Rabbi Marsha Jane

Rabbi Marsha was instrumental in making our wedding ceremony truly unforgettable. Throughout the six months leading up to our big day, she invested time in getting to know us, allowing her to infuse our ceremony with personal touches that resonated deeply. Despite the presence of 300 guests, Rabbi Marsha managed to create an intimate atmosphere, weaving in anecdotes and stories that reflected our journey as a couple. Her ability to balance tradition with a modern flare made the ceremony feel authentic and heartfelt. We're incredibly grateful for Rabbi Marsha's guidance and warmth, which made our wedding day all the more special and meaningful.

Rabbi Marsha was amazing for our wedding on 2/24/24! For months leading up to our big day, Rabbi Marsha scheduled weekly calls in order to perfect our ceremony & cater it to our specific needs/wants. She was organized, detailed, and great with logistics. On the day of our wedding, Rabbi Marsha arrived early, was prepared, and ran our ceremony smoothly. Our guests are still commenting about how funny and real our ceremony was, and how it truly depicted our relationship. Overall highly recommend hiring Rabbi Marsha!

Rabbi Marsha gave us her all in delivering a ceremony that honored both of our jewish and catholic faiths. She was committed to putting together a ceremony that made both of our families happy and helped us to incorporate symbolism from each side to have a truly personal ceremony. She made sure we had all our things in order including or ketubeh and license.

From start to finish rabbi Marsha was phenomenal. She took so much time to get to know me and us as a couple. The ceremony was so personal. She took so much time to speak to us repeatedly that I feel like we got to know each other. Also when I had a health issue, not only was she so accommodating to a date change, but helped me accept that it was the best decision. She made my children an integral part of the ceremony and gave us an incredible experience.

Rabbi Marsha was amazing! From our monthly meetings, all the way to the wedding day she knew exactly what needed to be done. Our ceremony was beautiful and Rabbi Marsha included so many funny and personal anecdotes that our family and friends loved. Would highly recommend Rabbi Marsha for your wedding!

While I have no doubt Rabbi Marsha is usually outstanding, she didn't perform at our wedding. In the week leading up to the big day she was on vacation and voiced to me that she forgot to bring her notes. This was evident when everything we discussed in our final meeting was not executed the day of. I explained the ceremony set up and discussed the flow of the ceremony; after walking down the aisle, she said to me "who knew it would be set up like this." The sequence wasn't as we discussed leaving my husband and I feeling (& looking) very confused. Additionally, we discussed an English only ceremony and day of half of it was in Hebrew. We sent over our pre-ceremony questions thinking she was going to use our answers to make cohesive comments about us a couple. We were surprised when she began reading our answers word for word - had we known this was the plan we definitely would have written our answers differently, prioritizing the overall flow. In our conversations leading up to the wedding, we found ourselves constantly having to defend our choices - who would walk down the aisle, who would stand where. I wish Rabbi Marsha could have been more open, understanding and willing to help us execute our vision.

I'm Latino, I was born and raised Catholic, but I married a Jew, and for us, it was very important that our wedding is under Judaism. My husband and I looked for various options, but when we spoke to Rabbi Marsha for the first time, we felt she was The one indicated. It was not just a transaction, it was true dedication to our needs, and it was very respectful of my lack of knowledge of the traditions, and it explained to me step by step with great affection. I can tell you that the day of my marriage was the best day of my entire life and the ceremony made me feel like I was in a fairy tale where we were two princes sealing our love. Rabbi Marsha, there are no words to thank you for your wonderful service and the respect and inclusion of a same-sex couple. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. Rabbi Marsha

Rabbi Marsha Jane gave the most personal and beautiful service, it was truly memorable for my husband and I, who are inter-faith, but wanted a Jewish wedding ceremony. She was organized and kind and made planning the ceremony very easy leading up to the wedding with multiple convenient check ins and reminders. The ketubah ceremony was also special for us and our family who participated. We received multiple compliments from guests during the reception and after our wedding about how spectacular she was. We highly recommend Rabbi Marsha Jane!!

