She is amazing!

We had to bridge two different cultures, religions, and nationalities. Miss Irene far exceeded anything that we could have hoped for. She helped us Zoom our wedding to our families out of state . Even when the dogs got into the ceremony by accident, she just took it in stride. The bilingual service was very attentive, meaningful, and on point. The reading from Victor Hugo completely exemplified the way my husband and I feel about each other. We had several conversations along the way so we both knew what was going on during the pandemic. She offered to do our wedding by Zoom if she could not be there in person. Our family was thrilled and electrified by her ceremony, knowledge, compassion, and graciousness. My only regret is we can only give her 5 stars because she clearly deserves the sky full of stars! Thank you Miss Irene for this wonderful service and a life long blessing!

Magical ceremony!

It was a pleasure to meet Irene and have her as our wedding officiant. She was really interested in knowing about us before the wedding day and to know what kind of ceremony we want. She proposed different options of rituals that made our day very special. She also sang for us!! It was very emotional and magical. Very professional and very good person. We definitely recommend her.

Fantastic Cantor!!!!!

Irene is extremely helpful and knowledgeable about interfaith ceremonies. She guided us through the wedding planning process from start to finish and did a beautiful job officiating the ceremony. She was able to coordinate with the priest very effectively so that our ceremony was meaningful for all involved. And to top it all off, she has a beautiful voice!!!!!
