    Personable and warm

    Susan was truly wonderful performing our marriage ceremony. She included in it our vows preferences, the history of our relationship and growth of our feelings toward each other . Her backyard was a beautiful backdrop to the ceremony, and even her small sweet dog welcomed us heart fully. We highly recommend her services done with consideration, inclusion and tolerance!

    Susan is amazing!

    Susan was a dream to work with. Upon planning our wedding as an interfaith couple, we were unsure about how we could integrate our different family cultures, religions, and traditions into our wedding ceremony. Susan's expertise and professionalism helped us to create the perfect ceremony that reflected us as a couple and joined together our families, while valuing everyone's backgrounds. Something we also appreciated about Susan was her genuine desire to get to know us as a couple. We had several meetings with her before our wedding day, which helped us become comfortable with each other and helped her get to know us better. Susan was also so easy to contact and answered all of our questions with ease. Not only did we love Susan, but our guests gave us so many compliments on the ceremony and everyone thought it was beautiful. We could not recommend Susan enough!nShe was truly a blessing to work with.

    Loved working with Susan!

    Finding the perfect officiant is hard, but we lucked out with Susan. She was an absolute joy to work with. She was always prepared, compassionate, and understanding. Having not known her prior, she took the time to learn about us and our journey as a couple, making us feel special every step of the way. When the big day came, she was a total rockstar. Multiple guests remarked that she led the best ceremony they'd ever attended. Maybe they were just being nice, but after working one-on-one with Susan, I can vouch that her care and authenticity are palpable with every interaction. Hire her!

    Amazing & Fantastic

    Susan is so easy to speak to and be around. My wife is a little uneasy around new people and she was so at ease with Susan. We met her a few times prior to our wedding day and each time she provided great advice and really took the time to get to know us! During the ceremony she provided an excellent service and we all loved it. Highly recommend working with Susan.

    Perfect day in the rain

    We travelled over from Scotland and only met Susan on Webex before the ceremony. Susan was accomplished and proficient and we could not have hoped for someone as nice as Susan to marry us. She tailored the ceremony to our specific needs which showed she had taken time, patience and love to help make our day special. We wanted to get married in Boston Gardens and despite the heavy rain and needing to shelter in the gardens, swan boat launch, she embraced everything we wanted to make sure it was our special day.

    Calm, Kind, Warm, and Excellent!

    Susan was incredible! She was so kind, open, professional, responsive, and we simply loved having her as the Justice of the Peace at our small ceremony. We are so thrilled we went with Susan. Her ability to personalize the ceremony, her warm demeanor, and her guidance made the event wonderful. Thank you for making our day so special, Susan!

    Top-notch, fun and professional!

    Susan was terrific to work with from the start. We had a tiny, unconventional ceremony drawing from several traditions, and she enthusiastically helped craft a ceremony that reflected both of our backgrounds. She was also great at identifying links between our interests and traditions to help us create something that was uniquely us. She took the time to get to know us and things that are important to us, and incorporated them into a beautiful reading. She was professional all the way, too, helping us navigate the process of getting our marriage paperwork completed smoothly. Highly recommend, 10/10!

    Beautifully personal ceremony with exceptional care and professionalism

    Susan was an absolute blessing as our justice of the peace, and we are beyond grateful for the beautiful ceremony she created for us. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life in a way that felt deeply personal and meaningful. The ceremony, held in the Arnold Arboretum, was everything we hoped for and more.

    Susan’s warmth and genuine care shone through in every moment, especially during her reading of a Rumi poem that touched our hearts. Her ability to make the ceremony feel so special and intimate is something we will cherish forever. Our family is still talking about how perfect the day was, thanks to Susan.

    Throughout the entire process, she was incredibly responsive and attentive. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day, and having Susan as a part of it was truly a joy. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your special day with the utmost care and professionalism, we wholeheartedly recommend Susan!

    The most magical ceremony

    From the very beginning, Susan 2”was a pleasure to work with. Even though we had never met before this process, she took the time to really get to know us to create a magical ceremony that perfectly captured our love. We feel so grateful to have Susan as a part of our love story!!

    June 2024 Wedding

    There seems to be a trend of having friends of family officiant weddings, but working with Susan felt like a dear friend was our officiant. We had a long planning process and she spent a lot of time getting to know us. With every call, meeting, and email, we felt more and more like she understood who we were and what was important to us in our relationship. She offered suggestions for readings and asked us questions that became the inspiration for parts of our vows. During the ceremony, she created moments for us to take deep breaths and connect with our loved ones. We laughed and we cried in what was a beautiful and transcendent moment for us. We’re so grateful for Susan and everything she put into making our wedding ceremony so special and perfect for us.

    Great experience!!

    We used Susan for our micro-wedding and it was a great experience. We simply booked a date, had a meeting with Susan, and then had the wedding. During the meeting she gets to know you, assesses your vibe, and then tailors her monologue based on that. For us, she prepared some nice words, a poem, and a unique-feeling ceremony for us. The process was pain-free and she was incredibly pleasant to interact with. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face and make your family get emotional. Thumbs up

    Wonderful experience!

