About Reverend Jesse Caudill
I am Reverend Jesse Caudill, an Interfaith Minister, professionally trained and licensed in New York to perform weddings throughout the United States. I have 14 years of experience creating personalized wedding ceremonies, and bring a heartfelt and sincere dedication to serving your unique needs. I am a life-long student of world religions, and honor and respect all traditions. I work as a hospice chaplain, caring for people from different religious backgrounds, and feel deeply privileged and honored to be doing this work for 16 years.
I have extensive education, understanding, and knowledge about many religious and spiritual traditions, and I am especially suited for meeting the needs of couples who want their ceremony to be reflective of their own beliefs, whether secular, spiritual, religious, or non-religious. My primary goal is to create a ceremony that is a beautiful and joyful celebration of your love and commitment, and genuinely reflects who you are, in the particular way that the two of you wish to express it.
My personal interests include meditation, poetry, guitar playing, nature, and animals. I have two cats, Bodhi and Maybelline, and a therapy Cavapoo dog named Harmony. I live in Nyack, N.Y. in a lovely apartment overlooking the Hudson River.

What to Expect
We will start with an initial in-person consultation, preferably, so you can consider whether my services are a good fit for you. What matters most to me is that you find an officiant who meets your unique needs. Some couples meet with several officiants before making a decision, and I wholeheartedly encourage you to do so.
If we decide to work together, we will move to the next phase — creating your ceremony. I will ask you to fill out the wedding ceremony questionnaire to help me get to know you as individuals and as a couple. This will also be an opportunity for you to share the vision you have for your ceremony, and the specific elements you wish to include. We will also discuss how to involve your family members or friends in the ceremony. For example, you may want to invite your mothers to share the very beautiful Unity Candle Ritual. There are many possibilities and ways your loved ones can participate in your ceremony if you wish.
As needed, I will share all the details of the ceremony with your vendors (musicians, wedding planner, photographers) and coordinate or attend your rehearsal. I am meticulous about the details because my primary goal is to make sure that everyone works together so all goes smoothly.
It would be my honor and privilege to be a part of your special wedding day. Congratulations!
