Jewish and Interfaith Weddings

Philosophy, Services, Thoughts and Promises...

I work with couples to plan a beautiful, spiritual, and personalized ceremony which makes everyone feel welcomed and comfortable, honors the religious traditions of both families, and reflects your tastes and preferences.

I provide a lovely chuppah, or wedding canopy, free of charge. It consists of a red canopy trimmed in gold, and poles which extend up to 12 feet.

I am happy to travel to officiate at your wedding.

I meet with couples at least twice, to tailor a ceremony to their needs and desires and to get to know them. I always write a personal paragraph to each couple.

I specialize in interfaith and co-officiated weddings, having performed ceremonies with Catholic and Protestant clergy.

I am happy to marry same-sex couples.

I believe religion should exist for people. People should not exist for the institution of religion. Religion should be welcoming to all people. It should not be in the business of pushing people away. We are all God's children.
