A Great Experience

Rabbi Bass was an incredible person to work with throughout our wedding planning experience! From the beginning she was so welcoming, and encouraged my husband (who is not Jewish) and I to meet with her in person so that we could all get to know one another. Each meeting session we focused on different aspects of relationship building between my husband and I, in preparation for the ceremony that we decided on and built together. She was so open to what we wanted to do the day of the wedding, and patient in explaining and exploring that together. I really respect Rabbi Bass a lot, and appreciate her candor and warmth that shines through. She made our ceremony very special for us and our guests, and I would highly recommend her!

The Perfect Officiant!

Rabbi Bass was a fantastic officiant for our wedding! She not only performed a beautiful wedding service and Ketubah signing, but was a joy to work with throughout the process. We were connected to Rabbi Bass through a family friend, and from the first time we met her, she made us feel comfortable and confident that we were in good hands. A few main qualities really stood out. First, Rabbi Bass went out of her way to be flexible and accommodating to our requests, particularly surrounding certain elements of the service we specially requested. Second, Rabbi Bass was always responsive, including with reviewing our Ketubah text and translating elements for us to include. Finally, Rabbi Bass is kind and personable, taking the time to connect with us and our families. The result was a memorable and meaningful experience on our wedding day. We highly recommend her!

Couldn't Imagine Anyone Else

Rabbi Bass was such a wonderful part of our wedding; we couldn’t imagine having the ceremony without her. From the beginning, Lia was so helpful with counseling and with editing and improving the text of our custom-written ketubah. Rabbi Bass helped tailor our ceremony to accommodate our special requests. She even offered to help make our chuppah! When the day came, Lia was so helpful at managing our ketubah signing. Then, during the ceremony, Rabbi Bass was beautiful, personal, and heartfelt in her remarks. So thankful that she was a part of our wedding.
