Janine was an amazing officiant!! She was interested, intelligent, responsive, and helpful in assisting us design our custom wedding ceremony. My husband and I come from different cultural backgrounds and Dr. Burns was extremely knowledgable about various aspects to make our ceremony unique, informative, and a great expression of our marriage. Friends and family complimented her to us immediately after the ceremony saying that she was the most articulate officiant they'd ever seen. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly loves and cares about what she does. If I could you 10 stars I would, Janine!

Dr. Burns is an outstanding officiant. She did not simply marry us. Rather she provided great council and tips from the day we met her up through our wedding day. Guests at our wedding told us that they never saw a more touching ceremony and some even said that her words brought tears of joy to their eyes. The ceremony she created was unique and used ceremonies within the ceremony which involved the lighting of candles, pouring of sand, exchaning of roses and breaking of a glass. She did not exit immediately after the ceremony but rather stayed to converse with us, family and friends. She genuinely cared about us and making our ceremony memorable. We cannot find enough words to give Chaplain Burns the praise she deserves. She REALLY does love to do weddings ! Thank you Janine for creating lasting memories for us. Love, Vincent and Russell

Dr. Janine is absolutely AMAZING!!! I was supposed to have my wedding on the day we got over 30 inches of snow. Days prior she called me to check in and really gave me such positive energy to be positive and was so comforting. She knew I was anxious about the impending storm. Well...30 inches came on our wedding day and my reception was postponed. However, without hesitation Janine jumped at the chance to officiate our ceremony in our home with our immediate family and our children (it was a second marriage). She turned an extremely stressful day into an amazing, memorable day that our family will never forget! There are no words strong enough to describe the warmth, enthusiasm and positive energy Janine brought into our home on that day of the blizzard. She was wonderful with my children and I get tears in my eyes thinking about the sincere devotion to making others happy that is so natural to Janine. I will forever be grateful to her for making this even more special than we could have ever imagined!

Dr. Janine H. Burns did an excellent job on our wedding. We planned our wedding remotely and we did all the conference with Dr. Burns via Skype. Anytime we had questions or considers, she promptly responded us with detailed answer. On the day of the wedding, beside providing excellent service as an officiant, she was able to work with wedding venues to make necessary adjustment that made a smooth ceremony. Highly recommended to all my single friends.

Doc Janine was great!! From the moment we met her, she made us feel comfortable and at ease. She did a great job coming up with an original ceremony for us; we have had countless comments from wedding guests saying how they had never seen a ceremony like ours before and how lovely it was!!

Dr Burns Phil and I want to thank you for conducting our beautiful ceremony. Everyone loved that it was different. We got a lot of compliments on the wine box ceremony and the Thai ceremony. We were so happy that everyone participated in the rod nam sung. We hope that you enjoyed yourself as well. Thank you very much for making our day so memorable.

Janine Burns was a great officiant. She was helpful during the planning process and most importantly, kept us calm on the day of our wedding. You don't often hear guests say that your "officiant" stood out or was fantastic, but we heard all of those positive comments and more.

Dr. Janine Burns was amazing to work with! I highly recommend her to everyone getting married.When my husband & I decided we wanted to get married at our wedding venue I decided to google long island wedding officiant & she appeared on the google search. I contacted her & she set an appointment to meet my husband & I. We immediately felt a connection to her. She was very kind, warm & funny! We knew that our guest would love her! We booked her services immediately. She provided us with plenty of information & we were able to structure our ceremony exactly how we wanted. My husband has a 4yr old daughter & Dr. Burns incorporated her into our ceremony (which was a hit). She suggested we do a sand ceremony to make her feel special. The 3 of us mixed different colored sand into a vase. My stepdaughter absolutely LOVED it and it made her feel very special. Dr. Burns is very efficient and was always available for me if I had any questions. I received many compliments from my guest about how professional and well spoken Dr. Burns was. You will not regret booking her services!!

