g if we had known him for years! He made everything so personable and listened to every one of our requests. If we could rate him 10 stars we would. Extremely organized and professional. Thank you so much!!

, he made my husband and I feel very comfortable and helped us navigate through the entire process. Though living far away, he was always just a text or email away and answered all our questions. He provided lots of options for customizing our ceremony with regard to the level of religiousness and incorporation of family traditions, and ensured smooth flow throughout the ceremony. He recommended a great ketubah website and also reviewed it for the English and Hebrew portions. He made a point to get to know us throughout the process and used that information to personalize his remarks. We had a large variation in the type of guests, ranging from non-Jews with very little religious exposure to a couple of guests much more observant, and all enjoyed the ceremony and Rabbi and appreciated the explanations he provided, as well as the personal touches he added. 100,000% would recommend to anybody looking for a Jewish or interfaith ceremony. Even if you've never met him before, you can feel at ease with Rabbi Jeffrey Astrachan, who will ensure you have a memorable and meaningful wedding.

ove story and crafted a ceremony that was not only beautiful but deeply personal and heartfelt. We aren't Jewish and had a non-religious wedding, and his words during our ceremony were so thoughtful and eloquent - he captured the essence of our relationship perfectly. So many of our guests came up to us afterward to say how moved they were by his words and how touched they felt by the ceremony. He created a space that felt intimate, meaningful, and filled with love. His presence was calming and reassuring, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was guiding us through such an important moment in our lives. We feel incredibly lucky to have had Jeff be a part of our wedding day, and we will cherish the memory of his beautiful words forever.

creating a truly Jewish wedding ceremony, with opportunities to integrate aspects of other traditions if we wished. He helped us create a ceremony that really felt like it was meant for us, and he delivered it beautifully. Our loved ones, from a variety of faiths, continue to talk about how beautiful our wedding ceremony was, and it was truly special to the two of us.

tion we wanted included in our wedding ceremony. He was charismatic, funny, wise, and the perfect Rabbi for our wedding. We would recommend Rabbi Astrachan to any jewish or interfaith couple looking for an awesome Rabbi to officiate their wedding.

ation made everything much easier then my wife and I were worried it would be initially. We are so incredibly grateful to have had Rabbi A officiate our wedding as the ceremony was absolutely incredible and truly something we shall remember forever.

ses how much his hard work meant to us. From our first virtual Zoom meeting to the goodbyes after the ceremony, it was evident that Rabbi Astrachan cared about us as a couple and making our ceremony meaningful, and his constant smile and calmness really made the entire process amazing. From the virtual meetings, to the homework, and to the help with making sure we had all the right ritual items, Rabbi Astrachan was a text, email, or phone/Zoom call away to help us make the ceremony unique for us as a couple. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would! Thank you, Rabbi, for making our day so memorable, meaningful, and full of smiles and love. We will remember it for the rest of our lives!

ated into the ceremony as I was marrying somebody not Jewish so his many of our friends and his family would understand the meaning behind everything. Prior to the wedding, Rabbi was very clear and helpful with obtaining the Ketubah, what we needed to bring with us the day of the wedding etc. I would absolutely recommend him to anybody looking for a ceremony filled with love, laughs and guidance along the way!

rything we ever dreamed of. We found him on The Knot and communicated via phone calls, Zoom, and emails for a little over a year before the wedding (he was one of the first vendors we booked). He was committed to actually getting to know us during this time and this made us comfortable enough to share personal experiences with him, which he then worked into the ceremony. We had an interfaith ceremony with the majority of the guest having never been to a Jewish ceremony before. He kept all of our guests fully engaged and even explained some of the Jewish wedding traditions to the guests as he went along so they understood the significance behind them. All our guests LOVED him and let us know what an amazing job he did and how unique and personalized his words were. We plan on maintaining a relationship with him, as he has made such a great impact on our lives. If you need a Rabbi for your wedding, look no further than Rabbi Astrachan! He is such a genuine person who truly cares about getting to know you and providing an experience that you and your guests will never forget!

zed wedding for my husband (Jewish) and myself (Catholic). We met with him several times in the months before the wedding and he placed careful attention to get to know us as individuals and a couple. He encouraged us to do wedding "homework", which was a series of fun questions that we answered independently and as a couple. He then used the answers in the wedding to ensure the ceremony was personalized to us. We had countless guests tell us it was the most unique ceremony they ever witnessed! Rabbi Astrachan traveled to Cincinnati, OH from Florida for our wedding and we will eagerly recommend his officiant services to any couple regardless of your religion, sexuality, race, culture, location, etc. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

ceremony go smoothly and had the hearts of both of our families. You definitely won’t regret having him be a part of your special day. Laila & David

our guests were raving about how wonderful he was. Meet him—you won’t choose anyone else! P.S. Our wedding was Steampunk and he came “Dressed to Impress!” Forever grateful, Amanda and Tomi

nt which allowed him to learn about each of us as individuals, how we met, and how we meshed as a couple. He asked for personal anecdotes which he then used to weave a uniquely personalized story about us as a couple. Although we had met with him only one time (on Super Bowl Sunday of all days, when HIS team, the Patriots would soon be taking the field), his ceremony gave the impression of knowing the two of us intimately for a long time. His mix of humor and faith and humility made our wedding ceremony a memorable experience for us and an inviting event for our family and friends.
