Cantor Laura Stein

Cantor Stein was fantastic to work with for our June 2024 wedding ceremony. She spent the time getting to know us and our relationship, and she worked with us to craft a ceremony with Jewish elements that would feel accessible to all of the Christian family members in attendance. We both were nervous about being the center of attention, so we had decided that we wanted to exchange our vows privately, but Cantor Stein encouraged us to add something to the ceremony called “Three favorite things” where we sent her our 3 favorite things about each other privately, and she wove those into the ceremony itself. It was such an unexpectedly intimate and joyful thing to hear on our day and to share with our guests, and we loved that it didn’t require us to say anything live. So many of our guests complimented Cantor Stein for crafting such an engaging ceremony. Thank you! Photos courtesy of Heather Pauline.

We cannot recommend Cantor Stein highly enough! From the moment we began working with her, it was clear she brings not only professionalism and deep knowledge of Jewish traditions but also a personal warmth that made the entire process so meaningful and memorable. Cantor Stein’s thoughtful three-step process was a game-changer. First, she took the time to truly get to know us as a couple, asking insightful questions that encouraged us to reflect on our relationship. Next, she facilitated essential conversations that helped us prepare for marriage, ensuring we were aligned on the big questions and ready for this incredible journey together. Finally, she worked closely with us to craft a ceremony that was not only steeped in the beautiful traditions of Judaism but also uniquely meaningful to us as a couple. Her dedication to making our pivotal moment of becoming husband and wife deeply special was evident in every detail. One of the highlights of our ceremony was Cantor Stein’s inclusion of “3 Favorite Things.” This creative touch allowed our friends and family to hear personal anecdotes about our relationship, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse into what makes our bond so strong. It brought laughter, happy tears, and a true sense of connection to everyone in attendance. Thanks to Cantor Stein, our wedding day was everything we hoped for and more. She is a gifted officiant who combines tradition, creativity, and heart in a way that is truly unparalleled. We feel so grateful to have had her by our side during such an important milestone in our lives and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a meaningful, personalized, and unforgettable wedding ceremony. Thank you, Cantor Stein, for helping to make our day so memorable!

We feel so lucky to have had Cantor Stein officiate our wedding. From the second we met, we were struck by her warmth, wisdom, and genuine care for us as a couple. She led us through every step of the process with grace and thoughtfulness, helping us craft a ceremony that was deeply meaningful and truly reflected who we are. On the day itself, she brought such a calming, happy presence that made both the pre-ceremony traditions and ceremony even more special. Beyond the ceremony, we are so grateful to know that Cantor Laura will continue to be part of our lives. She’s not only an incredible officiant but someone we now consider a lifelong friend. Her kindness, professionalism, and authenticity made all the difference, and we cannot recommend her enough.

We are so glad we found Cantor Stein! She was the perfect blend of professional and personal. The entire 3-step process worked so well -- her getting to know us and our getting to know her. Her guidance truly made us feel extremely comfortable and we knew we were being taken care of. The ceremony wildly exceeded every expectation! She weaved in the perfect mix of humor and spirituality. She truly got us -- we will forever be grateful!

Perfect Ceremony I can’t recommend Cantor Laura Stein enough she was exactly what we were looking for. I am Jewish and my husband was raised Catholic. We knew we wanted a Jewish ceremony but we also wanted an officiant that understood us both as an interfaith and queer couple. Cantor Stein completely fit the bill. She has the perfect mix of traditional yet modern. She has experience working with LGBTQ couples so she made us feel seen. She met with us three times and really took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple to try to create a ceremony that was meaningful and personal. She even provided couples counseling where we got to learn more about each other on the issues that are important in a marriage. It was so beneficial and our ceremony was that perfect blend of traditional yet us. Our non Jewish family raved about wanting to convert and everyone still talks about how great she was coming up on year later. Cantor Stein really took her time and made sure our ceremony was just perfect. Highly recommend!

