We decided to reach out to him almost two years before the wedding and we discussed everything on the phone for almost an hour! He has so much ...
knowledge with the wedding process and what is needed to get married in NO since this was a destination wedding for us. He was so nice and helpful through the ENTIRE planning process and even helping after the wedding! If we had any questions it was so easy to get in touch with him. He is the absolute best for ALL couples with different backgrounds! If we were to get married again then I would hire Rev Steve again!
Rev. Steve was such a pleasure to work with and we couldn't of asked for a better addition to our Elopement! He listened prior to our wedding and was very detailed in what we needed to do and bring. His tone is thoughtful and respectful. He i...

Working with Sensational Ceremonies, specifically Todd as it pertains to my wife and I, was a truly wonderful experience. We were paired with Todd to officiate our destination wedding in New Orleans and he did not disappoint. We had the expec...
ted angst and reluctance that a couple might have when hiring someone to have such a prominent role on your most important day, when there is no extensive personal history or relationship with that individual. After our very first conference call, all of those trepidations immediately disappeared. Todd was so personable and reassuring, not to mention appropriately professional throughout the entire process leading up to and including our wedding day. He helped us craft a ceremony and vows that were reflective of us as a couple and promoted the exact atmosphere that we aspired to have during our wedding ceremony. We were blessed to work with Todd, cannot speak highly enough of him, and do not hesitate to recommend that you include him in your wedding ceremony.
Rev. Steve Trahan officiated at our ceremony and as out of state residents he was invaluable in guiding us through the license process and giving us tips on the wedding and reception. He has a lot of alternative formats and wedding words and l...

Rev Steve went above & beyond as our wedding officiant & we are so happy with our experience!
After our initial phone call, I felt so much peace - we knew he was the man for the job! He is very timely, professional, & communicative (which was...
important since we did most of the planning remotely / out of state) He filled us in on all the big & small details, gave helpful tips, walked us through how marriage licenses work in Louisiana, & everything to expect. We felt truly cared for and looked after during the whole process. He is so knowledgeable, warm, & welcoming!
We loved all his ideas and "little something extras" for the ceremony & he listened to how we wanted to personalize the day too. Plus, he is a wonderful speaker! Our guest kept commenting on his kind demeanor, words, & helpfulness. We didn't have a rehearsal of any sorts, so I really appreciated how he looped everyone in & helped them feel prepared day of. He is so good at his job & we believe has a God given gift of celebrating & honoring people on their special day.
I could go on & on, but lastly I just want to mention: I visited New Orleans about a month or so before my wedding with my mom. On a whim, I asked if Rev Steve would meet in person for coffee - I really just wanted to meet the man who would be standing next to us on our big day. Not only did he agree, he recommended a wonderful place (City Park) because he knew we loved oak trees! It was such a nice gesture & personal touch. We ended up taking wedding portraits there & I might not have - had Rev Steve not introduced me to the beauty of City Park.
He is full of good ideas and a warm heart - we are so honored he married us!

We were married by Steve in NO on 2.23.19. The whole process with him as our officiant was smooth and easy. He provided a few different ceremonies to look over and I was able to customize the ceremony exactly as I liked. Steve was punctual for ...
both the rehearsal and the ceremony and was knowledgeable. He was also very personable and worked with my wedding planners and the hotel staff seamlessly. He added a few personal touches during the ceremony as well so I didn’t seem as if he was reading a script verbatim which I appreciated. Afterwards he filed our license and we had it on our doorstep in NJ in just over a week even though we were told it would be 4-6 weeks! All in all me and my husband were very pleased with his services. We would highly recommend him!
Todd was awesome!! For our 3.9.19 wedding, we opted for an outdoor 20 minute ceremony. Todd went above and beyond and actually met with us in person twice before the big day to make sure that everything was in order and just the way we wanted i...

wer any questions and I could tell that he really cares about making the ceremony special for each individual couple. So many of my friends and family commented on how sweet and beautiful our ceremony was and I know that was largely due to having such a wonderful officiant. The preparation package that was sent was easy to use and had several different options to choose from. I had a hard time picking one ceremony that fit perfectly for my husband and I, so Rev. Steve took the time to help me combine different parts of several ceremonies and even add in a few special requests that I had. In the end it was perfect and I know that I made the perfect choice for our wedding day. Thank you Rev. Steve and Sensational Ceremonies!
I am thrilled that we booked Reverend Steve from Sensational Ceremonies! From the minute we booked him to 6 months later we received several phone calls which helped us tremendously decide on the type of ceremony we wanted, small details that w...
e never even thought of, and so much more. When my now husband and I as well as our bridal party met him at the rehearsal dinner we received so many comments about how thorough and thought out he and his direction was. When the wedding day came Steve was amazing yet again! Our ceremony was flowed so smoothly, was super personalized to my husband and I, and yet again received so many compliments on how beautiful it was and how great our officiant (Steve) was. We completely recommend Steve and Sensational Ceremonies and will be recommending him to everyone we know for sure!
