    Couldn't have asked for a better rabbi!

    From the moment we first talked, we had a feeling about Rabbi Marsha. She first called me when she saw the message inquiry come through on her end, and was very supportive throughout the entire process. We booked her about 6 months out from our wedding after finding out that the clergy at my temple would not be able to officiate (downside of getting married on a Friday). Still, I am so thrilled we were able to work with Rabbi Marsha. She spent time getting to know us, and by the time of the ceremony no one would have guessed we had only known each other for 6 months. The ceremony was so lovely and she worked with us to include all personal and familial touches with an interfaith ceremony.

    Simply Excellent

    I'm Latino, I was born and raised Catholic, but I married a Jew, and for us, it was very important that our wedding is under Judaism. My husband and I looked for various options, but when we spoke to Rabbi Marsha for the first time, we felt she was The one indicated. It was not just a transaction, it was true dedication to our needs, and it was very respectful of my lack of knowledge of the traditions, and it explained to me step by step with great affection. I can tell you that the day of my marriage was the best day of my entire life and the ceremony made me feel like I was in a fairy tale where we were two princes sealing our love. Rabbi Marsha, there are no words to thank you for your wonderful service and the respect and inclusion of a same-sex couple. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. Rabbi Marsha

    Rabbi Marsha Jane was outstanding

    Rabbi Marsha Jane gave the most personal and beautiful service, it was truly memorable for my husband and I, who are inter-faith, but wanted a Jewish wedding ceremony. She was organized and kind and made planning the ceremony very easy leading up to the wedding with multiple convenient check ins and reminders and she was always responsive and flexible. The ketubah ceremony was also special for us and our family who participated. We received multiple compliments from guests during the reception and after our wedding about how spectacular she was. She is an absolute professional and cannot recommend her enough as an officiant. We highly recommend Rabbi Marsha Jane!!

    rabbi marsha is the absolute best!

    From the minute we first spoke to Rabbi Marsha we knew she was the perfect fit. she is warm, inviting, responsive and someone you feel like you've known forever. in the months leading up to the wedding, she was always available to answer any questions we had. in addition to that, our plans changed quite a few times with covid. each time, she was happy to accommodate our requests. we are an interfaith couple and she took the time to have a separate meeting with our families to ensure everyone was comfortable with the service and knew exactly what was going on. I was truly looking for someone that took the time to get to know us individually and as a couple, and rabbi marsha was exactly that person. when it came to wedding day, the service was absolutely beautiful and incredibly personal. 2 weeks later, we are still hearing great feedback from friends and family about how great the service was. We cannot thank her enough! can't wait for our next life event that needs a rabbi -- we absolutely will be calling her for any and everything!

    A Beautiful Interfaith Ceremony with Rabbi Marsha!!

    My husband is jewish and I'm not really attached to a religion so when my husband said he wanted a rabbi to marry us, I wanted to make sure I found one who was open minded and for me, having a female was important! Rabbi Marsha gave us such a beautiful ceremony! She did a great job of explaining all of the little traditions like the kiddush cup and the 7 circles, so my non-jewish family knew what was going on, and was very open minded about any changes we wanted to make to the typical jewish ceremony! She didn't put a huge emphasis on God, like we asked, but everything included was so meaningful.. about love, family, spirituality.. All of my catholic family loved our ceremony and were complimenting it all night!
    Rabbi Marsha herself is an absolute pleasure to work with.. she kept in touch throughout our planning process, even as we switched locations 4 times due to covid, and always brought positivity and humor into our calls which we really needed!! I couldn't have imagined our day without her!

    Rabbi to the rescue!

    Simply put, Rabbi Marsha was an absolute dream to work with. From the moment we first spoke on the phone, she instilled confidence that we could have the ceremony we always hoped for. With our wedding plans changing last minute due to COVID, we were in need of an experienced interfaith rabbi to co-officiate with a Catholic deacon, who happened to be father of the bride, all for a socially-distant ceremony, quite literally in a cornfield in Maryland - it was a tall order to say the least! Rabbi Marsha absolutely delivered in every way possible. She performed a personalized, beautifully integrated ceremony between the two faiths that we will never forget. Both families absolutely loved her. Her upbeat and positive energy ameliorated any worries we had in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and she was always responsive with communication. You should book Rabbi Marsha with complete confidence and excitement in how memorable your ceremony will be with her present. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

    Amazing Experience!

    Rabbi Marsha was amazing! She hosted a beautiful ceremony that our friends and family are still raving about! We laughed, we cried - it was perfect. We live in France, but wanted to get married at home in the States and Rabbi Marsha never made us feel like we were too far away. She was there with us from afar through the entire process keeping us calm, excited and organized. We are so thankful she officiated our wedding and we look forward to future family events with Rabbi Marsha as our new found rabbi. We highly recommend!

