    Wonderful, personal ceremony

    Rochelle did a great job! She met with us three times before the wedding, and it showed, our ceremony was personal, and felt intimate and 'us'. (Several guests reported they cried). Also, the meetings were a lovely way for us to discuss our plans for navigating the future as an interfaith couple (as well as learn more about Jewish wedding traditions), and we both felt respected and welcomed by her.

    Beyond that, she was a lovely vendor to work with. She was very responsive and answered all our questions quickly, and on the hectic but wonderful day she was a calming presence that was deeply appreciated. Overall, cannot speak highly enough of her.

    Wedding officiant

    Rabbi Rochelle was such an important part of our wedding. She did an amazing job with the ceremony. It was so meaningful, poignant, and personal. She made both of us feel comfortable and at ease under the chuppah. We have had many loved ones tell us how much they enjoyed the ceremony and a few even say it was the best wedding ceremony they’ve ever seen. We’ve received a lot of compliments about how well She did! We can’t thank her enough for making the whole process leading up to our wedding so wonderful. We truly enjoyed getting to know her and we hope to stay in touch!

    Truly Awesome Experience

    From our initial meeting up to the ceremony, our experience with Rabbi Rochelle was exceptional. She is intelligent, fun, and thought-provoking. With her guidance, we made choices regarding the ceremony's structure that aligned with our values, reflected our relationship perfectly, and brought depth and quality to our ceremony. Rabbi Rochelle made our wedding day special because she took the time to truly get to know us - seamlessly incorporating that knowledge into our day.

    Incredible Experience with Rabbi Rochelle!

    We had the privilege of having Rabbi Rochelle officiate our wedding in November of 2022. She spent tons of time getting to know us, and was an amazing component to our special day. Of note, Rabbi Rochelle listened to exactly what we wanted to do and she programmed the ceremony accordingly. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to officiate theirs.

    Rabbi Tulik Was a Wonderful Addition To Our Special Day

    We were referred to Rabbi Tulik from a mutual connection and she was so easy to work with. The ceremony was extremely flexible and we had numerous sessions to get to know each other and our values + expectations. Since our wedding a few months ago, we've heard from more than half a dozen guests how nice and personal the ceremony was that she officiated!

    The BEST Rabbi Creating Sweet & Personal Ceremonies

    If you are searching for a Rabbi in the Western/Central/Upstate NY region, stop searching & hire Rabbi Rochelle! Aside from being the wonderfully kind person she is, she allowed us to completely customize our entire ceremony according to our wants and needs. She met with us several times to get to know us & opened up conversations between us regarding our relationship with each other & our plans for how we would want to incorporate Judaism into our lives. Our guests (of varying religious backgrounds) raved about how beautiful & personal our ceremony was.

    Rabbi Rochelle is responsive, always available via email & highly engaged in making this day extra special for you. As a bride planning a wedding, there are lots of stressors & things on your mind - I never once had any worries about Rabbi Rochelle & our ceremony. Its a small thing, but peace of mind in selecting Rabbi Rochelle is definitely not something to be overlooked!

    Rabbi Rochelle created the interfaith wedding of our dreams! :)

    My husband and I were very lucky to stumble upon Rabbi Rochelle's profile online. Admittedly, we never met her prior to looking for someone to officiate our wedding, but from our first meeting it felt super natural and Tom and I knew we found our person! Rabbi Rochelle was our first and last officiant meeting because we knew it felt right (even over zoom). Our first meeting was super relaxed and fun. I am the Jewish one in our couple and my husband is not very religious but has a catholic background. Having a Jewish ceremony was important to me, but we also wanted to make sure that the wedding represented both of us. We met with Rabbi Rochelle 3 times prior to the ceremony and she really took the time to get to know us and what was important to us. She gave us homework that was actually fun (mostly questions about each other and how we met, etc.). We later shared the answers with each other and discussed them at one of our next meetings. We went through the ceremony and the parts of a typical Jewish ceremony, but there was no pressure to include anything. We essentially got to choose our own adventure. She made sure we were both comfortable with every bit of the ceremony. I can truly say that I looked forward to our meetings because it felt like we were working together to create this amazing ceremony that was just for us. Both my husband and I agree that the ceremony was our favorite part of the entire day. It felt relaxed, intimate and special just for the two of us. Also Rabbi Rochelle made sure to explain the meaning behind all of the rituals to people who were unfamiliar and everyone thought it was a lovely ceremony that was easy to follow! We also included a unity candle as part of our ceremony as a nod to my husband's catholic family traditions. I could not be happier with the experience of working with Rabbi Rochelle and because we are local we will definitely continue to stay in touch with her and hope to join her congregation in the future.

    Too good to put into words - Rabbi Rochelle is the best!

