About

Heartfelt, creative, inclusive, & joyous officiant!

Co-creating your wedding ceremony to uniquely reflect YOUR love story!

Are you a couple who believes...

  • Your wedding day will be a joyous intimate connection between you and your favoritest person in the whole world. You want your officiant to know you as a couple--sharing stories, values, sticky moments, hopes...working with someone who cares a ton about a deep relationship with couples sounds perfect.

  • You can’t wait to stand on top of that mountain and declare your love for each other, you’re just unsure about how to include your financee’s devoted Lutheran family and your culturally Jewish one.

  • You love your religious background, and just connect more to your own spirituality in nature. You can’t wait to honor both at your fully customized wedding.

  • You want all of those really cool Jewish symbols explained, or your interfaith beliefs illuminated, and eagerly await your whole fabulous, wacky family participating!

  • Receiving practical support around common relationship sticky spots, personal growth dreams, and creating a pre-wedding ritual in nature sound fantastic.

  • A ceremony that’s anything but stuffy--it's playful, lights you up, & celebrates interfaith & LGBTQ couples!

Details:

  • Getting to know couples more deeply and creating a ceremony that speaks to your ideals is a core part of my wedding process.

  • I meet 7-10 times with couples in order to create this personal relationship.

  • Conversations explore everything from how each of your similarities and differences strengthen your union, to financial decision making, crafting the wording for your wedding covenant, personal growth dreams, commitment to social justice, and how you envision celebrating holidays together.

  • Honored to officiate LGBTQ wedding ceremonies, I will help you create a ceremony that reflects your values as a couple. I am also a proud member of the LGBTQ community.

***

What magic could happen if the foundation of your wedding planning rests in your values as a couple and your officiant helps you stay true to them?!

    Non-Traditional, Personalized Jewish Elopement

    Rabbi Marshall helped us plan a unique Jewish elopement that was perfect for and personalized to us. We are from Boston, MA and eloped in Boulder, CO; she came to visit us in person in Boston prior to our ceremony, which we really appreciate. Our Zoom classes were very meaningful and spiritual. We feel a strong connection with Rabbi Marshall and highly recommend her!

    A fantastic experience

    We feel so fortunate to have found Rabbi Marshall for our wedding. Every part of the process was incredibly thoughtful and she went above and beyond to accommodate our preferences and make the sessions before, the ketubah signing, and the ceremony feel unique and special to us. We heard from so many of our guests how wonderful they thought she was in leading the ceremony. She is responsive, instantly familiar, and a joy to work with. Any couple would be lucky to have her be part of their special day and lives.

    It was a deep honor and delight to honor the amazing couple that you are and create a ceremony that captured the beauty and depth of your love. Getting to know the two of you (especially on a bicycle) was such a joy. Looking forward to hearing about all of life's wonderful adventures!

    A wonderfully personalized and meaningful Ceremony

    Rabbi Jessica Marshall saw us through all of the ups and downs of planning our wedding, ceremony, and lives together. She took the time to counsel us, teach us, and get to know us, as both individuals and as a couple. She will certainly be a part of our lives moving forward, and played an incredible, poignant role in our wedding ceremony. We full-heartedly recommend her!

    Getting to know you both, your love story, and creating a ceremony that captured everything wonderful about you two was a deep honor! Very much looking forward to staying in touch and hearing about all of your wonderful adventures! All my love.