Dr. Burns provided a most professional and customized ceremony which included both a renewal of vows in addition to a remarrying in order for my wife to legally modify her married name by shortening it. The way in which Dr. Burns reformatted our marital history up to and including the June 23, 2012 ceremoney was outstanding. All of our relatives and friends were overwhelmed with the way in which this personalized ceremony made it such a very special and intimate celebration of a birthday and wedding surprise.

Dr. Burns was kind, compassionate and extremely helpful when it came to things we had not thought of. She was considerate of our non-traditional requests and gave us her advice without it being pushed on us. We are extremely happy with the choice we made.

We cannot sing the praises of Dr. Burns enough! From initial contact right up until after the ceremony, she made every step simple and was respectful of our wishes. She was organized and efficient and the ceremony was touching...the small nuances that she added or suggested to us made our ceremony just that - OURS. I would recommend her without hesitation! We still receive compliments about the ceremony! If we renew our vows in the future - we will look for her to perform the ceremony again!

My husband and I are so happy we had Dr. Burns as our officient. She was warm and pleasant and made the ceremony a success. It was a second marriage for my husband who has 2 small children, from his first marriage. Dr. Burns integrated the children into the ceremony, which was very important for us, since we wanted to celebrate not just our union as a couple, but we wanted to celebrate that now we were all family. The children enjoyed the family sand ceremony, so much we did it again with the left over sand at home!! They enjoyed the gift ceremony and their participation in the wedding vows stoled everyone's heart. Dr, Burns made them feel confortable and we genuinely thank her for all her help. She is not an akward, weird, person. I was worried, that we were going to get someone creepy, but instead we were pleasantly surprise with a wonderful person, who made our special day, even more special.

Dr. Janine Burns is by far the most professional, sweetest and caring person! She helped make our wedding day go so smoothly for us. She handled everything for us prior to ceremony that of course we just didnt have time to do. From laying out the rose pedals to helping set up some cocktail tables and keeping everyone on time and in the loop. She was a officiant and a wedding planner all in one! And you could see she LOVED doing it! Her heart was in it the whole time!

Dr. Janine Burns was a wonderful asset to our wedding- She was highly professional & her easy going & calming demeanor was a huge comfort. On the day of our wedding 9/23/11 she not only performed her duties as a stellar officiant but also provided my groom & his groomsmen some last minute tie adjustments that were much needed! She also took time out of her day after the ceremony to bustle my dress which me plus 3 bridesmaids couldn't figure out. Dr. Janine is a pro, & she will make you feel comfortable & at ease on the day of & leading up to your big day. We also received an abnormal amount of compliments on her service. Thank you Dr. Janine!!

Dr. Burns performed our ceremony on 9/16/11 and did a wonderful job. We received very positive feedback from our family and friends on how heartfelt the ceremony was. She was also very responsive and helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. She also conducted our wedding ceremony rehearsal which we found to be very helpful given the size of our wedding party. Our ceremony ran smoothly and without any glitches. We are very pleased we chose Dr. Burns to perform our wedding ceremony!

We had a fantastic time working with Dr. Janine Burns. She was easy to communicate with and very enthusiastic about our wedding. She answered every email and call that I had. We met with her on different occasions to plan out the processional and ceremony of our dreams. She informed us about things we did not know we could have like ‘Sand Ceremony’ which was perfect for our beach ceremony and the candle that we lite for our loved ones that passed away. Her suggestions were perfect. She did and said everything we planned and had asked of her. She even went beyond our expectations: One evening my husband and I showed up to our meeting with Janine arguing over whether or not to have a videographer. I wanted a video and he thought it was a waste of money. He pointed out that the video we paid $100 for of us swimming with dolphins, we only watched once. At last, I agreed that we were not going to have one. Janine then offered us her video camera to use. The kind gesture meant a lot to us. During the ceremony she helped out in a wedding planner sort-of-way, for I did not have one. We had some laughs during the ceremony for my husbands sand got stuck in his container, so he picked up sand from the beach and put it into our container. She can roll with the unexpected for sure :) She was just wonderful , helpful, full of knowledge for wedding ceremonies. The best was when she made sure I held my bouquet right for the pictures. She was perfect!

