In Praise of Cantor Stettner

As a same-sex couple who have never entered into marriage before -- I'm 55, my husband is 56, we've been together 20 years -- Cantor Stettner really did lead us on a journey. It was grounded, always, while at the same time deeply reflective, thoughtful and spiritual. We wanted a service that would reflect who we are and what we share, and we're both so grateful that we were heard and felt so full of joy and celebration. It was intense! And we're grateful. Thank you.

Everything more and than some

I can talk about Cantor Stettner’s professionalism or the quality of her service, but both were outstanding. To me what sets her apart is the connection we made with her. She took the time to know about us, and learned what we wanted. After our friends and family watched our service via Zoom, many of them stated that it was fabulous that we had a friend conducting it. That is how warm and personal she was. That is how it felt.

Informative, professional, and kind!

Cantor Ellen worked with us for multiple months leading up to our wedding, educating us on various Jewish traditions, the ceremony flow, the meaning of the Ketubah, and getting to know us individually and as a couple. We really enjoyed our meetings with Cantor Ellen and always felt giddy and excited for the big day afterwards, and she produced a very kind, warm ceremony day-of. We are so grateful!

4.3.21 - We love Cantor Ellen!

Cantor Ellen is organized, calm, patient, informative, honest, considerate, friendly and an overall positive energy to be around.

I knew from the moment we spoke on the phone, that she would be the perfect person to help facilitate our wedding.

She met with us on the phone as many times as we wanted, she ensured we understood what would be going on during our ceremony and ketubah signing, she brought a pen for our ketubah signing (which was very helpful), she ensured to make copies of our marriage license and mailed the original herself !

Cantor Ellen organized a personal and informative wedding ceremony. She recited our personalized vows for us.

Since our wedding, many people have commented on how lovely Cantor Ellen performed our ceremony.

I look forward to keeping in touch with her, and intertwining her in other simchas in our life.

Thank you, Cantor Ellen!

Cantor Stettner was highly recommended... and a lived up to it

Cantor Stettner took the time to meet with us so she could completely understand our desires for our wedding and ceremony, and to be certain that she met our needs. We could not have been any more ecstatic of how she completely catered to our needs and the warmth of the service. It was customized for us. She captured us...

My wife and I had a great experience with Ellen. With all the chaos and anxiety that goes into a planning a wedding, Ellen was a voice of reason promising that everything will be fine, and she was right. She was great and I had many people after the wedding paying compliments to her.

When My husband and I met with Ellen for the first time we instantly hit it off. She truly cared about making the ceremony to fit our needs and what we were looking for. She was always a phone call away and really guided us through the whole process. We 100% recommend her and feel so blessed to have had her for a once in a lifetime moment.

Cantor Ellen Stettner is the consummate professional and at the same time extremely warm and personable. My fiancé and I met with Cantor Ellen several times before our wedding.

What a wedding!

...and what an officiant! We were very nervous when our original officiant (a close family friend) told us they wouldn't be able to attend our wedding. We were unsure how to find someone we connected with and trusted to lead such an important part of our day. Well, we really lucked out with Cantor Ellen. She was available to us for multiple meetings (including one in her home!), asked important questions, and was genuinely interested in us and our relationship. The result was a beautiful ceremony that represented our love and values as a couple. Our family and friends were blown away by the service as well. We can't recommend her highly enough. Many, many thanks Ellen!

Kind and understanding

She was very kind and understood the atmosphere and message we wanted to convey during our ceremony as we are an interfaith couple. She gave us many options and suggestions but never pushed her opinion. At the ceremony she was lovely and sang and made jokes where everyone felt included.

Wow. So glad that we found Ellen

Perfect that is the word that comes to mind regarding our experience with Ellen. She was a pleasure to work with and made our most important day even more wonderful I have never been to a wedding where so many guests spoke about how special the ceremony was. Her voice is beautiful, her messages are pertaining and timely, and overall she is just a kind and caring person. Thank you so much Ellen.

Cantor Ellen Stettner

Cantor Ellen was wonderful with us!!! Our wedding was very small but she made it great!! Since the first time we met her, we knew she was the right person for our wedding. She explained to us every single part in f the ceremony so we could decide what we wanted knowing the meaning. In addition, since I am not an English speaker, she helped me to be sure about what I said during the ceremony. She always made us feel that our wedding was really important for her!!

