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.

My name is Todd Capielano, and I am a licensed minister serving in the Greater New Orleans and surrounding areas. I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience working with couples in both premarital and marriage counseling. I have been married to my beautiful wife, Tina, for 28 years. Marriage and family is dear to my heart, and it is my hope that I can bring the same joy and excitement that I have for marriage into your wedding ceremony. I will work with you to customize your wedding that reflects your vision and desires so that it will be a special and memorable day for you and your guests. Because of my extensive background in counseling as well as in ministry, I offer a pre-marital counseling package that will help you both prepare for a successful and fruitful marriage.

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.

Pastor Christian Matheny

Hello! My name is Christian Matheny. Congratulations on your upcoming big day! Me and my wife Hannah have been married since 2020 and, after an extended honeymoon due to COVID, welcomed our son Judah into the family. Together we serve as youth pastors in the city of Biloxi, MS, just a short drive from New Orleans. Since 2015 I have had the privilege of seeing young people grow up at our church who are now happily married. Some who met their future spouse at our youth group. We have spent many days cheering on and counseling many young adults on the path toward their person. Naturally, this makes me so excited to be a part of your journey.

I am pleased to be able to serve you as you prepare to tie the knot! Please feel free to reach out for a free consultation where I can walk you through the steps to create your own custom ceremony. I look forward to connecting with you!

Pastor Luke Bitter

Hi there! My name is Luke Bitter and I have been serving the Greater New Orleans area for 11 years. For 5 years, I’ve been officiating weddings for couples with many different love stories. Younger couples, older couples, multi-cultural and from smaller cities to larger cities. My work is to always make sure that the couple’s day is most enjoyed by them and that you know that you are cared for. I’ll even dance battle anyone if need be (that is a joke) (kind of). I will also be happy to point you to counseling resources to ensure that your marriage is put first, not just the wedding itself. Thank you again for choosing Sensational Ceremonies and I hope to serve you soon.
