We had a non religious ceremony, a small elopement, and wanted to bring it to another level with a memorable ceremony for us. He did such a phenomenal job in the preparation, guiding us through the steps, and the actual ceremony was such a memorable experience. He really knows how to bring weight to the moment and make it feel very special. Highly recommended. It's not every day you get married, and this was a day we'll remember the rest of our lives, especially thanks to this man's special energy and intention behind the ceremony. thanks again, highly highly recommended.

Within minutes of our first conversation we knew Barry was a great fit for us. We chatted about everything from mindfulness to didgeridoo playing and gained an understanding of Barry's fresh and insightful perspective on a Jewish wedding ceremony. Barry brings a very lighthearted but deep and spiritual energy to existing Jewish tradition.

We had an inter-faith wedding and despite many of our guests not being Jewish, he did an incredible job making the Jewish traditions relatable and inclusive for everyone. We received so much great feedback from our guests about how special and unique the ceremony felt. And we may have found a few future clients for Barry as well :)

We went with his custom Ketubah service and the results were amazing. He took inspiration from a lot of meaningful things in our lives and combined them with traditional Jewish ketubah text. We now have a personalized symbolic document and art piece that we will cherish forever.

We had a themed wedding -"Wild West Disco" - and Barry needed no convincing to dress the part. He brought so much joy and levity to our wedding day.
Working with Barry for our wedding felt like working with a long time friend. We feel so lucky to have found Barry.

My husband (I wrote fiancé and then corrected myself!) and I are both secular, spiritual Jews. We wanted our wedding officiated by a Rabbi, but the question was, how do we find one that resonated with our beliefs & values? I found Rabbi Barry from a Google search, and arranged a time to chat. We connected with his interpretation of Judaism and love, and noticed immediately how well-spoken he was. Rabbi Barry is a professional public speaker - his services left hardly a dry eye at the venue (of course, my & my husbands vows didn’t hurt 😉). Multiple guests told us that our ceremony was the best and/or most heart-felt ceremony they’d ever been witness to. There was laughter, tears, and just the perfect balance of spiritual connectedness to our ancestors & Jewishness. He explained traditions to our non-Jewish guests in a beautiful way that I know they appreciated and enjoyed. One of my husband’s friends even joked that he wants to convert now 😂
It was a history lesson, and a compelling sermon on love, with a pinch of comedy stand-up, all in one. Being able to work on a Ketubah with him was the cherry on top. He was responsive and understanding of how specific of a vision I had, and allowed me to take as much control of the project as I wanted. Rabbi Barry is your one-stop-shop for your Jewish or interfaith wedding.

Forever grateful,
Mr. & Mrs. Kohn-Levine 🥰