Cantor Ellen performed and amazing ceremony

We found Cantor Ellen on WeddingWire about a year before our wedding. We immediately loved her and knew she would be perfect to marry us. We met several times throughout the year and grew a great relationship with her. The ceremony was perfect and we would highly recommend her to anyone getting married.

Cantor Ellen Stettner performed a beautiful, meaningful ceremony for us. She took the time to ask us about our meeting and our past. I felt she wanted to know us. She is a very warm, caring person.
The ceremony took place in her garden. It was very beautiful. Her singing and prayers were wonderful. We said our own vows.
The experience was so meaningful to us.
We are proud to recommend her.

I can't express how fantastic and moving my ceremony was! Ellen Stetner is a rare breed. Her sensitivity and attention to detail is unmatched. I can't begin to tell you how moved I was and how moved the guests were during her service. Oftentimes ceremonies are quite boiler plate. Ellen took the time to get to know myself and my groom, and tailored the service specifically to us. What a joy! She is an incredible cantor and spiritual leader,

My wife and I loved working with Cantor Ellen! From our first conversation she was warm, welcoming, and completely supporting. She asked great questions and took time to learn about us as both a couple and as individuals-- something that really shone through in the service. After months of working together we had a good idea of how the service would flow, but it's hard to know what it will be like until you're there. Cantor Ellen was great in leading the service, keeping us calm, and setting the perfect tone for our marriage moving forward. We can't thank Cantor enough for working with us!

Ellen recently co-officiated my wedding. She went above and beyond to make my fiance and I feel comfortable with all religious aspects of our wedding throughout the whole process. When I said that I'd like her to sing while I walked down the aisle, she came up with a beautiful suggestion. I fell in love with the tune but had a hard time finding music to accompany her. Ellen went above and beyond my expectations, and connected me with the composer who graciously recorded guitar accompaniment for us. Her beautiful voice, kind words, and friendship certainly elevated our wedding day.

Ellen Stettner is so incredible, I have a hard time coming up with the right combination of words to describe how amazing she was before, during, and after our wedding. From day one, she was incredibly personable, heartfelt, and sensitive to our planning process. We got married in Pittsburgh, so we had a few wedding planning calls with Ellen via Skype and the phone. She not only spoke with my wife, but also spoke with my parents on occasion to discuss questions and details they may have. Ellen embodies the true spirit of tikkun olam, she is leader, a healer, and thoughtful person who truly cares about the people around her. On top of her amazing professionalism and wonderful personality, Ellen has a heavenly voice. Hearing her sing the Sheva Brachot under the hupa was a highlight of the wedding ceremony, and something I will treasure always. If you are thinking about using Ellen as clergy for your wedding, do not think twice! She will be helpful, warm, and embracing every step of the way. If I could give her more than five stars, I would!!

Along with her knowledge of the Jewish rituals required in the wedding ceremony she has a wonderful approach to the partners in marriage..Her words in the ceremony make you feel that your marriage is "the marriage" important not only to you but all who are present to witness this blessed event…Her voice is beautiful and the choice of her music is wonderful…I also was most impressed how Ellen took control of the wedding and made sure that it ran smoothly..It was professional and elegant..Our guests were equally impressed with her skillful language , music , and professional conduct . After interviewing other candidates for our marriage, we found Ellen immediately responsive to our feelings about what we wanted in our marriage ceremony. I would not hesitate to recommend Cantor Ellen to any couple considering someone who will join them in marriage.

Cantor Ellen conducted the most beautiful and special wedding for us! She spent quality time getting to know us and made our ceremony unique and wonderful. We had guests from every religious background and all were drawn in and deeply moved. Cantor Ellen's warmth was invaluable in helping me stay calm on my big day! She is an incredible person with a huge heart and I truly feel you will cherish your ceremony as I do mine.

Cantor Ellen Stettner is an amazing officiant!!! She created a personal ceremony for us that reflected each of our backgrounds and personal beliefs. She reached into our souls by taking the time to know us personally and reflected that to us in a beautiful mosaic wrapped by God! Everyone at our wedding said that it was the most beautiful and moving ceremony they had ever witnessed that was brought to life through Cantor Ellen's vision and ability to move people through her voice of song and loving words reflecting God's love for all Faiths attending! She is truly a blessing providing a blessing to all!!!! Amazing!

