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.

Fantastic Cantor Experience

Shira was incredible throughout the entire process and we were so lucky to have her as a part of our wedding! We appreciate so much the time she took to get to know us as a couple, and we really enjoyed getting to know her as well leading up to the big day.

It felt as though we had someone who we could really trust and knew so well, and this made it all the more special having her with us. She is such a calming presence and this really helped us take in the moment and appreciate every second of it, so we thank her so much for that as well! We also had so many people come up to us and tell us how amazing she was, and what a fantastic voice she has! Truly can’t express enough what a wonderful job you did!

Incredibly thoughtful cantor!

When planning my wedding to a non-Jewish partner, I knew I wanted to find someone to bring in Jewish traditions in a welcoming and loving way to engage us as a couple, and our respective families. Cantor Shira was the absolutely best decision and the perfect person to uplift our wedding with Jewish traditions in a way that all those in attendance felt a part of.

She brought warmth, spirituality, and love to our wedding day. She guided us through the Jewish wedding traditions, explaining each element and ensuring we felt comfortable and understood the significance behind the rituals. She was incredibly flexible, allowing us to incorporate personal touches while staying true to the core values. She made a genuine effort to get to know us as a couple and incorporate our wishes, making the event feel personal and unique. So much so, that I immediately thought of her when my daughter had her bat mitzvah 15 years later. Everything I remembered about her abilities at my wedding- including her incredible voice- shone through in my child’s ceremony years later.

For any couple looking for a cantor to lead their wedding, we wholeheartedly recommend Shira!
