Rabbi Gruber officiated our wedding in November 2020 and we’re so glad he did! Not knowing he was familiar to the area, it was nice to bring Rabbi Gruber back to the area he once lived. Rabbi Gruber crafted a meaningful yet humorous ceremony fo...
r my wife and I. This was especially nice given the current state of the world with the coronavirus pandemic and all. Reading both in Hebrew and English, it was very insightful for my family specifically as they are not super familiar with Judaism. Furthermore, explaining some of the meanings behind what was being said allowed my family to learn why certain things were important and how it was relative to our marriage.
My wife and I would recommend Rabbi Gruber for any upcoming ceremony as he really helped make our day special. We even asked him to add a few more details to our already drafted ceremony rather late in the process and he was happy to do so! Rabbi Gruber is very friendly, professional, and is also reasonably priced. If you’re in the need for his services, we’d highly recommend him!
Rabbi Gruber went above and beyond expectations to officiate our wedding in October 2020. On top of coronavirus restrictions and a constantly changing regulatory environment, Rabbi Gruber braved a surprise Montana snowstorm to make our event h...
appen.
He is an extremely rare person who made both of our families happy, one Jewish, and one Christian. He crafted a ceremony exactly as we hoped, following our directions and adding his own personal wisdom and jokes to make the event personal and one everyone could enjoy.
Would absolutely recommend - fantastic communication, reasonably priced, and a very friendly, good man who will go the extra mile to make your wedding day a success.
On October 9, 2020 Rabbi Gruber co-officiated our daughters wedding with Father McGinn at Marigny Opera House in New Orleans, Louisiana.
I must tell you that I am the Jewish mother of the bride and truly did not know what to expect . You see, ...
I have never been to an interfaith wedding with a rabbi and priest co- officiating.
To our amazement this was the most beautiful ceremony we have ever been to. It was absolutely spectacular. Rabbi Gruber and Father McGinn worked together seamlessly.
Rabbi Gruber spoke the words of love,life,god and the importance to embrace the love Ashley and Doug have for one another.
Thank you Rabbi for getting to know Ashley and Doug and sharing their love story.
If there is a bride, groom or parent out there that is concerned and questions how this will work, you need not worry anymore, because you have found Rabbi Gruber.
Thank you rabbi for taking care of our little girl and blessing her and Doug on their special day.
You have blessed us greatly and will be forever grateful.

Rabbi David Gruber officiated the recent interfaith wedding of our son and daughter-in-law and far exceeded our expectations. Due to the pandemic, we had guests attending both in person, as well as via zoom. He made all feel welcome and inclusi...
ve and took the time to explain the various traditions with warmth and humor.
Rabbi David Gruber officiated our wedding one year ago this month and could not provide him a higher recommendation. We are an interfaith family and having a Rabbi officiate our wedding was very important to us. It was challenging to find a Ra...
bbi who would officiate an interfaith ceremony but after reviewing all the glowing reviews and after our first meeting with him we were confident we made the right decision.
He consistently made us feel comfortable and confident with the ceremony and the process providing us with all the resources and always making himself available. During the process he really got to know us personally and translated that into our ceremony with the perfect amount of humor and insights. We enjoyed our conversations we had with him and his hand written notes were very much appreciated. We will always treasure the memories and beautiful ceremony that was shared.
We are grateful to have met Rabbi Gruber and would recommend him to any couple who is looking!
Rabbi Gruber did an amazing job for our wedding and we were very lucky to find him. We struggled for months to find a Rabbi that was willing to participate in a ceremony at a Catholic Church, and Rabbi Gruber's only question before agreeing to...
participate was "do you love each other?" Immediately afterwards, he put in a great deal of effort getting to know us, understand why we were looking to get married and understand our connection to our respective faiths, in order to make the ceremony as personalized as possible. He performed beautifully at the ceremony and was also incredibly flexible and creative to help incorporate Jewish traditions into a Catholic service. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a rabbi.
Rabbi David understands the importance of living your life to the fullest even if it’s not how you planned. Through the restrictions placed due to Covid-19 and having to move the wedding up two hours just days before the wedding, due to the Dal...
las curfew, Rabbi David continued to stand by our side and support us during this most meaningful time in our lives. The memories we shared that day will forever be cherished and honored by Eric and I for the rest of our lives.
