Best officiant evvver!

Rabbi Sara Shonfeld is a wedding GURU!! Her personality and cheerfulness throughout the entire wedding process has made me feel the most excited about our Jewish ceremony! She is so kind, caring, thoughtful and light-hearted! Her professionalism and attention to detail was immaculate in every way. Our guests RAVED about how beautiful and intimate our ceremony was and the highlight being Rabbi Shonfeld! She made us laugh, cry and gave us the ceremony of our dreams :). One of my favorite moments was during the Ketubah signing where she sang beautiful and fun traditional Jewish songs where we laughed and danced. She also kept in touch with us after the wedding and now we are close friends! I can't wait to include her for all our future endeavors as she is truly a blessed and special person. Thank you Rabbi for all that you have done for us! WE LOVE YOU!! Love, The Rubin's

Great experience with Rabbi Sara!

My now-husband and I were so lucky to have found Rabbi Sara! She came recommended by a friend, and we are so glad we reached out to her. From the initial emails to our wedding day, Rabbi Sara has been nothing but kind, warm, and personable. On our initial Zoom meeting, she really took her time to get to know my husband and me and to explain her process. Since both of our families include people who are not Jewish, it was important to us that all of the traditions were explained and that everyone felt included in our day. Rabbi Sara was able to give us a meaningful Jewish wedding ceremony while also making sure that everyone in attendance understood the tradition and meaning behind it all. Rabbi Sara truly customized our ceremony, working closely with us to make sure everything resonated with who we were as a couple. Our Ketubah signing ceremony and the wedding ceremony are special memories that we will cherish always, thanks to Rabbi Sara! After the ceremony, several of our guests let us know how great she was. We highly recommend Rabbi Sara to any Jewish or interfaith couple looking for a ceremony that reflects who they are as a couple!
