    Rabbi Tobin is wonderful!

    Rabbi Tobin was absolutely phenomenal. He made our wedding feel personal and warm. The ceremony was absolutely flawless and the attention to detail he puts into his work was noticed by all. Rabbi Tobin really, truly knows how to execute all aspects of a wedding! He not only went out of his way to answer our seemingly endless questions but he asked the right questions, made us feel at ease throughout the process, and ensured us that we would have no stress the day of the wedding, and he delivered. We cannot express enough for the outstanding job our rabbi did from the first inquiry to the day of, and everything in between. I think once of the greatest assets he provides is his ability and commitment to truly remembering the details, personalizing and emphasizing what is most important to us on the day of. I had informed Rabbi Tobin that my father had passed, and the care he put into honoring my father and bringing his presence to our wedding day was exceptional. He also made it a point to include our family members throughout our ceremony in a way that was so meaningful and something we will always remember. We will call Rabbi Tobin forever, for any major event, life circumstances, or even just to check in! He is now a part of our family.

    Wedding Officiant

    Both Rabbi Tobin and Father John made our interfaith ceremony one to remember forever. They were a great team and performed a beautiful ceremony. Rabbi Tobin did a great job coordinating everything for us.

    Wonderful!

    We had a last minute change and Rabbi Tobin came in and just nailed it! He was so helpful, enthusiastic, knowledgable and fun! He also saved us by thinking of literally EVERYTHING that we needed for our ceremony and even brought extra print-outs of speeches, candle holders and anything we needed. He worked very well with our Priest for our interfaith ceremony and made everything run smoothly for our special day. Thank you so much, Rabbi Tobin!

    Added a little much needed amusement to our ceremony!

    Rabbi Tobin was exactly what we needed for our wedding day. My husband is Jewish so we had to have a Rabbi and a Pastor since I am Methodist. I was so nervous about the whole ceremony coming together but it was absolutely perfect, our guests are still commenting about how nice it all was. The Pastor and Rabbi worked so well together it seemed like they have been friends for years. If you are looking for a Rabbi, Rabbi Tobin is the way to go.

    you get more than your moneys worth!

    what a hoot this guy is, but super professional. He stayed on top of us through the whole process, told us what we needed to accomplish and when right down to attaining the marriage license. He walked us through how to purchase a ketubah and what we should put on it. Day of he showed up early, set up the ceremony space, chased down the witnesses for marriage license signing, walked us through how to get our certified copies, ate some cocktail hour and left. The ceremony was hilarious and he made sure to print our self written vows in large print so we could read easily. Only downside was that he doesn’t conduct a rehearsal, preferring to guide you through the ceremony as its happening, but it worked out super well and I didn’t feel like a rehearsal was at all necessary. Friends were approaching me afterward for hid info for future celebrations! Highly recommend. 10/10 stars!

    Rabbi Tobin is Terrific!

    Rabbi Tobin was a huge help and relief during wedding planning. My husband and I met with Rabbi Tobin in person and a few times over the phone prior to our wedding day. He made us feel comfortable with his service, our venue and the plan on our actual wedding day. We never questioned his preparation, and he made it very clear that he's done this MANY times before. Most importantly he made a game day decision to sign our Ketubah during the ceremony, when pictures ran way longer than scheduled. His calm demeanor, made this the best part of the day. Everyone was fine with this decision and many of our guests commented on how sweet and personal it was to have us sign the ketubah as part of our ceremony. Rabbi Tobin is very conscious of the time, and this meant so much to us. The wedding ceremony is the most important part of the wedding day, and he made sure that this was the case. I highly recommend Rabbi Tobin as part of your wedding plans.

    Incredibly captivating

    Rabbi Tobin was our officiant on 11/30/18 and I could not have pictured my wedding ceremony any differently. Since first contacting Rabbi Tobin, he was EXTREMELY helpful and full of advise for our wedding day. I have to admit I was slightly hesitant with having my wedding officiated by a Rabbi, as my husband is catholic and we are not the most religious, but Rabbi Tobin made the ceremony absolutely perfect and suiting for the both of us. He speaks so eloquently and had our entire room captivated the entire time. Most ceremonies guests admit they don't remember much, however not ours. We have had nothing but nice words from all of our guests on a beautiful ceremony and not a dry eye in the room, including myself. Rabbi Tobin, thank you so much for making this day so perfect and I could not have asked for anyone better to officiate our wedding. I am so appreciative for all you have done for us and I am so happy to have had you as such a huge part of our day!!!!

    Feeling Blessed

    Rabbi Tobin came as a recommendation from a bridal Facebook page when I was trying to find a Rabbi willing to perform a ceremony in a church along with a priest. Originally I just wanted the glass breaking part but after talking to Rabbi Tobin he assured me that doing a full joint ceremony would be the right way to go and he was correct. I can’t thank him enough for coming into my wedding almost last minute and making it feel like he was part of it from the start.

    Great Ceremony!

    Rabbit Tobin did a wonderful job officiating our wedding. He put a lot of thought into the readings he selected, the orchestration of the ceremony, and the way in which he included our family in the service. The ceremony felt appropriately serious while still being fun and celebratory.

    We found Rabbi Dennis Tobin through wedding wire and we were not disappointed! Hands down, his personality, humor, and confidence made our ceremony. From the moment we met him at a diner to phone calls days before the wedding he orchestrated an amazing ceremony. Our guests were engaged and laughing while still pulling in the religious aspects. I would 100% recommended him to any future bride.