"I just wanted to take the time to thank you for our beautiful wedding ceremony. So many of our guests mentioned what a beautiful ceremony it was. Spending the time we did at your home, speaking with us and kids, made a real difference. The sand ceremony was special. You were right, it was a nice way to incorporate the children. The sand jay is proudly displayed in our home. We all enjoyed doing it! I like your style: professional, graceful, sincere, I felt at ease. I also want to thank you for inspiring Kaitlyn to write her speech and for giving her the support to read it. It was quite a moment I will never forget. Sincerely, Eileen. This was our personal thank you note to Janine after our wedding.

Dr. Burns was a pleasure to work with. She helped us to customize our wedding ceremony and it was absolutely beautiful. All of our guests keep talking about our ceremony and it reminds us just how special it truly was. Dr. Burns helped us achieve our dream and made this the most memorable day of our lives. She was very easy to work with and was able to help us pick passages and write vows giving us constructive criticism when necessary. She was always available to provide wisdom and guidance whether it be in person, on the phone, or via email. I highly recommend Dr. Burns for your wedding ceremony.

Janine was great!!! She really did an incredible service. The night before at 10 pm ( our wedding was the next day at 11 am) she called me up, she had gotten into a car accident, she wasn't sure she was going to make it but had a back up person just incase. She ended up making it, even through some of her pain- it was really thoughtful for her to do that!!! We are so glad because our ceremony came out beautiful!! Thank you Janine!!!

My husband and I feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Janine Burns to officiate at our June 2011 wedding on Long Island. My husband and I were interested in personalizing our wedding ceremony. Dr. Burns worked with us over several meetings (via Skype, as we live out of state) to develop a ceremony that was unique and very meaningful to us. Dr. Burns had a lot of great "technical" advice, too, for the ceremony and reception (e.g. ceremony length, how to actually exchange the rings, writing the program). Dr. Burns is friendly, thoughtful, and extremely professional. The day of the wedding, she put everyone in the wedding party at ease by making sure everyone knew where to go and what to do. We were really glad that we were able to meet with Dr. Burns several times before the ceremony -- this way, we got to know her, and she got to know us. We recommend Dr. Janine Burns very highly!

Dr. Burns was referred to me by my now mother-in-law'she raved of how good she was in another wedding she had attended. When we sat and met prior to the wedding she meet my son, who demanded green sand for the sand ceremony. She made my ceremony pleasurable and easily put my son at ease even as he asked for his green sand. She worked great with my children and well as give me wonderful advice in order to ensure we had a marriage full of love and growth. I have to say she was more than great and I am short of words to even begin to tell and explain how marvelous she is.

When you are going crazy with your "to do" list, calling this person, arranging things, flowers, photos, wedding favors, seating charts ( you know what I mean) , it is really nice to deal with someone who is a calming influence like Reverend Burns. She is well organized and professional so that already is a relief and one less thing to worry about. She aslo provides serivce beyond just officiating and getting all the details down. I was a very nervous bride and found many of her suggestions to be helpful, in terms of calming my psyche. She even helped me with the birdcage veil that I did not know how to put on. I highly recommend Reverend Burns.

Dr. Burns encouraged my husband and I to do a sand ceremony with our family following our vows when we told her that we were getting re-married and our eldest son would give me away during leave from the Navy, our second son would serve as Best Man, our daughter was appointed Maid-of-Honor; our future daughter-in-law was our Bridesmaid. Neither of us had had a wedding before and Dr. Burns was able to give us the exact amount of assistance we needed to take care of important details, while suggesting and then executing ways to make our marriage special. Dr. Burns was an integral part of making our wedding magical and meaningful. She is very good at what she loves to do!

