Best Rabbi Ever!

We were recommended Rabbi Brent by friends who were doing premarital counseling with him after seeing him officiate their friends' wedding. I hadn't even thought about premarital counseling, but it turned out to be such an important and meaningful experience for us. Rabbi Brent facilitated us having big conversations about our relationship, helping us to instill the practice going forward and build and maintain a strong foundation for our family. Every session that we had with him, he provided thoughtful, helpful guidance, along with useful literature on relevant topics.

By the time we were planning the nuts and bolts of the ceremony, we had spent so much time in deep conversation with Rabbi Brent that we had grown incredibly comfortable with him. He helped us write a beautiful custom text for our ketubah, which makes the act of signing it feel much more intimate and personal.

He made the ceremony easy and comfortable, and brought a lot of love to the event. And he was the hit of the night. We've received more praise for his performance than for any other aspect of our--in my biased opinion--perfect wedding. We cannot recommend using Rabbi Brent more strongly!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
