ing had everyone in tears with their hearts wrapped around us. We incorporated my daughters adoption into our day and Kris could not have made it happen more beautifully. The level of detail that Kris gets into when getting to know the couple it’s beyond all expectations. She face times you a few times and after she thinks she is feeling the couple, she sends you version one of your wedding to review. It’s a very special and communicative process that happens. She truly understands what connects the two people and why they are making this commitment. I feel so grateful and so fortunate that we came across her name. If you are looking for someone to officiate your wedding in a unique and loving way- look no further. She will make the day one no one will ever forget.

Kris is INCREDIBLE! From start to finish she was attentive to us and our needs. I wanted some Catholic traditions and my husband wanted some nondenominational aspects. Kris put together a beautiful ceremony. She really and truly loves what she ...
does and invests her time into getting to know her couples. She even got a little choked up during our ceremony which was very comforting. My parents loved the ceremony and said the entire time was engaging and she spoke as if she’s know us our whole lives. I can’t wait to watch the video back and re-live such bright sunshine on what was a gloomy and rainy day. Beyond thrilled we now have Kris apart of our family forever! Thank you for a wonderful ceremony! 💜 The Minnichs

When I was planning my wedding, I knew one of the most important aspects would be our ceremony. Kris certainly made our ceremony everything I thought it would be. She took her time with writing up our ceremony, she added such important aspects ...
of me and my husbands lives and just put the perfect little touches into it. She gave me great ideas while planning out the ceremony and made me feel comfortable about changing things last minute if I wanted to. Kris is extremely professional yet I felt like she was a friend and a shoulder to lean on throughout the planning process. During the pandemic, she was one out of few people who remained hopeful that my husband and I will have our special day. Kris has really proved that love will find its way. I am so happy that she really made our ceremony so perfect, a week later and my friends and family are still talking about how great she was and how amazing my ceremony turned out. Personally, my husband and I are not too religious, but my grandmother was and my husbands family is. Therefore, I felt it was necessary to mention god and say a prayer during the ceremony. Kris fulfilled that perfectly! I forgot to mention, even when it came down to getting our marriage license, Kris not only wrote an entire email explaining the process but she even sent us a reminder. She worked so well with my wedding planner and other vendors. There’s just so many great things about Kris to even mention. If your ceremony is going to be as important to you and your significant other, as it was to my husband and I - - look no further! You have found your officiant!

lt like we connected with her. She was empathetic, asked great questions about us and our relationship, and all around had amazing energy. After booking with Kris, she was extremely professional - she checked in regularly and communicated clearly. It was very easy to work with her! The ceremony she had written for us - was soulful and incorporated so many of the aspects of our backgrounds/culture/family/personalities that it distinctly felt like "us". Given the circumstances with COVID, we unfortunately had to postpone our original June 2020 wedding date and Kris did a wonderful job of calling/texting/emailing to check in on us. She was flexible and extremely empathetic to the situation. With so much uncertainty given the pandemic, my husband and I decided to have a very small, intimate ceremony and we asked if Kris could be a part of our special day. Kris recommended a beautiful location in Spring Lake and the plan went off seamlessly. She followed all the CDC guidelines and was extremely thoughtful in that regard. The day ended up being everything we could've really hoped or asked for. The ceremony felt personal, full of love and sentimental. We feel extremely blessed that Kris was able to be a part of our special day and could not recommend her more highly!

the perfect officiant match for us! We had our initial meeting with Kris and everything went so smoothly. Yes, we talked about how Taylor and I met, what we're doing for our wedding, etc., but we also talked as if we had been friends for years! We just clicked! From there, she got our wedding ceremony out to us very quickly (we had it over a year in advance). The first time I read it, I cried. Kris has such a natural talent. We waited until about 1 month before the wedding to meet with her again when we had things finalized. Instead of a finalization meeting, it truly just felt like we were grabbing coffee with a friend. Per my request, she came to our rehearsal dinner. At this time, she filled out all of the paperwork so we didn't have to worry about it wedding day. She honestly fit in so well with our family and friends that night. Taylor and I were so nervous to read our personal vows, but Kris does everything to make you feel comfortable. She reads your vows before the wedding day and has tissues up at the altar just in case. I read the ceremony a million times before the wedding day, and on the wedding day I was still speechless hearing it. It was honestly the most beautiful wedding ceremony I have ever heard (I could be biased, but even my guests said so)! Kris is the perfect officiant for anyone. She is so talented and can create a beautiful ceremony for any occasion. I promise you will not be disappointed!

