Everything was perfect!

Rabbi Winer is kind, methodical, and charismatic. In the meetings we had leading up to the wedding he served as our trusted advisor and guide through the marriage process. He helped us customize our ceremony so it felt most like us while still representing traditional reform wedding customs. He was encouraging and supportive when it came to us writing our vows, and in the end our ceremony was absolutely perfect. His wife was our Kantor and she had a beautiful voice. Rabbi Winer was able to get to know us well in a short time and it really showed in his sermon. There was not a single dry eye in the room or on zoom. We are so lucky to have found both him and his wife for our wedding. If you want a wedding ceremony filled with love and laughter and beautiful harmony look no further than Rabbi Winer.

Excellent Rabbi, 10 Stars

I cannot express enough how grateful my spouse and I are to have had Rabbi Winer officiate our interfaith wedding. From the beginning, Rabbi Winer was an absolute pleasure to work with, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. His warm demeanor, professionalism, and genuine care for our special day truly made a lasting impression on us. Rabbi Winer took the time to understand our story, values, and what we envisioned for our ceremony. He seamlessly incorporated our personal touches and preferences, resulting in a ceremony that felt uniquely ours. His guidance and support throughout the planning process were invaluable, making us feel confident and at ease as we prepared for our big day.

We feel incredibly lucky to have had him and his talented wife Lori as a part of our wedding and we wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone looking for a meaningful, personalized, and unforgettable ceremony.
