My husband and I got married by Reverend Joe on June 15th. We were looking for an officiant that would marry us at Larkfield, and came across Church of Ancient Ways. Upon reading glowing reviews about Reverend Joe, my husband and I decided to reach out to him. This was one of the best decisions that we had made for our wedding. Joe is so personable, and made us feel at ease. We chose to go with a customized ceremony, and he was able to capture our personalities so well. He ensured that we felt comfortable throughout the entire process. Our ceremony went so smoothly, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how incredible Reverend Joe was! He truly is so great at what he does, and I'm so grateful to have had him officiate our ceremony. -

If you’re in need of an officiant for your wedding, stop right here and book Rev Joe. Everyone at our ceremony came up to us and asked us how we knew Rev Joe, they thought he was someone who has known us for many years by the way he spoke about us at our ceremony.
From the beginning, Rev Joe was very organized, professional and helpful throughout the whole process. He really walks you through it and answers every question that you have. He wrote the most beautiful ceremony based on our words and experiences. It was beyond anything we could have ever dreamed of for a ceremony. The way Rev Joe speaks is like no other. He really pulls you in and speaks from the heart. We are so thankful to him for this experience and for sharing in our day. It would not have been the same without him! -

Absolutely wonderful
I cannot say enough about how beautiful our ceremony was with the help of Minister Brenda Santana.
Besides being wonderful & relatable, she is also down to earth, with just the sweetest, calming voice.
We cannot wait for our video so we can relive it!

I couldn’t have been happier that we found the Church of Ancient ways and Joe and booked with him. I found CoAW through a friend of mine that got married and knew their work. We opted to marry on site at East Wind and wanted a ceremony that wasn’t too traditional and accurately captured our love. We did a personalized ceremony where Joe spoke with us on a zoom session to get to know us, and let us proof read and make adjustments to what he was going to read too. He literally didn’t leave room for a single dry eye in the house. People LITERALLY thought he was a friend of ours!! I heard for days about how beautiful the ceremony was. His words perfectly captured our love story and I couldn’t imagine a better person to officiate our wedding. He is so well spoken, I honestly felt like he wasn’t reading from a script but from the heart. Bonus points- He also sent off our signed certificate for us while we were on our HM and even sent a tracking number! I would recommend him to anyone in a heart beat. His work is phenomenal because he loves what he does, and you can really see it. -

First and foremost I would like to mention that REV. Joe was ABSOLUTLEY INCREDIBLE. I can not say enough how enjoyable and memorable our ceremony was. So if all you read is these first 3 sentences, great, but if you have time read below.
So I found REV. Joe by posting on the Brides of Long Island (BOLI) facebook group. About 3 people had all recommended him from the many many recommendation's I received. I took a chance and reached out and was really impressed by the quick responses I got.
We quickly set a date for our first zoom meeting and it was just to get to know each other, set expectations, etc. After we secured our date, REV. Joe set up a more thorough appointment for us to chat. He spent at least an hour or so talking to us as a couple and then individually. With that he produced an incredible ceremony, with little details about each other that really wow'd our crowd.
I cannot mention enough that so many people thought that he had known us for a very long time, or that he was a friend. THAT IS HOW GOOD HE IS! And that really is the type of person Joe is. He is endearing, funny, humble and sincere that people generally gravitate toward what he is saying.
So with that being said, do yourself the BIGGEST FAVOR you can and book REV. Joe ASAP. -

Reverand Joe Iadanza was our officiant at our February 2nd, 2024 wedding at Swan Lake Caterers. During my wedding planning experience, I had read amazing reviews given to Rev. Joe, including his customized ceremonies and all the compliments given by guests. Well, it's definitely one of those things that you don't fully understand until you experience it for yourself. For starters, working with Rev. Joe was an absolute pleasure! He was excited to learn about our relationship and offered help in any way we needed. From our meetings, Rev. Joe took our story and created an absolutely beautiful ceremony. We received numerous compliments on how engaging the ceremony was and how our guests loved hearing about our backstory. We were told, "I haven't been to a ceremony like that in a long time, there wasn't a dry eye." It was an
amazing experience working with Rev. Joe, he made our ceremony truly exceptional! -

Reverend Joe Iadanza was our officiant at our December 9th, 2023 wedding at the de Seversky Mansion and he was absolutely phenomenal!!! Working with him was definitely one of the best decisions we made in the entire wedding process. He completely elevated our ceremony and made it so, so special and unforgettable. So many people afterwards commented on how personal he made it and how great he was! I was so impressed by his ability to include humor and emotion and how it felt like we'd known him for years! Our wedding would not have been the same without him. -

Rev. Joe made our day even more special with his customized ceremony. Working with Joe was easy and effortless as he got to know us as a couple and learned our story. He truly delivered a meaningful and heartfelt ceremony, which was the highlight of our day. People are continuing to talk about our unique guacamole unity ceremony. We cannot thank him enough for everything! -

Meghan G. Sent on 12/08/2023An Unforgettable Ceremony with Rev. Joe!
There are not enough words to express mine and my husbands gratitude for all that Reverend Joe did to make our wedding ceremony absolutely perfect. When we first spoke with Rev. Joe, we knew right away that he was a great fit for us given his ability to customize a ceremony as we are an interfaith couple (myself Catholic and my husband Muslim). After booking with him, we met up with Rev. Joe a few months prior to the wedding so that we could sit down and discuss our relationship and what we wanted out of our ceremony. Rev. Joe invited us to his home and we spent well over an hour chatting, crying, laughing and more - and left feeling like family and more confident than ever in our decision to book with him.
The ceremony Joe ultimately put together for our special day was deeply heartfelt and personal, and there was not a dry eye in the audience. Rev. Joe spoke as if he had known us for a lifetime, and had the perfect balance of touching sentiments as well as lightheartedness, fully capturing our guests.
After the ceremony, almost every single guest had asked us "Where did you find your officiant?! He was incredible!" Many guests told us that they never expected to cry, and were incredibly grateful they grabbed tissues as they were "definitely needed for that emotional rollercoaster."
Rev. Joe - thank you for all that you have done for my husband and I. We are forever indebted to you for making our ceremony the best part of our wedding day.
For all you brides looking for an officiant - RUN to book Rev. Joe! -

Rev. Joe is the best!
Reverend Joe was amazing!! I can't even begin to express how many people came up to us to tell us that our Reverend was excellent. They said he was captivating, friendly, and really engaged everyone. He was fantastic throughout the entire process. He really listened to what we were looking for, worked with us on our script, and walked us through important steps and information. We would highly recommend him to others! -
