My wife and I were incredibly lucky to have Rabbi Sparr officiate our wedding at Saltwater Farm Vineyard in Stonington, CT. Her bio reads as true as she is. We are a same-sex Jewish and interfaith couple, so it was hard for us to find a Rabbi who would officiant our wedding. After our initial phone call Rabbi Sparr, we knew right away that she was perfect for us. She was responsive, dedicated, detailed, organized and supportive. She had many documents/resources to help us create a meaningful ceremony. She also officiated our Ketubah ceremony with our family and friends.There was not a dry eye in the audience and we absolutely loved our ceremony! Highly recommend!

Rabbi Sparr has wonderful energy and insights. She really made a point to get to know us during preparation and helped really tailor the wedding to our Jewish identity. She was remarkably communicative, organized and helpful as we prepared for the wedding providing detailed documents, reference materials and insights into Jewish traditions.

Additionally, Rabbi Sparr was able to roll with the challenges of planning a wedding during the pandemic and assisted us in ensuring that safety was a top priority. This was part of her and our plan from the beginning and the safety protocols were clear and easy for everyone.

Lastly, we got a number of great comments from guests noting how Rabbi Sparr knew us so well, I think this was due to her nature and process during wedding preparations.

I couldn't recommend her enough, she's great.

Rabbi Sparr did our wedding on Sunday, October 21st 2018 and she was fantastic.

We had a few meetings with her beforehand and it was very comfortable and she is very open to alternative lifestyles and is very funny.

She even had a tissue ready for me since I was balling like a baby because I was so happy during the ceremony!

What I didn't expect was her singing voice. When she did the Jewish sections she sang so beautifully and It was very special.

Rabbi Robin is absolutely fantastic. She helped us to construct a deeply meaningful Jewish-ish wedding that set the stage for the most wonderful event of our lives. People say that, 'cause, lord, one imagines that it is possible and hopes it will happen for them...but for us it was and a lot of credit goes to finding the perfect Rabbi for us.

It turns out just having a Jewish wedding when marrying a non-Jew with no interest in converting is hard to do. We searched for Rabbis and were lucky enough to find someone who exceeded our expectations in every way.

Rabbi Robin was flexible with our busy medical school schedule, meeting with us in an evening at her home and doing video chats for both a first meeting and follow up ones. She took my call in a moment of crisis about a more religious family member not interested in participating in a blessing. She was reassuring and available.

Most importantly, she gave just the right amount structure and support to what was a pretty traditional wedding in all the ways we wanted, a tisch and bedeken (but the women also got scotch), seven blessings, mutual circling, a priestly blessing in Hebrew. But for each choice, which she presented to us at just the right time, we made ourselves. We made changes to the English prayers so that we could both feel them more honestly in our hearts. All of that was felt by our family and friends. They loved the whole wedding but most remarked on the ceremony. Thank you Rabbi Robin for helping us not make it too long.

While some people have wonderful friends who can marry them, and that is 100% the best choice for them, Rabbi Robin was able to create a personal ceremony that felt much bigger than us, it was connected to both of our families and to my Jewish tradition in ways that felt real and important to my partner.

The ceremony that we created with Rabbi Sparr was my favorite part of our entire wedding. My husband and I wanted to create a romantic, joyful ceremony that celebrated my Jewish culture and also integrated my husband's Catholic background. Rabbi Sparr was easy to communicate with on Skype, email, phone, and we also had a great in-person meeting. She provided an outline and made suggestions based on our preferences and provided a lot of material for us to use as a source for readings, as well as helpful checklists to prepare for our day and gave feedback on the vows we wrote. On the day of our wedding Rabbi Sparr was relaxed and calm and that made us feel so comfortable. The ceremony was lighthearted, spiritual, and romantic. She has a beautiful singing voice. We got such great feedback from our guests that the ceremony was so "us." We laughed, we cried, it was amazing! Can't ask for much more! It was a pleasure working with Rabbi Sparr and I highly recommend her as a wedding officiant.

Cantor Sparr was great. She was friendly and easy to work with. She made the process simple and the ceremony memorable. I had more than one person come up to me to let me know how wonderful they thought she was. Couldn't have wished for anything better.

We LOVE Cantor Sparr!!! She was SUCH an integral part of our wedding, and made it the magical day that we had dreamed of. We had a blast at every pre-wedding meeting, and she helped us through every step of the way. We were pretty overwhelmed by planning the wedding at first, but she made everything really clear and the whole process was easy and fun. The service that she prepared especially for us was so beautiful -- I loved that she used SO much information about our history and us as a couple and weaved it into the service. All night at the party, our friends and family were telling us what an incredible service we had.

I can't thank Cantor Sparr enough for helping make our wedding so beautiful and meaningful.

Ok, full disclosure right from the top. As you might have guessed from my name, Robin is a relative of mine - a second cousin, to be exact. In the past she has officiated at the weddings of two of my cousins, and last summer, at my own.

So while I can't claim complete objectivity, I can still attest that in overhearing comments by other guests who had no personal connection to Robin, there was a consistent consensus that the her ceremonies are infused with a genuine warmth, a relaxed sense of humor that puts everyone at ease, and a deep spirituality - all of which combine to make for an unforgettable experience for the bride and groom and their family and friends.

Her professionalism and organizational skills make her a delight to work with in the planning stages as well. She asks insightful questions, and is able to get a real and intimate feel for each couple, so that each ceremony is unique and personal - and not at all formulaic.

Finally, it should be noted that she has outstanding cantorial skills - a gorgeous voice, comprehensive knowledge of Jewish laws and customs, and can accompany herself ably on guitar.

Our wedding day could not have been more perfect, and Robin Sparr was a big part of that perfection.

Robin was genuinely interested in the story of our relationship as a couple and the important role that our history and experiences played in planning a meaningful ceremony. She guided us toward thoughtful and critical conversations but had no personal agenda in doing so. She was invested in incorporating our personal voices into the ceremony. She truly helped to make the most important part of our wedding such a joyful experience. Thank you Robin!

Cantor Robin Sparr-Rothman conducted my daughters Baby Naming and did a wonderful job! She is warm, caring, has a great sense of humor, and has a beautiful singing voice. It could not have gone any better. I received many compliments on Cantor Robin and the ceremony from all my guests. I would recommend her services to anyone!