Rabbi David Gruber did an amazing job during our wedding! I am not Jewish, but my husband and his mother are and it was important to them to have a Jewish ceremony. I am so glad we found David because he made our ceremony really unique and sp...
ecial! He really takes the time to get to know you through meetings and e-mails (we were local so we got to meet with him in person several times before the big day). The ceremony incorporate a lot of personal items to my husband and I as well as the Jewish traditional elements that we wanted to incorporate. Everyone has told me since the wedding that the ceremony was one of their favorite parts of the wedding and that Rabbi Gruber was amazing.
Rabbi Gruber did the most amazing job for our Jewish-Catholic ceremony. We had almost given up the thought of having an interfaith ceremony in a church, but then we came across Rabbi Gruber. At the expense of exhausting the same amazing reviews...
he was countlessly received over his many years, we are so happy to confirm again what everyone else has said. He worked with us for over 10 months to create the perfect ceremony. The process involved a few video chats and an in-person meeting. We had a lot of fun getting to know him, and we learned a lot about ourselves along the way. He really listened to the type of ceremony we wanted to have and worked with us to create something that made everyone happy. There ceremony was beautiful in no small part to the level of detail, care, and concern that he added. Rabbi Gruber was charming and witty. I had so many guests from both faiths tell us how much they enjoyed the ceremony, and how they thought it was a good representation of each of our faiths. In a true testament to his work, many guests thought he was a lifelong friend and family Rabbi! I would recommend Rabbi Gruber to anyone looking for a Rabbi under any circumstance.
Rabbi Gruber worked with us for almost an entire year to make our wedding ceremony perfect. He did an awesome job of facilitating our inter-faith wedding and teaching us cultural differences by embracing those differences rather than overshadow...
ing them. His custom-made ceremony script incorporated our individual personalities, which we appreciated and all of our guests loved. Rabbi Gruber was extremely professional, well spoken, well versed in wedding and religious customs, and a pleasure to work with. It was a pleasure working with him!
Rabbi Gruber officiated our wedding in Mallorca and we absolutely loved our experience working with him! He is caring, easy to talk to, and made our wedding very personal for us. He took the time to learn about us individually and as a couple- ...
making our wedding ceremony extremely special and unique. Words cannot describe how grateful we feel to have had Rabbi Gruber officiate our wedding and guide us on our future as a couple. He is the Rabbi you want - trust me!
Rabbi Gruber officiated our wedding this past June. We were not having an interfaith wedding, but did still want a friend to co-officiate. Rabbi Gruber was so easy to work with and the ceremony was seamless. He made us feel so comfortable and o...
ur ceremony was definitely "us". He met with us several times as well as with our friend at the last meeting. He took so much time getting to know my my fiancee and I and we really appreciated that. Our ceremony was absolutely perfect, with just the perfect amount of humor, and there is not one thing I would have changed.
...Simply the best!!...what a beautiful, spiritual, warm and perfect mixed religious wedding..thanks to David Gruber for a ceremony (before, during and after!) that will be remembered always by our entire family!!
Thank you David!!
Rabbi Gruber was such a wonderful officiant! He made the ceremony so special and unique. We had both Jewish and Christian traditions at our ceremony and it was perfect! We would recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant!
Rabbi David officiated our wedding this past May in Oklahoma City. We weren't exactly sure what to expect in planning our ceremony, but David made the whole process easy and comfortable. He was always available to answer questions, and worked w...
ith us throughout to tailor our ceremony to our vision. David conducted an excellent ceremony, keeping things light and interesting. We received many compliments on the ceremony. We couldn't have asked for it to have gone any better! We would highly recommend David to anyone looking to have a meaningful and memorable wedding.
Honestly our ceremony would not have been the same without him. He did such a wonderful job, everyone asked me where I found such a great rabbi that made everyone not only laugh, but cry and was able to tie my Jewish religion to my fiancé's (n...
ow wife) Buddhist and Catholic background. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone.
