Great Ceremony. Funny. Thoughtful. Moving.

I am actually writing as a DJ that has worked with Rabbi Barry several times through what is now 2 decades plus. He custom tailors his ceremony to combine traditions, a couple's values, and universal human values, and when applicable, Jewish tradition. As the guy who sets up the microphone and has to wait for the "Mazeltov," I listen carefully. Highly recommended. Best Wishes, Bud Fleisher, Let's Party! DJS

Entertainment, Wisdom, and Warmth

My (now) husband and I are reform Jews who knew we wanted a reform Jewish wedding. Rabbi Barry Silver was the PERFECT officiant for this special day in our lives, as he took the time to get to know us prior to the ceremony, warmly invited us to his Friday night service, and entertained our ceremony guests with education, passion, and personalized songs. It felt like Rabbi Barry was a part of our family that night, as he is as authentic as it gets. If you are looking for an officiant who is communicative, thoughtful, and dynamic - this is your Rabbi. Thank you, Rabbi Barry Silver, for marrying us!

My husband and I first met Rabbi Barry Silver when he officiated one of our closest friend’s wedding. He was absolutely great and we immediately thought, ‘when we get married we want him to officiate ours’. My husband and I are from different backgrounds, I am of Jewish and Russian decent and he is Catholic and Italian. Rabbi Silver perfectly intermixed our religions as well as our cultural backgrounds, and his heartfelt words were of love and spirituality as one global community. He asked us questions before the ceremony and used our responses to those questions to make the sermon personal, relatable, and simply about us. Aside from his moving and truly wise words, he is hilarious! The sermon was fun and enlightening at the same time. He had all of our guests literally laughing out loud at times.

We invited Rabbi Silver to dine with us after the ceremony, and during dinner he wrote a song which he then recited during the speeches. The song was an absolute hit! He took pieces of what we told him about our lives prior to the ceremony and mixed that in with answers he got from questions he asked friends and family, and come up with a hilariously brilliant song / speech. He had people crying of laughter!

After the wedding we have had several guests ask for Rabbi Silver’s contact information because they want to use him for their wedding. He was absolutely perfect, and I would recommend him to everyone!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