Rabbi Marsha Jane was absolutely the best officiant we could have asked for! She had meetings with us all the way up to our special day and made sure everything was set and planned how we wanted it. She is timely and so personable. Many guests came up to us after the ceremony and raved about how personable she was and how funny she was! She really brought out the best in us and made our guests laugh and smile. We could not recommend her enough.

Rabbi Marsha planned and delivered a wedding ceremony that far out did all our dreams. It was beautiful, sentimental, and truly perfect. From start to finish of working together, she made us feel supported and cared for on a personal level that we would have never expected. We are going to cherish all that she did for us forever. We are an inter-faith couple (Jewish & Catholic) however we wanted to have a Jewish wedding. Rabbi Marsha was so respectful throughout every phone call and she explained every part of the ceremony as it was happening so that all of our guests felt included. We have had numerous non-Jewish guests tell us that they want to have Jewish ceremony now because of how personal, romantic, spiritual, humanistic and meaningful Rabbi Marsha made our ceremony. We really feel like she captured our personalities and our love. Additionally, she honored our loved ones who are no longer with us, and gave a shoutout to family who couldn’t travel to be at our wedding but were watching via live stream. It meant so much to us and our families to have those moments incorporated in. Additionally, the Ketubah signing ceremony was special and personal for our loved ones who shared it with us. She exhibited warmth with every phone call and finally meeting her in person was even lovelier. We are so incredibly grateful and could not recommend her enough!

Rabbi Marsha made our ceremony so beautiful and special. She really took the time to connect with us prior and made the ceremony exactly what we wanted. She was so helpful in sending us reminders ahead of the wedding, such as ordering out Ketubah and applying for our marriage license, that made the day seamless. I highly recommend working with her!

Absolutely no regrets using Rabbi Marsha to officiate our wedding! She was very easy to work with and allowed us to incorporate or not incorporate any traditions. She asked specifics to tailor our ceremony to exactly what we wanted. There were no surprises with what we were getting. By using questionnaires and frequent phone calls (close to the wedding day), she was able to really personalize our ceremony. It was awesome because it was like we got to write our own vows and hear them without saying them! Rabbi Marsha also is very knowledgeable on obtaining your marriage license and very responsive to answering any questions regarding the process. I can’t recommend her enough!

I cannot recommend Rabbi Marsha enough. Due to Covid, we didn't get to meet with her much, but she somehow turned our few phone calls and emails into a truly moving ceremony. She struck the perfect chord for my now-wife and I and truly captured who we are as people. It was a genuinely beautiful service that people couldn't stop talking about all night long.

Rabbi Marsha Jane made our ceremony so unbelievably personal and special. She was informative throughout the entire process and gave us all the options to make the ceremony just right for us. We also did a ketubah before the ceremony and her words were so beautiful during this. Everyone was raving about how special our ceremony was and we cant get over it either.

Rabbi Marsha Jane made the ceremony everything we wanted it to be. She made sure to add special touches to the ceremony that would make our guests know more about our relationship. All of our guests were pleased with the ceremony and couldn't stop raving about Rabbi Marsha Jane. We would highly recommend her to our friends for their weddings in the future. One of the best vendors we found to help make our day exceptional! Plus she was able to work with our changes due to the pandemic!!! We are so grateful for the ceremony she officiated for us!

From the minute we first spoke to Rabbi Marsha we knew she was the perfect fit. she is warm, inviting, responsive and someone you feel like you've known forever. in the months leading up to the wedding, she was always available to answer any questions we had. in addition to that, our plans changed quite a few times with covid. each time, she was happy to accommodate our requests. we are an interfaith couple and she took the time to have a separate meeting with our families to ensure everyone was comfortable with the service and knew exactly what was going on. I was truly looking for someone that took the time to get to know us individually and as a couple, and rabbi marsha was exactly that person. when it came to wedding day, the service was absolutely beautiful and incredibly personal. 2 weeks later, we are still hearing great feedback from friends and family about how great the service was. We cannot thank her enough! can't wait for our next life event that needs a rabbi -- we absolutely will be calling her for any and everything!

