Cristina was absolutely fantastic as our wedding officiant! Both my wife and I wanted a very non-traditional, super fun, casual, energetic party atmosphere / theme for our wedding and with the help of Cris, it turned out way better than we could have imagined. We met with her about 5 months prior to the wedding and we told her our vision. We wanted our guests to feel like they were going to anything BUT a stuffy wedding!! Cris was highly professional, and organized. We filled out a very through questionnaire that gave her an accurate 'picture' of who we were as a couple, especially our wicked sense of humor, which totally came out in both her service and our vows. People were laughing so hard they were crying, which is exactly what we wanted!! During the ceremony, people were asking us who Cris was and her contact information as the feedback from our guests and friends was summed up in one word....'AWESOME'. - Bill & Maria

We can't say enough about our great experience with Cris! My husband and I chose to have a very short engagement and had a different Celebrant all lined up who ended up flaking on us, which was tremendously stressful, of course. We reached out to Cris after reading tons of great reviews and she was so understanding and set something up to meet in person immediately. We were so impressed with how organized, prompt, reliable and flexible she was. This was a huge breath of fresh air, considering the experience we just had. With our wedding 2 weeks away, Cris sprung into action and managed the whole process seamlessly. We still can't believe she was able to pull it off in such a time crunch. Cris has a great sense of humor, has the patience of a Saint and really listens to what you want - and most of all, delivers. We were so happy with the ceremony and received so many compliments. Our friends commented that it seemed that Cris was an old family friend. We couldn't have been happier and are thrilled our paths crossed with Cris. She has our highest recommendation!!

From the very moment we met with Cristina we knew she's who we would be honored to have marry us.From the very start she has been attentive,understanding and extremely helpful. Even with a change of venue not to far away from the wedding date, she was very professional, flexible and understanding of our needs. I would recommend her to EVERYONE. Absolutely the best. Thank you so much.

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.

Cristina officiated a baby blessing for our 10 month old son and she was fantastic. We loved her creativity and personal attentiveness to this special day for our family. We received so many compliments on this ceremony in our backyard. I would recommend her if you are looking for someone to officiate an alternative ceremony to a baptism like ours. She was absolutely wonderful and we will be using her again if we have a second child!

I would completely recommend Cris to anyone looking for an Officiant in NY. From start to finish she was a huge help. Not just in creating a beautiful and personal ceremony for my husband and I but she also helped us plan the details such as recommending venues, photographers and musicians. We were flying over from Scotland and hoping to Skype our family who couldn't be with us at the ceremony. Unfortunately it wasn't going to be possible as no one has a device capable. Unknown to us, Cris has brought a backup plan and managed to get Skype running from her tablet. I cannot thank her enough, her service went above and beyond the call of duty. Thanks again, Cris!!

Cristina was beyond patient and responsive for all questions or concerns regarding our ceremony. She went above and beyond to ensure that we had the ceremony of our dreams on a 3 week notice! We could not be more grateful to have had her officiate our marriage. Thank you Cris, we will never forget you!

There aren't enough words to explain how grateful my husband and I are for Cristina Kollet. We wanted a very small and private wedding and Cris took that and personalized it perfectly for us. She is such a respectful and warmhearted woman and we couldn't have asked for a better officiant to marry us. Although our ceremony was small Cris took the information from her questioner and made it the wedding of our dreams plus more. Not to mention how last minute my husband and I were, Cris stood by us and was very flexible and understanding. She was definitely the missing puzzle piece we needed. Our ceremony turned out to be so beautiful and it is all thanks to Cris. We highly recommend her. Truly amazing!

Cristina Kollett was our officiant for our May wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better ceremony. My husband (French) and I (American) were planning our New Jersey wedding from Australia, and Cris was more than happy to skype and email us throughout the whole process, she is a very flexible and understanding person. Our story was crafted and explained in the most beautiful way, and was explained exactly how we wanted it, with no surprises or anything we didn't expect during the ceremony. Our guests complimented us on the ceremony more than anything, people really felt it was 'our story' and was told in a very moving way. Cris is amazing and we would recommend her to anyone.