Rabbi David Gruber is beyond fantastic! I knew I wanted a rabbi to marry myself and my non-Jewish (now) husband, but was nervous about finding one who would "get" us. Well, my mom must have some pretty fancy Jew-dar, because she found Rabbi Gru...
ber for us, and it was a match made in heaven!! I had recently returned from Israel with a new-found love of Judaism, and my husband was raised Episcopal, but is a staunch agnostic. When we first met with David, we knew he'd be right for us. He understood our sense of humor, went out of his way to meet with us despite the short amount of time we had, and built a gorgeous ceremony that was just for us! We had everyone come up to us after and tell us what a beautiful ceremony it was, and that it was one of the most beautiful they had ever been to. Even those who had never been to a Jewish service or ceremony understood everything and felt comfortable. To top it all off, he approached everything with a sense of humor and grace, and when at one point during the ceremony and unrelated group of people cheered loudly on the street, he took it in stride and made everyone laugh. It was truly the best wedding ceremony I could have asked for, with a truly amazing officiant!
Rabbi David was the BEST! We contacted him two years before our wedding, even before we picked out a date, because my Jewish husband was worried that we wouldn't ever find a rabbi who would marry us. (I'm non-Jewish) Over the two years we spoke...
several times, and Rabbi David listened intently to our wants and needs, our backgrounds, and created a ceremony that made nearly everyone at the wedding tear up. We couldn't be happier with our ceremony, it was such a beautiful day, and Rabbi David had a lot to do with that. Thank you Rabbi David!!
As an interfaith couple we really wanted everyone to feel included in our wedding. Rabbi David Gruber went over every detail. He reviewed with us every word and was completely open to our adjustments. My family (who are Catholic) loves the serv...
ice because of the differences, but also noticed a lot of similarities. It really could not have been better. Recommend highly!!
Working with Rabbi Gruber was a great experience! He really takes the time to get to know you and helps put together a ceremony that is personal and unique to what you are looking for. We told him we wanted the day to feel inclusive, and he rea...
lly did a great job of tailoring the ceremony so that everyone attending could follow along and understand what we were doing. He provided the perfect mix of humor and lightheartedness with seriousness and traditions that had our guests both laughing and reaching for their tissues. Never did we imagine that our Rabbi would be one of the most talked about parts of our wedding, but all our guests could not stop talking about what a great ceremony we had, and how spectacular our rabbi was. Thanks Rabbi Gruber for help making it such a special day! (P.S. – ask him for pictures of Sawyer, the interfaith Rabbit 😊)
Rabbi Gruber did an amazing job on our wedding. Everything was so beautiful and personalized to us. As a member of my family put it "he was great, he had everyone eating out of his hand and hanging onto his every word." Rabbi David Gruber made ...
the entire process so lovely, from our first meeting to the final ceremony. He wanted to make sure everything fit our vision and it did!
Rabbi Gruber is AMAZING! We wanted to have an interfaith Jewish/Catholic ceremony with a Cuban flair. In the months leading up to our wedding, he guided us through the process of creating a ceremony that truly captures what we wanted. He gave u...
s a lead on a priest he had co-officiated with in the past, and worked together with him to draft our ceremony. On our wedding day, he executed that ceremony perfectly and really stole the show with his beautiful remarks about us as a couple. All of our guests kept remarking afterwards how wonderfully our two traditions came together in the ceremony and how amazing our Rabbi was. He even whipped out some very impressive Spanish so my Cuban grandmother could follow along!
Rabbi David Gruber married my daughter Brittany and her husband Joe 1/5/19. His open and warm manner set the tone for a ceremony filled with love and joy. David took the time to know Brittany and Joe and was able to convey their personalities...
through his words. We were thrilled with the ceremony, and thoroughly enjoyed Rabbi David Gruber. His lovely wife Liat was a guest and brought her kind and cheerful personality to our evening.
Judy M.
Thank you Rabbi Gruber for such a touching ceremony that really spoke to who Katie and Austin are as individuals and as a couple. Thanks for making such an effort to get to know them virtually while they were stationed in South Korea. They both...
spoke so highly of you and we were all so excited to finally meet you in person. And most of all, thank you for your patience with the airlines and the weather. We appreciate your moving heaven and earth to ensure you were able to arrive on time in Columbia. So many others would have given up. An extra thank you to the Uber driver who brought you from Atlanta. All the stars were aligned this week.