    I reached out to Susan for my fiance's and my "city hall" style wedding (our actual wedding isn't for another year or so). At first we were expecting it to be very transactional, but after some thought, we decided to invite our parents and my sibling. Susan understood EXACTLY what we needed. She did prep work to understand both of our histories and family cultures, and injected just the right amount of pomp into a brief ceremony appropriate for the small group. Scheduling and logistics was super easy and convenient. Everyone who attended thought she was friendly and an excellent officiator. I expect Susan's ability to understand her cleints' needs and execute on them would extend up to the largest of large weddings too. Highly recommend!

    The most beautiful ceremony!

    Susan was truly wonderful to work with and made our ceremony so special and personal. We wanted our ceremony to reflect us as a couple and include a few aspects of a traditional Jewish wedding and Susan helped guide us to make it happen! We got so many compliments from guests on our ceremony!! It was PERFECT.

    Guillermo & Joseph

    Susan, thank you for the kind and thoughtful way in which you officiated our wedding. We felt so loved, so special. It was a beautiful day, surrounded by people we loved, just as we had hoped it would be. The ceremony felt personal and reflected our love for each other. Thank you for capturing so many important things about us to share with our family on this special day.

    We’ve lost count of the number of times we’ve said how lucky we feel to have found you, and how happy we are we got to work with you on this special day.

    We were reading the ceremony remarks one more time ❤ and can’t help it but smile at feel so grateful.

    Thank you for approaching each conversation with so much curiosity about us and our journey, for your patience, and for your flexibility as weather affected our plans last minute.

    Wonderful experience

    Susan was very easy to be in touch with all along the way: initial introduction, a couple of Zoom meetings, of course the ceremony itself, as well as occasional questions before and after the wedding. Susan is an incredibly warm person and it felt like she has known us and has been a long-time friend from the moment we met each other. Furthermore, she is absolutely professional - every detail of the ceremony was exceptionally well organized and we had the most relaxed time sailing through the event. Ten stars!

    Perfect Wedding Ceremony

    Susan was the perfect choice for our dual-faith wedding. She was everything we had hoped for and more. Susan was diligent in her preparation, so thoughtful with her words, and delivered the perfect ceremony for us and our guests. We could not recommend Susan more highly - she was simply fantastic!

    The Sunflower who fell for the Rose

    Susan is a very welcoming and nurturing soul. She thrived on making the ceremony feel personable and charming. She focused on our traditional values and on our love. With the small amount of time that we had on planning the wedding, she was communicative, willing to get to know our story, it honestly felt as if we already have met before! We couldn't have dreamed to get married any other way. Thank you so much for making our day unforgettable.

    With infinite love,
    Jay and Agnes

    Inter-faith officiant

    Susan made our son's wedding experience wonderful. It was an inter-faith ceremony and she went above and beyond to be inclusive and provide background and explanation for the rituals that were included in the ceremony. She always had a smile on her face and you could tell that she was thoroughly engaged with the ceremony and it meant as much to her as it did to everyone in attendance. She cared deeply for how the grooms felt during the ceremony and ensured that their wishes were fulfilled and their requests were met. Could not have asked for a better officiant.

    Interfaith, Same-Sex couple with Jewish Ceremony, Perfect!

    Interfaith, Same-Sex couple with Jewish Ceremony, Perfect!

    Susan officiated our interfaith, same-sex wedding ceremony in upstate New York and I could not have asked for a more positive experience. She is so kind, thoughtful and inclusive. Every Jewish tradition was explained with stories and history. She also did a great job connecting the traditions back to worship of spirit and god, which was really helpful for non-Jewish family to continue connecting with. So many people said that was the most beautiful ceremony they witnessed and half our guests were VIRTUAL! Thank you susan for all you did for us, it means the world to us!

    Susan is amazing!

    Susan was set to officiate at our wedding in late April, to be held in a local restaurant with about 60 people. However, with the CoVId pandemic and a social quarantine in place, we postponed the big ceremony indefinitely. Susan suggested that we consider moving forward with the ceremony in an outdoor venue with only immediate family and that she would be happy to officiate under these conditions. With her guitar in hand, she performed a beautiful ceremony for us, which we live-streamed for friends and family. She worked with us prior to our wedding to incorporate Jewish elements as well as personal anecdotes and stories. She was flexible about the timing and even the day--when we learned that it would likely rain on the chosen Sunday, she suggested that we change the date to Saturday, which turned out to be a fortuitous decision! That Saturday was sunny and bright, and made the outdoor ceremony even more meaningful.

    Aside from her professionalism, Susan's flexibility, warmth, and good humor are the icing on the cake. We cannot imagine a better partner in whom to place our trust for such a momentous event, and would recommend her unequivocally as your wedding officiant.

    Wedding in our home on a moment's notice

    My now husband and I decided on a Saturday to get married in Monday, two days later. I knew Susan was perfect to officiate as soon as I listened to the lovely voicemail message she left for us.

    Susan accommodated our request on what was a very busy Monday for her. She was delightful! Very warm, articulate, and calming presence. We highly recommend Susan as a marriage officiant!

    Truly Amazing

    Susan married me and my husband at the end of September and I have nothing but incredible things to say. Throughout the entire process; Susan made us feel comfortable, encouraged our questions and input, and made us really think about all the reasons we were getting married and the things we valued most about each other. Susan made the whole process less stressful and I highly recommend her.
