Rabbi Janice is the best

My husband and I are so thankful that we had Rabbi Janice to make our wedding so special! So many of our guests came up to us and told us what a phenomenal job she did during the ceremony. We weren’t expecting the ketubah signing to be such a touching part of our day, but it was one of the most memorable parts of our wedding! Rabbi Janice made us feel at ease throughout the entire planning and preparation process and we are so happy with how everything turned out! She even guided us through some pre-marital counseling topics and we are looking forward to keeping in touch with her throughout our life’s big events.

Rabbi Janice is wonderful!

We can't say enough about how wonderful Rabbi Janice was as our officiant. She created a warm, intimate feeling during our ceremony and did a beautiful job of including and explaining tradition and ritual. Our ceremony was exactly what we wanted, and our guests loved her! Rabbi Janice was one of the highlights of our wedding, both for us and our guests. We recommend her to anyone seeking a personal, thoughtful officiant.

Rabbi Janice Made our Wedding Perfect

Rabbi Janice made our wedding day truly special. She worked with us extensively prior to the day to make sure the ceremony was everything we wanted. Her kindness, warmth, faith, and genuine appreciation for love set the tone for the ceremony. Using our responses to a questionnaire she gave us, she crafted the most beautiful passage to read about our unique love that had everyone in tears! When there was a mixup with the marriage license, she came to our hotel the next day to make sure everything was taken care of. She brought a chuppah and helped set it up during the chaos before the ceremony. An incredible cantor, officiant, and human being, Rabbi Janice made our wedding magical. I cannot recommend her enough.

Perfect Officiant

Having Rabbi Janice officiate our wedding was an absolute dream. I am Jewish but my husband is not and Janice made him feel at ease through the entire ceremony planning process. She presented us with a ceremony template and encouraged us to make it our own. She completely accepted our changes and I could not be happier with how perfectly our Ketubah and wedding ceremony went. It's been six months and family and friends are still commenting on how lovely and personal it was.

Janice officiated my wedding July 2018 and I could not have been happier with her service. Janice was supportive in our meetings ahead of time and I felt comfortable and prepared for my wedding. Janice was a voice of calm in the stressful moments leading up to our ceremony. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a rabbi for a wedding ceremony, Thank you Janice for everything!!