Rabbi Marsha Jane is by far one of the best person I've ever had the pleasure to work with! Our ceremony was so beautiful and had so much meaning thanks to her. She took the time to get to know me and husband and listen to our stories. She offered such a wonderful ceremony that we still hear about from our friends and family! It was a smooth experience from the day we reached out to her. At the ceremony it felt as if one of our closest friends were speaking. Rabbi Marsha Jane is absolutely wonderful. Words can't express how amazing she is and how unique and special she made our ceremony. Thank you for everything, Rabbi Marsha Jane!

A beautiful day thanks to Rabbi Marsha! My husband is jewish and I'm not really attached to a religion so when my husband said he wanted a rabbi to marry us, I wanted to make sure I found one who was open minded and for me, having a female was important! Rabbi Marsha gave us such a beautiful ceremony! She did a great job of explaining all of the little traditions like the kiddush cup and the 7 circles, so my non-jewish family knew what was going on, and was very open minded about any changes we wanted to make to the typical jewish ceremony! She didn't put a huge emphasis on God, like we asked, but everything included was so meaningful.. about love, family, spirituality.. All of my catholic family loved our ceremony and were complimenting it all night! Rabbi Marsha herself is an absolute pleasure to work with.. she kept in touch throughout our planning process, even as we switched locations 4 times due to covid, and always brought positivity and humor into our calls which we really needed!! I couldn't have imagined our day without her!

Simply put, Rabbi Marsha was an absolute dream to work with. From the moment we first spoke on the phone, she instilled confidence that we could have the ceremony we always hoped for. With our wedding plans changing last minute due to COVID, we were in need of an experienced interfaith rabbi to co-officiate with a Catholic deacon, who happened to be father of bride, all for a socially-distant ceremony, quite literally in a cornfield in Maryland - it was a tall order to say the least! Rabbi Marsha absolutely delivered in every possible way. She performed a personalized, beautifully integrated ceremony between the two faiths that we will never forget. Both families absolutely loved her. Her upbeat and positive energy ameliorated any worries we had in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and she was always responsive with communication. You should book Rabbi Marsha with complete confidence and excitement in how memorable your ceremony will be with her present. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Rabbi Marsha was amazing! She hosted a beautiful ceremony that our friends and family are still raving about! We laughed, we cried - it was perfect. We live in France, but wanted to get married at home in the States and Rabbi Marsha never made us feel like we were too far away. She was there with us from afar through the entire process keeping us calm, excited and organized. We are so thankful she officiated our wedding and we look forward to future family events with Rabbi Marsha as our rabbi. We highly recommend!

Words cannot truly express how fabulous our September 14th, 2019 wedding ceremony was due in large part to Rabbi Marsha Kleinman. From the moment, my husband and I met her we knew she was our officiant. She incorporated my Judaism and my husband’s Portuguese heritage throughout the entire ceremony. She made my husband feel included and to me that was paramount. Rabbi Marsha Kleinman builds each ceremony around the couple and truly wants to get to know you. From the beginning of the ceremony to the end every aspect brought the highest praise from family and friends alike. Guests at our wedding have said our wedding ceremony was one of the best they have ever attended because of Rabbi Marsha Kleinman! We cannot thank Rabbi Marsha Kleinman enough for her thoroughness and patience throughout the entire process and making our wedding day a truly once in a lifetime experience. We are truly grateful. Xavier and Naomi

Rabbi Marsha was amazing to work with and amazing during our wedding weekend. She was so reliable and has also taught us so much that we needed to know. We truly enjoyed working with her and she made our special day so memorable. I would work with Rabbi Marsha again. She was accommodating, dependable, sweet, and truly caring in regards to the people she works with. Thank you Rabbi Marsha for everything. Justin and I truly appreciate you

