Highly recommend Rabbi Michael Mayersohn

We were very glad to have Rabbi Michael officiate at our wedding. Our guests appreciated his uplifting and positive message. He kept things simple and streamlined, and was also open to having another speaker read scripture, as we are an interfaith couple. Rabbi Michael met with use a few weeks before the wedding to learn more about us, and he incorporated those elements into the ceremony. It was a great night!

Incredible!

My wife and I were concerned about finding a Rabbi to perform an interfaith marriage. However, those concerns quickly fled once we spoke with Rabbi Mayersohn. It is amazing how someone we had never met before was immediately so personable and felt like a Rabbi we had both known for years. His professionalism is unmatched, and his availability and eagerness to make the process as easy as possible was outstanding. The ceremony went smoothly, and his words of wisdom were well received by the entire crowd. Rabbi Mayersohn will always be our number one recommendation.

Wonderful Experience

My wife and I had a multi-cultural wedding (Jewish/Chinese) where we were looking for a wedding officiant who could incorporate some the traditions of a Jewish wedding ceremony while remaining sensitive to the multi-cultural audience. After meeting with several candidates, we found Rabbi Michael and he was exactly the right person for us.

In addition to walking us through the ceremony to make sure that we were comfortable with all aspects of the event, Rabbi Michael took the time to get to know is in order to personalize the ceremony for us as well as our family and friends. The event went flawlessly. Rabbi Michael was able to incorporate Jewish traditions into the ceremony while making them accessible for the non-Jewish wedding attendees and participants. After the event, a number of my family members went out of their way to compliment what a wonderful job that Rabbi Michael did. We would recommend Rabbi Michael for any couple, particularly if you are a planning a multi-cultural wedding.

Highly Recommend Rabbi Michael!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Rabbi Michael! He was so easy to work with, incredibly responsive, funny, and personable, and made our ceremony magical and memorable! We also had an interfaith ceremony, and he reviewed all of the traditions during our pre-meetings so we were able to make the ceremony feel like us. He was also very helpful in reviewing and choosing our Ketubah text. Our guests were raving about how much they enjoyed his service, and we felt the same. We would highly recommend Rabbi Michael :)

A special and personalized Jewish ceremony

We had a wonderful experience with Rabbi Michael. He was responsive with all our questions leading up to the wedding and was informative and thorough when planning our ceremony. It was very personalized to us and still keeping with Jewish tradition and custom.
Our guests loved his humor! We are truly grateful to him for officiating our ceremony!

Rabbi Michael was the best decision we made!

Rabbi Michael was absolutely PHENOMENAL! He not only performed a ceremony for us that included everything we wanted (i.e. less than 20min, included Jewish traditions, etc) but we also received so many compliments about how funny, enjoyable, and efficient he made our ceremony. In addition, he met with us 3-4x, was extremely responsive over email, and diligent in answering our questions. My partner and I were looking for a reform rabbi and were nervous about searching online. I come from an intersectional background and was nervous that a typical rabbi would judge us. However, Rabbi Michael was so warm, friendly, and made us feel extremely comfortable. He actively took the time to get to know us, explain/review traditions to us, and tailored our ceremony exactly to what we wanted. He also helped us find our ketubah and led one of the most memorable moments of our day where we joined with our families to sign it. I can't express enough how highly we recommend Rabbi Michael and how grateful we are to him. If you are looking for a Rabbi of any sorts, definitely reach out to him - he will not disappoint and exceeded our expectations!

Wonderful Ceremony

We had a wonderful experience with Rabbi Michael for our interfaith wedding. He did a lovely job on the ceremony and it was short but meaningful. He did a great job explaining the Jewish customs to our non-Jewish guests who had never attended a Jewish wedding. He spent time with us before the wedding and made the ceremony customized to our relationship. Our family and friends loved the rabbi and the ceremony. I would recommend Rabbi Michael to anyone looking for a rabbi. Hiring Rabbi Michael was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Highly Recommend Rabbi Michael!

Rabbi Michael was wonderful to work with, and created a ceremony that was perfect for my husband Dan and me. While I am Jewish, Dan was raised Catholic and we are so grateful to Rabbi Michael for crafting a ceremony that was beautiful and felt natural and so well suited to us. We got so many compliments from guests on Rabbi Michael! He was also very responsive and easy to work with, which really took away the stress related to that portion of the evening! We highly recommend him!