Cantor Laura is awesome! She made the ketubah and marriage license signing feel like such a profound and special moment -- and then cracked up the entire room during our ceremony. We really appreciated how she took the time and effort to get to know us as a couple, then made our ceremony feel like an accurate reflection of the two of us. She injected both gravity and delight into the ceremony. And her voice is stunning as well. It was so nice to know we had an experienced officiant who could handle the ceremony for us -- it took such an important part of wedding planning off our plate.

From our first conversation we felt very comfortable with her. We are so glad we signed up for the full three sessions (getting to know us, counseling, and planning). Throughout the sessions and the email conversations, she really helped us focus on our union, rather than the wedding planning which can feel all-consuming at times. We gained new insights in our relationship, she was an extremely supportive resource to help us navigate the Jewish traditions, and she was an incredible officiant! As so many other reviewers name - many, many of our guests (from the very religious to the non-religious) let us know that our ceremony felt super personal, that she clearly knew us well, and that Cantor Stein made the event really meaningful. She also has a phenomenally lovely singing voice. She made our wedding ceremony truly special, and we wouldn’t change a single thing!

Cantor Stein was incredible to work with. She made us feel at ease immediately, she respected and understood us as a couple. She did not try to force anything on us and worked with us to create a ceremony that was unique and special to us. She has a lot of insights and a very calming way about her so it made the day that much better! We love her and would recommend her to anyone.

Cantor Stein is the best! She made my husband and I feel so comfortable prior to our wedding. She helped us navigate important premarital discussions and was profession, warm, and caring throughout the process. Cantor Stein navigated our wedding day perfectly! We encountered a lot of last minute changes on our wedding day, due to unforeseen rain, and she was extremely helpful in seamlessly rolling with the changes. She was an integral voice in ensuring everything was set up appropriately under the chuppah and helped alleviate any stress. Finally, Cantor Stein knew us well and was able to convey our love and our story so well at our wedding. We are so happy that she was a part of our special day, and we can't wait for her to join us for the next simcha :).

Cantor Stein is an amazing officiant and was the perfect fit for our interfaith ceremony. She took the time to get to know the both of us well, and made sure to incorporate the aspects of both of our cultures (Jewish/Chinese) that we wanted present in our ceremony. She is incredibly kind and organized, and made our marriage process so warm. During our wedding reception, the majority of our guests stopped us to tell us how beautiful our ceremony was (and how amazing Cantor Stein is). We look forward to including her in our future life events!

Cantor Laura was absolutely amazing and I only have the most positive things to say about our experience with her!!! From our very first call with her we immediately felt so happy and comfortable with her. Our sessions working together were easy, comfortable and fun! We are an interfaith couple and she made us feel so comfortable and so happy the entire time we worked with her. She worked with us to incorporate the amount of religion that me and my husband both felt comfortable with. Our ceremony could not have been more amazing. It was both special and touching but also funny and she had the whole room laughing too! I had so many people come up to me afterwards letting me know how amazing she was. I wouldn’t have changed a thing - we’re so happy we used her!

If I could leave 100 stars I would. Cantor Stein is absolutely incredible. My husband and I knew we wanted someone to marry us that was warm, friendly, not too serious and brought a positive light to the ceremony. Cantor Stein did that and more. From the moment we met her and every time we left a session, my husband and I turned to each other and beamed at how wonderful she is. Getting to know Cantor Stein, and having her get to know us was a treat. She not only helped us on this journey to get married with all the details of planning the ceremony, but helped us grow as a couple as well. She brought the biggest smiles, laughs, and such joy to our wedding ceremony. It's been 2 weeks since our wedding and everyone cannot stop saying how much they enjoyed our ceremony. We can't wait to work with Cantor Stein again. We are so grateful to have found a wonderful person to marry us, and also a lifelong friend.

