Rabbi Daniel Betzel

and I was lucky to be able to break contract and get my money back. But then all the stress hit, worrying about what to do for an officiant barely 3 months away from my wedding! My photographer recommended Rabbi Dan, and it's easy to see why. Dan Betzel is very professional, while still being very personable. Communication was very clear, prompt, and productive. In two weeks, we had the whole ceremony template DONE, aside from our vows. Working with him was a breath of fresh air. My (now) husband and I aren't Jewish at all, but he was perfectly okay with doing a secular ceremony. Everything went off without a hitch, and all our friends and family thought it was about the most beautiful ceremony they had ever seen. Rabbi Dan was supportive throughout the process and very considerate, asking questions along the way for the tone we wanted for our big day, and he did the absolute best we could have hoped for. I never would have picked a rabbi initially since I'm not religious, but I recommend him to any couple out there that needs an officiant. If he's available, book him! After the nightmare the previous officiant had given me, the rabbi made us feel almost like none of that had ever happened.

am Jewish, he is Christian). Since the majority of our guests were not Jewish, it was great that Rabbi Dan explained all of the Jewish traditions that were a part of our wedding so that everyone understood what was happening. Many of our guests commented on how beautiful our ceremony was, and how much they enjoyed the incorporation of both our religions in the ceremony. Rabbi Dan was also great about giving us advice about ketubahs and submitting our marriage license paperwork very quickly. If you are looking to have a Jewish or interfaith wedding, we highly recommend Rabbi Dan!

special. I would highly recommend him to others looking for Jewish or interfaith ceremonies!

about what was going on. He was fantastic! He worked with my husband's Minister seamlessly. He was beyond helpful in determining what parts would be good to include, what needed to be included and what could be omitted. He was so kind and friendly, everyone kept complimenting us on our ceremony and how fantastic it was and that is in no way because of what we did and all because of what Rabbi Dan and the Minister did together. It was perfect and I couldn't have imagined it going any better than it did. I would use Rabbi Dan for any big "Jewish" events. He was the best!!

as if we had known each other for years. Within a day after the meeting, he scripted a beautiful ceremony that was organically created. Rabbi Dan is particularly skilled at teaching the Jewish tradition to those at our ceremony who were never exposed to Judaism. Consequently, the ceremony proved to be an educational experience for all. Thanks, Rabbi Dan, for making our day a special one.

ecided that we want him to officiate ours as well. He's been very easy to work with and also threw in a lot of ideas on how to tailor our inter-cultural wedding to accommodate our beliefs into the ceremony. He met with us prior to the wedding and spent time to actually get to know us better and understand what we want. He conducted the entire ceremony beautifully and talked about us like he's always known us. He felt like a family member. I highly recommend him!!!

ful and perfect ceremony. We really believe Rabbi Dan was "meant to be" our Rabbi. If there was a way to give him more thank 5 stars I would!!!!