When planning our wedding, the choice of officiant was a priority. However, my thought process was that this decision came after the venue, music, and florist. However, contacting and working with Rabbi Marsha Jane Kleinman became the most critical decision we made for our happy and joyous wedding. Rabbi Marsha Jane will make grown men cry, every guest laugh out loud, and nervous brides comfortable. With a genuine belief in the power of love, Rabbi will compose an exceptional and personalized ceremony. Your groom will have to work hard to make you feel as significant and loved as Rabbi Marsha Jane does on your wedding day. In life, we often make reliable and satisfactory decisions; however, hiring Rabbi Marsha Jane was a great decision that I will forever be grateful. To fully understand the pleasure it was to have Rabbi Marsha Jane as our officiant, I will start with the end.  When the wedding pictures arrived, smiles and laughing abounded while under the chuppah. The review includes a few pictures to illustrate. Rabbi even made my mother and mother-in-law laugh; which is not easy. By taking the time to understand us as a couple, through several conversations before the wedding, Rabbi Marsha Jane developed a meaningful Jewish ceremony that was perfect for us. The resulting spectacular ceremony incorporated the fun, playful aspects of Evan and my relationship with the deep, genuine love we have for one another. Overall, this resulted in the creation of a magical day for both of us.  Rabbi Marsha Jane interfaced with the venue, florist, and musicians on the day of the wedding, so I did not need to worry about a thing. With style and grace, Rabbi handled Evan's nerves during the tisch. Somehow she corraled the Moms to sign the marriage license. Also, she was able to accomplish all of this while planning a sweet musical surprise for me during the badeken.  After the badeken, Rabbi performed the ketubah signing. Our parents and ketubah signers all agreed on how special she made these last moments before the ceremony. I should insert here a side note, that Rabbi was efficient and timely in responding on the ketubah wording during the ordering process.  If you are looking for an officiant that will make your wedding ceremony extraordinary hire Rabbi Marsha Jane Kleinman. She will personalize each aspect of your ceremony by getting to know you and your beloved and what has brought you to this day. Your ceremony will be fun and lively but will not lose the seriousness of the commitment you are embarking upon. If this is the type of wedding day you would like to create, then Rabbi Marsha Jane Kleinman is the officiant for you.  I cannot give her enough love for being so caring during every stage of our wedding planning.

Rabbi Marsha Jane made us a beautiful ceremony that we will remember forever! We can’t thank her enough for all the help and guidance!

I cannot recommend Rabbi Marsha Jane enough. From the first moment we talked to her it felt like we were speaking to an old friend. Throughout the entire process she truly made an effort to get to know and understand us and make sure that our wedding was as warm and personal as possible. I'm Jewish and my husband is not, so although we wanted a Jewish wedding, Rabbi Marsha made an effort to incorporate traditions from both religions, and explain each step of the ceremony to our guests so everyone felt connected and involved. I cannot tell you how many people have contacted me to tell me how warm, loving and special our ceremony was, and it will always be my favorite moment of the day. Thank you, Rabbi!!

Rabbi Marsha did a phenomenal job for our interfaith wedding! She was super professional, very eager to help in anyway possible, and extremely easy to talk to. It is easy to get along with Rabbi because she is so personable and bubbly she made all of the typical wedding stresses vanish whenever we spoke with her. She performed an amazing ceremony with Father Bob. They worked seamlessly and effortlessly to make sure our day was perfect. All through cocktail hour we were complimented on our officiants! Thank you again Rabbi you did an amazing job we were so lucky to have found you to perform our ceremony.

Marsha was absolutely wonderful to work with. She created an incredibly personal, thoughtful, intimate ceremony for our interfaith elopement and she really captured both of our beliefs, customs, etc. She brought humor, compassion and warmth. From the beginning she really understood who we are and what we were trying to achieve. We couldn't be happier with the ceremony we had and are forever grateful to Marsha for creating a wonderfully memorable and meaningful day. Thank you, Marsha!