    I got married 12/31/17. Rabbi Dennis Tobin was such an important part of our wedding day. He had ideas of how to make our interfaith ceremony balanced. He is always well prepared with helpful information outside of his responsibilities.

    When you meet Rabbi Tobin you will know when thing, he is prepared. What you will learn after talking to him is how much he truly cares about the individuality of your wedding. He will present with an idea for a format of a ceremony which he will add, subtract or create for you. He will give suggestions, listen to your needs and go above and beyond to make your vision a reality.
    Whether it's the fast emails replies, facetimes or the hour long conversations we were blown away by how much Rabbi Tobin truly communicated with us throughout our engagement. He was someone who we considered “always there for us”.
    We did not have a rehearsal the night before. 30 minutes before the actual wedding, however Rabbi Tobin was able to get a 25 person Wedding party in order for well rehearsed processional The Rabbi commands the respect of the room while keeping the balance of humor and love in everything he says.
    When you book Rabbi Tobin you aren’t just booking a Rabbi. You are booking someone who is someone who is experienced in weddings who knows what can go right or wrong. Rabbi Tobin was so much more than someone who married us. We can count on him for advice from our marital vows to what we should pack for bathroom baskets.
    PS. The Rabbi made sure we knew everything about how to get our marriage license. This guy knows everything about weddings, it's incredible! We loved him and you will too.

    We can not express how great Rabbi Tobin was during our wedding preparation and the ceremony. Rabbi Tobin was extremely helpful in preparing us for the ceremony and ensuring that our Ketubah and marriage certificates were in order. The ceremony was perfect, and exactly how we wanted it. We received numerous compliments on the ceremony, and we cannot thank Rabbi Tobin enough for the role he played!

    My husband and I were married on May 20th, 2017 and Rabbi Tobin officiated our wedding. We are an interfaith couple that wanted to have a Jewish wedding. He met with us, was patient with us and ultimately provided us with the most beautiful service I could have ever dreamed of! He truly let my Husband and I have the wedding we dreamed of and customize it as much as we wanted (which was A LOT). The most impressive part of the day was before our ceremony. He conducted a small ceremony a half hour before (our Ketubah signing) with just our family and bridal party. It was the most beautiful part of my day. It was unplanned, unexpected and unlike any Ketubah signing I have been a part of. Thank you Rabbi Tobin, for making our day SO special, unique and perfect! We will never forget it.

    Rabbi Tobin did a phenomenal job at our wedding ceremony. Throughout the evening and even after our wedding, our guests complimented on the ceremony and asked about him. It was not a religious ceremony and he made it very personable, intimate, and funny.
    From the initial meeting and consultation to the wedding, Rabbi Tobin was very professional and caring. He was prompt with his email responses and gave us his number for anytime we needed to reach him. He also gave us great advice for the day of.

    Rabbi Tobin was amazing to work with!!! We got married in October 2016 and we were so fortunate to have him officiate our wedding! He is knowledgeable, friendly and works with you closely to ensure you have the best ceremony. He is very funny too! Our guests said it was the best ceremony that they have been to. He helped greatly with ordering our Ketubah. He went above and beyond to take care of us on our special day. We highly recommend his services!

    Outstanding.
    Beautiful, lighthearted ceremony, with a personal touch, open to suggestions.
    Met with us many months beforehand and coordinated with us throughout as the date got closer.
    On wedding day, he knew exactly what needed to happen beforehand in order for everything to run smoothly.
    Highly recommended.

    This was the best wedding ever,
    Rabbi Tobin Met with us and discussed everything. From the time we met, until the time we were planning to walk down the Aisle. He got our story, the reasons why we wanted to get engaged and then the reason we wanted to get married, The best part of the process was when he asked us where we thought we would be in 2 years, 5 years and in10 years. We really had to think ahead.
    He made our ceremony the most personal and that was very important to us. We wrote our vows and said them to each other and EVERYONE is still telling us that this was the beset ceremony they ever had.

    He told us it would be " A VERY SPECIAL WEDDING" and it was.

    He was the best to work with and I have given out his name to many friends already and he is officiating at 2 other weddings already.

    I will always recommend this wonderful Officiant to all.

    Rabbi Tobin was everything I could have asked for regarding my wedding officiant. First off, he is very professional and responsive to emails and phone calls and gets back to you in a very prompt manner. He is very personable and easy to talk to. He was very helpful in deciding a ketubah and helping me figure out the logistics of a jewish wedding. On the day of the wedding, I planned to do my ceremony rehearsal but was running late and he did not rush me. He set up the whole ceremony site, regarding the ketubah, rings, candles, wine glass, etc. without having to involve me, knowing that I was busy with pictures. He took such a burden off me knowing that he was able to have everything prepared without even asking. I also commend him on his flexibility. At the ceremony, he was wonderful and did an AWESOME job. So many of my friends and family commented on what a great job Rabbi Tobin did for the ceremony and how he used humor to make the ceremony something special along with the other list of things he did to make the ceremony one of a kind. I personally have to say Rabbi Tobin did an EXCELLENT job and would HIGHLY recommend him to any couple looking for the BEST individualized wedding ceremony. Through working with Rabbi Tobin you can tell he is someone who truly cares for the couple and their life together and I do not believe I would have got that from anyone else. By choosing Rabbi Tobin you will be choosing wisely.