Cantor Stein is absolutely the BEST! When neither of our childhood rabbis was able to perform our wedding ceremony, my husband and I were disappointed. But then we found Cantor Stein and knew right away that we were in good hands. She came to our apartment and got to know us as a couple and as individuals, and it was immediately clear how much she cared. When it came to the ceremony, Cantor Stein was a pro—from the planning to the day-of, she knows exactly what she’s doing and will always make you feel at ease. But even though she’s done countless weddings and has good systems in place, she will never make you feel like your wedding is just another wedding. She makes every part of the ceremony special and personal. We are so grateful to have had Cantor Stein throughout the entire process — our wedding would not have been the same without her.

Cantor Stein is THE BEST. Planning a destination wedding in another country (Cartagena, Colombia) is never easy, and finding an officiant can be even harder. Cantor Stein was with us every step of the way , and provided a guiding hand for some of the more difficult pieces of planning a wedding. My partner and I come from very different backgrounds culturally and where religion is concerned, and Cantor Stein was able to help us find a happy medium incorporating many Jewish traditions with some new and mixed non religious ideas. Cantor Stein also provided Spanish translation for the most important parts of the ceremony for many of those in attendance to be included on our special day. We opted for the premarital counseling sessions and they proved quite fruitful. It really helped us dive into our relationship with our families and religion in our upbringing to make sure we were on the same page not only for the wedding day, but all the days that come after. Overall we would 1000000% recommend Cantor Stein for any and all weddings and for all your friends and family as well'

Finding the right officiant for your wedding is crucial. Looking back on my wedding day now, I am so thankful Cantor Stein had my date open. She supports all backgrounds, (my husband is half Jewish) which can be difficult to find. Cantor Stein included sessions to get to know us as a couple and what we wanted from the ceremony. This was helpful for us to cultivate the perfect ceremony and to feel more comfortable. It got us talking as a couple about what we wanted (how religious, what traditions, length, vows, etc). The Cantor even provided us with places to get our Ketubah and proofread it prior to ordering to ensure all was correct for the big day. She always made herself available for questions. She personalized the ceremony and made us feel incredibly comfortable standing and speaking in front of so many people. She has a beautiful singing voice and energy. The ceremony was crafted perfectly to us! I got so many compliments post wedding about the ceremony and the Cantor. Can't recommend her enough! I treasure the video my friend took of our ceremony. I didn't have a videographer, so it was an added bonus and treasure to be able to rewatch!

We absolutely loved working with Cantor Stein. She totally got us and was instrumental in helping us shape our wedding ceremony. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her and really appreciated her intelligence, warmth and sense of humor. We recommend getting her full 3 session package - well worth it. She helped with every aspect from the katubah to the vows. Everything ran like clockwork and was exactly how we wanted it to be. Look no further, she is the best!

Working with Cantor Laura was the BEST decision we could have made!!!! She took the time to make our ceremony so personal and added in elements of Judaism that I wanted but left out what we didn’t (my husband isn’t Jewish) we still have friends (Jewish and non Jewish) come up to us to tell us what a beautiful ceremony it was. I wouldn’t change one thing about it and I really thank Laura for being able to put our dream of our ceremony into real life.

Cantor Stein was incredible. As an Asian American woman who grew up Christian with little exposure to Jewish weddings, Cantor Stein made the process seamless and handled it with grace. We had an interfaith ceremony and Cantor Stein was very respectful to my pastor and blessed us with a beautiful ceremony. She was very gracious explaining Jewish traditions to me so we could decide which elements we wanted to incorporate into the wedding. She also did an excellent job making our guests feel comfortable as well, explaining the traditions as she helped us perform them. I cannot recommend Cantor Stein enough, she brought us closer and blessed us with a sweet and memorable ceremony.

