The Perfect Piece for our Wedding

Lissin created the most beautiful, personal, and heartwarming ceremony for us! The moment we got in contact with her and felt her energy, we knew she was the one. We can't say enough good things about her services. Lissin does so much more than just officiate. She teaches, she offers emotional support, she guides her couples on a journey through the engagement process and makes them feel special. Thank you Lissin for all that you did to make our day so incredible!

We recommend Lissin very highly to anyone looking for a wedding officiant/celebrant who is thoughtful, kind, and very skilled at crafting and leading a meaningful, personal ceremony! My partner and I are queer, and we were excited to create a wedding ritual to affirm our commitment to each other and incorporate traditions from both of our heritages. My partner is a Jewish atheist, and I have an Anglo Protestant background but am not religious. We had some general ideas about elements we wanted in a ceremony, including the seven blessings from Jewish wedding traditions, and a handfasting ceremony connected to my Celtic roots. We knew we didn't want language about god. It was important to us to work someone who could craft a ceremony that would center our deep love for each other and the commitment we're making, and also hold the complexity of our political feelings about marriage as a state-sponsored institution.

From the start, we felt like Lissin was listening closely to us, and that she understood where we were coming from. She asked thoughtful questions, shared about herself, and really took the time to get to know us. The ceremony she crafted was grounded, joyful, romantic and fun! She also lead our rehearsal with a great combination of ease and directiveness. Our friends and family said that our ceremony allowed them to get to know us in a more intimate way through the stories that Lissin shared about us. Several folks said they thought she must be an old friend of ours that they'd just never met! We are so thankful for the experience of working with Lissin, and recommend her wholeheartedly.

We could not have asked for a better officiant to marry us. Lissin was perfect for our spontaneous wedding in Pacifica (spontaneous = 4 days’ warning!). Despite the spontaneity, Lissin took the time to understand our desires and wishes and on the day, everything she said and did was exactly what we wanted + more. We could not recommend her more. Thank you so much Lissin, you’re the best.

Definitely our advice would be to book Lissin. What a wonderful woman. We had confidence in her from start to finish and were amazed at just how thoughtful and considerate she was and how well she interpreted our wishes for the ceremony, especially as we were organising our wedding from another continent. She is creative, professional and she listens. It was a pleasure to have her as our wedding officiant and we would highly recommend her

Our fabulous wedding officiant, Lissin Lev Chaya choreographed a beautiful tailor-made ceremony at the WaterBar in San Francisco on January 9th, 2016. We live oversees and when first choosing a wedding officiant it was vital to have someone who could relay our message for the ceremony. Lissin, sent us drafts of the proposed ceremony which she really got to know everything possible about us for the special day. When I first read the draft, I wasn't sure how I was going to keep my composure but she made us feel at ease throughout the ceremony. It was also heartfelt, beautiful, emotional, uplifting and very personal. If you are thinking of a wedding officiant, look no further, we highly recommend Lissin Lev Chaya!

Lissin was fantastic! Ours was a non-traditional, secular wedding and we were looking for someone who can understand our personal values, understands us as people and create vows that resonate with how we felt about each other and the wedding in general. Lissin was a perfect fit! We could not have done better!

Lissin was absolutely fantastic. She really helped us develop a very personal ceremony that was exactly what my wife and I wanted. Everyone was deeply moved by the ceremony, and it's hard to imagine that it could have been any better. Lissin was professional and responsive; she Skyped us early in the process to discuss and develop ideas, and kept in touch over the next few weeks as we honed the ceremony, and we then met in person to go over the final details. I highly recommend Lissin if you want a meaningful, very personal ceremony for your big day that will last a lifetime in your memories.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
