We’re a bit late writing our review, but Rabbi Andy was our Celebrant on the edge of Central Park Lake 25 June 2015 (the day before same-sex marriage became legal right across USA) for a Kiwi and an Aussi guy.
Andy met with us over Skype to get to know us and plan our day.
Andy even organised our Wedding Photographer who was also awesome.

It’s our 7th Anniversary next Month, and we always tell people about our joyous day in New York City with Rabbi Andy.

He is one of those beautiful humans who radiate joy.

This review is 5 years late, so sorry Andy.

Andy helped us every step of the way to plan our big day with advice about paperwork, finding a special place for us in Central Park, giving us a lift to our lunch, mailing the marriage certificate after the ceremony... I could go on.

However I mostly appreciated his calming chat when I was nervously waiting for my bride. He made our day very special and I will always remember his kind words and selfless deeds. Our ceremony was a romantic, chilled out and very personal experience, all because of you Andy.

Thank you!

Rabbi Andy Dubin was the perfect match to our wedding officiant needs. We had met with other rabbis and either they had booming voices but no real interest in our story or they were very invested in our relationship yet weren’t the best public speakers. With Andy we found the best of both worlds. He is a very gentle and kind man with a great consideration for both partners as well as an engaging presentation that elicited multiple compliments from our guests. We are an interfaith couple (I am lapsed Episcopalian with limited exposure to Jewish traditions and my wife is Jewish) and Andy took the time to explain the meaning behind the rituals of the Jewish ceremony. We met with Andy 3 times leading up the our wedding and we shared our “how me met” story and family histories with him to the point were he infused our ceremony with personalized touches that made it all the more special to us both. We were able to work with Andy to select traditions and rituals that were significant to us, meaningful to our Jewish guests and inclusive of our gentile guests. We wholeheartedly recommend Rabbi Andy to anyone who is looking to have a beautiful, personalized and spiritually significant ceremony.

Rabbi Andy was just the perfect fit for my partner of 40 years and myself. He is Jewish and I was raised Episcopalian. We met with Andy once before our ceremony but he seemed to understand our relationship and how we were approaching this new phase of our lives together. He was spiritual and lighthearted; serious and joyful at the same time. We could not have hoped for a more perfect understanding of us and what we wanted in our wedding ceremony.

Andy is a wonderful Rabbi and was a wonderful spiritual guide for us. He went above and beyond. My husband grew up orthodox and I grew up in a mixed household (jewish father, catholic mother). We were looking for someone who would support that mix. Our meetings were fruitful and he really got to know who we are as a couple. So, so many people complemented us for his thoughtful, and (appropriately) hilarious remarks and the beautiful ceremony he conducted. He had us laughing and crying. And most importantly, he really captured who we are, and helped us create a ceremony that was right for us. Andy is truly a lovely human being, and we're looking forward to staying in touch with him. Hire him immediately!

Andy was our rabbi for our wedding a few weeks back and we only have the most amazing things to say. We decided to have a Jewish ceremony fairly last minute and we met with Andy with only a limited time left before our wedding. We were able to meet a couple of times in person and we really enjoyed our time together learning more about the traditions in the Jewish ceremony. He spent time getting to know us as a couple and on our wedding day, he gave such a personal and highly memorable ceremony. Our guests raved about how well Andy spoke and how beautiful the ceremony was. We highly recommend Andy for any couple looking for a Jewish ceremony that is still personal and highly relatable to all guests attending.

My wife and I were a bit nervous at the prospect of finding an co-officiant for our interfaith wedding (we were looking for both a rabbi and a Protestant Christian Pastor to represent our families' respective faiths and traditions.) We needn't have worried - Rabbi Andy turned out to be the perfect choice.

From our introductory Skype conversation to the day of our ceremony a little over a week ago, Rabbi Andy was both the calm, reassuring presence and a knowledgable consummate professional. Many months before our wedding, Andy even offered us a chance to participate in a series of classes aimed at educating interfaith couples in the history, culture, and traditions of Judaism so that - regardless of whether or not the non-Jewish partners are converting - couples can have a greater understanding of Jewish life. The class was fantastic and helped me connect to my wife and her family that much more.

We recommend Rabbi Andy to any interfaith or Jewish couples looking for a smart, attentive, and accommodating officiant for their wedding.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Andy. I am Jewish and my husband is not. It was important to us to have a ceremony that incorporated Jewish traditions and culture in a way that felt sincere for us both. Andy did a terrific job creating a personalized ceremony based upon our meetings and conversations with him. He discussed everything with us in detail beforehand and took the time to get to know us as a couple. He was also very warm and sincerely cared about our special day. We received many, many compliments from our friends and family about how great the ceremony was. We highly recommend him to anyone searching for a wedding officiant.

My husband and I had a hard time finding an officiant who really listened to what we wanted. We went through tons of phone calls and emails with other officiants who really didn't grasp the simplicity that we were seeking. We were so relieved to find Andy! From our very first conversation we could tell he was the one for us. He really listened to what we wanted and was so warm and kind. He knew we wanted to keep our ceremony simple and intimate, and he really catered to that. He never once tried to push or encourage us to do more than we wanted, which was the big issue we had with most other officiants we spoke with. Andy really made our wedding day special and it turned out exactly the way we hoped it would.

Thank you so much Andy!

Andy Was Amazing! I just got married on Saturday in Central Park and he did a great Job! Not only is he creative, but he makes you feel special by providing personal details and experiences to make the ceremony a lot more unique . To be honest, I'm a type of guy who likes to research everything before making a final decision, But with Andy, Look no further. I strongly recommend him. He is the Best! Thank you so much Andy for making Our Special Day Extra Special!
