Cantor Shira is one of the greatest people we've met

Cantor Shira spent so much time preparing us for our wedding. We are two women in an interfaith relationship, and Shira introduced me, the non-Jewish partner, to every spiritual aspect of our ceremony, explaining it in layman's terms and also incorporated traditions from my Cuban background seamlessly. She was more than our officiant, she became a mentor and guiding light through the entire wedding process -- she did not hesitate to do a 45 minute call with us just to talk through family stress ahead of the wedding. Words don't do her ceremony justice. It was organized, thoughtful, and just beautiful. I've never been at a wedding where the officiant received raving, unsolicited reviews from such a wide variety of guests. Honored to call her a friend for life.

Shira is amazing!

Shira is amazing!! She made the whole process so easy, fun, enjoyable, and beautiful. During the craziness of wedding planning, we actually looked forward to our sessions with her. She was also extremely accommodating with our busy wedding planning schedules. She talked us through every step and explained how everything was going to work leading up to, and at the wedding. My fiancé and I have different levels or religion, which was something we were worried about when deciding to have a religious ceremony. Shira tailored our ceremony to the PERFECT amount of religion for us and our families. And we were able to talk through what traditions we wanted and didn’t want to include in our ceremony. After the wedding, our guests were talking about how beautiful our ceremony was, and how amazing Shira and her beautiful voice were!!
