Samantha L. Sent on 10/02/2022Wonderful!
My wife and I cannot say enough nice things about Rabbi Marcey! As one can imagine, planning a wedding is not easy. But she made this aspect seamless. We had multiple meetings (virtual and in-person) prior to our big day. She laid everything out in a clear and concise way and took time to answer all of our questions. As for the ceremony, it was organized, memorable and beautiful in every way. She was a pleasure to work with and we were so happy to have found her. Highly recommended!Rabbi/Cantor Marcey Wagner's reply:
Thank you Darren and Sam for your kind words. It was a true pleasure officiating at your wedding and even more so, getting to know you. I am thrilled that you were happy with the ceremony. Best of luck! -

Rabbi Marcey was the best decision we made for our wedding. I cannot tell you how many of my guests came up to me afterwards to tell me that this was the most amazing ceremony they had ever witnessed. From the very start, she took the time to get to know us over multiple Zoom meetings, fielding all of our questions and sharing her knowledge, for however long it took. After all, we had no idea what we were doing in the beginning, so she took us through all of the steps. She took the time to educate us on the significance of every Jewish tradition that went into our ceremony. She has a kind and nurturing demeanor, and these meetings were lots of fun. We trusted that we were in good hands right from the start and we were so completely right.
Our ceremony had all of the requisite Jewish elements in it that were executed flawlessly by Rabbi Marcey. Like she told us she would, she told the audience the meaning behind every tradition. She has a beautiful singing voice. The ceremony was both educational and beautiful to the ear.
I’m saving the best part for last. Our ceremony was personalized in such a way that my distant relatives now know who I am and who my partner is. Early on, Rabbi Marcey asked us as our “homework” to write her why we want to spend the rest of our lives together. She brought these excerpts to life in the ceremony---there was nothing cliché whatsoever about what we had to say about one another. Our unique identities shined through our words by way of Rabbi Marcey. She painted a picture of what a loving couple we are and showed our guests why we are so perfect together. This was unlike any other ceremony out there and better than anything we could have hoped for. Thank you Rabbi Marcey from the bottom of our hearts for such an unforgettable event.

Igor K. Sent on 10/11/2021Rabbi Marcey's service was a highlight of our wedding
Rabbi Marcey's officiating was one of the highlights of our wedding. We had both a Catholic ceremony in a church and a Jewish ceremony at the reception venue. While that might sound like a lot of ceremonies, Rabbi Marcey made it informative and entertaining for all of our guests, and touching and beautiful for my wife and I. She was very helpful throughout the entire process answering questions and even going out of her way to help us get a custom Ketubah. Rabbi Marcey was wonderful to work with and I highly recommend her services.Rabbi/Cantor Marcey Wagner's reply:
Igor, thank you for your kind words. It was a true pleasure officiating for you and Brittany at your beautiful wedding ceremony. You both put so much effort and care in planning this day, and i looked forward to our discussions and meeting each time.
Best of luck in your married life! -

Perfect in an interfaith wedding
My husband and I come from Jewish and Christian backgrounds and wanted to include both traditions in our wedding. Rabbi Marcey seamlessly integrated the Jewish aspects of the seven wedding vows and ketubah signing into our wedding day. Both our Jewish and non-Jewish guests loved it and appreciated the open-ness and warmth of Rabbi Marcey's approach to the traditions. She was perfect!Rabbi/Cantor Marcey Wagner's reply:
Thank you Joyce for your kind words. I am thrilled that you found the ceremony to be everything you hoped for! It was a true pleasure. -

Jessica L. Sent on 03/07/2021Warm, knowledgeable, and proficient officiant
Marcey was easy to work with, not only because she is highly organized and a great communicator, but also because she made my wife and I feel at ease right from the get-go. She worked with us to craft a ceremony which contained meaningful, personal details, while still feeling connected to historic, Jewish customs. Marcey is also extremely knowledgeable and taught us about both the components of a traditional ceremony and the different spiritual and academic approaches to same-sex ceremonies. She asked us poignant questions, the answers to which made their way into our vows and into Marcey's comments during our ceremony. Marcey's expertise, warmth, and genuineness permeated every interaction leading up to the wedding and shone through during the ceremony itself. We could not have been more pleased to have chosen Marcey to officiate our wedding.Rabbi/Cantor Marcey Wagner's reply:
Thank you Jessica for your kind words. It was such a pleasure serving as your officiant and I am so pleased that you were so happy with your wedding ceremony. I wish you both much happiness! -

Sangeeta Sent on 09/02/2023Beautiful, Engaging, and Welcoming
I cannot praise Rabbi Marcey enough! From our first email communications with Rabbi Marcey to our first call she was to welcoming and excited to work with us. I was determined to show respect to my husband’s family and his religious upbringing, just as he had done for me and Rabbi Marcey made that happen for us. Not only did she meet with us several times throughout the year of planning, but she also sent us questionnaires that she used to create the ceremony we wanted. I knew I had wanted her to perform our ceremony quickly after reading raving reviews, but when she told my husband and I that she would more than love to coordinate our ceremony with my Hindu priest, I was so impressed. To have Rabbi Marcey be so open and willing to do that solidified our desire to have her officiate our ceremony and what a BEAUTIFUL, heartfelt, emotional, and engaging ceremony it was. I truly hope that our videographer was able to capture all of it because it was just so amazing. She had the guests laughing and crying along. She explained every detail of the ceremony and our guests appreciated that so much. Her attention to detail is impeccable. She incorporated conversations we had had with her so beautifully into our ceremony. I also appreciated her prayers for my dad incorporated into the ceremony, as he had been hospitalized the morning of our wedding. After the ceremony and throughout this week, I have had several people complement our ceremony and how engaging and wonderful Rabbi Marcey was. The only adverse thing I can say is that Rabbi Marcey was so determined to make sure we experienced the yichud, that I never got to say goodbye to her and thank her for giving us such a beautiful and memorable ceremony. I hope that my husband and I have the pleasure of working with Rabbi Marcey again in the future! -

Marcey was instrumental in creating the wedding ceremony of our dreams! Our preparations were efficient but extremely thoughtful, to craft a very personal and meaningful service. And Marcey’s delightful warmth and charisma (and gorgeous voice!) shined through to make the experience all the more wonderful. Our guests were all wowed, and we were over the moon…we couldn’t recommend Marcey more highly!Rabbi/Cantor Marcey Wagner's reply:
Sarah and Dan it means so much to me to see in print how pleased you were with me as your wedding officiant. I also enjoyed the process and getting to know you, it was a true joy for me as well! -
