There are not enough words to describe how wonderful Rabbi Elyssa was. The whole process was thoughtful, and she provided such a grounding experience on our wedding day. She handled the chaos with grace and humor, and helped both my husband and I feel more in touch with Judaism. I truly can’t imagine the day without her. She is an excellent person who is excellent at her work. 1000000/10

We could not have asked for a more meaningful and personal experience working with Elyssa Cherney. From the moment we met her for coffee in Philadelphia, we knew she was someone special. She took the time to genuinely get to know us as a couple, our families, and what we wanted our ceremony to feel like.
Rabbi Elyssa has such a warm, calming, and thoughtful personality. She made the entire process feel personal and effortless, and she struck the perfect balance of heartfelt, spiritual, and joyful during our ceremony. So many guests came up to us afterward, saying how beautiful, authentic, and the ceremony felt, and that is completely because of her.
She brought incredible energy, kindness, professionalism, and care to every interaction. We are so grateful she was part of our wedding day and would recommend her wholeheartedly to any couple looking for someone who truly cares and makes the ceremony unforgettable.

Rabbi Elyssa Cherney officiated our wedding and did an amazing job. Leading up to the day she spent quality time with us learning about us as a couple, giving helpful advice (both wedding and non-wedding related), and helping us incorporate the Jewish traditions we wanted in our day while making it our own given our different heritages. She was knowledgeable and approachable (fun to be around, too!). In our ceremony service she thoughtfully wove everything she had learned about us into a meaningful personalized ceremony. Many of our guests commented on how great the service was and how much it reflected us as a couple. Thank you Rabbi Elyssa!

Rabbi Elyssa was an incredible officiant. She led a beautiful ceremony that incorporated Jewish traditions and personal anecdotes. She also led a very special Ketubah signing before the ceremony. My favorite part, though, was when she guided my husband and me in a private grounding meditation and prayer. This truly helped calm my anxiety and feel ready for the festivities. We also had multiple meetings before the wedding, and she was always available for any questions that came up. I highly recommend Rabbi Elyssa for any life event!

Rabbi Elyssa was truly amazing! She took the time to get to know my husband and I both as a couple and as individuals. Our ceremony was unique and tailored to us. Rabbi Elyssa was also wonderful at guiding us through the components of a Jewish wedding so that we could incorporate the traditions that spoke to us. We could not recommend Rabbi Elyssa enough!!

We knew Rabbi Elyssa was the best choice from our first meeting. She was eager to get to know us; attentive to our needs as an interfaith, interracial couple; and always responsive when we had a question. During the chaos of wedding planning, she was always reassuring and kept us centered. Just before the ceremony, within the marathon of the wedding day, Rabbi Elyssa pulled us aside and gave us a much needed moment of silent meditation. After the ceremony, all of our guests - and we mean all of them - came up to us and told us how it was possibly the best ceremony they'd ever been a part of. It was intimate, spiritual, and had a gravity that struck everyone in the room. We could not recommend Rabbi Elyssa more.

Rabbi Cherney was kind, thorough and patient with us as we prepared for our wedding. Because we are an interfaith couple, Rabbi Cherney took her time explaining the rituals and their meaning, underscoring the importance of our wedding beyond the big party. During the ceremony, she was a calming presence that helped guide us through the process without any stress. Her words during our ceremony were beautiful, and brought laughter and happy tears to everyone in attendance. Our loved ones have repeatedly told us that the ceremony was one of the best they have attended.

Thank you Rabbi Elyssa for the most beautiful meaningful wedding day. I should start by mentioning I am not Jewish. My partner is, but I am by no means an expert on any traditions least of all wedding ceremonies. Rabbi Elyssa made what I perceived to be very nerve wracking experience previously, fun and interesting. She patiently answered my questions, took the time to get to know us, and worked with us on our ceremony structure. We LOVED our wedding day with her. Before our Ketubah signing she took us for a meditative grounding moment which was one of our favorite parts of the whole day. It set the tone for the absolute beautiful ceremony that followed. She worked wonderful with my pastor to create a special interfaith ceremony from both our religions. We got so much feedback on how much people enjoyed it from both sides! I love Jewish ceremonies and am thrilled we could incorporate some tradition in. We will remember it forever. We also loved getting to meet with Rabbi Elyssa so much! She is funny, serious when need be, and calm. We really enjoyed getting to know her and working with her. Thank you so much for everything!

Everything we could ask for in a Rabbi and more . Kindness, patience, understanding, and wisdom. She helped create a successful wedding, despite wardrobe malfunctions, and a lightbulb that would not break.

Rabbi Elyssa made our wedding ceremony even more special than we could have imagined. She took the time to get to know us beforehand and guided us to find deeper meaning in our wedding and our future marriage. Guests were commenting on how beautiful the ceremony she conducted was. I would recommend her to anyone!
