My husband and I have nothing but great things to say about Cantor Nesis who served as the interfaith officiant for our wedding. We found her through a friend of my husband's family who attended her temple and raved about her voice. They also knew that we were looking for an interfaith officiant who could conduct a service in Hebrew, English, and Spanish. Cantor Nesis hit all of those points and she was incredibly amazing to work with. We had three different sessions with her where we covered different things from: the ketubah signing ceremony, the ceremony duration / topics, day-of logistics, etc. Cantor Nesis always took her time to explain things at length to make sure that we understood and were comfortable with everything. She also came up with the brilliant idea of having us write our vows to each other in questions format, providing them to her before the wedding day, and she incorporated them into the service. This helped take the the pressure off us to memorize stuff on an already stressed-filled day. Everything ran beautifully the day-of. It also helps that Cantor Nesis has an amazing calming affect on those around her -- especially me! The ketubah and wedding ceremony ran perfectly and we received so many compliments during the cocktail hour (and to date!) on her singing voice, the incorporation of 3 different languages and cultures into the service, and the uniqueness of the wedding vows. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Cantor Nesis as your wedding officiant and just know that she is a very trusted, and reliable resource. I'm so happy that she was part of our wedding and she made the day that much more special to us!

Simply put, Cantor Nesis is amazing. In March of 2012, Cantor Nesis performed a personalized wedding ceremony for us, in English and Spanish (and Hebrew), that we continue to get compliments about from family and friends. Cantor Nesis took the time to get to know my wife and me, and even met with my in-laws before the wedding to explain the Jewish wedding traditions, since they were not familiar with the customs. She has a beautiful voice and is one of the kindest people you will meet. We highly recommend Cantor Nesis; she will make your celebration unforgettable.

FAQs

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Jewish lifecycle events should be memorable moments. Make sure to express your ideas on what you want for that day. The Officiant should be able to incorporate those elements in a harmonic way, while offering suggestions and guidance.
