What a fun conversation! Rev. Joe Iadanza! of Long Island Wedding Officiants. We love his energy and we love his group because they cover areas of NY that we do not!

Finding a great officiant may seem like a daunting task, but listening to this episode will demystify the process a bit and have you looking forward to planning your own wedding ceremony!

We sat down with Rev. Joe of Long Island Wedding Officiants and had the BEST time talking all things ceremonies — from unique unity rituals to how to find the officiant who's just right for you. Whether you're planning something sacred, secular, or a little of both, Rev. Joe brings warmth, joy, and yes — a pretty incredible family history — to every wedding he leads. 🎙️✨

(Did we mention he's a second cousin, twice removed, of Saint Padre Pio? We couldn't make this up!)

We had the best time chatting with Tim McHale, Director of Catering at the legendary Madison Hotel in Morristown, NJ — and now we're a little obsessed.

This place has it all: a stunning glass conservatory that's a photographer's dream, a restaurant literally built inside vintage train cars (yes, really — Rod's Steakhouse!), and the kind of staff that makes the whole day feel warm, welcoming and effortless.

Guests can stay in their luxurious accommodations which means no shuttles, no logistics headaches, and a lot more celebrating. There's a gorgeous new micro wedding space with a courtyard garden too, for couples who want something intimate and magical.

If you're planning a New Jersey wedding and haven't considered the Madison Hotel, this episode is your sign!
