Having this wonderful man perform our wedding ceremony was truly one of the best parts of the day!

Having this wonderful man perform our wedding ceremony was truly one of the best parts of the day! I cannot possibly say enough good things about him. He paid attention to each of us, and captured details about our relationship that were completely unexpected yet felt like such a blessing. His warmth and humor and kindness are beyond measure. We never even considered having anyone else marry us, And we chose the date based on his schedule. He was literally the first wedding choice after I choose the person I wanted to marry.

The absolute best!

My husband and I truly could not have pictured a more perfect officiant for our wedding. Rabbi Astrachan took the time to get to know us personally, which made our ceremony feel uniquely tailored to us. Our guests asked if we had known him our whole lives and are still talking about how beautiful and engaging the ceremony was. He provided the perfect mixture of tradition and humor to our entire wedding day. We are so grateful to have had such a thoughtful and genuine person marry us. Truly beyond 5 stars. We very much look forward to staying connected with him for years to come.

Thank you for a beautiful ceremony!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Jeff! From the moment we met him, he exuded warmth, kindness, and genuine care for us as a couple. He took the time to get to know our love story and crafted a ceremony that was not only beautiful but deeply personal and heartfelt. We aren't Jewish and had a non-religious wedding, and his words during our ceremony were so thoughtful and eloquent - he captured the essence of our relationship perfectly. So many of our guests came up to us afterward to say how moved they were by his words and how touched they felt by the ceremony. He created a space that felt intimate, meaningful, and filled with love. His presence was calming and reassuring, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was guiding us through such an important moment in our lives. We feel incredibly lucky to have had Jeff be a part of our wedding day, and we will cherish the memory of his beautiful words forever.

Rabbi Astrachan was the PERFECT person to officiate our wedding.

Rabbi Astrachan was the PERFECT person to officiate our wedding. He helped walk us through everything over Zoom (since we are out of state) in the months ahead of our wedding, and was just amazing the entire time.

Rabbi was committed through the entire process to ensure that our ceremony was personalized to us. He was encouraging, calming, organized, and has an amazing sense of humor. Our ceremony was more beautiful than we could have imagined. It was and is so special to us. We received loads of compliments on how warm and touching the ceremony was.

We’re so glad we chose Rabbi Astrachan for our wedding and would highly recommend him to anyone else!!

Rabbi for Wedding Day!

Rabbi Astrachan was an incredible asset to our wedding day. Throughout the process, Rabbi was responsive to all of our questions and extremely warm. During the ceremony, the Rabbi was engaging, injected humor, and wowed our wedding guests with his words. After the wedding, all of my friends want him to be their officiant at their future weddings! Overall, he surpassed our expectations and we would highly recommended anyone to hire him as their officiant.

Rabbi Astrachan is the BEST!

Rabbi Jeffery Astrachan with Exchanging Rings is truly the most exceptional officiant a couple could ever ask for for their wedding! He helped facilitate the most unique, personalized wedding for my husband (Jewish) and myself (Catholic). We met with him several times in the months before the wedding and he placed careful attention to get to know us as individuals and a couple. He encouraged us to do wedding "homework", which was a series of fun questions that we answered independently and as a couple. He then used the answers in the wedding to ensure the ceremony was personalized to us. We had countless guests tell us it was the most unique ceremony they ever witnessed! Rabbi Astrachan traveled to Cincinnati, OH from Florida for our wedding and we will eagerly recommend his officiant services to any couple regardless of your religion, sexuality, race, culture, location, etc. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

Rabbi Astrachan is professional, reliable, and compassionate

Rabbi Astrachan is amazing!
As everybody probably is, we were nervous about our big day but Rabbi Astrachan made us feel so comfortable and made it very easy to get through. He is very professional, and always respond in timely manner. The sessions he organized prior to our wedding are very thoughtful and comprehensive, we felt well prepared by our wedding day.

My husband and I are from different cultural background, Rabbi Astrachan took consideration of all the audiences presented, and incorporated stories and translations to really bring the cultures together, he went above and beyond to make everyone feel a part of ceremony. It is a perfect event.

A unique and personal experience

Rabbi Jeffrey Astrachan performed a uniquely personal interfaith wedding ceremony for us. As part of his preparation, he had each of us complete a multi question homework assignment which allowed him to learn about each of us as individuals, how we met, and how we meshed as a couple. He asked for personal anecdotes which he then used to weave a uniquely personalized story about us as a couple. Although we had met with him only one time (on Super Bowl Sunday of all days, when HIS team, the Patriots would soon be taking the field), his ceremony gave the impression of knowing the two of us intimately for a long time.

His mix of humor and faith and humility made our wedding ceremony a memorable experience for us and an inviting event for our family and friends.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
