Interfaith Minister Rev. Louis Olivieri

Reverend Louis Olivieri is an interfaith minister and wedding officiant. He has served couples across all five boroughs of New York City, northern New Jersey and Long Island for more than 14 years, and he describes his ceremonies as personalized and intimate.

Why couples choose him

Reverend Olivieri is LGBTQ+-owned and works with couples of all kinds. For you, that means an officiant who is used to writing a ceremony around the two people standing in front of him rather than adapting a template. Before his ministry he worked as a Wall Street broker and ran his own business, which gives him a practical, organized approach to the day.

What to expect

• A ceremony built around your love story
• Interfaith and non-religious wording, depending on your wishes
• Service to Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Long Island and northern New Jersey

Working with an officiant

Ask for a call or meeting before you commit. Talk through the length of the ceremony, readings, vows, rings and any family members you want to include. Find out how the marriage license is handled in your state, who signs the paperwork and when it is filed. If you are marrying in a public park or a rented venue, check what permits are needed and confirm the rain plan.