Kris, you had me at FaceTime! When I look back on our wedding planning process, a few decisions really stand out in the best possible way. Kris Bruno is, hands down, one of those decisions. If you want your ceremony to bring you to tears.. of ...
pure happiness that is..then book her immediately! You will not be disappointed! Our first "meeting" was, in fact, over Facetime. And, although we had met with another officiant prior, and had one more set up after, we knew we didn't have to look any further. We had found "the one". The role of your officiant is a crucial one. They can make or break the start of your marriage journey, and when Kris spent over an hour with us on the phone, I knew we made the right decision. She just got us. She was genuine, and fully invested. Somehow, she manages to prepare a ceremony that is truly "you". It is not cookie cutter, it is not like every other, and you are not "just another client". You are her priority, and you feel that way too. I remember choosing Kris because of all the questions she asked. She asks you about yourself, your relationship, asks for stories, and really listens to what's important to you. It sounds silly, but no one else did that. Others rushed us, gave us sample ceremonies to choose from, and didn't ask a single question. Instead, i remember one telling me "I'm top rated on the knot so if you don't book with me right now then you prob wont get me". We left that meting laughing at the audacity. What was important to us was not who was "top rated" but who got us, and would do our love story justice. The first draft Kris gave us, moved us both to tears. It once again confirmed what we already knew...we picked the right officiant. The words written were so us, described our love perfectly, and really had us relive why we wanted to get married. Thank you for being there on our special day and for all the hard work you put in along the way. xoxox

her at a nearby cafe for a consultation. She got to know us as a couple and then wrote the most beautiful ceremony script for us to review! She was always responsive to our emails with questions or quick edits and sent us reminders and thorough instructions about how to apply for our marriage license (one less thing to worry about)! On the day of the wedding, Kris arrived an hour ahead of time to go over some last minute details and then officiated the beautiful ceremony she wrote for us. Her genuine passion for celebrating love was evident and many of our guests commended her and asked how we found such an amazing officiant. We’ll wrap it up since we could go on and on about how happy we were with Kris’s services. In summary, we 1000% recommend Kris without a hint of reservation!

She was amazing throughout the entire process making sure that our ceremony fit to what our needs were, making suggestions, changes and constantly following up. When our rehearsal had to be at a dinner venue she met us there to make sure everyone knew what they had to do! Even showed up 1.5 hour early to make sure everyone was in their places and the music was all set up for the actual ceremony. Rev. Kris loves her job and you can honestly tell. I couldn't of asked for a better person to be apart of the biggest part of our day. We felt our ceremony fit us perfectly and was everything we could of asked for. Thank you so much!!!

and genuine care for making this a special happy occasion for us. For the initial meeting, our schedules made it difficult to meet in person so Kris happily arranged a Skype call to discuss the ceremony. We met many people throughout our planning process, and we can honestly say that Kris gave us the best experience of all of them. She took the time to ask us about our story and what we wanted in our ceremony, and we really felt like we “clicked” immediately with her. Kris had excellent suggestions for wording and rituals within the ceremony that really helped us make our decisions. We didn’t even need to talk about it afterwards, we were both in agreement to retain her services within the consult call! After that, Kris quickly drafted her ceremony script and provided us with a copy so we could make sure everything was perfect. Her script was beautiful, and we teared up while reading it because she captured the story of our relationship so wonderfully. The day of the wedding, Kris arrived and was such a calming presence in such a hectic atmosphere. The ceremony went exactly as we discussed, and my wife and I couldn’t have been any happier with how it turned out. Every guest we talked to raved about how amazing Kris was and how it was the best ceremony they had ever been to. We are very particular people and there were certainly aspects of the day that did not go exactly as we hoped, but the ceremony was most certainly not one of them. We would recommend Kris to anyone!

people who truly encompasses understanding, compassion and professionalism. Her ideas for our ceremony were creative and personalized for us, as though she had known us for years.

