Rabbi Bornstein helped us make our wedding the most amazing and special day for both of our lives and it wouldn't have been possible without her. Everyone who came told us how special and spiritual the ceremony was. We both cried at different parts because of how moving it was. We both had the most meaningful ketubah signing and ceremony knowing that we got married by someone close and special to us. We loved the kind words Rabbi Bornstein said about us, it was very sweet and we will remember/cherish it forever. We cannot thank her enough. Truly.
We want to tell everyone getting married that Rabbi Bornstein is the most amazing person who could officiate a wedding. She took time and so much effort to make our day special, personal and meaningful. You just felt that this was the most important day in her world as well. Thank you again Rabbi!

Her words during the ceremony touched our hearts and made an impact on everyone at the wedding. Thank you Rabbi Annie for helping us create the most beautiful and heartfelt experience.

An absolute treasure!
Rabbi Annie is such a delight and a pleasure to work with. We had a same-gender, interfaith, intercultural celebration, and she helped us blend our traditions and bring everything together into a seamless and moving ceremony. We still have guests telling us how much they loved the ceremony, and Rabbi Annie in particular. Her speech was amazing and very moving, and I was touched by how she talked about us at the ceremony. And she is such a sweet, genuine, and delightful person as well!
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!

The Best Rabbi
My wife and I had the great privilege of having Rabbi Annie officiate our wedding. My wife grew up Presbyterian and I grew up Jewish. Very early on in the process we decided that we wanted to have a rabbi that could perform an interfaith service officiate our wedding. Through the grace of G-d, we were so fortunate to find Rabbi Annie. After just one introductory meeting, we knew that Rabbi Annie was the right fit for us. She has such a kind heart and she showed throughout the process that she genuinely cared about us as people. Between the time we chose Rabbi Annie and our wedding day, we met with her several times. Throughout that process, Rabbi Annie helped my wife and I put into words our love for each other and helped make our love even stronger. Rabbi Annie also helped us craft a ceremony that included many Jewish customs but was also respectful of my wife's religion. We even included a prayer in the ceremony that my wife grew up reciting in her church. In the last couple of meetings leading up to our big day, Rabbi Annie kept telling us that the ceremony would be beautiful. To be honest, I didn't know a ceremony could be that beautiful. With Rabbi Annie's encouragement, we wrote our own personal vows, something we would have never had the courage to do without her. They were beautiful. But the most beautiful part of the ceremony to me was Rabbi Annie's speech towards the end of our ceremony where she told our love story better than anyone else ever could. Our ceremony was only about 20 minutes but those were the best 20 minutes, in an otherwise perfect day, and I will never forget them for as long as I live. Thank you, Rabbi Annie, so much. We love you -- Brandon & Leah

Perfect & Personal Interfaith Ceremony
We met with Rabbi Annie over Zoom during Covid and immediately liked her knew we had found our officiant. She is warm, caring, and thoughtful. As an interfaith couple (Jewish and Muslim), we value that Rabbi Annie understood and respected that while we wanted a nonreligious ceremony, bringing in certain aspects from each of our faiths would be meaningful to us and our families. Annie helped weave together a modern interfaith ceremony that incorporated the traditions and prayers that resonated with us. Rabbi Annie brings a modern interpretation that we found to be a perfect blend of old and new. In addition to her expertise at bringing together a multi-faith/cultural wedding ceremony, Rabbi Annie spent time getting to know us as a couple. We felt supported by Annie throughout the process, particularly when my husband suddenly lost his father a few months before our wedding. Throughout our meetings, she truly got to know us and understand our relationship, resulting in an incredibly intimate and heartfelt ceremony. The Rabbi’s words to us were personal and purposeful and something we will remember and cherish for a lifetime.

Rabbi Annie Bornstein is a Godsend!
Rabbi Annie Bornstein is so much more than a Rabbi. In the months that led up to our wedding, she became family to us. Our pre-wedding meetings with her were incredibly heartwarming and personal. By the time our wedding day arrived, it became apparent that she knew us both very well. Annie incorporated key details from our discussions into the actual wedding ceremony. It was like a finely woven tapestry! Like us (bride and groom), our guests also felt that something very special had taken place during the ceremony. Annie made that happen! In fact it was obvious that Annie too, was quite moved by what was taking place under the Chuppah and in the room. We feel that God had His hand in bringing Annie to us. We could not have been more satisfied with the choice we made for our Rabbi. We intend to stay in touch with Annie and get together with her from time to time. As we already stated, Annie is now family to us. Please consider hiring Annie Bornstein as your Rabbi. You will be very happy that you did.
Jeff and Cherish (Wedding Date: September 16, 2022)

Rabbi Annie can't be beat!
Rabbi Annie was the perfect choice to officiate our wedding and we'll forever fondly remember our ceremony and the time we spent with her in the months leading up. From day 1 until the day of the ceremony, everything was better than we could have ever expected.
Rabbi Annie spent hours with us over Zoom in the months leading up to our wedding, learning about our relationship, our families and our preferences for the ceremony. She always had nice things to say and great advice for us along the way. We had a lot of laughs and still remember her words today. She was also sure to take note of every detail we wanted for the ceremony and was extremely accommodating of everything. Her dedication is clear when you see how much thought she puts into every detail - down to the pronunciation of everybody's name.
The day of was perfect as well. Our ketubah signing was memorable and our families and witnesses loved her. She conducted the ceremony with grace and humor and we've heard so much feedback that our ceremony was emotional and beautiful. It went perfectly according to plan and included everything we wanted.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Rabbi Annie to anyone and everyone!

Rabbi Annie is a Blessing!
From the moment we first spoke with Rabbi Annie, we knew we wanted her to be part of our special day. She invested time in getting to know us as individuals and as a couple, and was both warm and compassionate while also punctual and professional. We had an interfaith ceremony and Rabbi Annie worked tirelessly with us to craft a unique blend of both Jewish and Catholic traditions that would honor both families. The day of, her presence made for a beautiful ceremony and I found myself profoundly moved by her personal, thoughtful message to us as husband and wife. Thank you, Rabbi Annie, for making our wedding both meaningful and memorable!

Amazing interfaith service
Rabbi Annie is simply the best. For our interfaith wedding, she wrote and conducted a beautiful service which explained the jewish parts of the ceremony as well as included both the hebrew and english for the prayers. So many of our guests came up to us and stated that it was the nicest wedding service they had been to. Rabbi Annie really listened to what we wanted our ceremony to look like and delivered a highly customized and tailored event. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

The best rabbi for our wedding, EXCELLENT
She was a fabulous rabbi offering us counseling sessions that were really enjoyable and a great way for her to get to know us. From those sessions she got to know us as a couple and was able to personalize our wedding ceremony. She was willing to accommodate us with our I’m untraditional ceremony. She was extremely kind and funny and warm. She was extremely punctual professional but also made an effort to connect with us. I would absolutely recommend her for any wedding ceremony and cannot express how grateful we are to have had her support us on our wedding day. We had a part Jewish part Hindu wedding and she was extremely accommodating to the schedule of our ceremony.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
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.