I highly recommend Rabbi David Gruber for a full Jewish wedding or Interfaith wedding. I'm full Jewish and my now husband is half Jewish but neither of us are very religious. It was important to my parents that we have a rabbi officiate our wed...
ding and that we have a Jewish ceremony but we didn't want the ceremony to be too religious. Because of Rabbi Gruber, we had an absolutely perfect ceremony that was exactly what we wanted.
First of all, we don't live in Dallas anymore so we were concerned about making sure the Rabbi gets to really know us and have an understanding of who we are and what we believe in. David was so thorough throughout the entire process and was so easy to work with. We met him once in Dallas and had multiple FaceTime calls with him leading up to the wedding. He really guided us along the way, took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple, and worked with us to customize the ceremony of our dreams. We enjoyed talking to him so much that we often went over the scheduled time for our calls!
It was such a beautiful, meaningful, and personalized ceremony that not only we enjoyed, but our guests did as well. I actually get quite nervous in front of large groups (we had 150 people at the wedding) but during the ceremony, standing under the chuppah, I felt so comfortable, like it was just the Rabbi, me, and my husband. He was genuine, funny, and performed a heartfelt ceremony.
I highly recommend Rabbi David Gruber whether you're religious or not. He's so knowledgeable about so many religions, traditions, and cultures and that really helped make our ceremony very personal and met our wants and needs in a ceremony.
Rabbi David Gruber was amazing, we highly recommend him. He was patient with us throughout the entire process as we figured out what we wanted (we didn't really know) and he officiated a beautiful, unique ceremony. Both our families could not s...
top talking about it and they keep complimenting the unforgettable ceremony. THANK YOU!!
Rabbi David Gruber was fantastic to work with. He made the entire process much easier and wrote a beautiful ceremony for my wife and I.
Rabbi Gruber did a wonderful job of officiating my son's wedding. He was very accommodating and inclusive, and was such a warm, friendly and engaging man. He immediately made everyone feel so welcome and comfortable, which is exactly what was...
wanted and needed for an interfaith wedding. Thank you, Rabbi Gruber!
My husband and I had very specific concerns and requests in regards to a ring ceremony that was going to take place in Texas. We wanted to incorporate Jewish wedding traditions and Rabbi Gruber was so helpful and wonderful during the whole pro...
cess. He took the time to get to know us and made sure that everything was exactly what we wanted. He was very kind and interested in our lives. He made the ceremony interesting and entertaining for everyone. After the ceremony we had several people come to us and say how much they enjoyed what he prepared and how great he was!
We highly recommend him to anyone searching for a Rabbi. We feel very lucky that he was able to be apart of our wedding celebrations.
My son and I were born Jewish and converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) within the last 6 years. He married his beautiful wife in the LDS Temple in Fresno, Califonria on July 27th and we had a ring ceremony here...
in Texas yesterday. We were somewhat nervous that the ring ceremony would be enjoyable for the Jewish, Mormon, and other Christian relatives and friends in attendance. To say that Rabbi Gruber did a phenomenal job is an understatement. He personalized it by getting to know McKenna and Michael in advance, getting to know what they are all about and what they value. He prepared a script for the ceremony so that everything would go according to plan. He was the perfect combination of reverence and humor. Ultimately, his diligent preparation and dynamic officiating helped break down barriers between the faith groups, leaving everyone honored, respected, and more educated. He was also very flexible in the ceremony. For example, we asked if he would bless challah bread afterwards - which is not traditional at a Jewish ceremony - and he was more than willing to do it. Everyone in attendance shared their appreciation of Rabbi Gruber and his efforts to bridge the gap between two faiths. It was truly a unifying celebration.
We highly recommend Rabbi David Gruber. He was extremely professional and well organized as well a prince and a gentleman at our wedding. He spent hours with on FaceTime in order to personalize our vows. He was amazing at the ceremony and made ...
it so everyone who was not Jewish could comprehend what was going on. Thank you so much for officiating our wedding Rabbi Gruber!