Cantor Laura Stein was such a pleasure to work with. From the first email to the ceremony, she was so easy to communicate with. She is kind and understanding. We had met with Cantor Stein a few times before our wedding, this enabled her to get to know us individually and as a couple. She also guided us in the planning of the ceremony. We chose to have a counseling session prior to the wedding, which enabled my husband and I to talk through some important topics before beginning our lives together. She helped us work through managing areas in our lives as a couple, in which we were different, and how to manage these differences in more effective ways. We are so happy we chose to have a counseling session before our marriage and would recommend her for this to all couples. My husband and I are an interfaith couple, Cantor Stein did an amazing job at the ceremony explaining to the audience, who were not Jewish, what was going on. We had so many guests come up to us to compliment her and how beautiful the ceremony was. She listened to what we wanted, she explained things we were unsure about, and she has the most amazing voice!

We are so happy we found Cantor Stein and can’t imagine anyone else officiating our wedding. Her beautiful words and singing made the day so special and filled with love and emotion. We especially appreciated how personal the ceremonies (Ketubah signing and wedding) were and we have received so many compliments about her from our guests. Our wedding day was better than we could have ever imagined, many thanks to Cantor Stein and her wonderful ideas for blending our cultures. She helped us find ways to incorporate both Chinese and Jewish traditions, and supported us in learning about wedding traditions and finding modern interpretations that resonated with us. We both felt truly represented. We could go on forever but can’t say enough how grateful we are for Cantor Stein's support and your work. She is so, so special.

It was so wonderful working with Cantor Laura Stein. We were struggling for a while to find the right fit for us since we are a same-sex couple and are not both Jewish - not everyone was so open to this diversity. While our wedding ceremony was non-denominational, we wanted to incorporate both of our religions and having a ketubah signing was very important to us. Cantor Stein was kind, respectful, knowledgeable, flexible and helped make our wedding day vision a reality!

We are endlessly grateful for Laura's absolutely beautiful ceremony. It was everything we ever could have asked for, and more. Laura painted such a stunning picture of the love that we share for one another. Our family and friends felt the magic that she helped cultivate under the chuppah. Thank you a million times!

Cantor Stein is the absolute best wedding officiant for your Jewish ceremony. We are not very religious but still wanted a traditional enough ceremony for our family and Cantor Stein really helped us make our ceremony meaningful and traditional in a way that was special to us. Her counseling sessions beforehand were very valuable too and I would highly recommend that package. Our guests did not stop raving about her. We love Cantor Stein so much that she did the naming portion of our son's Bris just one year after our wedding, which was really special. We will for sure be inviting Cantor Stein to perform all religious ceremonies for our family in the future.

We had the privilege of working with Cantor Laura Stein for our wedding ceremony, and it was an exceptional experience that surpassed all expectations. From the very beginning, Cantor Stein's warm and inviting personality made us feel at ease. She took the time to understand our vision and personalized the ceremony to reflect our values and beliefs. Her vast knowledge of various musical traditions was evident as she curated a beautiful blend of Jewish and contemporary songs, creating a harmonious atmosphere that touched everyone's hearts. Cantor Stein's professionalism and support throughout the planning process were invaluable. She was prompt and responsive, offering valuable suggestions and ensuring that every detail was meticulously planned. During the ceremony, Cantor Stein's commanding yet comforting presence set the perfect tone. Her powerful voice filled the venue with pure joy, evoking a range of emotions from laughter to tears of happiness. Her dedication and passion for her craft were palpable, leaving a lasting impact on us and our guests. Working with Cantor Laura Stein was an absolute pleasure. She is not only a talented musician but also a genuinely caring individual. Her ability to create a meaningful and unforgettable experience for couples is unmatched. If you are seeking a cantor who will bring magic, spirituality, and authenticity to your wedding ceremony, look no further. Cantor Stein will go above and beyond to make your day truly special. We are forever grateful for the incredible experience she provided us, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in search of an exceptional wedding ceremony. -Ben & Jess

Cantor Stein did an amazing job as the officiant for our wedding. We were so pleased with how she handled the entire process, from start to finish. We had our Uncle (who had no officiating experience) act as a co-officiant with her, and she was incredible in balancing their roles to incorporate him how we wanted but to also keep the ceremony on track and exactly to our wishes. She was great in communicating with us and clearly explaining the ceremony process. She had tremendous flexibility in both incorporating our uncle and having the exact level of Judaism in the ceremony that we wanted. We couldn't have been happier with how intimate she made a 150 person outdoor ceremony feel. We're so glad we chose Cantor Stein for the most important day of our lives!