Cantor Ellen Stettner had a beautiful memorial service for my father. It was very personal and meant a lot to the family. He loved how she was the officiant of our wedding and she spoke highly and personally about my dad.

I can't say enough about Cantor Ellen. She met with us several times to get to know us. She also writes a personal ceremony that reflects who you are as a couple. Not cookie cutter like some clergy may give you. Our ceremony was interfaith and many people had never been to a Jewish ceremony, she was able to inspire and make everyone feel comfortable. People can't stop talking about how beautiful the ceremony was and how her words have made them reflect over the last several days since. I would recommend her to anyone and hope to stay in touch with her, she is a lovely human being.

We had an mixed Faith wedding.
Everyone, everyone was comfortable and Happy with the way Cantor Stettner conducted the ceremony.
People asked me where I could have possibly found someone who exudes such love, warmth and kindness.
We were lucky to have Cantor Stettner officiating the ceremony.

Cantor Ellen Stettner is simply the best. She has a beautiful voice. And delivers a beautiful service, according to the needs of the couple. She knew my son from his bar mitzvah, but had not seen him for 18 years. His fiancee was not Jewish and had not met her before. Cantor Stettner worked with the kids to tailor a spiritual service that combined traditional elements with the couple's ideas and suggestions. Since the cantor lives in Florida, the couple was in California (and the actual wedding took place in Brooklyn), she met with them several times via Skype. As is rarely the case nowadays, the ceremony actually WAS the best part of the wedding. Other attendees told us that they were deeply moved by the ceremony. As were we.

Cantor Stettner was truly amazing!

She took the time to get to know us and guide us in the months leading up to our wedding. She listened to us and really considered what we had to say. Her thoughts on "the day of" and marriage in general were great --- they really got us thinking about why we love one another and why we wanted to be married.

She made my wife, who is not Jewish, feel comfortable with everything religious. Further, everyone in attendance, Jewish and non-Jewish, was thrilled. She has a gift for making everyone feel welcome and important.

(On top of that - she flew about 1000 miles for our event!!!)

We love Cantor Stettner and plan to stay in touch!

What makes Cantor Ellen so special is that she does not conduct a typical "cookie cutter" ceremony. She makes it her business to get to know the couple and learn as much about them as she can. The ceremony was warm and personalized and it was evident to everyone in attendance how much Cantor Ellen truly cares and how special she makes it for the bride and groom.

Cantor Stettner was excellent. She met with us several times to get to know us so she could make the ceremony truly relevant to our history. She was warm and down to earth and truly caring about making our day special. Our wedding date was only set and planned two weeks before the ceremony so she was really challenged by the uncertainty and fluidity of the plans but she rose to it and worked with us to make it all successful and truly memorable for us and our families.

Cantor Ellen Stettner performed our daughters wedding this past month. Ellen exhibited such warmth and sincerity from the first time we met her. Our daughter and son-in-law felt a connection with Ellen right from the beginning as well. They met with Ellen throughout the year leading up their wedding. We were so happy that they felt so connected and chose to meet with Ellen to discuss their ceremony on numerous occasions. Ellen really took the time to get to know Lisa and Matt. Our guests at the wedding were overwhelmed by the beauty and warmth of her service- as were we as well!

Thank you Ellen for playing such a very special part of Lisa and Matt's wedding!

Fondly,
Barbara and Victor Kalafa

Cantor Stettner officiated at a vow renewal ceremony in honor of our 25th wedding anniversary. She did a fantastic job. She met with us prior to the event so she could tailor the ceremony based on our preferences. It was very personalized - not at all a cookie cutter ceremony. I put out packets of tissue on each seat for the ceremony. It was a good thing. Everyone was in tears. The ceremony was very meaningful, sentimental & beautiful. Even Our non-Jewish friends were enchanted by Cantor Stettner. It was a very special, magical, meaningful & unforgettable event. Everything completely exceeded our expectations. It was almost like getting married all over again - but after 25 years the vows have a lot more meaning.

Cantor Ellen exceeded our expectations and gave us the most beautiful wedding ceremony. We were touched at how unique and personal she made it and we were so grateful for the extra time she spent meeting and getting to know us several months before the wedding.

Many of our guests pulled us aside during our reception and complimented us on our choice to pick her to perform the ceremony. Everyone agreed that she sang so beautifully and made the event very enjoyable with her special words. Cantor Ellen truly made our wedding ceremony a perfect one.

