Rabbi Ken was truly the best rabbi and officiant I could have ever imagined. My husband and I wanted a Jewish wedding ceremony, but were adamant about getting married before sundown on a Saturday. We could not find any rabbi in a congregation who would agree to this, so we reached out to Rabbi Ken. From the first conversation we had with him, both of us felt immediately at ease. We met him in person aa couple of months later and he talked us through the whole process, completely customizing the ceremony to fit our needs. He was patient and flexible when our location, time, and size changed due to COVID-19. He was quick to respond to emails and willing to organize last-minute phone calls. When it came to the actual ceremony, he blew all expectations out of the water. After only a few hours of talking to us, he was able to capture us as a couple and tell our story beautifully. At the end of the ceremony, everyone in attendance noted what a phenomenal job he did. We also had many people attend via zoom, all of who commented on how much they appreciated how he explained all the Jewish customs. It is my pleasure to recommend Rabbi Ken for your wedding, he is not only outstanding with what he does but a truly kind and genuine human being. We feel so lucky to have met him and have him officiate our ceremony.

We loved working with Rabbi Ken throughout the process of our wedding. Rabbi Ken was willing to marry us on Shabbat when many other rabbis would not. This was important to us as an interfaith couple who did not want to get married on a Friday or Sunday. Prior to our wedding day, he explained every part of a Jewish wedding ceremony and worked with us to include the pieces that were important to us. He took the time to get to know us on a personal level and made the ceremony feel incredibly intimate for ourselves, our friends and our families. During our ceremony he made Judaism feel so accessible for all of our friends and family, Jews and non-Jews alike. One of our non-Jewish friends even said he felt like he was Jewish by the end of the ceremony. Rabbi Ken was funny and engaging; he brought humor, meanwhile paying respect to the Jewish traditions that we found important. We highly recommend Rabbi Ken!

Rabbi Ken was phenomenal to work with. We found him though wedding wire about 2 years ago when we got married. We knew from the first phone call he was perfect to officiate our interfaith wedding. We had a couple phone calls and then we met in person in Boston and talked for hours. It felt like we had known him forever. He did a great job at listening to our stories and to really understand us as a couple. He was so flexible when we moved our venue 2 months before our wedding. Our wedding ceremony was perfect. He did a great job making the ceremony so personal. He also did a great job explaining many of the Jewish traditions as there were many people there who were not jewish. Everyone came up to make after and said how amazing the ceremony was. Our wedding day would not have been the same without him!

Rabbi Ken officiated our holiday wedding in Newport, Rhode Island, in December 2019. We simply can’t overstate what a truly phenomenal job Rabbi Ken did, and how fortunate we feel to have had him as such an integral part of our Wedding day.
While we could go on and on, Haley and I wanted to share a few highlights in hopes it is helpful for any couples who are considering and/or lucky enough to work with Ken:

• From our first Facetime call almost a year prior to our Wedding day, we felt as though we’d known Ken much longer. He has a great disposition, he’s kind, funny, very giving of his time, and genuinely cared about getting to know us as individuals and as a couple. By the time our wedding had concluded and we received countless compliments of how beautiful our Ceremony was, many saying it was the best Ceremony they’d ever attended, one recurring misconception from our guests was that they thought Ken was my Rabbi from growing up and that he’d known us for years. Simply a testament to the time and care the Rabbi took to truly customizing our Ceremony to reflect Haley and I, make it something truly special, and that felt like us.
• While we decided early on that our ceremony would be rooted with cultural Jewish traditions and some prayer (reflecting my upbringing, but not my wife’s who is not Jewish, we also very much wanted the ceremony to be inclusive, accessible, and relatable to our guests of all faiths, and most importantly, feel like us. From very early on in our conversations, The Rabbi took us through each of the prayers and traditions, explaining the history and meaning where necessary. He also- and what we loved most- provided beautiful poetic translations of prayers, which had universal themes that are applicable to all couples on their wedding day, and were perfect for our ceremony. During the ceremony, he also did a fantastic job at explaining the meaning behind each prayer and/or portion of the ceremony. We never felt judged on what we chose to include or not include, and in fact felt like the Rabbi supported us in whatever decisions we made.
• There’s an “unsaid” responsibility of your Wedding officiant that is hard to properly convey here – This person sets the tone to one of the biggest moments in our lives. Ken seamlessly and perfectly balanced humor, heart, and relatability, with the significance and formality of the ceremony.

We are indebted to Ken for everything he did to make our wedding day all that we could have ever hoped for and more!

We knew we wanted a Jewish ceremony, but as a non-Jew and a not-practicing Jew, we weren't sure where to begin. Ken, through a series of fun and helpful planning calls, explained all of the traditions, and had us "pick and choose" which elements resonated with us. We added some personal elements, too, making it a perfect mix of personal & traditional. During the ceremony itself, Ken explained the traditions to our guests as well, which made it a fun and inclusive experience for everyone. Our ceremony was simply perfect, & many people said it was the best they'd been to. Everything about the process of planning and working with Ken was superb -- he's professional, always replies in a timely manner, etc. -- and we honestly just had a ball getting to know him. Highly, highly recommend!

