    Everything was perfect!

    Rabbi Winer is kind, methodical, and charismatic. In the meetings we had leading up to the wedding he served as our trusted advisor and guide through the marriage process. He helped us customize our ceremony so it felt most like us while still representing traditional reform wedding customs. He was encouraging and supportive when it came to us writing our vows, and in the end our ceremony was absolutely perfect. His wife was our Kantor and she had a beautiful voice. Rabbi Winer was able to get to know us well in a short time and it really showed in his sermon. There was not a single dry eye in the room or on zoom. We are so lucky to have found both him and his wife for our wedding. If you want a wedding ceremony filled with love and laughter and beautiful harmony look no further than Rabbi Winer.

    Excellent Rabbi, 10 Stars

    I cannot express enough how grateful my spouse and I are to have had Rabbi Winer officiate our interfaith wedding. From the beginning, Rabbi Winer was an absolute pleasure to work with, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. His warm demeanor, professionalism, and genuine care for our special day truly made a lasting impression on us. Rabbi Winer took the time to understand our story, values, and what we envisioned for our ceremony. He seamlessly incorporated our personal touches and preferences, resulting in a ceremony that felt uniquely ours. His guidance and support throughout the planning process were invaluable, making us feel confident and at ease as we prepared for our big day.

    We feel incredibly lucky to have had him and his talented wife Lori as a part of our wedding and we wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone looking for a meaningful, personalized, and unforgettable ceremony.

    Dear Nicole,
    Thank you for allowing me to be on the beautiful journey with you towards your wedding day.

    Beautiful Wedding

    Rabbi Winer was great to work with. He co-officiated our wedding with a Reverend and was collaborative to include elements from Judaism and Christianity. Rabbi Winer was very responsive to communications before the wedding and had many phone calls with us to discuss ceremony options and planning and was supportive to us. We absolutely recommend Rabbi Winer!

    Rabbi Richard Winer's reply:

    Dear Jennifer,
    It was also an honor to work with Reverend Lee and you to create a meaningful ceremony. All the best and please stay in touch.

    Amazing Officiant!

    When meeting with Rabbi Winer over the phone it was such a humble experience! He is a very down to earth individual. When it came time for the ceremony he did a wonderful job explaining the Jewish traditions and translating the Hebrew portions into English for everyone to understand. Our guests loved the ceremony and how well it flowed and it never seemed boring. I would absolutely recommend having Rabbi Winer officiate your wedding!

    Simply wonderful

    Rabbi Winer officiated our interfaith ceremony beside Father Oneto. They are friends and colleagues in faith leadership and their respect and care for each other was apparent to all who attended our ceremony. They truly made everything so special and every last person in the room felt welcome. If you're looking for a Boston rabbi, look no further. Rabbi Winer is truly incredible, and aside from being an excellent rabbi, he's also an excellent comedian with the sharpest wit in the room.

    Wonderful and Dedicated Rabbi

    Rabbi Winer was wonderful to work with from the very start. My wife and I are both medical students with very busy schedules, and our wedding plans changed multiple times due to venue cancellations and pandemic concerns. Through all of the uncertainty and difficult schedules, Rabbi Winer was flexible, understanding, and supportive of our individual needs as well as our needs as an interfaith couple. We always looked forward to our pre-wedding meetings with him and we would recommend Rabbi Winer over and over again.

    Beautiful Personalized Ceremony

    Rabbi Weiner, with the assistance of his wife Lori, conducted a beautiful wedding, seamlessly incorporating traditional Jewish rituals with personal requests that brought us the heartfelt clerical reunion in front of family and friends we had dreamed of. We celebrated a joyous, rabbinically blessed celebration. Rabbi Weiner’s pre-nuptial talks were easy yet spirited conversations that resulted in a very intimate and relaxed ceremonial consecration. My wife and I both felt we were very blessed to have had Rabbi Weiner officiate at our wedding.

    Incredible

    His communication and organization helped us during all the chaos of wedding planning. He was welcoming and educational and answered every question with a smile.
    We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful ceremony and our friends and family still haven’t stopped talking about it!! Our families and myself cannot thank you enough for the most special interfaith ceremony we have ever been apart of.

    Custom professional service with warmth and care

    Rabbi Winer helped create the most extraordinary day! He took the time to meet with us beforehand and get to know exactly what we were looking for, as well as getting to know us, to tailor our wedding perfectly. With his decades of experience, he was able to make suggestions and create a service we didn't even dream could go so well. He has kept in contact offering advice and counselling to ensure our marriage is only growing stronger. His wife Lorraine even took part in our wedding as a cantor and helped brighten our day! Our guests have not stopped raving about him even over a year later. Thank you Rabbi Winer for such an amazing ceremony!!!

    The Perfect Ceremony

    We didn't have an easy ask - I'm Jewish, my husband is not, I'm American, my husband is English - our guests literally came from around the world. Rabbi Winer was able to craft the perfect ceremony that spoke to us as a couple, our individual roots and also made everyone there feel included and valued. He was extremely attentive and kind, and took a lot of time to get to know us and brought such deep knowledge of the marriage ritual and process. We couldn't have been in better hands, enjoyed the process with him to the full and are beyond happy with our special day. If we could do it again, we'd have Rabbi Winer there every time! We will be forever grateful to him and highly recommend him for anyone looking for a rabbi to officiate their wedding.

    Excellent!

    Rabbi Winer was awesome to work with. In preparation for the ceremony over zoom, he was informative and made us feel comfortable. He was also very funny which helps during a stressful time leading up to wedding day!

    Rabbi Winer and Father Alex were a wonderful duo for our interfaith ceremony. They are longtime friends with a great rapport who had worked together several times before. They crafted a unique ceremony that made us feel special that we will never forget!

    Rabbi Winer is wonderful! We had so many compliments about our ceremony and it was thanks to Rabbi Winer and his lovely wife (and Mazel the dog too)! We felt like Rabbi Winer really took the time to learn about us and he made our ceremony feel very intimate and special. I am Jewish but my husband is not and having an interfaith wedding was something that was made extremely easy with Rabbi Winer. He spent a lot of time customizing our ceremony for the things we wanted and helped guide us in the areas we needed help with. We cannot say enough good about him. Amazing person and the best choice for our wedding!

    Dear Lina, Thank you for the beautiful comments. I appreciate that. I truly enjoyed getting to know you and Steve. You are special people and Please feel free to contact me anytime. Rabbi Winer

    More than a Rabbi

    Rabbi Winer took the time to get to know us over several meetings. He also worked with my fiance on completing his conversion to Judaism. Rabbi Winer was professional, with a wonderful sense of humor. Our ceremony was very special because of his personal touches. His wife, Lori, sang the blessings which only added to the beauty of the ceremony. We're so grateful for all the time and effort he put into it.

    Wonderful ceremony

    My husband and I had our wedding on 6/20/21 with Rabbi Winer. It was wonderful working with him pre-wedding, he really got to know us as we got to know him. He really helped us go through the ceremony piece by piece to help us decide what we wanted it to look like, then took that and tailored it to perfectly fit my husband and I. All of our guests thought the ceremony was so beautiful.
