Rabbi Ron is the best!

Rabbi Ron was the perfect person to lead our wedding ceremony. He was kind, patient, and efficient when planning exactly what we wanted. He was timely and flexible and was willing to cater our ceremony to our preferences. We also had a priest perform the ceremony, and Rabbi Ron worked seamlessly with him. Not only is Rabbi Ron a wonderful person, but he also has a beautiful voice - his singing made our Ketubah signing and ceremony even more unique. He was devout and highly knowledge about Jewish traditions. We highly recommend him!!

Thank you Rabbi Ron!

We couldn't be happier with Rabbi Ron, who officiated our wedding this past weekend! He was personable, enthusiastic, and made the entire experience so special for us. From start to finish, he was incredibly responsive and guided us every step of the way. He made sure we knew exactly what to have ready as far as paperwork and katubbah as well.

Rabbi Ron’s energy and warmth added so much to our ceremony, and we’re forever grateful for the joy and meaning he brought to the day.

Rabbi Broden made our wedding ceremony perfect!

Rabbi Broden is a very nice man. He responded to our emails timely and eased our anxieties. We are an interfaith couple. My husband's name is "Christian"! I grew up in a Jewish family and I always knew I wanted a Rabbi to marry me and I am so happy that Rabbi Broden was the Rabbi to marry us. He made Christian very comfortable and his wedding ceremony was very meaningful to us, and something we will always remember. He also has a great voice! I am excited to keep in touch with Rabbi Broden throughout our marriage and future milestones.

Great choice!

We are so glad we had Rabbi Broden officiate our wedding, and would 100% recommend. He's a great listener and takes great care in learning about the couple he is officiating on behalf of to make the best experience possible.

With his thorough knowledge he was able to ensure all parties were taken into consideration in a harmonious manner. Thank you Rabbi!

Thank you, Rabbi Broden!

Rabbi Broden was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning of our interfaith wedding (Jewish and Catholic). We appreciated how receptive Rabbi Broden was to our ceremony drafts and how well he worked alongside our priest, Father Borda. On the day of the wedding, Rabbi Broden was on time and in good spirits. We received many compliments on the ceremony and officiants. Highly recommended.

Amazing Ceremony!

Rabbi Ron was great! We had an interfaith ceremony and he was so helpful walking my partner and I through the different pieces. He was a quick communicator and worked with us on editing the ceremony script to make it the perfect ceremony for us. Everyone kept telling us how wonderful the ceremony was - personal, heartfelt, had the right amount of tradition/religion.

Great Experience!

Rabbi Ron was such a phenomenal complement to our wedding day. Both the ketubah signing and ceremony were perfect. The words he spoke meant so much to us and our families. He really helped make our day so special!

We loved that we were able to see the whole layout from start to finish and had the flexibility to add custom sentiments that were specific to us and our families.

We love Rabbi Ron!

Best Jewish Ceremony Ever

Rabbi Ron was absolutely amazing with communication, and we had a great time at the ceremony.

He went over everything he was going to say at the pre-planning session and showed us the exact script he was going to use. My husband and I are both Jewish but not members of any temple, and we were so happy to have had Rabbi Ron who made us feel like he had known us for years.

There are so many things that make Rabbi Ron so great, like his nice-looking signature on our ketubah and how he knew to immediately jump out of the way for our 1st kiss. His singing was so beautiful, and we look forward to re-watching the videos of our ceremony many many times! 😀😀😀

Rabbi Ronald is just wonderful!!! He always keeps things light without forgetting what we are all here to celebrate. Keeps your attention without making you feel like you are in school - Everyone always comes over to him after the service to thank him whole heartedly. If you are having an interfaith service, Rabbi Ronald would be a special part of it.