Rabbi David Gruber was wonderful. Our son and his wife thoroughly enjoyed the pre-wedding sessions they had with the rabbi and everyone at the ceremony (i.e., more than 350 guests) thought the rabbi and the Episcopalian minister did a masterfu...
l job melding the two traditions.
I wanted a Rabbi to marry us but my husband wasn't so sure as he is Catholic. We were going to interview a few people, but after our initial call with Gruber, both he and I were sold. Rabbi Gruber was able to explain all parts of the wedding an...
d traditions of both religions, let us pick which ones we want to use, and created a ceremony that was personal for us, but where others felt involved. We did't want it to be just about us but for people joining us to know they were a part of us, and he did exactly that by grasping our personalities, tying in some humor, and creating a warm and beautiful ceremony.
Rabbi Gruber was very patient with us as we dragged our feet in getting things back to him, and even came to our house instead of meeting out, to accommodate our baby's nap schedule. He was very easy to work with and we had a lot of compliments about how nice his ceremony was, after the fact. We are so glad he was able to officiate our special day.
We could not be happier that Rabbi David was able to officiate our wedding. Being that I am Jewish and my husband is Catholic, it was important that we were both represented. We loved being able to choose what spoke to us and truly enjoyed the ...
process. He spent so much time with us to craft the perfect ceremony. Our guests could not stop talking about how much they enjoyed it. We will forever cherish our wedding ceremony and day because of him! Cannot thank him enough
David was a wonderful officiant for our wedding. He is professional yet warm and very personable. He officiated our wedding between myself, a Jew, and my husband, who is Muslim. David researched different traditions and ceremonies from each fai...
th and presented them to us so that we could pick the traditions we liked the best and make a ceremony that truly reflected us and our relationship. He worked with us to make sure we were both happy with every detail and doesn't just have a "one size fits all" ceremony. Everyone who witnessed our ceremony were so impressed with how it reflected my husband and my relationship and personalities. I highly recommend David as an officiant; he will make your ideal ceremony one to remember!
Rabbi Gruber was amazing to say the least. He was so easy to work with and quite brilliant. Planning a wedding is overwhelming but he brought calmness and sound advice to the whole process. He not only guided us the entire way but also took our...
words and crafted the most beautiful ceremony from it. I think every single guest came up to me afterwards to tell me how beautiful the ceremony was and how impactful Rabbi Gruber was. I HIGHLY recommend Rabbi Gruber. He was a highlight of my wedding.
Rabbi Gruber officiated my husbanf Daniel and I's wedding in July, 2017. We had an interfaith wedding and Mr. Gruber couldn't have been anymore understanding and helpful. I had so many questions, and he went out of his way (All the way to Color...
ado!!) to help make our special day something that was worthy of each memory! He was kind, intelligent, and very professional. Cool under pressure and handled all of my questions. We loved having him write our ceremony and would recommend him to anyone looking for an interfaith Rabbi. He nailed us in the short time we worked with him. It was truly a blessing ♡
My husband and I had a great time working with Rabbi Gruber! I am Jewish and my husband is Methodist, so we had both a minister and Rabbi Gruber co-officiate our wedding, and we loved how it turned out. Rabbi Gruber really got to know us and pe...
rsonalized our ceremony as if we had known him for years. Having an interfaith wedding was very important to us, and it could not have gone better. He will always be a very special part of our lives and we look forward to keeping in touch with him.
Rabbi Gruber was absolutely amazing! The ceremony was beautiful! He was able to incorporate some Spanish for my family and ultimately he made it fun for everyone! He kept our friends and family engaged which was quite lovely. Everyone had wonde...
rful things about Rabbi Gruber. What I liked most about Rabbi Gruber was his process. Being that we live in New York, he was able to accommodate us via FaceTime and he was always available to walk us through the whole process. His attention to detail was remarkable! After each meeting he would send us a hand written thank you card. He was an absolute professional! I would recommend to anyone that is looking for interfaith Rabbi. He is the best!
We are so grateful to Rabbi Gruber!!! The compliments regarding the service have been endless. No surprise to us at all. We knew it'd be perfect, and it was. Thank you so much David Gruber...you made our ceremony everything we could've dreamed ...