Many our guest came up and told us how uniquely different our wedding ceremony was.

Not a ceremony done ny Rev. Kris. Several months before our wedding she sent us a draft of our ceremony. I cried because it was perfect. There was some changes to the ceremony leading up to our wedding date, but Rev. Kris was always accepting and welcoming of those changes. She arrived early to our venue, to be on time. Everyone loved the ceremony and raved about her. It was like having your best friend marrying you because she takes the time to know you as a couple and understand your love story. Even better part is Rev. Kris files your marriage license as part of your services. She explains everything to you and how to go about obtaining it. Rev.

Kris was wonderful. My husband and I were concerned about having an officiant. He was not convinced that it was worth the cost (he wanted a friend to do it), and I was concerned about how our secular wedding would be perceived by our Jewish and...

Kris had wonderful ideas for our ceremony that added spirituality to our day, without invoking a particular religion. Our ceremony had joy, love, seriousness, and humor. In addition, our parents were impressed by her overall warmth and professionalism. After talking to us for less than 2 hours, Kris managed to create a beautiful and intimate ceremony. We were so happy!!

Rev. Kris Bruno became our choice shortly after meeting with her. Rev. Kris’ level of professionalism from start to finish is a rarity and my wife and I couldn’t have been happier with our choice! When we first met with Rev. Kris, she began to...
ask us questions about how we met, what our interests were, where our beliefs lie, and how we liked to spend time with one another. Right after, she briefly went over some ideas regarding what she might say during the ceremony and it brought my now wife to tears. We knew at that moment that she was the one that we wanted to have officiate our wedding. Prior to the wedding, Rev. Kris wrote a beautiful ceremony that was both unique and meaningful to us as a couple. She was very thoughtful in that she made sure that members of our family with different backgrounds and beliefs felt welcome. Additionally, she was more than accommodating and willing to work with us with any changes that needed to be made due to family drama. As the wedding approached, Rev. Kris was incredibly helpful in informing us about all of the requirements for obtaining a license, and answering any questions that we had about the process. Fast forward to the day of our wedding, Rev. Kris really shined. It started pouring and our backup plan forced us to relocate under an overhang, which unfortunately still resulted in Rev. Kris getting rained on, but she didn’t miss a beat. After the ceremony, many of the guests came up to us and commented on how beautiful the ceremony was and how moved they were by the vows that she had written for us. We can’t thank Rev. Kris enough for making our wedding day so special. We highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an officiant!

Kris was amazing to work with. From the moment we met her we felt strongly that we would ask her to officiate our wedding. We met with other officiants and found that we kept comparing them to her. We met her only once and from that meeting ...
and a couple of other emails she was able to completely encapsulate who we are individually and as a couple. She is very communicative and easily accessible by email and text. Her voice is calm and soothing and for someone like me who is easily affected by large crowds and loud noises it was important to find someone with those characteristics. We received a version of our ceremony within a couple of months of signing a contract and she was willing to make any changes that we requested. We started out with three different rituals; roses and recognition for our mothers, the unity candle, and hand fasting. After reading through the ceremony and talking with our families we decided to take out two of the rituals and just incorporate the hand fasting because the words and the symbolism had more meaning to me and my husband. Kris was completely fine with taking out these rituals and also made several suggestions for readings that once again captured the essence of who we are together and individually. She is sincere and genuine and you just feel like you have known her forever. We received compliments all evening from our family and friends on how beautiful the ceremony was and people could not believe that she was able to glean all that she did about us with one meeting and email correspondence. It is very true that the ceremony sets the tone for the rest of the wedding and she created an atmosphere of love and affection that lasted all night long. We could not have asked for anything more and we appreciate how special she made us both feel throughout the entire planning process and on our wedding day.