We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have found Cantor Laura Stein, and hiring her for our wedding was truly the best decision we could have made. It was a long and challenging journey as we got married during the pandemic and Cantor Laura Stein proved to be an invaluable source of support throughout. We had originally envisioned a 150+ wedding that Cantor Laura Stein was going to officiate, however we had to switch to a 15 person, small & intimate backyard wedding. Not only did Cantor Laura Stein do a fabulous & memorable job, but she was able to continue being our Cantor a year later, when we eventually did have a 150+ larger wedding. Her melodic voice and skillful guitar playing added an enchanting touch to the entire experience. Her calming energy and pleasant demeanor set the perfect atmosphere for our special day. And her words during the wedding were so sweet, thoughtful, & meaningful. After the wedding, we received constant praise from our guests about how great Cantor Laura Stein was. Before the wedding, she also had us do a pre-marital counseling session, which was helpful and brought my wife and I closer together. What truly sets Cantor Laura Stein apart is the genuine connection she forms with her clients. She invited us to a virtual Passover event and has checked in on how we were doing after the wedding. We loved Cantor Laura Stein so much, that my wife’s sister decided to hire her for her wedding. In fact, she even flew Cantor Laura Stein to Florida for the occasion. My wife and I got to talk to her during the 3rd wedding, and it brought us such great joy catching up with her. As expected, she delivered yet another exceptional performance, making the wedding truly unforgettable for the bride, groom, and all the guests in attendance.

Cantor Laura was the best part of our wedding. She took the time to get to know us individually and as a couple, and was sensitive to our unique needs and requests. Our ceremony was personal, emotional, and funny - and we are still getting so many compliments on it being one of the best ceremonies our guests attended. You will not regret choosing her as your officiant!

Cantor Stein was everything we were looking for our officiant. Our sessions with her before the wedding were thorough and personal, and she made a point to support us in the ceremony we wanted for our interfaith wedding. The ceremony was more perfect than we imagined. She included the Jewish traditions we wanted while making the non-Jewish side of the family feel included. Everyone commented on her lovely voice and what a meaningful and special ceremony she led. We would recommend Cantor Stein to anyone!

Cantor Stein was truly incredible. She officiated our wedding perfectly - guiding a ceremony that was spiritual, personal, and touching but also humorous and fun! Our guests raved saying that they really felt connected to the ceremony because it was so emblematic of the bride and groom. Leading up to the ceremony Cantor Stein really got to know us and guided us through as we navigated the stresses of wedding planning. We really enjoyed our sessions and felt truly connected to the process and it is all thanks to Cantor Stein.

We are so happy with our decision to work with Cantor Stein for our wedding ceremony. We met with her regularly throughout our engagement and she made a conscious effort to really get to know us and make our wedding ceremony feel personalized to us and our values. Cantor Stein was also incredibly supportive throughout our planning process – which included rescheduling our wedding three times due to COVID. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and made so special thanks to her. We highly recommend working with Cantor Stein for your wedding (or any other life ceremony)!

Cantor Laura Stein was one of the first vendors we booked for our November 2020 wedding. It was so important to me to have someone interfaith and when I saw she was also a therapist I knew she’d be perfect. She was so accommodating and kind in postponing our wedding from November 2010 to November 2021. Our actual ceremony was perfect. Interfaith, mostly Jewish but never made my husband do anything he wasn’t comfortable with. She came to our apartment like two weeks before the wedding to go over everything and I think that was the first time I started to feel really excited instead of nervous. My husband and I still talk about how lovely that evening was. She’s amazing, warm and incredible at what she does.