Gruber met/Skyped with us at least 4 times throughout our yearlong planning process. This allowed him to get to know us as a couple and deliver truly personal remarks at our ceremony.

Not only the ceremony was great, but Rabbi Gruber was always prompt, easy to reach, and friendly.

You made a Jewish mother very happy!

The day of the wedding could not have turned out any more perfect. The ceremony was light, funny and very educational for those that were not Jewish. They had even told us later how much they enjoyed the Rabbi and what a great ceremony it was. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you David!!

r through a google search for interfaith Rabbis. From the first conversation we had with him, he made myself and my wife feel extremely comfortable. He got to know us and listened to our vision of what we wanted for our ceremony. Rabbi Grubber took the time to get to know my wife and I so he could personalize the ceremony. He worked with us and the priest to create a beautiful ceremony.
The ceremony was amazing! It was a perfect blend of Jewish and Catholic traditions. We had guests come up to us all night saying how beautiful the ceremony turned out. Not only the ceremony, but how great the Rabbi was. He showed he can be traditional yet still have a great sense of humor to create an unforgettable ceremony. If you would like an interfaith rabbi to officiate our co-officiate your wedding, Rabbi Gruber is absolutely the perfect choice.

peaking to him and throughout the entire process of planning, David was patient, understanding, calm, thoughtful, intelligent, and incredibly laid back. He has an innate ability to 'go with the flow' and 'wing it' if necessary, along with a great sense of humor. He is empathetic and considerate of other cultures and religions, which helped to make the ceremony beautiful and seemingly effortless. We feel blessed and fortuneate to be able to have found him, and that he was available. Aside from making sure the ceremony was exactly what Veronica and Jeff wanted, he also made sure that he and his co-officiate, Padre` Landeros, were on the same page and coordinated. As a side note, throughout the festivities of the weekend, Rabbi Gruber was personable, enlightening, and a charming guest! We all appreciated his presence, and I would highly recommend him. As a personal note, "Thank you so much for a truly beautiful ceremony, Rabbi! It was a pleasure getting to know you." Fonda Lewis, 'Mother of the Groom'
Rabbi Gruber was amazing. From our first meeting he seemed genuinely interested in getting to know myself and my fiancé. We both really liked how he took the time to get to know us individually and learn more about what made our relationship ...

This attention to detail really showed at our wedding as his speech was unique to myself and Marc.
Rabbi Gruber was so good at explaining the Jewish traditions we used and making everyone feel comfortable. It was great he was able to incorporate the similarities between Jewish and Catholic traditions at our wedding.
Marc and I highly recommend Rabbi Gruber for an interfaith wedding. He is simply the best!
Rabbi Gruber performed an awesome wedding ceremony for our daughter and fiancé on November 14, 2015 in San Antonio, Texas. A very touching interfaith ceremony, which incorporated both religions and both clergy. We received many compliments from...

No matter your religion or what your belief system is, he sincerely wants to accommodate you to make sure that your day is exactly what you need and is set up so that it means the most to you as a couple. We met with him a few times to discuss what was important to us for the big day and spoke about our histories and spiritual journeys. He was extremely flexible with dates and times, which we really appreciated. In the end, Rabbi Gruber crafted a ceremony that we will never forget and that our guests can't stop talking about! During the ceremony, he was professional, kind hearted, and funny at times when it was needed. He also added personal touches in the ceremony that meant so much to us. I would highly recommend Rabbi Gruber to any couple searching for that special person to join them in marriage!
Rabbi Gruber officiated my daughters wedding September 6, 2015 . He was amazing and thoughtful. So caring and made the wedding extremely relaxed and intimate. A true gem.
