Professional, Creative, Helpful

We were so grateful to have Reb. Joni as our wedding officiant. She was really helpful and responsive and guided us through the whole process. We reached out to her in December regarding our April wedding and we had monthly meetings on Facetime, leading up to the big day. She answered all of our questions and balanced collaborating with us and asking our preferences while adding her own creative ideas. She even traveled all the way to NJ to officiate our ceremony. We highly recommend. Thank you, Reb. Joni.

Excellent experience

Rabbi Brenner made our special day full of kindness and love. Her wisdom and her way of connecting and understanding people with only few words, made us feel safe. We are so happy she was the one to guide us through the ceremony and we are thankful for her clever words and loving presence during our wedding.

Caring and professional

Our wedding ceremony with Joni was wonderful. It was exactly what we planned it to be - full off love and very real. We enjoyed the special parts Joni left for us to exchange rings and express our feelings, read together and take part in a very exiting moment to us both.
We were looking for a special person to conduct our wedding ceremony, and are very happy it was Joni who did it. From working together before the ceremony, to the celebrations afterwards, join's part was fun, caring, thoughtful and one that fit perfectly with our idea of having a tailor made wedding.

Joni is a true professional in every sense of the word. I knew that having a family member marry my husband and I would be special, but Joni absolutely went above and beyond our expectations.

She is a force. People listen to what she has to say, because everything she says is authentic, kind and truthful. The entire wedding process was a joy. Being that we live in different cities, Joni always made sure that we were well-equipped with the right books and materials leading up to the big day. She also made sure that we all Skyped several times before the wedding – she wanted to understand our personalities and dynamic, so that everything she said at our ceremony was genuine.

I would recommend Joni to anyone looking for a rabbi. She’s the best in my book!

Rebjoni conducted a baby naming for our daughter, Emilia. We are an interfaith family raising our children to be active participants in their Jewish faith while honoring all other faiths. Rebjoni helped us with all aspects of the event--choosing the date, planning the service, helping us to identify the right people for different roles. She helped all of us to understand the meaning of each part of the event and she made it such a special and memorable day for us. She listens, recommends, and respects your choices. She is a wonderful person and I would highly recommend her.
