My name is Rev Alison Caiola and I am a second generation Ordained Interfaith Minister who performs Interfaith, Traditional Religious, Non Religious, Non-Denominational Spiritual, Civil and Commitment Wedding Ceremonies on Long Island, Manhattan, The 5 Boros, Westchester County, New Jersey and Connecticut. If you are reading this, there is a good chance that you are an engaged couple looking for a Minister to perform your ceremony. First, let me just say CONGRATULATIONS to you. Marriage is a joyful transformation, a journey that will last a lifetime. It is my honor and privilege to be part of the beginning facet of your journey. As an engaged couple, when you contact me, I immediately let you know that whatever type of wedding ceremony you envision, together we can create it. My motto is "It's your day--everything is your way!" It is also important for me to get to know you so that the ceremony reflects the warmth of our friendship. If it is your wish, it is my pleasure to design a ceremony that includes your parents with special readings, a beautiful rose ceremony and even participation in the candle-lighting portion of the service. If there are children brought into the marriage, and it is your desire, I can create a special portion of the ceremony where you address the children, vowing that you will be one loving family, and your home will always be a safe haven for them. After getting to know you, we work together to create the perfect ceremony. I give you different wedding ceremony choices, and you make the final decision so that it is exactly what you have always envisioned it to be...and more! |

Who would have thought that shopping for an officiant online would have brought us someone so wonderful to celebrate our special day! We were a bit apprehensive about finding an officiant online, but from the first contact, Rev.Alison was terrific! She really made us feel so comfortable! and seemed to immediately understand our needs. I am Jewish and my husband is Catholic, yet we wanted to celebrate both of our heritages. Not only did Rev. Alison work that in to a beautiful and unique ceremony, she also introduced a tradition that was new to us both. We got so many compliments on our ceremony - and still do to this day. There aren't t enough great things to say about Rev. Alison! She is an angel and we were blessed to have her marry us! Simply put, Rev. Alison is a GEM. My husband Joe and I knew we wanted a spiritual, loving, unique and very memorable ceremony for our wedding, but that is really all we knew. We met with Rev Alison and she instantly - GOT US! She was funny, attentive, warm, supportive and dedicated to her incredible craft. She shared great ideas and exercises with us to lead us to our perfect ceremony. Rev Alison - as our minister, our interpreter, our narrator, our advisor brought it all to life for us. The ceremony was incredibly loving, real and heart felt. It was funny, light and joyous all at the same time. There was not a dry eye in the house and you could hear the laughter a mile away! She was and is a truly amazing person and is a light that shined on us. We are honored to have been blessed with her presence in our lives.
We can't believe how lucky we were to find you Rev Alison on the internet, almost out of a hat! She was warm and fun but still so calming. I know both of our families were touched by the ceremony and vows. There were tears of joy and so much laughter. We both enjoyed the whole collaborative process. She really took all that we talked to her about and weaved it into an incredible ceremony.
