A wonderful musical officiant!
We really appreciated, in particular, how she took the time to read aloud our entire Ketubah (including in Hebrew) during our ceremony to make sure we felt deeply the significance behind our marriage. It was also really nice how she created little improvised moments of magic, like gathering our family and friends around us during the 7 blessings, which led into a makeshift Hora. Small decisions like that made our wedding truly special. Oh and her voice! It gives us chills thinking about how beautifully she sang throughout the ceremony. Her singing was worth the price of admission alone :)
Prior to the wedding, she took the time to get to know us over several calls, including leading through some pre-marriage counseling. It was nice how she started each session asking us “what’s happened since we last talked?” and helping us work through things happening in our lives that she hadn’t planned for that session. She really shepherded us through the whole process and set us up for success to start our marriage. She was also very organized - we knew we could rely on her to make sure everything was in order for the big day. Cantor Shira brought so much to our wedding, and we would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for an awesome cantor for theirs.
Cantor Shira is the BEST!
Highly Recommend!
Grateful for Shira’s Presence
She was incredibly responsive, both to us and to our wedding planners, and instrumental in preparing us for the big day. When unexpected delays disrupted our timeline, Shira’s calm and reassuring presence immediately put us at ease.
During the ceremony, Shira struck the perfect balance—keeping our guests engaged while crafting a moment that was deeply meaningful and entirely focused on us. We've been to weddings where officiants unintentionally pull focus or go off-script, but Shira did the opposite: she centered the ceremony on our story, making it feel truly personal and heartfelt.
She is a warm, thoughtful, and genuine person, and we are eternally grateful to have had her be such a meaningful part of our wedding journey.
