Yasmine Sent on 04/16/2024An amazing experience. Rabbi Laurie was caring and took her time to get to know us before our special day.
Rabbi Laurie was met to be our Rabbi, after looking around for several months. We found the person who explained the process and set up expectations for us. We were so blessed to have her be part of our special day. We highly recommend her to be next to you on your special day. -

Rabbi Laurie was wonderful. She really customized our experience to the level of religion we wanted included in the ceremony, and she made us feel comfortable through the entire process. Seriously, BOOK HER, she was the easiest of all of our vendors to work with. -

We found Rabbi Laurie via Weddingwire. We knew she was the perfect fit immediately, she was warm, flexible, and ready to make all of our dreams for our perfect wedding come true. Once the pandemic hit, we had to switch many of our details, and she did a great job accommodating us and our new vision. She takes her job very seriously. We are also having her co-officate and she has been great in navigating the 21st century wedding! I highly recommend her!! -

My husband and I are so glad that we chose Laurie to be the officiant at our wedding. We were a little hesitant at first with choosing a Rabbi as we are a mixed-religion couple (Jewish and Christian) and didn’t want to have a wedding that focused too much on one religion or the other in order to make both sides of our future family happy. After a few minutes talking to Laurie, however, we realized that our fears were totally unnecessary. From the start, Laurie focused on making the wedding about us as a couple and not about what religions we followed. She helped guide us in making a ceremony tailored to our preferences while allowing us to explore what made us special as a couple and what brought us to the altar that day. We met with Laurie on two occasions before the wedding and, at those meetings, she was able to develop a natural rapport with us and carried that, as well as the stories and inside jokes we had, into a ceremony that felt like us. On the day of the wedding, the ceremony she crafted was beautiful and helped us to make memories of that day that will last forever. We were overjoyed with our ceremony and you will be too if you choose Laurie to be your officiant.

Betsy Sent on 05/15/2018Rabbi Laurie is amazing to work with! She helped us navigate a ceremony that was very personal for us but still traditional. She was super responsive and helped us prepare by carefully explaining what we needed to do to for the ceremony. She paid close attention to use and told stories about how much my husband and I care for each other and even noticed that I almost tripped and my husband had covered all the trip hazards around the huppah with his foot to save me embarrassment and keep me safe. She added that detail into the service and it was so beautiful. I had no idea this was happening and she brought me back into the moment to let me know how much Zach cares about me! After the ceremony almost every guest complimented us on how wonderful our service was and had wonderful things to say about Rabbi Laurie.

Lee Sent on 04/30/2018You will not be disappointed with Rabbi Laurie. She is patient, funny, and insightful. My husband and I had our officiant back out of our wedding about two months before our ceremony, which was devastating. In a panic, we reached out to Rabbi Laurie-- and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding. Rabbi Laurie was everything we could have wanted in an officiant-- she took the time to learn about us and tailor a ceremony that matched us perfectly. She gave us countless options to personalize our ceremony-- down to which gender we would like to use when referring to God. It was truly incredible. She was such a calming presence throughout our ceremony, guiding us through everything and injecting humor. We received so many compliments from guests on how beautiful and touching the ceremony was. We were absolutely thrilled.

Jessica Sent on 11/08/2017Overall our experience with Rabbai Laurie was very pleasant! My husband and I come from more of a non-traditional background, me being Jewish and him being raised Catholic-- but we wanted to include some Jewish traditions in our ceremony. Laurie was really helpful, and knowledgable and even educated us on our options over the phone-- which made it really clear on what we did and didn't want. Additionally, Laurie was very professional and made our ceremony a beautiful memory we will never forget.

Rabbi Green was more than willing and very helpful in helping us create a wonderful and meaningful plan for our ceremony that had to be postponed because of Covid. Would highly recommend to any interfaith or Jewish couple -
Adam Sent on 10/05/2018Rabbi Lauri Green was great to work with!
Our ceremony was beautiful and Rabbi Green did a great job incorporating personal details and our Jewish backgrounds in a thoughtful and creative way. The planning process was easy, and Rabbi Green was flexible in which part of a traditional ceremony we wanted to include, and which we didn't.
Rabbi Green was also always responsive, friendly, and excited to be working with us. Thanks! -

Jason Sent on 06/26/2018Rabbi Green was great to work with, she was incredibly flexible for all planning considering we were only able to meet in person one time and she crafted the ceremony exactly the way we asked!

Dana Sent on 11/04/2018Wanted to love her!
I agree with other reviewers that Rabbi Laurie was kind, knowledgeable and flexible! I really, really wanted to love her. Unfortunately, in our case she was also disorganized, late the day of our wedding and didn't seem to really get us as a couple.
Our wedding ceremony was beautiful because of our vows and blessings from our friends, but Rabbi Laurie had some awkward ad-libbing (like jokes about me dressing my husband, which I don't do?) and -- perhaps the worst part -- she was 10 minutes late to our ketubah signing! This may sound minor, but pre-wedding prep is very hectic and our photographer rushed and cut photos of our wedding party short to make our ketubah signing time.
I'm a very organized bride and reached out to her all the way back in July for my late October wedding to get our ceremony and counseling set before the High Holidays hit. She was distracted and rushed at our ceremony meeting (at a time and location of her choosing) and then rescheduled our August counseling session the week-of, postponing it until 2 weeks before the wedding! Not great for a Type A bride! She also assumed we wanted biological kids during our session and we had to correct her.
Again, Rabbi Laurie was warm, kind and flexible -- she was welcoming of our interfaith relationship, open to customizing the ceremony in a variety of ways (like not using the male G-d) and we ultimately found our ceremony to be memorable and beautiful. We just didn't seem to connect with her the way I had hoped. -

Keri Sent on 06/05/2021Disappointed.
The only reason I write this review is to ensure another couple does not have the same experience. When we initially talked to her on the phone prior to choosing her for our rabbi for our wedding she prided herself in ensuring all of the details for the ceremony were finalized in advance so it was the last thing we had to worry about prior to our wedding. However this was the exact opposite of what happened. Rabbi Lori was extremely difficult to get in contact with up until about two weeks prior to our wedding. At one point I was worried if we even had an officiant for our wedding because she never responded to our emails. She did not take time to get to know us as a couple and it unfortunately reflected in our ceremony and left guests confused and as if she was interviewing us for the first time on our wedding day. She also showed up late to the ceremony delaying our wedding putting us behind and ultimately shortening our reception. My husband and I are both very frustrated and disheartened that this is how our ceremony ended up. Additionally, every interaction we had felt as if it were merely a business transaction.