She met us in a convenient location to our home and during our first meeting, it had felt like we had already known her for years! We are so lucky to have found Rabbi Marsha Jane!

Rabbi Marsha was great. I am Jewish and my husband isn't. He isn't religious so we only used her. She incorporated some Christian things to our ceremony which made it more special. His whole side loved her. She explained everything as the ceremony went on so they understood her. My family loved her too. She's outgoing, kind, and easy to work with. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

I would highly recommend Marsha to officiate everyone’s wedding.

She was very Responsive and Walked us through every step of the way until our wedding day. I would recommend Rabbi Marsha Jane if any couple wants a beautiful personal wedding ceremony.

Rabbi Marsha was everything we were looking for and went over and beyond on our special day. She was there early and saw I was having a few issues at the venue that needed to be taken care of and she jumped right in and worked with the staff and told me to just relax. She was able to get everything fixed in time and we could not have asked for a more beautiful ceremony. Our family and friends are still talking about it a week later. Rabbi Marsha made sure she made time to find out about us so that at the ceremony we felt like we had known her for years. She brought our Jewish faith along with our love for each other together and if I had to do things over I would not change a thing. All I can say is it was beautiful and we would highly recommend her for any wedding!!

She was always great to talk to and very responsive when we had any questions. We would definitely recommend Rabbi Marsha to anybody else looking for a Rabbi for a special occasion.

Rabbi Marsha was in one word excellent. From start-to-finish, she made our wedding so special and made the process of getting the ceremony planned-out very straight-forward and easy. We are so grateful to have had her be a part of our day, and so thankful that she seamlessly weaved both of our faiths into the ceremony. We highly recommend Rabbi Marsha and know that anyone lucky enough to have their wedding officiated by her will not be disappointed. Thanks

We had such a wonderful experience working with Rabbi Marsha for our wedding this summer. She led such a beautiful and meaningful service. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how special they felt our ceremony was. She took the time to incorporate personal touches and we really felt like the ceremony was tailored exactly to us as a couple. It was truly very special. Rabbi Marsha answered all of my questions leading up to our wedding day and was professional and understanding. I highly recommend using Rabbi Marsha Jane!!

Rabbi Marsha was amazing! From the moment we met her we felt very comfortable with her. She has a very friendly demeanor and did our interfaith wedding with humor, love, and grace. She had personal things to say about each of us from her brief time meeting us. All of our friends and family loved her and thought she was family! She helped with all of the ins and outs of the ketubah, and any questions we had. We definitely recommend that she be part of your ceremony. She is truly one of a kind and we are so glad that she was a part of our special day!!

Rabbi Marsha Jane was great. She took all of our ideas and went with them. She made our wedding as traditionally Jewish as I wanted without making the grooms family feel left out. She even came early to do our bedeken. I recommend her to anyone. Our wedding was a dream come true!

We were very pleased with Rabbi Marsha! She was extremely accessible during our whole wedding planning process for any questions that we had. She was very professional and our guests were very impressed by the personalized ceremony. Marsha even gave me the shoe off of her foot so I could break my glass since my ballet shoes wouldn't have worked! :)

We were looking online for a Rabbi for our wedding who would make the ceremony personal, light hearted, and fun. We couldn't have found a better Rabbi who did that more than Rabbi Marsha. We only met her once prior to the wedding and spoke a couple of times on the phone, but the way she performed the ceremony was that she's known us for years. Everyone came up to us after our wedding to say how our ceremony was one of their favorites! Rabbi Marsha was very helpful also in us figuring out what we needed for the wedding ceremony and for our Ketubah. Rabbi Marsha is sweet, professional, and does an amazing personalized ceremony. We couldn't have asked for a better Rabbi on our wedding day!

Rabbi Marsha was wonderful. My husband and I met Marsha a few months before our wedding and she really took the time to get to know us. During our ceremony she was warm and engaging and my guests and family thought she was great. She made the process very easy and all the necessary details to have a nice Jewish ceremony were taken care of. I highly recommend Rabbi Marsha.