    From the moment I talked to Rabbi Rochelle, I felt like I'd known her my whole life. She is warm, understanding, and truly made an effort to connect with both myself and my husband and make our wedding ceremony something that would be meaningful for us, as well as my Jewish parents and my husband's Catholic parents. We had several meetings with her leading up to our wedding, and we looked forward to each and every one, feeling more connected to each other after each of our meetings and even more excited for our wedding. So many people (including both of our parents) came up to us and said that our wedding ceremony was the most beautiful they'd ever heard. We are SO lucky we found Rabbi Rochelle, and would absolutely recommend her.

    Wonderful, memorable ceremony

    Rabbi Tulik met with us multiple times throughout the wedding planning process and patiently guided us through designing a ceremony that was both meaningful and truly heartfelt. Her genuinely warm and caring nature put us at ease as my husband and I navigated this journey together. Our ceremony felt intimate, full of emotions (positively verklempt!), and one of a kind, and we thank Rabbi Tulik for officiating just the perfect wedding for us.

    A meaningful wedding with Jewish tradition that made everyone feel comfortable

    Rabbi Rochelle knocked it out of the park. I am Jewish and grew up Conservative. My wife's family is Christian but she grew up without religion. From beginning to end, Rabbi Rochelle handled our wedding incredibly well. While absolutely a Jewish wedding, she made sure everything was thoroughly explained so that everyone felt comfortable. She was funny and compassionate, and ensured the most important traditions were upheld.

    Bottom line: both my mother and my mother-in-law were happy (shocking, I know).

    Amazing to work with!

    Rabbi Rochelle was amazing to work with! She met with us prior to the wedding several times to learn more about our relationship, as well as plan our special day. The ceremony was beautiful and everything we could have asked for and more. We are so grateful to Rabbi Rochelle for helping make our day magical.

    Rabbi Tulik was Wonderful

    We had the immense pleasure of having Rabbi Tulik officiate our wedding. Besides being friendly, accommodating, and professional, what stood out to us the most was how much effort she took to get to know us prior to the wedding. Even though we had only met a few times prior, Rabbi Tulick delivered a beautiful and thoughtful sermon, that perfectly captured the magic of the moment and of our love towards one another. We can't recommend her highly enough.

    Kind, attentive and personal

    Rabbi Tulik was fantastic. She married my husband and me over a zoom wedding in the middle of COVID. She was kind and patient. She explained all customs in great detail. She took the time to get to know us and she is a fantastic singer. I loved the ceremony. Best wedding ever!

    Amazing experience !

    Rabbi Tulik truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day so special! We are still in awe of the beautiful ketubah signing and ceremony she created for us. Despite these crazy times, she was extremely flexible and kind throughout the entire process. Rabbi Tulik took her time to get to know us and add beautiful personal touches to our ceremony. We are so thankful for the warm, unforgettable, intimate, and overall amazing wedding day she helped us create!

    Everything we could’ve asked for

    My wife and I got married on short notice because we were moving away for medical school and our future date didn’t line up well with our schedule. Rabbi Rochelle was extremely accommodating and thoughtful. We talked for a long time via zoom and filled out questions that she put together via email. She got to know us and beautifully reflected the information she gained in the ceremony. She has great presentation skills and has a beautiful voice for the scriptures that required it. I grew up Catholic while my wife is Jewish. My entire family could not stop raving about how engaging she was in the ceremony and how wonderful Jewish weddings are. Everyone loved the ceremony, especially my wife and I. I ecstatically recommend hiring her for your wedding.

    So happy we went with Rabbi Tulik!

    When my husband and I started looking for a rabbi for our wedding and met with Rabbi Tulik we knew she was the right choice immediately. She instantly made us feel comfortable and really listened to what we wanted. My husband is not Jewish, and Rabbi Tulik made sure to explain everything really well to him and always made him feel included. During all of our conversations she listened to our story and brought in so many elements of it into our ceremony (which was a total surprise!) We had some sound difficulties due to our DJ mixing things up with her mic, but Rabbi Tulik was able to pivot and get some laughs out of the guests, which really lightened the mood. Her whole ceremony was very personalized and heartfelt, but she also injected a bit of tasteful humor into it, which helped relax us. While she was addressing everyone at our ceremony, it also felt like she was always talking directly to us. It felt very intimate and special. She also had a great singing voice! After our wedding, we had multiple people come up and tell us it was one of the best ceremonies they’ve ever seen. At the end of the process, we felt like Rabbi Tulik was not only our officiant, but our friend too.

    Wonderful officiant!

    We are so glad we chose Rabbi Rochelle as our officiant for our wedding! She was very professional, flexible, enthusiastic, and she created a wonderful ceremony for us. She really made an effort to get to know us, which made it even more special. We had many compliments about how wonderful the ceremony was. We are truly so happy we had Rabbi Rochelle as our officiant and it would not have been the same without her!

    Amazing!

