An absolute treasure!
Before the ceremony, we also met with her several times to discuss our relationship, our goals for the future, what we like about each other, the importance of various things in our relationship, etc. This was super helpful! It was great to be able to explore all these questions with my partner. While we had discussed many of these before, the way Rabbi Annie asked the questions and the specific questions that were asked illuminated some things I hadn't known before and helped me to get closer to my now-wife :) It also helped us get to know Rabbi Annie more, which made the ceremony and wedding seamless.
Overall, highly recommend!

A great company to work with. We highly recommend. Thank you Solace Weddings LLC
Rabbi-Cantor Annie Bornstein performed the ceremony for my clients wedding this past weekend. She was easy to plan with and very responsive to confirm details. Her delivery of the service was so thoughtful, she kept the guests engaged with her humor and brought tears to their eyes (happy tears) with touching moments. She was a breeze to work with, and I truly appreciated her punctuality & kindness! If you're getting married, she's your Rabbi/Cantor!
Rabbi-Cantor Annie is a delight! As a photographer, I work so hard to be respectful of my couples' ceremonies, and document them without being intrusive. Annie and I chatted informally before the ceremony, and she trusted me to capture the ceremony respectfully without imposing difficult restrictions on where I could be or what I could do. It was such a relief. At the ceremony itself, she was warm, kind, thoughtful, and led a beautiful ceremony. And, she was unflappable in the face of a temperamental sound system AND loud planes flying overhead. I've seen ceremonies disrupted by far less, but she made the best of it and kept everything flowing smoothly and everyone focused on the precious moment at hand.
