Rev Joe Pitzer

Joe was amazing! We planned our wedding long distance and we wanted a strong southern voice at our Nola nuptials. Joe was well prepared, he had a large sample of ceremonies and readings to choose from. Joe was on time, professional, and our guests loved him! I highly recommend.

My wife and I recently were married at Latrobe’s on Royal in New Orleans. Rev. Pitzer was an amazing officiant. It felt like he knew us for a very long time, although we had just met. Working with him for a few months prior to the wedding made our ceremony amazing. He provided sample text and we were able to write our own ceremony. To hear him speak on our behalf and to us during the ceremony was beyond meaningful. Our guests thought he did an outstanding job, as did we. We would recommend him to everyone. Thank you so much, Joe! You made our day more magical than we could have imagined.

Hooray, we’re getting married! Once my husband and I decided we were going to do a small, intimate wedding in New Orleans, the hunt for an officiant began. I didn’t have to look long; I found Rev. Joe Pitzer and the search was over. Joe was responsive and courteous when I contacted him through email and with a $ 50.00 deposit our date was booked.
Through every step of the way, Joe was wonderful – giving us sample ceremonies to act as springboards for our own personalized experience, sending us advice on getting married in Orleans Parish, and even providing us some gentle pressure to finalize our ceremony when my husband and I were agonizing over the decisions. On our wedding day, Joe provided a calming presence as I tried not to weep all over my soon-​to-​be husband, and when the material for a reading was left in the car, Joe handled the potentially awkward situation with humor and aplomb. Even our guests remarked on how warm and professional he was. On Monday morning he sent us a scanned copy of our marriage certificate, which has made getting my husband on my insurance and jump-​starting the name change process infinitely easier.
I was so glad I found Joe to preside over our wedding, and no matter what kind of ceremony you have planned – religious, non-​religious, interfaith, same sex, whatever – Joe is ready to help. I would wholeheartedly reccomend him to any other couple, no matter their walks of life!
