Rabbi Paul Offenkrantz

We are so glad that Rabbi Paul could be a part of our wedding! His ceremony and blessings were so beautiful and meaningful. It was perfectly balanced with Jewish traditions and also very unique by including Native American blessings. He met with us a few times ahead of the wedding to discuss what we wanted to include in our ceremony. He did a fantastic job at explaining all the parts of the ceremony and their significance. The ceremony flowed very well! It was perfect!

We are so incredibly grateful to Rabbi Offenkrantz for creating such a beautiful and meaningful ceremony and ketubah signing for our wedding on 3/14. From the very beginning, he was such a pleasure to work with and it was so easy to coordinate times to meet leading up to the wedding weekend.

The ceremony was so special. Rabbi Offenkrantz made it feel both personal and genuine, honoring our various requests for Jewish traditions. Many of our guests came up to us afterward to say it was one of the most heartfelt ceremonies they’ve witnessed.

And we also have to mention Rabbi Offenkrantz’s incredible voice, which made the ceremony even more memorable.

We highly recommend Rabbi Offenkrantz and feel so lucky that he officiated of our wedding day.

Rabbi Paul gave the most beautiful ceremony at our wedding this past Saturday. All of our guests came up to us and said how incredible our Rabbi was. Having a beautiful ceremony was a high priority for me, and he exceeded all our expectations. He was also great to work with throughout the entire process. Always responsive, thorough, professional, and warm. He made us feel so comfortable. I recommend 100000%

Rabbi Paul was a highlight of our wedding. If we had to go back and do it again, Rabbi Paul would be one of the first people we would call. This is based not just on our feedback, but also on the overwhelming positive response from our friends and family at the ceremony.

Hannah and I had a very specific need in an officiant. I’m Jewish, and Hannah is not (she is generally spiritual but does not follow any religion). We had one goal: to navigate that middle-ground with an interfaith wedding that would include and frame Jewish traditions in an accessible way by highlighting symbolism everybody can get behind, while simultaneously ensuring the ceremony doesn’t alienate the non-jews in the crowd.

Everybody loved the ceremony. They didn’t just like it, they LOVED it.
One reason Rabbi Paul’s ceremony was perfect is because he took the time to get to know us. He sat down with us multiple times to walk through our backgrounds, what we are looking for, what to include and what not to include, and how we should approach things. When we had feedback, he took it very seriously, and openly discussed our options, his recommendations, and eventually gave us exactly what we were looking for. For example, in one specific moment we preferred a Native American prayer (neither of us are Native American) rather than a traditional Jewish prayer – something we’d never thought or considered prior to that moment, but after he rattled it off during one of our meetings with no practice or notes and without hesitation, we fell in love with it and asked him to say it at our wedding.

Also, I’ve never met a person who responds to emails as fast as Rabbi Paul.

If you’re doing an interfaith wedding, you should ABSOLUTELY hire Rabbi Paul – it would be a mistake not to. Frankly, if you’re doing a Jewish wedding, I would also recommend you make him your first call.

Rabbi Paul – thank you for giving us the perfect ceremony that brought us, our families, and our faiths together.

Rabbi Paul officiated at our wedding last weekend. He was punctual, presented professionally and performed the wedding we dreamed of. The ceremony was filled with emotion; love and joy.
He performed an interfaith wedding that was very personal and allow us both to feel our religious beliefs were honored.
We recommend him highly as he did not disappoint at all
He really listened and provided what we asked for.

Rabbi Paul Offenkrantz was the best rabbi for our wedding! We set up zoom calls together so he could get to know us and he made our ceremony feel so personal and special. He speaks eloquently, explains what different blessings and traditions mean, and made sure nobody in our audience felt left out. Added bonus is his amazing vocals! We would definitely recommend him to other couples!

Rabbi Paul was amazing. We enrolled in his services for our wedding and not only was he professional, kind and talented, but he delivered on our vision for the ceremony seamlessly. Guests and family alike were blown away with how well he was able to grasp the audiences attention while also making the ceremony about the bride & groom.
Having only met Rabbi Paul a handful of times on zoom, he was fantastic and far exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely consider booking him again for any other future needs.

Rabbi Paul provided us with the most wonderful ceremony. Our guests could not stop commenting about his beautiful voice and meaningful words. We had the best time getting to know him in our pre ceremony calls. He was so communicative and helpful, we went into the wedding feeling so prepared and at ease.

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant than Rabbi Paul for our wedding. From the moment we met him, his warmth, kindness, and genuine spirit put us at ease and made us feel understood. He took the time to get to know us as a couple, ensuring our ceremony was deeply personal and filled with meaningful moments that truly reflected our journey together. Rabbi Paul balanced tradition with our unique touches beautifully, and his words resonated not only with us but with everyone present. We had so many guests comment on how special and heartfelt the ceremony felt. We are so grateful to Rabbi Paul for making our day unforgettable!

Rabbi Paul was a fantastic addition to our wedding! He has always been very responsive and available for our questions, conducting a few meetings beforehand to get to know us and our preferences for our wedding ceremony. I am Jewish and my husband is not, and Rabbi made sure to design a ceremony that both Jewish and non-Jewish guests could appreciate and understand. He was also very flexible and agreeable to officiate during Shabbat and forego some parts of the ceremony we wanted to take out. Our guests are STILL talking about Rabbi Paul's beautiful singing and chanting during the ceremony, and how meaningful he made it. We would highly recommend!
