Everything we could have dreamed of for our interfaith wedding!
Rabbi Marshall was everything we could have ever dreamed of and more for our wedding officiant. We were nervous about finding an officiant who would fit our exact needs as an interfaith couple. Rabbi Marshall exceeded our expectations and we could not feel more lucky to have found her. She was extremely open and honest and gave great insight during our sessions and always listened intently. She allowed us to make our ceremony exactly how we wanted it to be and never made us feel pressured to include jewish elements that we didn't want. She was open to helping us with anything we needed during the process and provided the most warm and safe space to open up to her to discuss whatever we wanted. She had great communication throughout our entire process and was always flexible when we needed to switch up meeting times. Rabbi Marshall is truly a special person and we feel so lucky to have had her as such an important part of our wedding.

Deeply Personal Ceremony!
Rabbi Marshall truly made our wedding planning journey and ceremony so incredibly special. She is so easy to connect with and helped us to dig deeper into ourselves as individuals and as a couple to enrich our relationship. Our ceremony was so personal and deeply routed in who we are as a couple. This translated and was felt whole heartedly throughout our ceremony. Rabbi Marshall went above and beyond to create a personalized ceremony that was unique to us. We can't wait to continue our relationship with her as we embark on this next chapter.
