Blending "personal with historical" as one of her clients recently wrote, Cantor Re’ut (pronounced Ray-oot) feels privileged to have accompanied couples on their journey into marriage for over 25 years. Synergizing ancient wisdoms with "keeping it real" to you, Re’ut will work closely with you to build a warm, bespoke ceremony that is true to the two of you and shares your love story with your community.

The journey begins with sending you A Couple's Questionnaire, followed up with meetings, four-to-six times before the wedding to develop a personal relationship with you, so that she can best weave your love story into the ceremony.

Re'ut also takes time to review and study with you every ritual in the ceremony, so that she can incorporate your vision and style and tailor-make the ceremony to you, while still anchored in your traditions.
