I honestly can't say enough about how wonderful Cantor Neil is. I mentioned at my bridal salon that I was struggling to find an officiant for our Jewish/Catholic wedding ceremony and the wonderful owner gave a glowing recommendation for Cantor Neil and ICN. From the first contact with Cantor Neil I knew we were going to be in good hands, and every single step of the way (which can be complicated and stressful at times when trying to ensure you have satisfied all the requirements for the Catholic church) he was kind, supportive and quick to respond whenever we had a question or concern. He worked with us to create a beautiful ceremony that reflected both of our faiths, and truly represented us as a couple. My fiancé wanted a cousin who is a Deacon to perform the Catholic portion of our ceremony and though they didn't know each other, Cantor Neil reached out to him and they worked together to coordinate everything for our ceremony.. I was such a relief to have the support and guidance of someone who is so knowledgeable of all the requirements for interfaith marriages, it truly was a blessing to both of us to have his support and guidance. Since our wedding we have gotten nothing but glowing compliments on our ceremony, and since that is what a wedding is really about we are so thrilled that it was a highlight for all. -

Cantor Neil and Fr. Richard were fantastic. They helped us create the perfect ceremony that incorporated both of our faiths and both of our families. Everyone at the wedding could not stop talking about how beautiful the ceremony was - it was an authentic representation of our relationship and everything we had hoped. Cantor Neil and Fr. Richard communicated with us through the planning process, and were one step ahead the whole way. They even traveled to the Outer Banks from NY and MA to perform our ceremony, even though they had never been there before. We could not recommend them enough! -

Cantor Neil and Reverend Anthony put together a beautiful interfaith ceremony for us. Not only did they blend the traditions well, but they each recited pieces from both religions making the whole thing feel like one united ceremony and not a little of this and then a little of that. We also originally only booked Cantor Neil to do our ceremony and decided later that we wanted a Catholic officiant as well, and there was no issue making that addition later on. We definitely recommend them for your wedding ceremony! -

My husband and I were married at the St. Regis Hotel New York in the beginning of June. We were blessed to find Cantor Neil Berris in our search for an officiant who would perform a Jewish-Catholic ceremony. Prior to the big day, he visited our apartment, met with us on Zoom, and emailed back and forth to ensure our ceremony ran exactly as we wanted, providing us with unique ideas to add to our own vision. He is so uplifting and getting to know him on a personal level made our ceremony uniquely special. We can't wait to mark our future family milestones with Cantor Berris! -

We had the best experience with Cantor Neil! He was so mindful of incorporating both Jewish and Roman Catholic faiths into our wedding cermony and making sure everyone felt included. He was extremely prepared and organized and had a back up for just about everything. We appreciated his consistent kindness and responsiveness through our whole planning proces and we knew we were in great hands from the moment we hired him. Cantor Neil ensured our wedding ceremony was absolutely perfect and we are so happy he was part of our day. -

Cantor Berris and Reverend Gambuzza made our service great!! Everyone came up to me after commending what a wonderful mixture of Judaism and Catholicism the service was! Members of both sides of the family felt as though their religion was equally represented - couldnt ask for anything more :-) -

The Interfaith Network Group exceeded all expectations!
So many of our guests stated, " that was a marriage ceremony I will always remember!" Having an Interfaith ceremony was most important to both families. Reverend Gambuzza, Interfaith Network Group worked closely with my daughter and son-in-law, and my son-in-law's Rabbi to formulate a very beautiful and meaningful ceremony. Cantor Berris, Interfaith Network Group was also a real pleasure to work with. He was very eager to help and he provided an amazing ceremony framework to work with. -

We meet Cantor Berris when he officiated the wedding of my brother in law. We decided to use him for our wedding and could not have been happier! He took the time to get to know us to make our ceremony perfect. My mother recently passed away and he made sure to incorporate her in our ceremony in a meaningful way. I am so happy that Cantor Berris was a part of our special day!! -

David and Margot are very happy for their children and thankful!and thankful!
It was well worth the wait. Both you, Cantor Neil and Father Richard, were a pleasure to work with over the past 2 years. Even with all the delays (thank you COVID) and changes, Sarah and Matt's wedding day celebration went off seamlessly. It was a wonderful ceremony which was enjoyed by all. The blending of our family's Jewish Faith and Matt's family's Catholic faith was a beautiful thing. To receive blessings from both of you was a true blessing unto itself. May you continue to share the love. And may Sarah & Matt have a long and happy life together. And, of course, give us a few more grandchildren. 🥰 -

Perfect Ceremony
Being that my wife is Jewish, and I am Filipino Catholic, we needed a "solution" to get both our cultures and religion involved with our wedding. Although we weren't getting married in a temple or church, we still wanted that religious/spiritual aspect in our wedding ceremony. We did not know where to start, but one of my wife's friends recommended we get an interfaith officiant, specifically Interfaith Clergy. She was married by them many years back, but they were still quite active from what we saw. We contacted them and as they say, the rest is history...
We filled out the contact form on their site and we were immediately greeted by Cantor Neil Berris. Mind you, this was going on during peak Covid. We first spoke February 2020 and did not physically meet with Cantor Berris until October later that year. Between Zoom, Facetime and emailing, communication with Cantor Berris was excellent. Cantor Berris was always very jovial and warm each time. He is such a kind and gentle person, and we knew right away we wanted to be married by him.
Since we weren't getting married until October 2021, we had a lot of time in between. Cantor Berris always stayed in contact and guided us through what we needed to do. He came up with a personalized ceremony that would include both backgrounds of my wife and I. We went over every detail of the ceremony and everything was checked and double checked. Not only did he personalize our ceremony, but he also helped us in making sure our text was correct in our Ketubah and helping with getting our marriage license.
As for the ceremony itself, we could not be any happier. The night of the wedding, Cantor Berris and his colleague Reverend Anthony Gambuzza performed the ceremony. The two of them flowed and worked beautifully with each other (just like Kobe and Shaq in their early days). Everyone at wedding loved the fact they incorporated our cultures, and it was a beautiful ceremony. Our wedding will always be a day we’ll remember fondly. Having Cantor Berris and Reverend Gambuzza as our officiants made it that much more special and we cannot thank them enough.

Cantor Berris Gave us Exceptional Ceremony
Cantor Neil Berris was exceptional. He exceeded our expectations and our ceremony was absolutely perfect. Cantor Berris instantly put us at ease. He was eloquent and warm and beautifully captured the essence of our story and made a wonderful tribute to our loved ones. Words simply cannot describe how much joy and happiness and comfort we felt during our ceremony. We also received great feedback about Cantor Berris' service from our family. We would wholeheartedly recommend him. -
