About
I am a contemporary officiant with an open mind. I truly believe that you need to be who you are and be free to love who you want.
Your wedding should set that tone.
My journey to becoming a wedding officiant is a long, wonderful, personal story. (You can check at www.BlessingsByBeth.com.) The short version is that I have combined my vocal talent, my formal education, and retail experience with my passion for indelible wedding ceremonies. (My credentials include formal study in Communication, Jewish Education, Sacred Music, and Elementary Education)
Ever since my own interfaith wedding (by a judge), I've become even more sympathetic to couples who want to design their own, personal, non-religious but meaningful ceremonies with a touch of tradition. There is nothing more fulfilling to me than a delighted and relaxed bridal couple.
Here's what I do: I respond ASAP to your inquiry about my services. My pricing includes 2-3 one hour consultations, constant communication until your wedding day, crafting your ceremony, travel, performing your ceremony, and filing the requisite documents. The consultations/counseling sessions start with , "Why are you getting married?" . Then we talk through what you want (and DON'T WANT) to happen at your ceremony so that I can create exactly what you are hoping for!
Once hired, my one time fee makes me available to you anytime you need me. I've traveled as close as my home base in Morristown, NJ to San Juan, Puerto Rico for a destination wedding (ok, that was a little extra!) I'll go anywhere. Also, I am adept at handing parents and kids involved in the process. I make sure that everyone involved feels validated, respected, and honored. That said, at the end of the day, the only two people that matter is YOU and your ceremony sets the tone for your long, happy marriage.
You should also know that our relationship continues throughout life's journey, so if you ever need an officiant for another life cycle event, I am here for you.
The "Contact us" on the website is Under Construction, so please reach out to me directly through Wedding Wire or at BlessingsByBeth3@gmail.com.

Reviews of Blessings By Beth
Best Wedding Officiant
Our favorite vendor we worked with!
We wanted our ceremony to have traditional Jewish elements, while still remaining authentic to us and our relationship. Signing the Ketubah, circling one another, and the other traditional aspects were meaningful moments, and Beth thoughtfully explained them to the guests unfamiliar with Jewish traditions. She also incorporated what she learned about us to discuss how we bring out the best in one another, and reading our vows to each other was so special.
Our friends and families loved the ceremony and were so enthusiastic about Beth! They loved her humor, thoughtfulness, beautiful singing voice, and that the ceremony was so personal and emotional. We are truly thankful that we had the opportunity to be married by someone so passionate about bringing two people together, and she helped create memories that will last forever.
Thank you Beth, for everything. Our absolute favorite part of the entire wedding day was the ceremony and we have you to thank!
Beth was amazing
Before the big event she took the time to go over all of our options and met with us a few time to discuss what we wanted from our ceremony. We went for a traditional Jewish ceremony and included our grown children. She worked with us to incorporate modern Jewish traditions.. as it seems some things have changed slightly in 30 years. She gave us all of our options and carefully planned a ceremony that was absolutely perfect. It was everything we wanted. She is an amazing cantor and our friends were so touch by her singing, her enthusiasm, her wit and humor and her explanation of the traditional ceremony. It was a memorable night and we thank her.
Unforgettable Jew"ish" Wedding
Creator of Your Perfect Ceremony
As an interfaith family, we weren’t equally aware of what to expect. My husband’s side was very familiar with Jewish wedding traditions. My own parents had attended some Jewish weddings but didn’t have a great understanding of what everything meant. Beth made a conscious effort to sit down privately with my parents and sister to walk them through the ceremony, explain what everything meant, and answer the 5,000 questions my mom had. The extra effort she made to make everyone feel comfortable was so appreciated.
I absolutely love how open Beth was to customizing everything to make it really fit with who we are and the relationship that my husband and I have built. Our ceremony felt very modern, but still honored the Jewish faith. We were treated as equals and encouraged to push for what we felt was appropriate for our beliefs.
You should contact Beth literally right now. She’s the best. Seriously, several of our bridesmaids and groomsmen who had already planned weddings for the same year told us after ours that they wished they had been able to work with Beth, because she was so much fun and made the day even brighter. Beth, thank you for everything! <3 <3