Cristina officiated my brothers wedding several years ago and I can remember being so moved by her way of sharing their love story, from laughter to tears, it was the most heart warming ceremony. So when my now husband and I got engaged I knew just who to call! Cristina is incredible at telling your story and she really spent the time to get to know us, and customized the ceremony based on this. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a truly personalized ceremony. Cristina- thank you for everything that you've done for us. The ceremony was absolutely incredible and exactly what we had imagined. You did an amazing job of bringing our story to life and making everyone feel comfortable and at ease during the ceremony (especially us!) So many of our guests shared with us that it was the most heartfelt and genuine ceremony they've ever seen, and we can't thank you enough being such a huge part of that. Just seeing you right before walking down the aisle really helped to calm my nerves. I appreciated you giving me a hug, and reminding us to have fun. Also, thank you so much for always being just a text away, and finding genius ways to incorporate all of our random out-worldly and mystical references into a comprehensive and relevant ceremony that everyone could understand! Again, thank you so much. It was beautiful and unforgettable... not just for us, but for everyone in attendance.

referred by a friend,I sent a email an received callback same day!!..Such a relaxing,pleasant person to talk to. I only gave 2 weeks notice, and with work and hectic lifestyle had very little time to talk about what we wanted.
We answered some questions sent to us by email. saw suggestions that were also sent by email based on what we wanted....and the magic was done!!
All thru email/texts/call..I even paid using PayPal. I highly recommend using "Inclusive Ceremonies"

Cris actually did not officiate our weddings, she performed two baby welcoming ceremonies for us. For our older son, it was a new experience for my husband and myself. We knew we wanted a ceremony that included our family and friends, but not completely sure how to go about it. Cris gave us some wonderful ideas while listening to what we wanted to do. Matthew's welcoming day was wonderful!

When our younger son, Jonathan, was born, it was a no-brainer that we wanted Cris again. We kept most of the original ceremony the same but added something special for my son and nephew to do. She is really good at adding the extra special parts that make everyone feel included and special.

My grandfather came for Jonathan's ceremony and was moved to tears. This was the last time I got to see him because he passed away less than a month later. It makes Jonathan's ceremony that much more meaningful and Cris really understood how my husband and I valued our family.

We would email parts of the ceremony back and forth and she felt like an easy addition to the day. She is a great person to be a celebrant for any event! I know we want her to do a vow renewal someday. We would not even consider anyone else!

From the day we called Cristina, she was so accommodating from where to meet -- to guiding us in deciding our ceremony style, and then our vows. She incorporated our special request for our guest's participation in our ceremony and offered ideas and suggestions too. We had several bumps in the road on the day of -- and who stepped up to the plate? Cristina! She was there for us from beginning to end and we are so very grateful to her going above and beyond. Truly a warm, supportive and organized woman -- more so than most of our other vendors!

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 was a total angel.... From the moment we spoke to her it felt like we already knew her, as if she was family. Cris was instrumental in helping us with our vows that we wrote for each other. Cris was always available for us when ever we had concerns or questions. She was truly a blessing. Thank you Cris for making our ceremony beautiful.

Cris made our wedding ceremony more meaningful and memorable than we could have imagined. We met with Cris less than a handful of times, but she was always available to communicate via e-mail or phone to make some valuable suggestions. She does a phenomenal job catering the ceremony to perfectly suit the couple, because she gives you the opportunity to be creative and determine how you want to express your love. It's over a year later, and people are still commenting on how much they loved it. I highly recommend Cris and Inclusive Ceremonies for your future nuptials!

What's more important than the ceremony? NOTHING, that's what! And Cristina was a perfect professional throughout the ceremony-writing process. She made us feel like the ceremony was just as important to her as it was to us. Cristina was a doll in person, willing to talk to us for as long as we wanted, as we tried to explain the way we wanted our ceremony as best we could. Of course, at the beginning of the planning process, our ideas were a mangled mess, and Cristina did an amazing job of taking that mess and turning it into a beautiful ceremony that everyone RAVED about. Guests were given our love story during the ceremony, clear and succinct as written by a true professional. We held a rock ceremony that we kind of designed together, as it was the first for all of us, and it turned out beautifully. I cried every time I read a new draft of our ceremony (we went through 5, I'm sure I tested Cristina's patience, but she'd never let me know that!). The ring exchange she wrote for us was perfect from the beginning, and remained unchanged throughout the editing process. Cristina was calm and reassuring on the wedding day, and even handed me a tissue as the tears were flowing during my vows. Cristina will be a treasured part of my wedding day memories.

We couldn't have been happier with our 2 baby ceremonies that were officiated by Cris. She is a talented, creative, true and dedicated professional and person. If you are looking for something extremely personalized and that touches the heart, she is it! People still talk about our ceremonies and how beautiful they were...
