Great Rabbi!

I enjoyed working with Rabbi Altman! I appreciated his flexibility in performing a Jewish ceremony to an interfaith couple (wife half Jewish & husband full Israeli Jew) while also allowing us flexibility of adding our flair: individualized handwritten vows & handpicked poems read by family.

Do not delay and book Rabbi Altman right away!

Gladys & David

Rabbi David Altman was the officiant at our wedding and we can only say that he is nothing short of amazing! He is sincere, kind, and knows how to bring in some gentle humor. He knows how to keep us calm and grounded despite the anxiousness that comes with the wedding day. Most of all, he knows how to party! He stayed for our reception and really helped make the party special and so much fun. We highly recommend Rabbi Altman for anyone who wants a wedding day to remember. Thank you so much for helping make our the wedding day the best day of our lives!

A fantastic experience with Rabbi David!

Rabbi David Altman did our wedding on Long Island and the experience was fantastic. He was professional, uplifting and funny! Our guests absolutely loved him; in fact one of our non-Jewish guests said she wanted to have a Jewish wedding just so she could have him officiate it! He made everything clear and easy, which was especially welcome considering we were planning everything prior to the wedding from abroad (American bride from Long Island, English groom, both living in the UK). We could not have asked for anything better, and he made everyone feel at ease and included. :)

Wonderful and smooth

Rabbi Altman is an absolute pleasure to work with. Extremely accommodating, pleasant and non judge mental! From the moment we FaceTimed for introductions, he made me feel like we’ve known each for years! I had an interfaith marriage and was concerned about how it would go and he guided me through every step. He was nice enough to come to
My house and meet with our pastor, even made it to my rehearsal despite having his own event that day. He was always available for any questions and was always pleasant and kind. He is super funny, so you will never be bored and always has wonderful stories to share. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a Rabbi!

A Great Officiant for Modern Times

Dmitry and I feel extremely happy with our wedding ceremony. As an interfaith couple, we wanted to work with someone who understood that love transcends all. Rabbi Altman struck the right balance of tradition, humor, and romance in his ceremony. I would absolutely recommend his services to any couple who want to honor the past and their future.

Amazing ceremony with Rabbi David!

I had my wedding on December 1st, 2019 in Dominican Republic. Rabbi David was amazing in each step of the planning process and at the wedding. He was very accommodating and understanding in terms of the transportation and stay, since it was a destination wedding. Leading up to the wedding, we met several times to speak about the ceremony and what we wanted. He executed everything perfectly. We completely customized the ceremony based off of his suggestions and our requests. Overall, it was simply perfect. All of our guests raved about how beautiful and meaningful the ceremony was. We felt that he really got to know us, and we loved the jokes he threw into the ceremony! It was everything we ever wanted, and we would definitely recommend Rabbi David Altman to anyone looking for an amazing ceremony!
