Rabbi Meredith Cahn is a wedding officiant in Petaluma, California, who specializes in Jewish wedding ceremonies. I weave Jewish traditions with the personal elements of each couple into a unique and meaningful ceremony. I approach each couple and ceremony with respect and honor for culture, beliefs, and other intimate values. I pay special attention to including wedding guests who may or may not be Jewish.

In my over 100 weddings, most are interfaith, and several have been co-officiated with clergy of other traditions or religions, including Hindu priests, Protestant ministers, and Catholic priests. In those—as in all weddings—it is important to me that no one lies under the chuppah, so everyone is represented as authentically as possible.

I explain all the rituals so that both you and your guests can access the spiritual depths they represent and present the love you share.

Services Offered

I personalize each ceremony experience by meeting multiple times with each couple to know and understand your story and desires for the ceremony. I am available to perform officiating services for vow renewals, civil unions, non-religious, single-religion, and interfaith ceremonies. As a rabbi, I am a licensed wedding officiant.

Thank You Rabbi Cahn!!

Rabbi Cahn did a wonderful job officiating our wedding! From when we first reached out, Rabbi Cahn was communicative and helpful. She answered all of our questions, and helped us navigate all the components of a Jewish wedding to make sure we had the ceremony that we wanted. We really appreciated her openness to adapting the ceremony so it felt right for us, especially as only one of us is Jewish.

Rabbi Cahn truly made the ceremony special. She took the time to get to know us beforehand with both in-person and virtual meetings, so she could make our ceremony personal to us. It really made a difference!

Rabbi Meredith is the absolute best!!!

Rabbi Meredith is simply amazing. She officiated our wedding in 2022 and was truly wonderful throughout the process. However, that doesn't do her justice. Rabbi Meredith spent quality time getting to know us both individually and as a couple and wrote the most beautiful address that our close friends couldn't have written. Even more than doing a great job during the wedding day, Rabbi Meredith became a very dear friend and remains a very important person in our lives. She has a heart of gold and we're lucky to remain so close to her. I cannnot recommend her high enough. She's such a special human being. We genuinely love her and you will too.

Rabbi Meredith conducted the most beautiful, articulate, funny, meaningful, entertaining, and educational ceremony I have ever been witness to, and I have been shooting weddings for 14 years. She was so funny, so present and so articulate. Her ability to talk about the couple's history and what they meant to each other was amazingly beautiful. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting a meaningful and unforgettable ceremony that will be a pleasure to both them and their guests. She will enrich and deepen your wedding experience. As a wedding photographer I can also tell you that she is so engaged in the moment that her expressions add to the wedding photos in a great way! I love her and you will too!
