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

Best Rabbi Out There!

We cannot express enough gratitude for Rabbi Sara, who stepped in just 29 days before our wedding when our original rabbi unexpectedly dropped out. From the very first conversation, it was clear we were in the best possible hands. Rabbi Sara brought not only calm and clarity during a stressful moment, but also an incredible warmth and spiritual presence that resonated with everyone.
She masterfully blended both the Jewish and Catholic traditions in a way that felt deeply personal, meaningful, and entirely seamless. Our families and guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and inclusive the ceremony was. It felt like us—authentic, respectful of our backgrounds, and full of love.
Rabbi Sara truly saved the day. We believe everything happens for a reason, and having her as part of our journey was nothing short of special. She was not only our officiant, but is now a part of our lives forever!
If you’re lucky enough to have Rabbi Sara officiate your wedding, know that you are in the most caring, genuine, and professional hands. She’s a rare gem and we can’t express how thankful we are to have found her!

Rabbi Sara was THE highlight of our wedding!

I cannot recommend Rabbi Sara enough. She was so kind, understanding, and helpful throughout the process leading up to our wedding, and absolutely NAILED the ceremony. Our guests cried, laughed, and gave endless compliments about her officiating throughout the wedding and the days after. We actually have been asked multiple times for her contact information for our friends who are engaged. Many of our guests assumed we had known Rabbi Sara our whole life even though we just met this year for our wedding. Thank you, Rabbi Sara, for making our wedding ceremony so memorable and wonderful. We love you!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
