Cantor Laura Stein

where to turn, until we stumbled upon Cantor Stein, who stood out to us amongst the rest with her commitment to ceremony personalization, pre-marital get-to-know-yous and guidance, and overall welcoming demeanor. Her calming nature and sense of humor hooked us from the initial phone call and we knew we’d be in good hands with her by our side on our wedding day. The pre-marital sessions were a perfect blend of relationship building, information gathering, and detail planning. Cantor Stein did an AMAZING job getting to know us and it made all the difference when it came to the ceremony, which was beautifully personalized to us as a couple and our level of Jewish faith. By the time we reached the end of the aisle, it felt as though our cherished and long-time friend welcomed us under the chuppah, and that level of ease and comfort would not have been possible without Cantor Stein’s care throughout this journey. During our reception, both family and friends raved about our ceremony, asking how long we had known Cantor Stein (believing we had been friends for ages!). We are so grateful to her and the work she put in to making the ceremony truly special. Working with Cantor Stein was an absolute dream and we would recommend her a thousand times over!

and did not have the same good feeling) so we knew we wanted to work with her. She even worked within our budget. Cantor Stein was helpful and clear when explaining the entire wedding ceremony from beginning to end. She was willing and able to answer all the questions we had, and boy did we have a bunch of questions, haha! During our meetings we felt welcomed and respected. She knew what kind of questions to ask us to get to know us better and also helped us discover new things about each other. Our meetings were professional and friendly, and were held at her office in Midtown. At the ceremony she was punctual and well prepared. Many of our guest complimented us on how Cantor Steins led the ceremony. She was funny, compassionate, and welcoming of everyone. Cantor Stein was thorough in explaining (in English and Hebrew) the meanings and traditions of all parts of the ceremony, which allowed all of our guest, even non-Jewish, to be a part of the ceremony. Oh and her voice, her singing voice is spectacular. Many of our guest, and us too, where in awe. We highly recommend Cantor Stein for couple looking to have a great wedding experience from preparation to ceremony, from beginning to end. With much love and appreciation we write these comments and thank her for all she has done for us.

e day. She worked with us to create a ceremony that was truly personal and spiritual. Her voice is amazing! Cantor Stein was an integral part of our day and we are so glad she was the one to marry us.

s thorough and thought provoking. She made us both feel comfortable opening up and really took the time to get to know us as a couple. During the ceremony she was so accommodating to all of our guests by explaining the Jewish traditions in English and then stunning the crowd with her voice. Laura crafted a ceremony that was traditionally Jewish but still modern and helped guide us to make choices for the ceremony that made us comfortable. She’s unbelievable and we couldn’t have had a better experience!

onditions. Cantor Laura was professional, warm, knowledgeable and was an instrumental part of our day. We loved working with her!

guage and some scheduling logistics. Thanks again Laura!

calm and excited for the ceremony. We were thrilled with Cantor Stein's professionalism and would definitely refer her to anyone looking for an officiant!

d the combination of the two officiants was even more perfect than we imagined. Cantor Laura brought great joy and meaning to our ceremony, and the moments when she sang felt intimate and special. Jewish wedding ceremonies can sometimes feel formulaic or forced - but Cantor Laura has an authenticity that makes everything feel "right." Thank you, Laura!

g for a cantor to officiate alone or want to hire a cantor to add music to your ceremony, I highly recommend Cantor Laura. She was professional and lovely and we couldn't have been more pleased with our experience!

ith the wedding planner to make sure that our ketubah signing didn't delay our photos after we needed to move the photo shoot inside. During the actual ceremony, Laura led a wedding that felt exactly true to us. Even though we'd been referred to Laura by a friend and didn't have personal relationships with her, she made sure that she got to know us during our counseling sessions and the ceremony felt personal, like she'd known us for years. So many guests commented after on her beautiful music and the words she spoke about me and my husband during the ceremony. I cannot say enough good things about Cantor Laura Stein. She was truly a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to people who are looking for someone to get to know you and to make you feel cared for throughout the process.

us to make choices that reflected our respective backgrounds. Since not everyone at our wedding was Jewish, it was important to me and my wife that people feel included and that there wasn't too much Hebrew. Cantor Stein was really accommodating and educated us about options for how to create a ceremony that wouldn't be alienating to people and would feel inclusive to all of the different religions represented. She was kind, professional, knowledgable and all around really easy to work with. I highly recommend Cantor Stein to people, especially if you are looking for someone warm and caring and who want a ceremony that's personalized and feels true to who you are as a couple!!

ess that our comfort and satisfaction with the service was her priority and that meant a lot to us, since we wanted to make sure that the service fully represented both of our traditions. My husband and I were really glad that everything was so seamless. Thank you, Cantor Stein, for a really meaningful day!
