    Rabbi Rayzel

    Rabbi Rayzel was wonderful to work with. We only had about a month to get everything together and she was super quick and flexible with us. We also loved that she let us pick and choose what kind of ceremony we wanted. She suggested some traditions, but did not push anything onto us. She's the perfect progressive Rabbi.

    Highly recommend!

    Rabbi Rayzel was absolutely amazing!! I grew up Jewish but my husband did not. I loved that Rabbi was more than willing to officiate our interfaith ceremony with many Jewish customs. She explained everything to us prior to the wedding and we met with her many times so that both my husband and I felt like we had known her for a while! She was prompt on the day of, led the most beautiful ketubah ceremony that my parents and in-laws loved, and then orchestrated an absolutely beautiful ceremony. The ceremony was the perfect length, included so many personalized moments for us as a couple and the guests of the wedding told us they enjoyed it as well. We couldn’t be happier to have gone with Rabbi and will definitely use her for baby namings and all events in the future!

    Rabbi Rayzel Raphael's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words! It was great day! Your family is so much fun, and you two are meant for each other. I loved learning about both of you. Stay in touch and thanks for the pictures !
