About
On WeddingWire since 2018
Blending "personal with historical" as one of her clients recently wrote, Cantor Re’ut (pronounced Ray-oot) feels privileged to have accompanied couples on their journey into marriage for over 25 years. Creating a synergy of ancient wisdoms with "keeping it real" to who you are as a family, Re’ut will work closely with you to build a warm, unique, "boutique" ceremony that is true to the two of you and shares your love story with your guests.
The journey begins with sending you A Couple's Questionnaire, followed up with meetings, four-to-six times before the wedding to develop a personal relationship with you, so that she can best weave your love story into the ceremony. She also takes time to review and understand with you every aspect of the ceremony, so that she can incorporate your vision and style and tailor-make the ceremony so it's relevant to and about you, while still being anchored in tradition.

Working With Cantor Re’ut Ben-Zeev
We met Re’ut in a virtual setting and had all of our prior meetings virtually as well. When we were able to finally meet in person, it was as if we were seeing a family member for the first time in a long time. This is how close we grew to Cantor Re’ut. She has a beautiful way of making your story special, sacred, and unique. Simply put, Re’ut is thoughtful, flexible, and deeply caring in her approach when working with a couple. I’ve never worked with someone who is so lovingly committed to their work and where their passion is so evidently palpable. Not only did Re’ut deliver a dream wedding weekend for us where she embraced us as a couple, she also celebrated with our families and filled our wedding weekend with positivity, calm, joy, and love. I could not recommend Re’ut enough. She is a gem and every couple would be honored to work with her. We have deep gratitude for the work, effort, and commitment she poured into our love story.