Working with Cantor Stein for our wedding ceremony was one of the best decisions we made. She made the whole process leading up to the wedding feel personal, comfortable, and customized for us. She made the Ketubah signing moment so special and she did such a beautiful job during the ceremony and seamlessly weaved together Jewish and Greek Orthodox elements for our wedding. Her voice is incredible!!! We would highly recommend using Cantor Stein for your wedding ceremony.

I’ve recommended Cantor Laura Stein to every person I know!! She made our wedding so special by incorporating traditions from both of our families. Plus, we had the best time working with her!

Cantor Stein was a phenomenal officiant for our wedding! She met with us regularly in advance of the wedding to prepare, got to know us really well, led an engaging counseling session, and delivered her thoughtful remarks flawlessly on the day-of. Highly recommend Cantor Stein for your wedding.

​We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Cantor Stein! Throughout the whole process, Cantor Stein was phenomenal-- she was communicative, supportive, and so so wonderful. We wanted to work with Cantor Stein to craft a ceremony that honored multiple heritages (involving Spanish, English and Hebrew). When it came time to talk about the ceremony details, Cantor Stein walked us through each element and gave us options on how we could incorporate it (or not). The result was a ceremony that was more perfect than we could've imagined, and so deeply personal. In fact, our guests are still talking about it -- some even saying they felt they really got to know us from the ceremony. We're so thrilled we worked with Cantor Stein and would 100% recommend her to anyone.

Cantor Stein performed a top-notch wedding ceremony. We had several guests come up to us afterwards to compliment her and the beautiful ceremony. Throughout the lead-up, she offered several sessions to guide us through the wedding process and ensure the ceremony would be tailored to our preferences.

Working with Cantor Stein throughout our wedding process was an absolute pleasure. She always made us feel comfortable and happy when meeting with us prior to the wedding. Her performance at the wedding was beautiful, full of tradition, yet also personal to us. She also has such a beautiful singing voice! Most of our wedding guests commented on how wonderful Cantor Stein was. We highly recommend her!

We had a great experience with Cantor Stein as we planned our wedding, through the ceremony, and final steps afterwards. She was responsive and courteous throughout and led a beautiful ketubah signing and ceremony that we received numerous compliments on. We also recommend participating in the self-assessment and discussion sessions ahead of the big day to better understand yourself, your partner, and your fusion as a couple.

I loved working with Cantor Stein. She is such an awesome person, she brought her own great personality to our ceremony, as well as incorporating us of course. She was reliable, caring, and funny! I couldn't recommend her enough!

Laura is The BEST of the BEST! As a Wedding Dj, I’ve partaken in many different ceremonies and hundreds of weddings. I have never seen anyone engage an audience like Laura. Her delivery is clear and distinct, yet her communication and interaction with her audience is second to none. Laura was extremely wonderful to work with. She has everything down pact when it comes to a ceremony. She takes her duties seriously, and develops a solid relationship with her clients and the people around her! I would heavily recommend her for Your Big Day!

An incredible officiant! From our first conversation with Cantor Stein she was professional, warm, and insightful. She seamlessly navigated the dynamics of having both orthodox and totally secular family at the wedding. Everyone raved about the ceremony and her voice. We wholeheartedly recommend her as an exceptionally talented officiant who will go above and beyond to craft the perfect ceremony for you.

Cantor Stein was the most important part of our wedding experience. As an interfaith couple, we had no idea how to incorporate religion into our ceremony. We knew we wanted two officiants, but we were worried that it would be confusing and messy. Cantor Stein knew exactly what to do and executed it with Pastor Lawrence (who she had never worked with before) to perfection. Cantor Stein is organized, understanding, and well-equipped to execute the couple's needs. The ceremony was personal, spiritual, and engaging. It really was the highlight of our wedding and we absolutely could not have done it without her. We give Cantor Stein our highest recommendation!

