Best officiant evvver!

Rabbi Sara Shonfeld is a wedding GURU!! Her personality and cheerfulness throughout the entire wedding process has made me feel the most excited about our Jewish ceremony! She is so kind, caring, thoughtful and light-hearted! Her professionalism and attention to detail was immaculate in every way. Our guests RAVED about how beautiful and intimate our ceremony was and the highlight being Rabbi Shonfeld! She made us laugh, cry and gave us the ceremony of our dreams :). One of my favorite moments was during the Ketubah signing where she sang beautiful and fun traditional Jewish songs where we laughed and danced. She also kept in touch with us after the wedding and now we are close friends! I can't wait to include her for all our future endeavors as she is truly a blessed and special person. Thank you Rabbi for all that you have done for us! WE LOVE YOU!! Love, The Rubin's

AWESOME experience

My husband and I talked about honoring our rich faith traditions as we unite in marriage (he was raised in the Jewish faith, and I was raised in the Catholic faith). Rabbi Sara Shonfeld was an absolute GIFT to us from above. We first met on a Zoom call as she listened intently to our love story and our desires for our ceremony. With her gentle guidance, we continued to build upon what we had envisioned for ourselves and what resulted was more beautiful than either of us could have imagined. We had our ceremony at Soundview Caterers with Rabbi Sara on 04/20/2024, and as I am currently writing this a week later, I am still in awe of what a beautiful ceremony it is and my family members have continued to tell me each day since then, what a beautiful and unique ceremony it was. We are so thankful for being able to experience the Lord’s grace in this way. I highly recommend the wedding officiant services of Rabbi Sara Shonfeld. Our ceremony, officiated by Rabbi Sara, was a deeply inspiring interfaith experience.
