Wedding Ceremony

Rabbi Howard was absolutely incredible. My wife, Marissa, and I had a destination wedding in Napa (coming from NYC) and he made us feel so comfortable during the ceremony and the months leading up. His demeanor was A+ and we could not have been more fortunate to have been introduced to him. We both highly recommend his services - you won't regret it!

Absolutely phenomenal

Howard was simply the best. He took time to get to know my wife and I and made sure to include things he learned about us in a gorgeous and meaningful ceremony. Not only was Howard kind, caring, and genuine, but he is also an absolute professional with the pre and post wedding details (for all the legal things we weren't aware of). We also couldn't have been more thrilled to have his insight an suggestions with our ceremony, vows, and overall organization of the moments leading up and shortly after the ceremony itself. Our guests couldn't stop sharing how special Howard's words were. He is so inclusive and was able to weave a mix of religion (jewish, emphasis on the "ish" and non-secular) and ensured that all cultures were so well respected. To put it simply, Howard made our wedding so incredibly special we have to recommend him to any couple getting married. Thank you, Howard - you made our day so amazingly special!

Our wishes became reality

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience working with Howard. You will find him immediately to be sincere, thoughtful, and professional. We were interested in getting to know him and his process in creating our weddings ceremony. We were both impressed with how he crafted our ideas and responses to his questions. You have to give him some fuel to create and volunteer your wishes; as he will listen. We hope you enjoy your wedding ceremony with Howard as much as we did. Joseph & Kathy

Howard officiated a lovely wedding with two wonderful men who had been together 31 years, and finally decided to get married as one of them had a terminal diagnosis. It was a ceremony that was tender, loving, uplifting and beautifully reflective of their love and their relationship. Everyone who attended spoke about Howard's ceremony and how it suited the two grooms just perfectly. I referred these gentlemen to Howard, as, although I am also an officiant, I was hospice chaplain to the one groom, and my employer wouldn't allow me to provide that service for them. And Howard was the perfect man for the job--they loved him, and were thrilled with their wedding. I refer Howard whenever I can't take a couple, and I recommend him to everyone!