We found Ken through our venue a year before the wedding and by the time we got married it felt like we had known each other for a much longer time. Ken spent the time to really get to know us through many meals and trips to Boston and lead our ceremony in a way that really represented our relationship and hopes for marriage. He wove in Judaism in ways that were reflective and honest. In a moment that could feel intimidating and formal, during the ceremony Ken made us feel comfortable and present. We still get texts saying "we love Rabbi Ken" and all of my mom's friends want him as their Rabbi.

Rabbi Ken really made an effort to get to know us and personalize the ceremony. We met multiple times in person and on the phone before the wedding. During the ceremony, he was engaging and made the rituals and traditions accessible for all guests. We loved working with him!

Originally, we hired another Rabbi who fell through at the last minute. At the eleventh hour, we found Rabbi Hahn online and reached out. He immediately responded and empathized with our situation, and although we only had a few months before the wedding to prepare, Rabbi Hahn got to truly know us as a couple in a short timeframe. He gave us homework and we did a few phone conferences so we could work out the fine details (procession and recession info, ketubah signing, ring exchange, ect.). Rabbi Hahn immediately got our sense of humor and our hope of keeping the ceremony light and happy. He was also flexible with how we wanted to keep some Jewish traditions but not others. Important to note as well that we were living in New York at the time and the ceremony was to be in Massachusetts -- Rabbi Hahn was extremely accommodating in facilitating phone, face time and in-person meetings as needed

Out of all the compliments received for the the wedding, a repeated compliment from guests was that it seemed as if the Rabbi had known us a long time and really had a sense of "us." In addition, immediately after the ceremony guests expressed how funny and charismatic he was. We have friends who are not-Jewish who expressed that they were impressed with how he explained each part of the ceremony, ensuring that they could understand the symbolism. All of this demonstrates clearly how much care he put into our ceremony. Not only was Rabbi Hahn a true pleasure to work with, he made our ceremony a highlight and our favorite part of the wedding. I cannot recommend Rabbi Hahn enough - truly a blessing!

When my then fiancée and I were planning our wedding we came to a bit of an impasse. It was important to her to have a Jewish wedding but I was hesitant about conversion. When we, on a whim, typed “Interfaith Rabbi” into Google I’m not sure what we were expecting but what we found certainly exceeded it. We read through a few of the top hits but when we got to Ken’s website something just clicked and we reached out to him immediately to see if he was free for the day of our wedding. He got back to us to let us know he had no prior engagements scheduled but that it was the weekend of his anniversary and he would need to clear it with his wife. She gave her blessing and we couldn’t be more grateful to both of them for sacrificing part of their big weekend to let him be a part of ours.
Once the date was set Ken reached out to set up a first meeting over the phone. In this meeting he gave us a rundown of all the typical parts of a ceremony for various levels of observation. He also made it clear that it was important to him to get to know us a bit in the time before our wedding and there would be several meetings to come. When we had time to digest the different options and decided on what we wanted for the ceremony we had a second in person meeting where we went through the plan and he asked us to speak a bit about ourselves and each other. I am not sure of exactly how many correspondences there were in total but he obliged all of our unwarranted concerns with incredible patience. He also took the time to read help us decide on the language of our Ketubah to ensure that it matched exactly what we wanted.
On the day of our wedding Ken met with us before the ceremony to sign the Ketubah and run through things one last time. The ceremony itself was perfect. He tailored the service specifically to what we had asked in terms of what to include or not and what language we were comfortable with. He made sure to explain the significance of every ritual and symbol in enough detail for the uninitiated without beating those in the know over the head. Right before our vows he spoke about us, recalling our conversations. It was clear that he had followed through on his earlier promise and truly gained amazing insight into who we were as individuals and a couple over the time we had known him.
Looking back it would be impossible to imagine our wedding without Ken. He was so integral to the planning of our ceremony both logistically and spiritually. We couldn’t even begin to count the compliments we received on him from attendees. We honestly cannot recommend him enough. Ken was a particularly good fit for our situation but I feel confident saying anyone who chooses Rabbi Hahn to officiate their event will be more than satisfied.

Rabbi Hahn was truly a pleasure to work with! From our first meeting, as he got to know both of us, to our calls closer to the wedding date, to the actual ceremony were were OVERJOYED with him as our Rabbi. Our guests have uniformly complimented us on him, saying it was one of their favorite services, and they loved how accessible and meaningful he made the Jewish traditions to everyone in attendance. He is charismatic, kind, knowledgable, flexible, and warm. We love Rabbi Hahn and couldn't have asked for better!
