About this vendor

Unique, personalized and memorable ceremonies

We work with couples, either in person or virtually online, to create a unique experience on their journey to their wedding day. Meeting with them enables us to establish an understanding of where the couple is in their life together and to give spiritual guidance as they transition into their next level of couplehood. Together we create the wedding ceremony, designing it so that it's fashioned in such a way that it communicates to others who these two people really are.

We had an incredible experience with Rabbi Anna. We had a reformed Jewish wedding ceremony. She lead such a beautiful ceremony and she is also one of the kindest people. She really cared about us and got to know us very well. We had many meetings with her and by the time we got married we really knew each other well and felt so comfortable with her. She listened and understood our expectations, and went above and beyond. We loved working with Rabbi Anna and are excited to keep in touch with her in the future. All of our guests loved our ceremony and thought Rabbi Anna was fantastic. She is very spiritual, and we loved that aspect about her. You won't be disappointed, she is honest, reliable, kind, and caring. Thank you thank you thank you x10000 for being there for us, Rabbi Anna! We love you!

We had an amazing experience with Rabbi Anna! We are an interfaith/multicultural couple, and Rabbi Anna did a wonderful job working with us to ensure that our ceremony represented our relationship and who we are. She shared with us examples of ceremonies she had performed for other couples of various backgrounds and helped us decide which language\elements to include in ours. We also really appreciated her taking the time in the months before our wedding to give us pre-marital counseling; it was great to take the time out of planning the wedding to focus on what comes after. On the wedding day, Rabbi Anna couldn't have been more wonderful! She arrived on time (our wedding was a couple hours drive for her) and was such a reassuring and joyful presence. She officiated our ceremony perfectly (despite all the wind blowing everyone's hair and papers around) and afterwards she even helped button my wife's bustle after we signed our marriage license! We also loved being able to celebrate with her at our cocktail hour and reception so she could get to know our parents, grandparents, family, and friends on a more personal level. Even though all our meetings before our wedding day were over Zoom, she felt like a close family friend! Thank you so much, Rabbi Anna, for blessing us with this wonderful memory!!

Our July 2021 wedding would not have been the same without Rabbi Anna! She brought such positive, infectious energy to the whole event. She officiated both our ketubah signing and interfaith ceremony and made every guest feel very comfortable. Our videographer actually used her speech in our wedding teaser it was so perfect! She was a warm and gracious presence and we highly recommend her services!

Any questions?

We had such a great experience with Rabbi Anna. She is so warm and passionate. Rabbi Anna officiated our interfaith/multicultural ceremony and we were so comfortable with her from the start. Through the counseling/meetings and planning through COVID, Rabbi Anna was so flexible. She made our ceremony personal, energetic, and inviting. Thank you, Rabbi Anna Sugarman!

Regardless of your denomination, you cannot go wrong having Rabbi Anna's energy as part of your ceremony. From our first Skype meeting with her, it was clear she was the right Rabbi for us. She is instantly relatable, reassuring, and understanding. She helped us to layout our ceremony, recommended a book, and helped us review refine the cermeony and even gave feedback on our hand-written vows. Though my wife and I already shared an affinity for Rabbi Anna - meeting her in person was actually better. Her magnanimous nature and beaming warmth, along with her tact for special occasions, was even more impression. She continually had a smile and allowed for the day to unfold as naturally as could be. It was a magical day which we reflect on often and cannot thank Rabbi Anna enough for the role she played in it. P.S. Rabbi Anna - so sorry for the delayed review!

I had a truly amazing ceremony because of Rabbi Anna's officiating. Planning a wedding remotely is already such a challenge, but she made planning our ceremony as easy as possible through a series of video calls. I tailored the ceremony exactly how I wanted without fear of judgment. On the wedding day when I was pure nerves, she was a warm and calming presence, and I knew that the ceremony was under control. Plus she has a beautiful singing voice! Rabbi Anna was amazing, I would highly recommend her for anyone seeking a Jewish or interfaith officiant!

From the moment we first spoke with Rabbi Anna Sugarman, we knew she was the perfect person to marry us. Rabbi Anna has an energy to her that conveys warmth, happiness, and love. We live over 3 hours from where we got married so we facetimed with Rabbi Anna a few times before our wedding and each call was filled with laughter and felt so natural. Our ceremony was the most beautiful ceremony I have ever witnessed. It was filled with so much emotion, tradition, laughter, and love...there was not a dry eye in the house. Everyone that witnessed our marriage commented on how amazing Rabbi Anna is and said it was the most beautiful ceremony they had ever been a part of. We are so happy we chose Rabbi Anna and she will forever be part of our lives.

We had an interfaith wedding and without Rabbi Anna we would have been lost! We met with her several times and she even suggested a book for us to read to help with the task at hand! We received so many compliments on the ceremony from our guests and they were blown away on how beautiful and sentimental the ceremony was! Thank you for everything Anna!
