  A dream come true

  I highly recommend Cantor Jacqueline Breines who officiated at our wedding ceremony. Fom the moment we met I knew my fiancé and I had made the right choice. She was warm, enthusiastic, experienced and extremely organized. She worked with us to create a spiritual interfaith ceremony that included many of the traditions of a Jewish ceremony combined with spiritual elements that would be familiar to everyone. She sings like an angel and chanted blessings in both Hebrew and English and gave beautiful explanations of the various rituals we performed during our ceremony. Her patience with our many questions asked throughout the planning process was truly astounding. It was apparent how much Cantor Jacqui loves what she does and we felt excited and well prepared when our wedding day arrived. Our guests were all buzzing after the ceremony about how beautiful it was and what an amazing voice the cantor had. Several guests came up to me during the reception raving about the cantor and said it was the most incredible ceremony they had ever been to.

  best part of our wedding day

  Our wedding ceremony remains my favorite part of our wedding day this past October! Cantor Jacqui was INCREDIBLY pleasant to work with. She was so flexible and consultative and immediately put us at ease. She took what could have been a stressful experience and made it enjoyable, fun and exciting before, during and after the wedding.
  
  She is super professional, attentive and sweet. Her voice is breathtaking...I walked down the aisle w my parents to a song she sang for us and it was such a special moment that I will never forget. So many guests came to me weeks after the wedding telling me what a beautiful, intimate and unique ceremony it was.
  
  Day of, she couldn’t have been more reliable-I didn’t think twice about the ceremony (private or public) or her ability to run the show!
  
  Overall, I would recommend her and her services 10x over. She was fabulous!

  Cantor Jacqui is exceptional, and we feel so lucky to have had her officiate our interfaith wedding. She was extremely sensitive to everyone’s needs, easy to work with, flexible, and even funny!
  
  It was obvious that she put a lot of time into crafting the perfect ceremony and experience for us and our families. She was our cheering section, our support, and our rock throughout this wonderful journey.
  
  We never tire of hearing from friends and family how extraordinary our ceremony was. And her sweet, incredible singing voice was the icing on the cake!
  
  We will be forever grateful.

  Customized Interfaith Ceremony

  Cantor Jacqui was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. My husband is Christian and I am Jewish, so we were looking for someone to officiate an interfaith wedding that had both Jewish and Christian elements. Cantor Jacqui helped us plan the perfect ceremony that encompassed all of the elements that were important to us. She had numerous suggestions as to how we could truly customize our ceremony, from the placement of the bride and groom, all the way to the different ways to read our vows. She was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her!