Rabbi Gruber, officiated our wedding ceremony yesterday at my parents cottage in Upstate NY. It was the perfect ceremony. He was calm, relaxed and made us feel the same way. It was the perfect balance of religious and meaningful, while at the s...
ame time funny. Everyone at our reception raved about how awesome he was, and we wouldn't agree more. Everyone felt included and it was very heart felt. We are so happy we found David. The whole process from our first conversation through yesterday could not have been easier with David, from emails to phone calls and Skype meetings. He is an awesome person and an even better Rabbi. Thank you David! :)
This Rabbi is the one! He married my husband Tim and I in Cancun, Mexico at the Hard Rock. The wedding was beautiful, but Rabbi Gruber made it truly special. He made everthing truly specialy. Our wedding leaned more Jewish traditionally because...
that is what my husband and I preferred. However, my husband is Catholic and so is his family. Rabbi made sure everything was inclusive, inviting and easy to understand so that people felt like they understood everything even if they were not Jewish. He is a kind and understanding officiant who will make your wedding custom to your needs and desires. Furthermore, he was a pleasure to have as our guest at the wedding. Rabbi also has a great singing voice, which adds another beautiful touch to the ceremony. We are only 5 days into our marriage but we loved our ceremony because of this rabbi!
It was a pleasure having Rabbi David Gruber perform our interfaith (Jewish / Southern Baptist) wedding ceremony! David made Heather and I very comfortable throughout the process of formulating our ceremony. His priority was to ensure that we ...
were able to create our own unique ceremony that met what we were ideally looking for in an interfaith wedding.
We received a number of compliments on how well David executed the ceremony from our guests. We received very positive feedback on the content of his remarks that were personalized to Heather and I. He has a good sense of humor that he exhibited throughout the ceremony and this helped keep the ceremony fun and light.
Overall David did a great job from start to finish and we would recommend him to any couple that is looking for a Rabbi to perform an interfaith wedding.
Rabbi Gruber was very easy to work with. He did a wonderful job of incorporating all the elements that were important to us - family, honoring our late grandparents & incorporating my children & my bride's stepchildren. He made the process mean...
ingful & efficient so you that there was a connection to him by wedding day. I would highly recommend him.
Rabbi Gruber is a really great person. He took his time getting to know us as individuals and what brought us together as a couple. His genuine interest made our personalities shine through during the ceremony. He incorporated humor at the righ...
t moments. His light "homework" we were assigned brought my husband and I closer together after reading each others essays. The book that was assigned walked us through Jewish wedding ceremonies and I learned a lot about these customs. It was wonderful and everyone gave compliments about how great he was! I would recommend him to anyone Jewish or not!
My husband is Jewish, so when we got married a few years ago, it was important to him to find a rabbi to perform the ceremony. However, I'm Christian, and we knew now rabbi that would perform an interfaith wedding. After some search, we found ...
Rabbi Gruber and it was so worth it! He was very helpful and knowledgeable, and with his help, we were able to create a ceremony that was perfect for us. Removed a huge worry for the wedding day, and we greatly appreciate everything he did. Would totally recommend!
Rabbi Gruber was AMAZING! We, both, can't say enough good things. I found Rabbi Gruber through the internet as we were looking for a Rabbi that would marry us on a Friday evening in New Orleans. My [now] husband is Jewish and I am not. The chal...
lenge in finding a Rabbi was not that I am not Jewish, but that we were having the wedding on a Friday evening [during Sabbath]. My husband loved Rabbi Gruber from the first time he spoke with him on the phone. Rabbi Gruber was very meticulous and detailed in scheduling Skype meetings and going over every detail of the ceremony. By the time we met Rabbi Gruber in-person in New Orleans we felt we already knew him. We already liked him prior to the ceremony, but Rabbi Gruber blew us and all of our family and friends away during the ceremony. No one is perfect, but he was as close to perfect as you can get! He sang BEAUTIFULLY and incorporated both of our religions (Judaism, Catholicism) in the most perfect and beautiful way. He even learned a little of my grandmothers language and said a prayer in her language. As "icing on the cake", he threw in humor during the ceremony at the best times. He made our special day exceptional. I'm not a "religious" person, nor am I normally emotional; but the way he designed and lead the ceremony made me a cry-baby [in a good way]. haha! I was moved to tears of happiness during so many moments and a big part of that was due to Rabbi Gruber making our ceremony so magical.
