Sarah and Ian’s Testimonial:
“We are so grateful to have met Abby! We were concerned about our ability to find an officiant who would understand exactly what we wanted (and what we didn’t want) for our ceremony, but we realized that Abby was the perfect fit within moments of meeting her. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and talk us through each aspect of the ceremony. From there, we worked together to create a truly unique and meaningful Jewish ceremony.
Abby’s knowledge, organization, and professionalism allowed us to move at a steady pace while preventing us from feeling overwhelmed. She set planning benchmarks for us along the way, and her attention to detail at every step reassured us that we were in good hands. She made herself available for any questions or concerns, and she ensured that we felt comfortable with each part of the process.
Our ceremony was everything we could have hoped for and then some. We are truly fortunate to have worked with Abby; it was one of the highlights of our wedding experience!”

Amanda and Alan’s Testimonial:
We had the pleasure of working with Abby as our wedding officiant. We first met Abby through an introduction to Judaism class where she was a phenomenal teacher and from the beginning, we knew we were in great hands. As we moved forward with our wedding planning, we knew that Abby would be the perfect person to officiate our wedding and be there to share and guide us through our special day. Abby made the planning process so fun and straightforward, and we learned so much about traditions along the way. She was
enthusiastic to share her thoughts and suggestions for our ceremony, but was invariably thoughtful and flexible in collaborating with us to create a ceremony that we were all happy with and that would enhance the entirety of our wedding.
We ended up having the traditional Jewish ceremony of our dreams and when we had a last minute change of plans on our wedding day,
Abby was there to seamlessly pivot and improvise a ceremony to suit our situation. In the process, she actually created an even more joyful, intimate and special moment than we could have imagined. Abby’s kindness, positivity and empathy are truly unmatched and it was an honor to be married by her. She was indispensable in creating a unique and magic day for us. Working with Abby was a true highlight of our wedding and we look forward to keeping in touch for years to come!
