Cris blessed all 3 of our children! She made our children’s blessing so very special by tailoring each one of them to our child’s individual personalities. She is kind, caring, dependable, and an amazing person and officiant. Our family was very lucky to have her perform the blessing for our children!!!!

My husband and I was very pleased with the services of Inclusive Ceremonies. Our officiant Cristina Kollet was very professional and flexible. She made planning our big day very exciting as well as easy, because she was open to perform our ceremony at any location we desired. She was very efficient with handling paper work. I would recommend Inclusive Ceremonies to my friends and family.

Where do I even begin when listing all of the wonderful qualities about Cris. She made our day memorable and extremely special. So many people asked us where we found her. She provided us with a detailed questionnaire when preparing our ceremony which she used to personalize and add our personalities into it. She did such an excellent job putting it all together and made our guests feel comfortable, laugh, cry, and engaged. Our wedding was small and intimate and we were very nervous in finding someone that we both liked and Cris had all of the qualities we were looking for. She was extremely responsive and attentive with her emails, replying right away & answering any questions or concerns we had. If she can make someone as picky as me happy, she can make anyone happy! I will always think of our ceremony with a smile on my face thanks to her! #CrisIsTheBest

Cris really showed us the caring and compassion that our event needed. From the first phone call to the last she sensitive to our needs and concerns. We had a small ceremony at our house with just a few friends. In a year we are planning a larger celebration with our families and we would want her to be there as well.

Cris did a fantastic job officiating our wedding and providing a memorable and fun experience for both us and our guests. We wanted a light-hearted and joyous ceremony, and that is exactly what we got. She took our ideas, and what she had learned about us, and shaped out the perfect script of what truly became magical moment for us and everyone who experienced it along side us. Thank you again, Cris. It was truly incredible.

We love working with Cris! We chose her to create a baby blessing ceremony for our older son. We were not sure what we wanted, but we knew we wanted something very special. We were so happy with her services that we also had her create a blessing ceremony for our younger son.

This time it was about my husband and I...we were celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary! Since the first time around we did not have a ceremony, we decided it was very important to make family the center theme of our vow renewal. Cris is wonderful! She sent us our questionnaire and asked any additional questions. When shared the ceremony for feedback via email, there was a great dialogue throughout. Even when we added a portion to the ceremony at the last minute, Cris was happy to accommodate.

My family and I feel like we know her from sharing 3 major life events with us. She is a great person to help create something special for you!

Cris is a fantastic officiant who makes the ceremony extra special for her couples by hand crafting them! We loved the special ceremony readings we heard at one of the weddings we worked together. She is a very professional and positive person to have around on the wedding day, and we love working with her! We highly recommend Inclusive Ceremonies!