    Rabbi Marsha Jane is amazing!

    When planning our wedding, the choice of officiant was a priority. However, my thought process was that this decision came after the venue, music, and florist. However, contacting and working with Rabbi Marsha Jane Kleinman became the most critical decision we made for our happy and joyous wedding. Rabbi Marsha Jane will make grown men cry, every guest laugh out loud, and nervous brides comfortable. With a genuine belief in the power of love, Rabbi will compose an exceptional and personalized ceremony. Your groom will have to work hard to make you feel as significant and loved as Rabbi Marsha Jane does on your wedding day. In life, we often make reliable and satisfactory decisions; however, hiring Rabbi Marsha Jane was a great decision that I will forever be grateful. To fully understand the pleasure it was to have Rabbi Marsha Jane as our officiant, I will start with the end. 
    When the wedding pictures arrived, smiles and laughing abounded while under the chuppah. The review includes a few pictures to illustrate. Rabbi even made my mother and mother-in-law laugh; which is not easy. By taking the time to understand us as a couple, through several conversations before the wedding, Rabbi Marsha Jane developed a meaningful Jewish ceremony that was perfect for us. The resulting spectacular ceremony incorporated the fun, playful aspects of Evan and my relationship with the deep, genuine love we have for one another. Overall, this resulted in the creation of a magical day for both of us. 
    Rabbi Marsha Jane interfaced with the venue, florist, and musicians on the day of the wedding, so I did not need to worry about a thing. With style and grace, Rabbi handled Evan's nerves during the tisch. Somehow she corraled the Moms to sign the marriage license. Also, she was able to accomplish all of this while planning a sweet musical surprise for me during the badeken. 
    After the badeken, Rabbi performed the ketubah signing. Our parents and ketubah signers all agreed on how special she made these last moments before the ceremony. I should insert here a side note, that Rabbi was efficient and timely in responding on the ketubah wording during the ordering process. 
    If you are looking for an officiant that will make your wedding ceremony extraordinary hire Rabbi Marsha Jane Kleinman. She will personalize each aspect of your ceremony by getting to know you and your beloved and what has brought you to this day. Your ceremony will be fun and lively but will not lose the seriousness of the commitment you are embarking upon. If this is the type of wedding day you would like to create, then Rabbi Marsha Jane Kleinman is the officiant for you.  I cannot give her enough love for being so caring during every stage of our wedding planning.

    Intimate family wedding

    Rabbi Marsha got to know my husband and I before our wedding despite our living in CA with two phone calls and a questionnaire. She made the ceremony so comfortable, personal, and filled with love. As I was raised Jewish but no longer practice and my husband is not religious, Rabbi Marsha educated us on Jewish wedding practices and included our family. I loved the Ketubah signing and the entire ceremony! I would highly recommend Rabbi Marsha to any couple as I am confident she would cater the ceremony to one's wishes.

    Rabbi Marsha Jane

    Rabbi Marsha Jane made our wedding day and ceremony so special! She spent so much time with us leading up to the wedding making sure every detail was planned out and we got exactly what we wanted for our ceremony. On our wedding day, she came early to make sure everything was in order and performed a beautiful ketubah signing and ceremony. We were able to incorporate the Jewish wedding traditions in a more modern way, and she included so many personal notes about us as a couple. We would definitely recommend Rabbi Marsha Jane!!

    The best rabbi and interfaith ceremony!!!! Highly recommend Rabbi Marsha

    Rabbi Marsha truly made our wedding day so special, and we could have not asked for a better Rabbi or officiant to lead our ceremony. Her style, flexibility, and willingness to make the ceremony completely curated, personal, and meaningful is unmatched.

    Rabbi Marsha met with us several times and made a conscious effort to get to know and understand us, our families, our values and traditions including our different faiths as I am Catholic and my husband is Jewish. Many of our guests had said it was the most beautiful, personal, heartwarming, and meaningful ceremony they had ever witnessed. It is a testament to how Rabbi Marsha writes and leads her ceremonies - she fully embraces different backgrounds, finds meaningful ways to tie in traditions and shared values, and weaves in personal stories to create a really special and intimate ceremony. She fully captured our personalities and our love for one another, with the perfect amount of humor and light-heartedness.

    Throughout the process, Rabi Marsha made sure we both felt comfortable with every aspect of the ceremony and went out of her way to ensure that each of our faiths were honored throughout. She worked closely with our Priest, Father Bill, to ensure the ceremony was balanced and that each of our families felt represented.

