Rabbi Shai Sandler

Rabbi Shai contributed to making our wedding a meaningful and memorable experience. We are a senior couple, each with established families of our own. We had special requests of the rabbi regarding time, place, and desire to include children and grandchildren in comments during the ceremony. Rabbi Shai met with us a couple of times prior to the wedding. He took great care and made great effort in getting to get to know us, our family situation, and our preferences regarding inclusion and deletion of certain traditions. His officiating of the service and cantorial renditions made the day even more special. We appreciate Rabbi Shai and are confident that our relationship with him will extend beyond our nuptials.

Rabbi Shai was amazing!

Rabbi Shai was amazing for our ceremony. He was able to provide a short and sweet interfaith ceremony that both of our families loved, while keeping some Jewish traditions to us. We would highly recommend him!

Fantastic experience

Rabbi Shai officiated at our elopement in Las Vegas. He was incredibly responsive and helpful in ensuring we had everything we needed in order to have the perfect elopement wedding ceremony, Vegas style. His performance during the service was amazing. Marissa and I highly recommend Rabbi Shai!

Rabbi Shai great spiritual guide

It was a real pleasure working with Rabbi Shai. He is kind, caring , and knowledgeable. He spent a great deal of time prior to wedding meeting with my daughter and her fiancé - counseling them and preparing for the wedding ceremony. It was a beautiful, meaningful ceremony that we all enjoyed.

Fantastic Experience with Rabbi Shai

Our wedding planner introduced us to Rabbi Shai. We knew we wanted to be married by a rabbi, and be married on a Saturday before sundown, and Rabbi Shai fit both of those requests.
Rabbi Shai is warm, knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible. We met Rabbi Shai for one get-to-know you session before we hired him, and then for two marriage counseling sessions, and one meeting to discuss final logistics for our wedding. Rabbi Shai is always warm and welcoming and wanted to get to know my husband and I in order to make our ceremony more meaningful.
My husband and I were clear with what we wanted from our ceremony, and Rabbi Shai delivered. He chanted beautifully and the whole ceremony ran smoothly and efficiently, which was very important to my husband and I. He followed up promptly with our completed marriage license. The entire process start to finish was very easy with Rabbi Shai.

Beautiful Jewish ceremony in Las Vegas

Our ceremony with Rabbi Shai was everything we could have wanted. So many of our guests, many of them who had never been to a Jewish wedding before, told us they were amazed by how beautiful and heartfelt it was. Rabbi Shai did a fantastic job of making it meaningful, personal, and integrating traditional touches, all brought together by his beautiful singing voice. Our ketubah signing was also meaningful and very beautiful. We highly recommend him — one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Our new Rabbi for life!

Rabbi Shai was more than just our wedding officient. He is orthodox trained yet practices with a progressive modern, liberal, and spiritual vibe. I was raised conservative but my husband was raised without religion but was interested in having a Jewish home and family with me. We had great premarital counseling zooms with Rabbi Shai and he recommended ways to bring Judaism into our marriage and family in ways we love and will continue.

He was super responsive and communicative and reliable. He also brought a beautiful Ketubah for us. On the day of our wedding, our favorite part was the ceremony. Rabbi Shai gave us the most beautiful ceremony with a special touch where he had us send reasons why we wanted to marry each other ahead of time and then read them, instead of making our own vows. It really personalized the ceremony is a beautiful way that was stress free for us. He modernized Jewish customs but still kept it light yet traditional and easy to understand.

We couldn't have found a better Rabbi, not just for our wedding, but for our lives! We look forward to tuning into his zooms for holiday services since we live far away.

Amazing Expierence

Rabbi Shai was everything we wanted for an officiant for our wedding. He met with us several times before the event and we had a great relationship with him prior to the ceremony. I would highly recommend for someone looking for an accessible, inter-faith wedding that all can enjoy regardless of their faith.

The best rabbi we could have hoped for

Rabbi Shai performed our wedding ceremony a week ago and did an absolutely amazing job. His beautiful voice, his warm personality and his unique flexibility were everything we could have hoped for. Having both been married before we had other rabbis to compare him with. When we made an unusual request for the sake of the wedding video — namely to perform the end of the ceremony twice — he was totally accommodating. I would recommend him without reservations to anyone marrying in Las Vegas who needs a Reform Rabbi.