It was January 2021, just 5 months before our newly scheduled wedding (after postponing it twice), and we were without an officiant, as our rabbi was not available on the new date. We were referred by a friend of a friend to Cantor Stein, who happened to be available, and - wow - did we get lucky. Cantor Stein was amazing and in every way exceeded our expectations. That’s not to say we didn’t expect great things -- we felt a great connection to Cantor Stein from the outset and really enjoyed our zoom sessions with her leading up to the big day. But it was her performance during the ceremony that really set her apart from other Jewish wedding officiants. She spoke beautifully AND sang beautifully. She was funny, thoughtful and made us feel as relaxed as possible under the chuppah. All of our guests (both in person and virtual) loved her! In fact, throughout the reception and then after the wedding, the most common feedback we heard was something like “that was the best wedding ceremony I’ve ever been attended” and “your Cantor killed it!” She truly made the day as special as can be. Thanks Cantor Stein for everything!

After we got engaged, the planning process seemed overwhelming. We knew we wanted a Jewish wedding ceremony, but didn’t have any personal connections to an officiant. We resorted to looking online and found a few possible options. We spoke with a handful of cantors and rabbis but by far felt the most comfortable with Cantor Stein. She was extremely professional, flexible, and responsive throughout the entire planning process. We especially appreciated how dedicated she was to us by offering guidance and support when we re-scheduled our wedding due to the pandemic. Throughout our engagement, we had a number of video-conferences with Cantor Stein. She provided a ton of clarity about the order of operations on our actual wedding day and what we would need to purchase/bring with us. Cantor Stein helped make the pre-marital counseling sessions fun but also extremely beneficial for us. She took the time to get to know us, and instilled confidence that our ceremony was going to reflect our personalities and values. On the day of the wedding, Cantor Stein was committed to making our day go as smoothly as possible. She came prepared and was always cognizant of our timeline. The ketubah signing was a highlight of our special day and the ceremony exceeded our expectations. Cantor Stein found a way to incorporate two kiddish cups into our ceremony and did an excellent job explaining Jewish traditions to our guests. She was extremely engaging and has an excellent singing voice! Our families and friends were brought to tears by her ceremony and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Cantor Stein. We can't recommend her enough and look forward remaining connected with her for years to come!

Laura is a great wedding officiant! We hired her for our virtual ceremony in May 2021. She explained everything via WhatsApp, answered very quickly and made it very easy. Simple signing, without zoom-guests and vows, is $200. We didn’t have a marriage license at the time, and it’s been a few weeks before we finalized all preparations for our signing (=wedding). But when we had everything, Laura made the final step as fast as super hero Flash, almost in seconds! We didn’t need a long video chat with guests but still, it was very easy. We paid by Zelle, exchanged documents and we were married! Highly recommend Laura!!!

Cantor Laura was amazing! We had a virtual "Covid" wedding and she was prompt, professional, super sweet with a great sense of humor...made our little kitchen table wedding so much fun! Highly recommend.

Our ceremony could not have been any more perfect. Laura Stein was the perfect officiant. She was responsive, helpful and met all of our needs. We had such a beautiful ceremony! I 100% recommend Laura to officiate your nuptials. Thank you so much, Laura!!!! A very happy couple! Jannando & Joseph

They say to do what you love and you won’t work a day in your life. That’s so clearly what Cantor Laura Stein has done. You can tell from her immediate, congratulatory responses, to the fact that she is charging fair prices in New York, to her excitement when she pronounces you married. Cantor Laura is incredible. We had a Covid wedding in September and couldn’t get our marriage license in time. We finally get it on a Wednesday and reached out to Laura on a Friday, after hearing raving reviews from a friend and we were set for our no frills just signing wedding... THAT DAY. Cantor Laura provided us with a witness and clear instructions as to what we needed to do. We were blown away by how easy she made every step of the process. We are eternally grateful for her amazing would and will never stop recommending her!

