    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!

    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...

    Cristina was a pure professional and made our Jersey City wedding a perfect event!...she took the time to work with to prepare a perfect ceremony, with a sermon and vows tailored to us as a couple. I expected a garden-variety, cookie cutter response doing a river-side destination wedding, and was shocked that is was the absolute reverse. It was perfect and a Cristina is the best!

    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!

    Finding Cris a week before our ceremony was an absolute blessing! She was always available to assist us in the planning of our service and was very, very easy to work with. She listened to what we looked for in our ceremony and offered good suggestions and guidance. Not only was she extremely professional in her duties as a Master Life-Cycle Celebrant, she is a compassionate person who added to the beauty of our ceremony. I can't think of anyone else who I'd want to perform our ceremony. It was a lovely service – one that we'll never forget. We highly recommend her services.

    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 is an amazing officiant! She went above and beyond creating the perfect geeky wedding ceremony for my husband and I. She's very through, really got to know about us and our love story. She didn't just put together an amazing ceremony, she helped me when I was having trouble with writing my vows and was very kind and supportive helping me deal with losing one of my best friends just a few short months before the wedding. Cris is kind hearted, understanding, and was a perfect officiant who we would recommend to everyone.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    For future couples who wish a truly unique and wonderful service, I would high recommend Cris Kollett and her services. She was so very helpful, kind and pleasant to speak with right from the very first meeting. She has no trouble helping with any details or adjusting her schedule to meet any questions/issues. I felt completely confident from the very first. Our wedding was at the Walpack Inn in Walpack Center NJ, a wonderful restaurant with fantastic views of the countryside, not to mention the wildlife! Cris's delivery of the service was superb and made everything special. Even our guests loved her! She helped us put together our ceremony with engaging questions that were never too abrupt or too personal. Her handling of everything was exemplary.

    Words cannot express how happy my husband and I were that we decided to hire Cristina Kollet as our wedding officiant. We were looking for a lighthearted, personal wedding ceremony that really spoke true to us and Cris exceeded our expectations. After talking to her, we immediately felt her warm and easy going attitude and knew she was right for us. Our ceremony was absolutely perfect and she have heard nothing but RAVE reviews. After filling our our questionaire, Cris created a very personal ceremony with music quotes and our story which blended so well, being that music is a huge part of our lives. The ceremony was just so "us" which made it very personal and memorable. We have been told many times from our guests that it was the best wedding ceremony they have every heard and were so happy to be there to witness it. We can't thank Cris enough for everything she did to make it special for us. We HIGHLY recommend her. A true talent.

    Cristina Kollet performed my wedding ceremony on June 28th. I cannot express how truly wonderful she is. Working with Cristina was a pleasant experience in an otherwise stressful time. My husband and I clicked with Cristina immediately and she seemed to become our friend in the process of preparing our ceremony. Cristina is an exceptional writer and storyteller and captured every bit of sentiment I was hoping for in the ceremony. The day of the wedding her performance was stellar. ALL my guests were raving about how special, personal and intimate the ceremony was and were asking..."where did you find her, she's wonderful" I am so glad I found her! She seriously made our wedding complete and memorable. She's awesome

    Cristina is an outstanding wedding celebrant! Extremely understanding and flexible. She used information we provided on our questionnaires to compose a wonderful ceremony our guests still speak of 1 year later!
    We highly recommend Cristina Kollet as a wedding celebrant!

    Cristina has an ability to hear what you want and make your dream ceremony come true. Her warm disposition, sincerity and genuine love for her work shine through in your personalized wedding ceremony. Cristina allowed my most special moment to be intimate and magical while managing to include a venue full of people. When I look back on my ceremony I am overcome with joy because no one could have told my love story in such a perfect way. My guests said it best "best ceremony ever". There are not enough words in the world to thank Cristina for making my lovely love story everything I wanted and more.

    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!!

    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!

    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.

    Cristina is amazing! Professionalism to the hughest. What is even better, she sincerely cares about you and yojr wedding. I had a wonderful reception but i know that when people look back at my wedding years from niw they will be talking about the most awesome ceremony they ever witness. While yes it did require some minor work from me and my now husband, it was Cristina that wrote and delievered our story in the truest and most heartfelt way i could imagine.

    I feel lucky to have found Cris. If i ever have a child she will be there to welcome it to this world. And iwhen we have a vow renewal she will be there too!

    Contact Cris and she will help make your day 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.

    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!

    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 wrote a wonderfully intimate and humorous vow renewal/5th anniversary ceremony for my husband and me that included nods to our two daughters and our then-unborn son as well as a unity ritual involving the "ceremonial partaking of pizza bagels" to celebrate our blended family. Her attention to detail truly made the experience; we wanted a joyful celebration and received that and more.

    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!

    The ceremony that Cris put together for us was completely personalized, and allowed us to review it in detail to ensure the word spoken on our day were all about us and our lives together. The ceremony itself was beautifully done and delivered. There were very few dry eyes in the house. I would definitely recommend Cris, you will not be disappointed!

    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 an amazing officiant. She was actually recommended to us by our FIRST officiant, Dana, who could not officiate our wedding. Dana became pregnant and her due date was our wedding weekend! She recommended Cristina, and everything went swimmingly! We wanted to design a ceremony that incorporated elements from both traditional Jewish and Greek Orthodox weddings, but also had a personal spin. Cristina did an amazing job helping us! She wrote a wonderful "personal story" that was read at the beginning of the ceremony. We included readings from e.e. cummings instead of traditional religious readings, and then included the traditional Jewish and Greek Orthodox elements, which Cristina explained to everyone during the ceremony. She even took photographs of our ketubah which she included in the personalized booklet that she gave us that included our entire ceremony. Definitely received our money's worth with Cristina, as we drafted the ceremony several times. Everything was perfect! I knew that it was an excellent ceremony that kept our guests engaged because I received so many wonderful and specific comments about the ceremony from many of our guests! I was so happy that everyone enjoyed the ceremony so much. Cristina is a wonderful officiant :)

    Chris was able to step in to officiate our December 23rd wedding ceremony when our original officiant had a family emergency and had to cancel at the last minute. She made the transition very smooth and remained calm and professional throughout the entire process, even when half of our guests were an hour late to our ceremony! Chris was flexible and kind, which allowed us not to freak out during what could have been a very stressful situation. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding ceremony.

    Hiring an experienced, professional officiant was easily the best money we spent on our wedding. Cris was incredibly detailed and thorough. She was great at steering us away from doing things in the ceremony because we thought we "had" to and toward elements that would truly be meaningful for us. And she was a wonderful calm presence on the day. I especially appreciated how she made our readers feel at ease and well directed.

    Cristina was great, the planning was very easy and the ceremony went very well. We wanted a short and sweet ceremony, got exactly that, and many of our family and friends commented afterwards about how much they liked the service. Would definitely recommend!

    Cris was great at helping us to craft an intimate non-religious ceremony. We didn't just want to read our vows and be done. Her experience with a variety of types of weddings was invaluable -- and any time we had a crazy idea, she'd never tell us it was crazy. She told us it was whatever we wanted, which was nice, and we eventually settled on what turned out to be a great ceremony with her. Her initial draft of the ceremony was great, and we nit-picked our way through 4 revisions and she didn't bat an eyelash. Thanks!