Rabbi Marsha Jane was simply incredible. My now husband and I were looking for a rabbi to perform at our interfaith ceremony and one that would make our ceremony "us". She is professional, diligent, flexible, and delightful to work with. We hit a bump in the road when we found out our Priest may not be able to make our ceremony due to a sickness, but Marsha Jane insured us that our ceremony would be perfect and it truly was. From the beginning till our wedding day, Marsha Jane worked with our ideas and helped us incorporate everything we wanted into our ceremony. Looking back, I don't think I could see us getting married by anyone else. She was amazing and we highly recommend her services to any interfaith couple that wants a wonderful ceremony.

Rabbie Marsha Jane gave us a very warm and wonderful ceremony. She made it so special and personal. All of our family and friends told us how touching and beautiful they found our ceremony. It was a perfect ceremony for my new husband and I to start our lives together. We can't thank you enough for doing such an amazing job. Thank you!!

Rabbi Marsha Jane officiated at my son's wedding on Sunday 11/13/16. We couldn't have been more pleased!! Although my son and his wife live in North Carolina, she was happy to skpe with them in order to get to know them. She personalized the ceremony, yet managed to explain the Jewish customs in a warm and wonderful way. Since Sunday I've been getting calls from friends and relatives saying what a great ceremony it was and how much they enjoyed it. I would highly recommend Rabbi Marsha Jane for any wedding or event you need her for. I think you'll be as thrilled as we are!!

Rabbi Marsha came recommended. Long before the end of our wedding I knew why. She was absolutely delightful, energetic, detail oriented and devoted to making our wedding perfect. From the very start Rabbi Marsha was exuberant and spent a great deal of time explaining not only the details of the process but the meaning and significance of each. She set plenty of time aside to talk on the phone and in person to lay out all everything we needed to do and everything she was preparing on our behalf. Working within our limitations was also a key detail as we had to work within a budget, plan most of the wedding long distance, satisfy a guest list of diverse religious backgrounds respectfully, and still make it unique to our own beliefs and goals. Walking us through each step to make sure our ceremony was unique and personal. In the end, on the day of, she wove a beautiful story for us and our guests, encompassing our history, family, friends. She was funny, captivating and earnest. People laughed, people welled up and after an emotional ceremony not a single, most guest made it a point to approach us with praise for our Rabbi, asking where found such a treasure. I cannot recommend Rabbi Marsha enough and I have no doubt she will make your wedding day a pure joy.

Rabbi Marsha Jane performed the wedding ceremony we always dreamed of. We searched high and low for a Rabbi who was accommodating (Jewish/Catholic ceremony on a Saturday), creative, and who had a delightful sense of humor. She even offered to help us find a deacon or priest to co-officiate in light of my difficulties getting my parish to consider our outdoor ceremony. We could tell Rabbi Marsha was going to write a very meaningful ceremony and we couldn't have been more pleased with her service. She met with us personally and explained the meaning behind everything. As a Catholic, the Jewish traditions and prayers mean a lot to me, and I was so grateful to Rabbi Marsha that her faith was part of our wedding. She presented reasons for certain traditions but gladly accommodated our preferences when we asked. The ceremony was incredibly creative and personal, and she encouraged us to be involved in its design. She even surprised us by reading a line from The Prayer of St. Francis, because I mentioned it was a prayer that my Dad lived. We never would have asked her to read a non-Jewish prayer but it was very moving to everyone in my family that she did that. People still tell us it was the most beautiful ceremony they have ever seen.

Rabbi Kleinman was so awesome! She even recommended a retired priest to coofficiate our ceremony (and when he got lost and didn't make it to the actual ceremony, she did the whole thing by herself on the fly)! She gave us lots of creative ways to modernize the ceremony and patiently explained all Jewish traditions to my Catholic fiance (now husband). She was always super responsive and we received many compliments on the personalization of the ceremony!
