Pick rev louis
My now wife knew Rev Louis from a relative in hospice. My wife had nothing but great things to say about him when deciding who should be our officiant. Rev Louis held meetings with us which allowed us to get to know each other. Rev Louis is professional, outgoing, hilarious, and compassionate. We couldn’t have picked a better officiant. -

Once we met Rev. Louis we booked him immediately - he was the perfect fit! He took the time to get to know us, helped us deepen our relationship, but more importantly delivered a truly customized 30 minute service unique to us. He was instrumental in making the whole process seamless & stress-free. Our guests were thrilled at his energy and he set the stage for our perfect day. We loved the way it felt like he was celebrating us as a couple and included everyone else in attendance. We would highly recommend him, we were 110% satisfied!!! -

Rev. Louis was so caring with writing our ceremony. He truly takes the time to get to know the couple before officiating, which makes for a memorable, meaningful event. Our guests had so many compliments! -

The wedding officiant of our dreams!!
We hired Rev Louis Schwebius for our wedding ceremony in northern Virginia October 2023. The entire process, from our initial consultation video call, to our marriage counseling sessions and finally the ceremony exceeded every expectation. Rev Lou worked with us to customize our ceremony exactly how we wanted it, with as much or little religions undertone as we wanted. He was fun, personable and high energy. Our wedding guests are still raving about him and I had several friends ask for his information to use him as their own officiant. He also came to the rehearsal at no cost, worked seamlessly with my planner and DJ, and he and his wife even attended our rehearsal dinner, welcome party and reception! He will be part of our lives forever and I could not more highly recommend him. Rev Lou, you are awesome!! The Gallaghers -

I cannot say enough good things about Reverend Louis, the perfect wedding officiant for us. We built a personal relationship with him that made our ceremony all the more special. He had our backs 100 percent of the time, no matter what curveballs happened during the planning or the ceremony. It was the perfect blend of old school (getting to know us, helping us learn about ourselves and us as a couple) and new school (inclusive attitude about religion and marriage). -

Reverend Louis was an absolutely wonderful Officiant for us!
We had multiple meetings with him prior to help set it up, which was a very easy process with just a few assignments to help really define us, and it resulted in a very personal and heartfelt ceremony. He really made sure a piece of the two of us was cemented into it, not just a boilerplate job. All of our guests loved him and had a great time too.
Throughout the whole process he was welcoming, communicative, professional, and very Italian.
My only regret is that we could only go through the ceremony once.
Thank you Louis! -

We decided to work with Reverend Louis after having a one hour Zoom call with him. After talking with a couple of other officiants, we knew Reverend Louis would be the right choice for us because of the personal touch he said he would be able to bring to the ceremony versus having one of the other officiants who we didn’t know and who would just fill in the blanks of a standard wedding template.
I cannot overstate how much he delivered on his promise. Reverend Louis was one of the (if not the biggest!) hits of our wedding ceremony at Bluemont Vineyard. At this point, I can no longer count how many people have approached us to tell us how much they adored our officiant. Some of our guests even wanted his contact information to thank him themselves.
I truly feel Reverend Louis had our best interests at heart and wanted to both represent us, support us, and guide us from the moment we met until our wedding day. This was reflected in our ceremony, which was personalized based on our pre-marital counseling sessions. Reverend Louis brought joy to our wedding day and made it feel like what it truly was: a celebration that involved all of our guests.
If you’re wondering whether you should work with Reverend Louis, please don’t hesitate–working with him was one of our best wedding decisions and helped to make our wedding day one we’ll never forget. -

Reverend Lou was truly the most perfect wedding officiant imaginable. In all respects, start to finish.
He will have multiple meetings with you as a couple before the big day—first to get to know you and learn about your vision. Then he will meet to review the general wedding ceremony elements and find out what is important to you—my fiance and I were relieved to know that we did NOT need to feel pressure to create our own vows! I imagine that if you want him to just create something for you with limited input on your part he of course could do that. But since most of us want to be more involved and put our own imprint on things, he has a wonderful system that gets you very connected to the process and helps build positive momentum toward your special day 💜
As homework he will give you a collection of various readings that are possible for each part of the wedding. And the instruction is for you each to privately review and rate which ones resonate with you and then meet together to compare these and process why you chose them. Then together you select which are your top choices as a couple. When you meet with Louis the 3rd time you will share all of your results with him and he will take them and create the most extraordinary ceremony you could imagine—one that is unique to you as a couple and perfect for the occasion. He will also review the logistics of the day so you will be prepared. He was extremely soothing and reassuring to us with our wedding jitters and reminded “just look at me” if you ever forget what to do or say because he will coach you through it!
So many people at the wedding remarked on what an amazing job he did, and how special he made the ceremony. Although the day itself was such a blur, when we went back and listened to an audio recording together, we were overcome by the beauty of the words and the lovely tapestry he created. We are extremely grateful to him and recommend him 100%!! -

Marisa R. Sent on 11/27/2022All around amazing experience with Rev. Lou!
Rev. Lou officiated our wedding in June and we're still hearing great things from our family about our ceremony 6 months later. We don't attend church regularly but it was important to us to have an officiant that truly cared about getting to know us and produce a meaningful ceremony that we would always remember. We met with Rev. Lou once a month in the 6 months leading up to our wedding and got so much more out of it than we expected. It was a pleasure working with Reverend Lou and would recommend him to any couple that is looking for an officiant that will create an unforgettable ceremony and leave a lasting impression. -

Reverend Lou made our wedding so special and prepared the perfect ceremony just for us. The ceremony was engaging/fun and we got a ton of compliments after. To be complexly honest, we were anxious about the process in the beginning but Reverend Lou made it so easy and fun!! He is so funny and really cares about all his couples. We would leave his office laughing each time! We wanted to create something a little different because we were trying to blend two cultures together and incorporate a tea ceremony. You should definitely hire Reverend Lou for all your ceremony needs!!! -

Rev. Lou is the best! So personable, professional and funny! We wanted someone who was flexible and met our non-denominational wedding needs. We couldn't have made a better choice! The pre-marriage counseling sessions were great and we got a lot out of them. We loved his process for creating our ceremony outline and how involved we were able to be! Our families and guests loved him! We loved working with him so much, we are now having him baptize our son! :) -

When we had to quickly change our planned large wedding to an intimate backyard wedding due to COVID, Rev. Louis was there for us. When he states his goal is “for your wedding ceremony to be a joyful, personal and memorable event”, he’s not kidding! Those in attendance of our micro wedding were amazed at his message of inclusivity and made sure to weaving of both our religious and spiritual beliefs in a very personal level. Our children were also included in the most special way as we are a blended family. We will never forget his charge to us and will also always remember the laughter he brought to celebrate our joy in a crazy time. -

"Best ceremony ever"
Reverend Schwebius worked diligently with us for months in advance to make sure that not only was he prepared to perform the ceremony we wanted, but also to ensure that we were prepared to embark on married life together. The advance counseling meetings helped him know us as a couple and also gave us further confidence in our relationship and communication skills. He provided options for us in every aspect of the ceremony, but always went with what we asked, often adding his own flare. At the conclusion of the ceremony, many guests, and also our DJ, made sure to tell us the ceremony was the best they had ever seen. Reverend Schwebius worked to get the crowd excited and engaged before we ever entered the room and captivated everyone's attention throughout while honoring our love. It was more perfect than we could have ever imagined because of him. -