    Rabbi Rochelle was AMAZING to work with. She was very responsive and communicated with us throughout changing our wedding day due to covid. She really wanted to get to know us on a personal level and it made us so comfortable on our big day (especially my husband who is not jewish)! Anyone that was there could tell how much time and effort she took to put our whole ceremony together. Rabbi Rochelle was a huge part of our wedding and we would not have changed it for the world!

    Our Favorite Rabbi

    Rabbi Tulik was the only Rabbi my husband and I considered. We were both raised Jewish but neither of us actively practice our faith or belong to a temple. None of this was an issue for Rabbi Tulik. Her personality is warm, light-hearted, and genuine. She spent time getting to know us leading up to our special day with meetings where we would talk about our relationship or just our day. We would often end up laughing about something and time would fly by. On our wedding day, she spoke as if she’d known us our whole lives and it honestly felt like she had! She made our ceremony about love and joy (while tying in pleasant pieces of Judaism). She included the Jewish traditions we wanted to include (stomping the glass, signing the ketubah) and left out the ones we didn’t (Circling, havdalah ceremony). I am SO grateful to have found her to officiate our wedding - our ceremony was perfect.
    I would highly recommend her to anyone who feels Jew-ish, like us, and is considering a Rabbi!

    My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Rabbi Rochelle. Since our wedding was 2000 miles away from home, we had phone conversations prior to meeting her in person before the wedding. She did an amazing job walking us through the whole ceremony, giving us lots of choices and feedback. Overall very supportive and the day of kept everyone laughing and calm. A great choice!

    Rabbi Rochelle was absolutely amazing. We were recommended to her by a friend, and thank goodness they did! We do not have close ties to a temple, and I am not "technically" Jewish, but Rabbi Rochelle did not turn her nose up at us or judge us in anyway. She understood that although Judaism is important to us, my family was not Jewish, and was able to make our wedding both religiously significant and yet accessible to all. She also understood that we wanted a fairly short ceremony, light on the heavy stuff (and that is was 100 degrees and we were in the sun), so she kept it right on time without ever feeling rushed. It was beautiful, romantic, and catered to exactly what we wanted. I would absolutely recommend Rabbi Rochelle to other couples!

    I cannot say enough how lucky we feel to have had Rabbi Rochelle marry us just over a week ago. She was warm, fun, and made our ceremony feel very personal.

    My wife and I were looking for a Jewish ceremony more on the reform side seeing as neither of us are the most devout of Jews. Also, we were on somewhat of a tight budget. Rabbi Rochelle was so easy to work with and presented us with a multitude of options for our ceremony and let us customize it exactly how we wanted.

    The best part, aside from the ceremony itself, was the three meetings we had with Rabbi Rochelle prior to our wedding. It really helped us get to know her, and her us, leading to what was a very personal ceremony as opposed to just some fly-by-night Rabbi we hired to marry us and then never talk to again.

    Through this process, Rabbi Rochelle has inspired us to want to learn more about Judaism and we can't wait to have her be our Rabbi and friend for many years to come.

    Thank you so much, Rabbi!

    Sincerely,
    Aaron and Dana

    Rabbi Tulik saved the day! She was a recommendation from a colleague of mine. Because I am from the East coast and my now wife is from up north, we didnt know any Rabbis in our area. The moment we met Rochelle, we knew it was a match! She is so bright, intelligent, funny, intuitive, and creative! She also worked with us. Since my wife is not Jewish (we did, however, have a Jewish ceremony) we needed a rabbi who took the time to explain a lot of the process. She also had pre-marital couples counseling to go over strengths and weaknesses in our relationship. SO VITAL! After our wedding was all said and done, everyone, including my mother who has worked in the Jewish community for over 25 years, said "we absolutely loved the Rabbi! Where did you find her!?" We loved her so much my wife is now taking Jewish classes with her to further her knowledge. We very much recommend Rabbi Rochelle Tulik! She's great!

    Rabbi Rochelle did an AMAZING job with our ceremony. She made it feel very personal, intimate, and sincere. She took what we wrote about each other and turned it into a personalized ceremony. There was not a dry eye in the crowd!!! She met our needs in terms of the level of prayer and Judaism that was incorporated in the ceremony. We couldnt have been happier to have Rochelle do our ceremony and to continue our Jewish exploration with her in the future. Thanks!!!

    We chose Rabbi Rochelle to officiate our wedding through a referral from a family member. We couldn't have been happier with her and with our ceremony. Rabbi Rochelle was fun, yet professional, attentive and patient. She took the time to get to know us and allowed us to have a lot of say in what we wanted in the ceremony. Rabbi Rochelle took the information that she had learned about us to personalize the ceremony, which created a warm, intimate and fun ceremony. We couldn't recommend Rabbi Rochelle more highly. You won't be disappointed.