Cantor Ellen Stettner is amazing. From guiding us through the complexities of completing our ketubah to the beautiful love song she sang as our wedding party proceeded down the aisle to the heartfelt humor and warmth she added throughout the ceremony--Cantor Ellen was always available and truly guided us on this journey. I would have been lost without her!

Ellen struck a perfect balance of warmth, seriousness, openness, and humor. With her beautiful voice and thoughtful words, she kept me grounded and calm. The ceremony was religious but accessible. And our guests were clearly moved. Even some of my non-Jewish friends want to get married "jewishly" now!

I literally danced my way back down the aisle to Cantor Ellen's voice as our friends and family witnessed our first walk as husband and wife!

We can’t begin to thank you enough for officiating our interfaith wedding. We knew we wanted a very special person to fill this important role and after the wonderful experience my mom and I had becoming adult Bat Mitzvah, we knew you were the perfect choice! And perfect you were!! You made everyone, regardless of denomination, feel like they were a part of something beautiful. From taking the time beforehand to meet with us and get to know as a couple, to including my children and in-laws in the ceremony; every step was a positive experience. Your warm words and beautiful voice left an impact on everyone, especially us, and we are forever grateful to you for making our wedding day so memorable!

Jonathan and I could not have asked for a better Cantor to officiate our wedding than Cantor Ellen Stettner. Cantor Stettner took the time to get to know us and help plan our wedding ceremony. She even let us use one of her treasured tallit for our wedding Chuppah. Cantor Ellen Stettner is extremely kind and professional. We would recommend for and Jewish ceremony or celebration.

Cantor Ellen Stettner was the officiant at my daughters wedding in March. She is truly remarkable. People are still telling me how wonderful the ceremony was. Cantor Ellen worked with the kids when they were in town and several times through skype. She really got to know them personally. They talked of history, traditions, and the type of service they would like. She incorporated everything they requested into the ceremony. Her singing voice is truly angelic. She had given them suggestions to do and she was right about everything. Cantor Ellen became part of our family for the day and I hope forever. I would recommend her for any type of wedding. She is inspiring and a true professional.

Cantor Ellen Stettner performed a wonderful wedding ceremony for my husband and me. She was accommodating with all of our requests and personalized the ceremony so that it felt like it was written especially for us. We used my husband's tallit from his Bar Mitzvah as the chuppah and my grandfather’s Kiddush cup which made it feel as if we had our families with us even though we had “eloped.”

I was able to speak directly to my husband during the ceremony which further personalized the ceremony. Even though I had told him how I felt many times over the last few years, it meant so much to be able to say it under the chuppah.

Our original plan was to get married in Las Vegas, but we decided against that because we wanted a Jewish wedding. As it turned out, we are so glad that we changed our minds and decided to be married in Boca with Cantor Ellen officiating. We will cherish our wedding forever.

Ellen gave us the most beautiful, memorable, emotional wedding imaginable. Her voice soared as she wrapped us in a tallis. She spoke of us personally. She was sensitive to all the nuances of a second marriage. She made the day unforgettable. And her warmth to all was positively infectious -- our guests LOVED her!

Wow! When Jarrod and I selected Cantor Ellen to marry us, I didn't know what to expect. We live in Chicago and were being married in Florida so my mom was the one working with all our vendors on a day-to-day basis. Ellen made it a point to make sure she knew us despite the distance between us. Every time we were in Florida she met with us to talk about us as a couple, explain the Jewish ceremony and walk us through what would happen at our ceremony. Not only did she take the time to meet with us in Florida, but she would Skype us as well. She also told us where to get our Ketubah (and it is absolutely gorgeous) and reminded us to get our marriage license. The day of the wedding, Cantor Ellen was amazing. All of our friends and family raved about how personal the ceremony felt. You would've thought that Ellen had known us since the days we were born and her singing was beautiful. If you want a beautiful ceremony with someone that takes the time to get to know you, definitely work with Cantor Ellen Stettner.

Cantor Stettner was very accomodating and agreed to officiate at our wedding a week before our nuptials! She was very energetic, took the time on the phone with us to get to know us and our history together as well as give us an endearing assignment to share our separate view of our love for each other so she could better understand us but then also share with each other after our special celebration. She was also very open to our interfaith marriage and worked with our Catholic priest.