Dr. Burns made our wedding absolutely perfect and it was exactly what we wanted. All of our guests are still complimenting that our ceremony was modern, unique and refreshing. We were very pleased with her guidance and ability to help us express what we wanted to share on our special day. At the suggestions of Dr. Burns we including our daughters in our wedding with the Sand Ceremony which was a very special and memorable part of how we united our new family that day. Dr. Burns professionalism and sincerity made us feel as if she was part of the family and put us at ease. We highly recommend her services.

We were referred to Dr. Burns by a friend after we had trouble with the church we were originally booked with. Dr. Burns was incredibly understanding and created the exact ceremony we both were hoping for. Our guests had wonderful things to say afterwards about how touching and personal the service was. We went from feeling hopeless and disappointed to relaxed and confident with our decision. I would recommend Dr. Burns to everyone!

Janine Burns presented our ceremony in a very beautiful manor, it seemed like she was a part of our wedding not an officiant. From the moment the bride arrived Janine handled everything. She made the whole family ceremony feel so comfortable and natural, the guests remarked over and over how beautiful Janine made the joining of our families. We are forever greatful and will long remember how very special she made our day!

Dr. Burns did a great job with our ceremony. She had only met us twice but it sounded as though she knew us for years. She took the time to ask about us and truly wanted to understand us as a couple. Our microphones went out during the ceremony, making it difficult to hear but Dr. Burns did a great job overcomming the difficulty.

My husband and I got married July 16, 2010. First wedding for both of us. I was catholic, he was Jewish. Finding Dr. Burns; an interfaith chaplain was wonderful! She made our entire wedding process a breeze and I never once had a worry about how it would turn out to be. She was available to meet with whatever concern my husband and I had. She is upbeat, happy and such a ray of sunshine. She offered a rose ceremony, and since my husband did not want the unity candle, the rose ceremony was just as beautiful, if not better. My ceremony was beautiful and I will forever remember it because of the patience and dedication Dr. Burns had for our wedding. She is by far the best.

Janine is awesome. She met with us a few times beforehand and it was so comfortable and relaxing to talk to her. She was very honest and helpful with her suggestions, a good listener, answered all of our questions and was flexible with any changes we wanted to make to the ceremony. She takes care of every detail of the wedding and even gave us advice on the reception and honeymoon. We got compliments from all of our guests on how touching and heartfelt the ceremony was and we owe it all to Janine. Thank you!

Dr. Burns saved us on our wedding day when my husband forgot the rings at the altar! No one even knew they were missing (including members of the bridal party who were standing within feet of us) thanks to her quick thinking and calm composure. She even found a way to get the keys to the car where he had left them and she brought them to the bridal suite after the ceremony where she blessed them for us. Thanks to her, this mistake is just a funny anecdote that we can laugh about instead of a disaster that ruined the ceremony. Dr. Burns is easy-going and always makes herself available if you have any questions or concerns. She is very flexible and offered us a number of options as we designed the ceremony. I would definitely recommend her if you are seeking an officiant. Thanks Dr. Burns!

My wife and I married just over a month ago at Coindre Hall in Huntington NY, and we feel like we were the luckiest wedding couple in the world to have found Janine Burns. Not only did we enjoyed the ceremony, but our guests did too: during the wedding and the days following the wedding we received many, many compliments on the ceremony from our guests. They loved the spirituality and honesty. My wife and I really enjoyed working with Janine. She really made it easy to create a wedding service that was true to who we are, and she has such great energy. Our only regret is that we can't do it all again!

Janine was an amazing officiant. We were both married before and each have children from our previous marriages. We wanted a ceremony that both described how we felt about our commitment to each other, but more importantly about how the children could be included as part of the ceremony. She had several suggestions, but we went with the "hand ceremony" where we all joined hands and we all made a commitment to be together as a family. The wording for this part of the ceremony was so touching and beautiful, in addition to the beautiful outdoor beachy venue that we had, people talked about it for weeks after our wedding. Janine is awesome!!! Rich and Bonnie Gustafson
