We love Rabbi Rochelle!
Rabbi Rochelle was the wedding officiant of our dreams. My husband and I had an interfaith wedding on a Saturday, so we had a hard time finding a rabbi to officiate, but Rabbi Rochelle wasn’t just willing to do it—she was excited! From the very first meeting we had with her, we knew we were in good hands. She’s kind, funny, open-minded, has wonderful energy, and asks great questions. She made me feel welcome and comfortable as a non-Jewish person, and she worked with us to create a ceremony that incorporated Jewish traditions and other things (like readings and a song) that felt meaningful to us. She was super responsive to our questions and special requests, and she was just wonderful to work with as we were planning.
Our ceremony was very important to us and the part of our wedding day that we looked forward to the most, and she made it so much better than we could have dreamed. Her words and the energy she created in the room were so deeply moving and joyful, and it felt simultaneously very ceremonious and very comfortable and intimate. We laughed, we cried (a lot), and we felt comfortable being our full selves. So many of our guests remarked on how special the ceremony was, and one told us that he had never seen a couple enjoy their wedding ceremony so much. It was just spectacular. Can't recommend her enough! -

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!

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. -

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. -

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. -

Chelsea Sent on 09/07/2022Too 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. -

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. -

Marina Sent on 06/28/2021So 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. -

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! -

Helen Sent on 04/16/2020Our 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! -

Aaron Sent on 07/08/2012I 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 -

Nina Sent on 08/29/2021Great Rabbi for our wedding!
Rabbi Tulik was great for our modern Jewish wedding. I was raised Reform and my husband was raised in a secular humanistic Jewish family. Rabbi Tulik was flexible at letting us choose what we wanted to include in our ceremony and following our lead. Our most important criteria for choosing our vendors, including an officiant, was someone who didn't take themselves too seriously. Rabbi Tulik met this criteria perfectly- she was easy going, personable, and not preachy. -
