New Orleans Wedding Officiants

Reverend Allen Barrera

Email Allen Barrera

Hello, my name is Allen Barrera and I have been serving the Greater New Orleans area for 23 years. For over 8 years, I have been helping couples begin their journey together, by walking alongside with them, to create the ideal wedding. I love life and value marriage, so my goal is to have that reflected in and through your wedding ceremony. From helping with any questions to customizing your wedding, I find it an honor to serve in any way, shape, or form. Many couples truly want to start off on the right foot, so I do offer premarital counseling when requested.

After 37 years of living in one of the most unique cities in the world, I enjoy bringing that uniqueness to each and every one of the wedding ceremonies that I am privileged to officiate!
I am married to my wonderful wife, Nabila. My son Ford, is 4yrs old going on 17 and we are loving every minute of it! It would be an honor to serve you and help make ‘Your Day’, a day to remember and a catalyst to a long-lasting, vibrant, and blessed marriage. I look forward to being a part of your special day, so please do not hesitate to contact me for a complimentary consultation.

Pastor Cam Dumas

Congratulations on your decision to start the path of marriage! I would be honored to lead you into a blessed matrimony. My wife Toni and I lead the young adult community at Nola Church in Elmwood. We have had the opportunity to lead other married, engaged, and courting couples in their journey. Through this ministry we have learned what a flourishing marriage should be built upon and what will try to infect your unity. Having the discernment regarding this matter we are open to not only blessing the marriage but building a life-long relationship to encourage and support you along your journey.

I am a graduate from Loyola University of New Orleans with a degree in Business Management. I played basketball for all 4 years and have learned to translate that passion and determination into this ministry. I am ecstatic to begin this journey with you. Let’s have fun and enjoy life how it was intended to be. I am available for complimentary consultation, please reach out at your leisure.
