Couldn't have asked for a better Rabbi
We had a small but beautiful pandemic wedding by the sea. Rabbi Heather Miller was our officiant and we were so lucky to have found her. Not only did she work with us to plan our wedding on super short notice, but she welcomed us as an interracial, interfaith couple with open arms.
Our conversations with Rabbi Miller prior to the wedding made us feel seen, heard, and confident about our big day. I was pleasantly surprised how deep and enlightening the conversations were, even over video chat.
Our wedding day was pretty stress-free, especially since we rehearsed the ceremony prior to our big day with Rabbi Miller. We discussed the meaning and relevance of what we wanted to include, and Rabbi Miller explained everything clearly, the symbolism and meaning of different customs and rituals, what all our options were to customize our ceremony, etc. For our guests who attended on Zoom, it was comforting to know they could be a part of our big day while still staying safe and relaxed at home and having a Rabbi that is so tech savvy really helps in these times.
When the pandemic is over, we plan to have a huge party with lots of food and guests. But our small, mostly virtual ceremony still felt sacred and very special in large part because of the guidance of Rabbi Heather Miller. We have since attended her high holidays services and know she will be a part of many of our major life milestones in the years to come.

Retying the Knot and Breaking the Glass - 4/7/2024
From the first time Aryeh and I met with Rabbi Miller via FaceTime, we felt a sense of relief and ease. It was so fun and easy to talk with her, and we appreciated her flexibility and willingness to work with us as an interfaith couple doing a Jewish wedding with elements of Christian Science integrated throughout! And, it was really awesome that she was able to work with us as we navigated recommitting to each other after being divorced for a few years. The fact that our daughter, who was definitely excited about Mommy and Daddy getting back together, was part of that preparation and the ceremony meant so much to all of us.
We so appreciated the spiritual counseling that we did for the few months leading up to the wedding too. And it felt like Aryeh and I were really grounded in a good foundation as we prepared. And then during the ceremony, when the Rabbi did her Charge - we were so moved! She incorporated things she learned about us into what she shared that indicated to us that she cared and was really tuned in and had listened to us!
We were so humbled and honored to have her officiating, and we highly recommend her! And we also loved being invited to and getting to attend her Keeping It Sacred shabbat service before the wedding too, and look forward to going back soon! So grateful for how welcoming and loving Rabbi Miller is!

Rabbi Heather is the Best!
Rabbi Heather Miller was the ideal officiant for our wedding ceremony, and we feel extremely lucky that we found her. She helped us put together a ceremony that very much represented who we are as a couple, while also guiding us with her experience and expertise. She was gentle, thoughtful, engaged and took a keen interest in who we are as individuals and a couple, not just what motions to go through in a wedding ceremony. Our pre-wedding sessions with her were enjoyable and enriching — Rabbi Heather brings a deep well of knowledge and excellent sense of humor to everything she does. She’s the best! And on the day of the ceremony, she was a steady presence, answering last minute questions while handling both logistics and feelings. She was great with my dad, who was overcome with emotion just before the ceremony. We plan to maintain our bond with Rabbi Heather as active members of her Keeping It Sacred community.
