From the moment we met Rabbi Olshansky, we felt so confident and happy with our decision to work with him. My now husband’s heritage comes from patrilineal descent, therefore making it difficult for us to find a Rabbi that would marry us. However, from the moment we met him Rabbi Olshasnky made us realize that what mattered most was that we loved each other and that he allowed us the opportunity to share our heritage and religion in a way that worked best for us. I’ve been to many weddings in my time and never once have I heard the bride or groom get complemented on their officiant. That was much different with ours. We had so many people come up to us and say how much they loved hearing from him, appreciated the translations, and they really raved about his reading of our personal vows. They attributed our beautiful and memorable ceremony to him and for that I will be forever grateful. Thank you Rabbi Olshanksy for being such a warm light guiding us through our new journey into marriage – we appreciate you so much! -

We had a superb experience with Rabbi Olshansky in every way. The ceremony he performed was beautiful. He was thoughtful and eloquent in his remarks, and he kept the focus on the bride and groom throughout. Working with him in preparation for the wedding was a joy. He was incredibly responsive and tailored the ceremony to our needs in every respect. We could not recommend him more highly. -

Rabbi Olshansky is a wonderful person and an excellent interfaith wedding officiant. Rabbi O met with my husband and I three times prior to the wedding to get to know us and help us decide exactly how we wanted our wedding ceremony to go. I am Jewish but my fiance and his family are Catholic. Rabbi O welcomed all of our family members to the meetings leading up to the wedding to give them a chance to learn about Jewish wedding customs and allow them to give input on the Catholic traditions that they wanted to include as well. Rabbi O made our wedding ceremony both traditional and personal. He really took the time to get to know us and provide us with the exact wedding ceremony we wished to have. We would recommend Rabbi O to any Jewish or interfaith couples! -

Rabbi Sanford Olshansky should be pait 10x more than he charges for her services because he is incredible at his job. You can truly tell that officiating weddings is his passion. Our service truly showcased our love and story in a way that brought tears to everyone's eyes. -

Excellent experience
We were referred to Rabbi Olshansky through an organization we contacted and it was a wonderful experience. From the moment he contacted us, the process was very smooth. We met 3 times prior to our wedding and he took the time to really get to know us, and provide valuable, thoughtful, and helpful information. He responded quickly to all of our questions. We are an interfaith couple and he did a fantastic job of incorporating the 2 religions into the service and was very open to the fact that my husband is not Jewish. The ceremony was beautiful and many of our guests commented on how perfect it was. He was a joy to work with. -

Noah Sent on 08/23/2021Awesome Wedding Rabbi
We hired Rabbi O to officiate for our wedding. The best word to describe him is "prepared." Rabbi O took care of all the details so my wife and I didn't have to worry. He brought the Kippahs, the Chuppah, the glass to stomp. He setup the Ketubah, the Chuppah, the officiating table, got the wine. He really took care of everything. He was also invested in our marriage and scheduled three meetings with us prior to the ceremony. We highly recommend Rabbi Olshansky and we're happy we found him. -

We couldn't give him higher praise or recommendation, he’s the absolute best at what he does! Rabbi O was no longer a stranger to us by the day of our wedding. It felt like we had known him for years. -

Rabbi O. was absolutely incredible as the officiant of our wedding! He took great care to get to know us a couple. Through several meetings with him before the wedding, Rabbi O. was able to learn about us, helping to add an amazing personal touch to the wedding ceremony. At the ceremony, he was organized, caring, and genuinely happy for us on our big day. We couldn't be more grateful that Rabbi O. officiated our wedding. We'll never forget him! -
Louis Sent on 11/14/2017Rabbi O is the BEST! Our original Rabbi (Michael Raab) cancelled on us the day before our wedding. Fortunately our wedding planner The Souire Group and the Four Seasons Hotel found Rabbi O. He met with my wife and I at the hotel and asked us how we met and to describe ourselves and what’s important. I told him that we were being married on my father’s birthday and since my father recently passed away, it was a very special wedding day to honor my dear father. Rabbi O prepared the most wonderful wedding remarks with some special words about my father and his importance to me. Rabbi O had everybody in tears. Him and his wife Rebbetzin O were so friendly and nice and we really enjoyed them. I just wish I went to Rabbi O at first. He is amazing as a wedding officiant and we were blessed He was happy to accommodate us at the last minute.
Thanks Rabbi O

Daniel Sent on 10/29/2017I was thoroughly impressed by the enthusiasm and detail that Rabbi Olshansky put into our secular wedding vow renewal ceremony. Meetings, research, suggestions and background was knitted together into a truly memorable service. Toss in some good humor and we couldn't have asked for more. Rabbi Olshansky is a gifted man.

Charlotte Sent on 10/27/2017Rabbi Olshansky married my husband and I on March 26th this year. We are an interfaith couple (my husband is Jewish and I am a Christian). From the moment we met the Rabbi, we knew we were in the best of hands. We met with the Rabbi 3 times before the wedding to go over every single detail of our ceremony to make sure it was perfect. He took the time to get to know both of us and our families and really made us feel so special. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and Rabbi Olshansky was a big part of that. His words were so sweet and kind, light and funny, and so touching. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house :) I cannot recommend Rabbi Olshansky enough for your wedding. We are forever grateful for the service he provided for us and are so happy we have him in our lives. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

Rabbi Sanford is very passionate about what he does. He spent time getting to know us and really made our ceremony personal. My family who is not Jewish is still talking about how he went above and beyond in what he provided for us.
