Howard was a joy to work with! He met with us multiple times leading up to the wedding to get to know us as people, as a couple, and to fully understand our relationship to religion and Judaism and worked together with us to craft a ceremony that honored Jewish tradition yet still felt perfectly us. He's totally open to meeting you where you are spiritually and his passion and skill for creating a fully customized ceremony was excellent. We received many compliments from guests that this was one of their favorite ceremonies to witness and that they "could truly feel *us* within the ceremony."

We cannot recommend Howard enough. From the moment the ceremony began, he created an atmosphere that was warm, meaningful, and uniquely personal to us. We truly couldn’t go an hour without a guest telling us how incredible he was and how special he made the ceremony feel. His energy, love, enthusiasm, and genuine positivity set the tone for our entire engagement process and wedding weekend in Mexico. We are so grateful for the care he put into every detail and for making our wedding feel so authentic and unforgettable.

My husband and I have now been together for 25 years, married for 10. My husband and I have now been together for 25 years, married for 10. Howard officiated our marriage 10 years ago. We decided to host a large anniversary celebration in October that included a vow renewal in addition to the party and celebrations. Our event was held in Atlanta, GA where we now reside. Howard helped us with the planning of the anniversary vow renewal and officiated that part of the ceremony / celebration. We had a wonderful experience working with Howard! He is personable and really took the time to understand the atmosphere and style of ceremony we were after. We were looking for something less formal in terms of ceremony in favor of something more personal and inclusive for all our family and friends in attendance. Howard really went the extra mile in terms of working not only with us on our "love letter" vows, but he also worked with several attendees who also participated in the ceremony. Additionally, due to the size of the event we hired and event planner and Howard worked very closely with her on the logistics and planning. The whole process was smooth and well coordinated. Howard brought an incredible amount of warmth and personality to the event itself and we felt totally embraced and well taken care of by him. He was always available to us and the geography / time zone difference was a non-issue. Howard is a pro and we would definitely work with him again for another milestone celebration and or life event! We highly recommend him.

Howard was great to work with. Meeting with him was easy and he put together a great service that made everyone feel the love in the ceremony. It was like he had known us for years.

We met Howard at an introductory first meeting online and then at his home to see if we were a good fit for one another. My first impression of him was that he was warm and kind. He made a point to get to know my now husband and myself by asking us all the right questions without being intrusive. We talked for about an hour and I felt then that he would conduct himself and our wedding ceremony with thought, grace and dignity. I was right! My husband and I were so grateful to have Howard's guidance and presence at one of the most important event of our lives. I was especially so very touched by the words Howard spoke to us and will remember them eternally. Howard, thank you so very much.

We had a great experience working with Howard! He led the dialogue about things we should be thinking about and considering before and during our wedding. He provided good framework about what we did and didn't want to be included and helped ensure everyone was comfortable and felt included during the whole process.

Howard was kind, responsive, professional, and extremely accommodating. We'd highly recommend him to anyone!

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!

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!

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 has a gift of listening and blending with all people in a way that lights up a room and makes everyone feel joy! Howard was the officiant at our daughter's wedding over four months ago. Our friends still bring up how amazing the ceremony was in terms of the connection that Howard made to not only the bride and groom but to all the guests. His spirituality, humor and loving personality make him a blessing to have at any wedding!