We asked Cantor Laura to officiate our "pandemic wedding" in our courtyard in June, 2020. She came recommended to us by a family friend and we could not have been happier! She held virtual premarital counseling sessions with us, helped us grow as a couple throughout the wedding planning, and helped us think through our entire wedding ceremony. She helped us have the perfect Jewish wedding for us. She incorporated all the things and mementos that were important to us as a couple. She helped us think through and execute all the details related to sharing our wedding with our guests via Zoom. Her words made it clear that she understood who we were as a couple. It's an added bonus that her voice is beautiful. We absolutely loved our wedding, and Cantor Laura helped to make it such a memorable, wondering day!

Cantor Stein was a pleasure to work with and helped make our wedding day personal and special. My husband and I were originally supposed to get married in Peru but our plans changed because of the pandemic. Cantor Stein informed us about project Cupid so we were able to apply for an online marriage license promptly, and then helped us plan and execute a beautiful ceremony that included elements of my Jewish American upbringing and my husband's Latin upbringing. We loved the fact that Cantor Stein spoke Spanish and had lived in South America previously so she could relate to both of us. I highly recommend Cantor Stein for your upcoming in person or zoom wedding and plan to ask her to help us renew our vows whenever it is safe for us to travel to Peru for our reception.

Despite having met only virtually and a year ago, it still feels like we have known Cantor Stein our whole lives. That is the easiest way to describe how personal of an approach Cantor Stein takes. She perfectly balanced professionalism, intimacy and spiritualism to make a uniquely special experience. She then went above and beyond, acting as our advisor and friend as the Pandemic complicated everything. She made our small Pandemic wedding as perfect as it could have been and will undoubtedly make our future party just as special :)

Cantor Stein went above and beyond for us when we contacted her 30 days before-hand to officiate an impromptu, quarantine-style Jewish wedding. Not only did she take the time to get to know us and learn our story, but she incorporated our uniqueness into the ceremony and made it feel wonderfully personal. Additionally, her singing voice is absolutely beautiful and it amplified the excitement of the moment. Bottom line - she will make you and your wedding feel special. If you are in need of an officiant for a Jewish wedding who is registered in both NYC and NYS, I highly recommend that you consider Cantor Laura Stein!

We hired Cantor Laura to officiant our Zoom wedding, as virtual weddings our now legal in New York. She did a fantastic job walking us through the process and making sure all of our paperwork was properly handled. She worked with us to make our ceremony feel special and our guests even commented on what a wonderful job she did. If you are having a virtual wedding in NY, I would not hesitate to hire Cantor Laura!

Working with Laura was so seamless and wonderful! My husband and I were very nervous with how to make an interfaith wedding work in order to incorporate both faiths and Laura put us at ease the second we got on the phone with her. Her experience with interfaith weddings was greatly appreciated (especially since our Pastor had never performed one). After our ceremony, I can not tell you how many of our guests came up to us to talk about how it was the best ceremony they had ever witnessed. I truly don't think that would have been possible if it weren't for Cantor Laura. I would 100% recommend her for all your ceremony needs!!

Cantor Laura was amazing! We were looking for someone who would be able to officiate our socially distanced, intimate ceremony on May 24th, and still incorporate Jewish traditions that we found meaningful. We immediately clicked with Laura, and were on the same page about what was important and most meaningful, especially during this time when everything we had originally planned was so very up in the air. After our initial call, we had a follow up conversation to go over the logistics and what elements were important to us (and what things we could leave out). It was a pleasant reassurance that we were all on the same page, and she didn't force anything on us that we were not comfortable with. She put together an amazing ceremony, including a meaningful poem we wanted read, and very clearly and warmly articulated what this life stage event is all about. She did all of this in a 1-2 week turnaround! We received so many compliments on how wonderful the ceremony was, and how great the Cantor was. We believe we definitely made the right choice, and were fortunate to have Cantor Laura perform our ceremony. It will forever be something we will cherish!