    Her thoughtfulness was evident throughout the process and the entire ceremony. It was her idea to hang my mothers wedding dress inside the Chuppah to symbolize both of our families becoming intertwined as we start our life together, a beautiful touch that meant so much to our families.

    We absolutely love and adore Rabbi Marsha and could not recommend her enough! She will bring the absolute best energy, perspective, and is truly so FUN to work with!!

    The best Rabbi there is!

    Everyone at our wedding could not stop talking about how unique and fun our ceremony was. Rabbi Marsha made it extremely personal and brought in the traditions we both wanted. She made us think about what would make the ceremony the best for my husband and me. There were laughs and tears from us and our guests and she made it one of the most important and best parts of the big day. Rabbi Marsha had weekly zoom calls with us leading up to the wedding and really got to know both of us. By the end, she had me thinking she was our Jewish Grandmother. If you can book her for your ceremony - please do! You truly will not regret it!

    Wonderful rabbi for our wedding day

    Rabbi Marsha was instrumental in making our wedding ceremony truly unforgettable. Throughout the six months leading up to our big day, she invested time in getting to know us, allowing her to infuse our ceremony with personal touches that resonated deeply. Despite the presence of 300 guests, Rabbi Marsha managed to create an intimate atmosphere, weaving in anecdotes and stories that reflected our journey as a couple. Her ability to balance tradition with a modern flare made the ceremony feel authentic and heartfelt. We're incredibly grateful for Rabbi Marsha's guidance and warmth, which made our wedding day all the more special and meaningful.

    Wonderful wedding experience with rabbi Marsha!

    From start to finish rabbi Marsha was phenomenal. She took so much time to get to know me and us as a couple. The ceremony was so personal. She took so much time to speak to us repeatedly that I feel like we got to know each other. Also when I had a health issue, not only was she so accommodating to a date change, but helped me accept that it was the best decision. She made my children an integral part of the ceremony and gave us an incredible experience.

    The Best Rabbi!

    We wanted a Jewish ceremony but also wanted our non Jewish guests to understand the ceremony and feel involved. Rabbi Marsha Jane was perfect! She made the entire wedding process so easy, and was very communicative and attentive to our wants. We got compliments all night about how much everyone loved our ceremony and our Rabbi. After our wedding Rabbi Marsha Jane feels like a friend. I would recommend her to everyone!

    Beautiful ceremony

    We are so glad we chose Rabbi Marsha to be the officiant for our ceremony! She was very responsive and helpful in the weeks leading up to our wedding. We received so many compliments from guests about our ceremony. My husband is not Jewish, but Rabbi Marsha made sure to include him and any of his family traditions in the ceremony as well.

    Absolutely incredible

    Rabbi Marsha was incredible. We spoke 5 times prior to our wedding to go over every detail and she was very much willing and able to adhere to our needs and wants. We felt as if we’ve known Rabbi Marsha forever and now she’s a part of our forever story.
    Many of our guests came up to us afterword and told us how amazing she was- not only in the way she spoke about us, but also in that she explained the different parts of the ceremony to our guests.
    We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better rabbi and we look forward to having her perform the ceremonies at other family life events.

    Cannot recommend enough!! The BEST!

    Rabbi Marsha planned and delivered a wedding ceremony that far out did all our dreams. It was beautiful, sentimental, and truly perfect. From start to finish of working together, she made us feel supported and cared for on a personal level that we would have never expected. We are going to cherish all that she did for us forever. We are an inter-faith couple (Jewish & Catholic) however we wanted to have a Jewish wedding. Rabbi Marsha was so respectful throughout every phone call and she explained every part of the ceremony as it was happening so that all of our guests felt included. We have had numerous non-Jewish guests tell us that they want to have Jewish ceremony now because of how personal, romantic, spiritual, humanistic and meaningful Rabbi Marsha made our ceremony. We really feel like she captured our personalities and our love. Additionally, she honored our loved ones who are no longer with us, and gave a shoutout to family who couldn’t travel to be at our wedding but were watching via live stream. It meant so much to us and our families to have those moments incorporated in. Additionally, the Ketubah signing ceremony was special and personal for our loved ones who shared it with us. She exhibited warmth with every phone call and finally meeting her in person was even lovelier. We are so incredibly grateful and could not recommend her enough!

    Would definitely recommend!

    Marsha was incredibly helpful and considerate when helping us decide on what to have in our ceremony. She tied in our ethnic backgrounds and personal stories to make the entire experience special. The guests raved about how the ceremony went. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for an officiant!
