We're so happy we chose Rabbi Paul!

Rabbi Paul was a fantastic addition to our wedding! He has always been very responsive and available for our questions, conducting a few meetings beforehand to get to know us and our preferences for our wedding ceremony. I am Jewish and my husband is not, and Rabbi made sure to design a ceremony that both Jewish and non-Jewish guests could appreciate and understand. He was also very flexible and agreeable to officiate during Shabbat and forego some parts of the ceremony we wanted to take out. Our guests are STILL talking about Rabbi Paul's beautiful singing and chanting during the ceremony, and how meaningful he made it. We would highly recommend!

Highly Recommend

Rabbi Offenkrantz officiated our wedding ceremony, and we highly recommend him. The ceremony was perfect, exactly how we wanted it! We also enjoyed our ketubah signing. He took the time to learn about us on facetime and he made the ceremony extra special by sharing our wedding vows with our guests. He was amazing, and we received so many compliments on how wonderful and special the ceremony was and on his beautiful singing voice.