Rabbi Gruber was great! We received many, many comments from people at our ceremony about how great it was, and how inclusive he made everyone feel. Our virtual 'meetings' leading up to the event allowed him to craft a ceremony that felt uniq...
uely personal. It also allowed us plenty of time and opportunities to create, edit, and adjust the ceremony to reflect our preferences. Rabbi Gruber is extremely flexible, laid back, and easy to work with, which made this process almost effortless on our part. Thanks again for a wonderful ceremony!
My husband and I were super pleased to have worked with Rabbi Gruber for our wedding. Initially, we were anxious about how an interfaith ceremony would work and how to blend our traditions together, but Rabbi Gruber assured us there was no righ...
t or wrong way to go about it. He took meticulous notes during our meetings and made sure to answer all of our questions. The interfaith marriage book he recommended was extremely helpful in learning about our different religious backgrounds and creating a ceremony that was symbolic for both families. We never felt judged and we appreciated how open he was to our ideas. I had many people compliment me about what a great job Rabbi Gruber did and that the ceremony was easy to follow and understand. Rabbi Gruber was always quick to respond to email and very reliable. We highly recommend him! Thanks Rabbi for making our wedding day so wonderful!
We found David completely randomly and we are happy we did. We aren't that religious (especially me), so we wanted to focus the mood of our ceremony about us - Not religion. David was incredibly assertive about us chatting beforehand so we al...
l got to know each other and he took diligent notes, which he then incorporated into the ceremony, so that we feel both heard and represented. And on top of all this, David happens to be a wonderful human being. No matter what type of ceremony you want, David can not only perform it, but do so in a way that you feel great about. We highly recommend him.
We had a wonderful experience working with Rabbi Gruber. Being an interfaith couple we wanted a ceremony that was representative of both of our religious and cultural backgrounds as well as the life we'd be starting together. From the beginnin...
g, he was focused on making our ceremony about us and just what we envisioned it to be.
We had a general idea of what we wanted, but we couldn't have arrived at the final product without Rabbi Gruber's guidance and shared experiences. We met 3 or 4 times (over skype) in the months leading up to our wedding and ultimately we scripted a ceremony that was modern, light hearted, and personalized.
Almost a year later, we still get comments about how much our guests enjoyed our ceremony and specifically Rabbi Gruber.
We would recommend Rabbi Gruber to any couple-Jewish, interfaith, non denominational, same sex, etc.

“That might possibly have been the most beautiful, loving and most wonderful ceremony I have ever witnessed. Loved it so much; it was so special” said one of my dearest friends. This reflects exactly how my husband and I felt.
But the cerem...
ony was only part of the process of commitment for the bride and groom.
Though their roots are from different faiths, Rabbi David Gruber—through his Skype study sessions— encouraged our son and his prospective bride to stretch their minds to their farthest reaches to identify what their shared values were in order to form a strong foundation for a future together. He sought to understand who they were and how they felt so he could perform a unique and very joyous ceremony that would be sensitive to and celebrate their different faith traditions. He succeeded magnificently!
Rabbi Gruber is tender, engaging, witty, and erudite. I honor and affirm the path he has chosen to “deeply believe in helping every couple make the most out of the most wonderful day of their lives.”
Rabbi David Gruber made our wedding special. We met/spoke with him a few times before the wedding and he got to know us first in order to make our ceremony feel personalized. We had so many compliments on our ceremony. Some of our guests descri...
bed it as "magical" and "the best ceremony they'd ever witnessed".
He customized it so that part of it the ceremony was in Spanish so that our Spanish speaking guests would feel included. He's funny, tells wonderful stories and he has a beautiful singing voice in which he sung prayers. Our ceremony was in English/Spanish/Hebrew and just thinking about it again gives me goose bumps.
Whether you're having a jewish, interfaith or any other kind of ceremony, we can't recommend him enough!

Rabbi Gruber co-officiated our wedding with a Priest in a Catholic church, and the ceremony could not have been more perfect. Not only was it a beautiful and seamless combination of traditions from both the Jewish and Catholic faiths, but Rabb...

Rabbi David Gruber had worked with us for about 8 months prior to our wedding and every step of the way he had prepared and enlightened us for our day. He was courteous, outgoing, professional, and most of all a very nice person to get along wi...
