Rev. Louis was absolutely amazing! He was a pleasure to work with and made our ceremony super special. People laughed, cried and most of all truly enjoyed the whole experience. I'd recommend him and Hudson Valley Officiants to anyone and everyone!

We first crossed paths with Reverend Lou at my brothers wedding 2 years ago and at that moment we knew we had to book him right away! He is very kind, thorough and professional and made sure our ceremony was one we will never forget. I am still hearing from our friends and family on the great job that he did. We recommend Reverend Lou 100%, you will not be disappointed!

Reverend Louis made the ceremony very enjoyable for everyone, made it very lovely and also provided comical relief during certain moments. I would recommend him to anyone.

Rev. Louis was perfect for our ceremony. He was so great to work with the entire time, very responsive, made us feel at ease, and made the experience really feel very personal. Given how busy he is with his work I think it is rare to find someone who can give each couple such a sense of warmth and genuine care. Rev. Louis is a genuinely kind person and anyone who has him to officiate their wedding is in excellent hands. Highly recommend!

Reverend Louis was a complete professional from beginning to end. Once we decided to approach Hudson Valley Officiants, we were not once disappointed in our choice. I am a rather tough skeptic due to a career of dealing with salespeople, but Reverend Louis did nothing to make me suspicious or think we should not trust him. Reverend Louis met with us several times and conveyed a genuine interest in our relationship. At no point did I feel like he was attempting to sell us on any extra services or drive up his price inappropriately. The whole process was very transparent and pleasant. He was quick to respond to all emails and phone calls. He kept very in-touch and accessible. When it came time for the ceremony, Reverend Louis showed up early and made his presence known. He did an outstanding job in general, but for me, he really shined in his work to prepare us as a couple. Reverend Louis of course walked us through the legal ins and outs of what we were doing, but he also gave advice li...

He made a special point to make sure we were both sober and aware of all the things the document we were to sign meant before allowing us and our witnesses to sign it. The signed license was immediately filed with the State and we had no problems. I always felt like we were in very good hands. The ceremony he provided was beautiful and concise. In preparation, he set the wedding parties at ease with his humor and professionalism. He was respectful but also very much "in-charge" when it came to how the ceremony was going to go and made sure we as the Bride & Groom were not going to have to deal with any nonsense. Every option we selected happened. I would recommend Reverend Louis and Hudson Valley Officiants to anybody considering them to do their wedding. There's enough insanity that can happen during a wedding. I loved Reverend Louis because there wasn't any drama with him, but the real magic of Reverend Louis is his ability to prevent drama before it starts. We got every penny's worth of our money, in my opinion.

When my now husband and I were beginning wedding planning, we were anxious in figuring out how to blend his and his family’s Catholic background and mine and my family’s agnostic one. Rev. Lou came highly recommended by our wedding venue, The Grandview. After speaking to him on the phone, I instantly knew he was the perfect officiant for us. They warned us he was very popular and thus books well in advance, but he was luckily available 1 year out for our wedding. Rev. Lou was originally an ordained Catholic priest who broke away from the church and went towards more of a Unitarian denomination. He’s funny, cares deeply about his job, easy to work with, and did a phenomenal job in writing a custom ceremony for us. It was the perfect blend of light religion and spirituality, and I loved that he met with us a month prior and designed it with us, so it was customized to our level of beliefs. My parents and extended family (again, mostly agnostic) raved about what a del... Read moreight he was in performing our ceremony. I’ve been to a few weddings where the religious figure seems to be a bit rude to the couple and/or the ceremony is very impersonal – Rev. Lou is the exact opposite of those! I have nothing but amazing words to describe him and how he performed our wedding ceremony. Seriously, book him now! You won’t regret it!

My husband and I were lucky enough to have Reverend Louis from Hudson Valley Officiants marry us! We got married at the beautiful Red Maple Vineyard and HVO was on the venue's recommended vendors list. They were the first and last officiant company we reached out to because one conversation on the phone with Reverend Louis was all it took for us to decide we wanted him to do our ceremony! From that first phone consultation all the way through to our wedding day, Reverend Louis was extremely friendly, accommodating, and thorough when creating the perfect personalized and custom wedding ceremony. He made sure to incorporate or leave out certain elements in order to create a one of a kind ceremony tailored to my husband and I. After the ceremony, a lot of our guests came up to us to remark on how amazing Rev. Louis was! He added personal touches, a bit of religious elements, and of course humor! Our beautiful ceremony was made so special and memorable thanks to Rev. Louis. My husband a...

From the moment we spoke with Rev Lou, we knew he would be the one to marry us. He was so helpful with our questions and requests and took the time to make us comfortable and feel like we’ve known him a while! During the ceremony he helped calm my nerves as the bride and literally engaged the entire room! People still talk about it now!!! I am so lucky that we found him! He handled our paperwork quickly and easily and we have our marriage license waiting for us after our 8 day honeymoon!

Rev Louis and his team did an amazing job listening to our wishes and concerns when building our ceremony. He went above and beyond coordinating with other vendors including the band, florist, and photographer, on the day of the wedding in order to give us the ceremony we envisioned. The vows he constructed were personalized and touching to not only us, but all of our guests. Following the wedding all of our guests were asking where we found him and telling us that it was the most enjoyable, heartfelt, and personalized ceremony they had been to. We are so grateful to have had Rev Lou officiate our ceremony!

From the moment we first spoke to Rev. Louis Zeppone we knew instantly that he was the right person to officiate our wedding. He is such a kind soul and truly loves his profession. Our ceremony was serious yet funny and personal - we received numerous compliments from our family and friends. One suggestion he made early on was the rose ceremony for our mothers. This was the first time I had ever seen this done and I am so glad that we did it! Overall, excellent experience from day 1 - I highly recommend Rev. Louis!

Rev. Louis is a true professional. Our ceremony was perfect! The rose ceremony was a huge success and we keep getting compliments! Thank you Rev. Louis!

Rev. Louis was truly our ideal officiant. Even though we were not able to meet him in person prior to our wedding, we felt very comfortable working with him as he was very friendly and professional. Rev. Louis did a great job at helping us navigate the marriage process, and help us come up with a unique wedding ceremony that included personal touches. We appreciated that he was willing to accommodate a few religious aspects out of respect for our families, but focused mainly on us and our story. Rev. Louis helped to reflect our personalities in our ceremony, and we agree with many of our guests who had said that Rev. Louis did such a wonderful job. I would HIGHLY recommend working with him. Thank you!!! (& sorry for the delayed review!)

We knew Rev. Louis was the one after our first phone consultation. As Rev. Louis was explaining to us the different aspects of the ceremony I was in tears. We knew Rev. Louis would be the perfect start to our wedding day and we weren't wrong. Rev. Louis created a personalized ceremony that was tailored to us. It's been almost one month since we got married and everyone we see keeps complimenting our ceremony and how amazing Rev. Louis was. We couldn't be happier with our ceremony! Rev. Louis made our day so special and we cannot thank him enough!

Reverend Louis has been the officiant for both of my daughters weddings. He is simply the best! Professional, personal and a great sense of humor all in one man! I would recommend him wholeheartedly!
