It was a great pleasure to work with Bari Braun. She is extremely personable and knowledgeable about marriage ceremonies. She crafted a beautiful service for us that was exactly as we wanted it.

Bari Braun literally saved the day for us.
Hurricane Sandy was just a few days before our wedding in Brooklyn, NY. The aftermath of the storm left our wedding details in chaos, but we were unable to cancel. Our officiant was stuck in California and would not be able to make it. We found Bari just a day before the wedding, and she graciously agreed to be our officiant. She had no power in her home all week, and it was impossible to get gas in NJ where she was coming from. Despite all of the challenges, she was there and the ceremony was just perfect. Our guests are still commenting on how special and personal it was. We are so grateful for Bari, she is a lovely and warm officiant. We recommend her highly!

If you are looking for a celebrant who is flexible, a great listener, and a wonderful person, you should look no further than Bari! The first time we spoke with her, we knew she was the right celebrant for us. She had a gentle, yet vibrant demeanor, and put us at ease right away. It was very evident that Bari had many years of experience working as a celebrant—she came prepared with a comprehensive package that helped us pick and choose our wedding traditions. It was also helpful that she was very knowledgeable about the processes and legalities of getting married—that would have been so overwhelming for us to do on our own!



Most importantly, Bari understood everything that we wanted and got right to work on creating a beautiful ceremony. It was the perfect balance of lighthearted and sentimental, and truly reflected our own personalities. I was so impressed that she really took the time to get to know us as a couple and learn about the story of our marriage so thoroughly. As a result, she delivered a wonderful ceremony that conveyed everything about our relationship that we wanted to share with our loved ones. I even cried when I read the first draft of the ceremony that she sent us, it was just so meaningful and touching. We couldn’t be happier with Bari and would highly recommend her to any couple. She obviously loves what she does and was willing to go the extra mile to make sure that we got our perfect ceremony. Our guests raved about what a wonderful ceremony we had—we couldn’t thank Bari enough!
