Rabbi Silverman was amazing. He took the time to meet us one on one multiple times before the wedding a curate his words for our ceremony and make us feel comfortable. We are so happy with our decision to have Rabbi Silverman officiate our special day and recommend him to anyone who is considering!
My husband and I had the immense pleasure of having Rabbi Silverman officiate our wedding. From the moment we first spoke with Rabbi Silverman, his warmth and genuine care were felt.
Rabbi Silverman's approach to our wedding was deeply personal and tailored to reflect our values and beliefs. He took the time to get to know us as a couple, listening attentively to our love story and understanding the significance of our relationship. This personal touch was evident in every aspect of the ceremony, from the heartfelt blessings to the poignant words he shared. One of the highlights of Rabbi Silverman's involvement was his ability to seamlessly blend tradition with modern aspects of the ceremony. His words struck a chord with everyone present, transcending religious boundaries and speaking to the universal themes of love, commitment, and unity.
Moreover, Rabbi Silverman's calming presence and gentle demeanor were a source of comfort throughout the ceremony with the expected nerves and excitement of the day. He exuded a sense of serenity and wisdom that instantly put us at ease, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the joyous occasion. Beyond his role as an officiant, Rabbi Silverman also served as a source of guidance and support for certain aspects of our wedding that we needed advice on. He offered invaluable advice and perspective. His wisdom, kindness, and genuine love for his work shone through in every interaction, leaving an indelible impression on us and our guests alike. We are profoundly grateful for Rabbi Silverman's contribution to our special day and would wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple! We are so thankful for Rabbi Silverman!
We were looking for an interfaith Rabbi to help us celebrate our wedding and Rabbi Silverman was the perfect choice. We had multiple meetings with him prior to the wedding and he made us feel so at ease with the planning process. MY husband is Jewish but I am not and he created the perfect ceremony to blend our two families. He personalized the ceremony exactly how how envisioned it and we had the perfect day. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding.
Any questions?
Rabbi Silverman was such a pleasure to work with from the very beginning! We hired him about a year prior to our wedding and he often would check in with us throughout our planning process. He always assured us that the day would be about us and what we wanted which we very much appreciated as we are an interfaith couple. He was flexible with the vows and words spoken in the ceremony that made our ceremony that much more special since we were able to customize it for us.
As an interfaith couple, Rabbi Silverman was very respectful of ensuring that neither family would feel excluded and that both families would understand all the blessings. Rabbi Silverman was also extremely responsive the entire time, answered all our questions and was extremely punctual at the rehearsal and the wedding day.
We also appreciated the Rabbi’s sense of humor and all our guests still comment on how much they loved our ceremony!
Couldn’t recommend Rabbi Silverman enough! He’s more than we could have even asked for in a Rabbi and hope to work with Rabbi Silverman in future family events.
Rabbi Silverman was an absolute gem in crafting the perfect wedding ceremony for us. Our year-long journey leading up to the big day was a pleasure, filled with meaningful conversations and genuine connections.

Throughout our planning process, he not only prioritized our desires but also welcomed and seamlessly incorporated any ideas we had. His flexibility and openness made the entire experience incredibly personal and unique to us.
Communication with Rabbi Silverman was exceptional. He consistently stayed in touch, checking in on us and offering his support whenever needed. On the day of our wedding, Rabbi Silverman was a beacon of warmth and love. His words during the ceremony were not just heard but felt by everyone present. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how his words encapsulated the essence of our love and the spirit of the day. Rabbi Silverman's ability to create an atmosphere of heartfelt love and inclusivity made our ceremony truly magical. His willingness to go above and beyond to make our day special is something we'll always cherish. If you're looking for an officiant who listens, incorporates your ideas, and delivers a ceremony filled with warmth and love, Rabbi Silverman is the perfect choice!!
Rabbi Silverman was the perfect addition to our wedding ceremony. He personalizes the ceremony to exactly what you want. He is extremely attentive and always makes himself available to meet in person or via FaceTime. We are so happy to have found Rabbi Silverman to officiate our ceremony. He will forever be a part of our family! He adds sentimental touches. You will not be disappointed! He is amazing!
There’s something incredibly special about Rabbi Silverman. He was an absolute pleasure to speak with every phone call, meeting and zoom. He made it feel like we’ve known him for years. Our wedding date was shared with my grandparents, and he so graciously incorporated a few nice statements into our ceremony at my request naturally with ease. I would recommend anyone and everyone to have Rabbi Silverman officiate their wedding!
Having a Rabbi as an officiant was very important to me, and we made the right choice with Rabbi Silverman. He was patient, thoughtful and very flexible. Most importantly the wedding ceremony ran perfectly. One of the most repeated compliments I got on the night of our wedding, was how incredible the Rabbi was. I can not recommend Rabbi Silverman enough.
We got married a few weeks ago in the Keys and Rabbi Silverman was absolutely incredible! He was there for any questions or concerns we had for our wedding. He amazing on the day of. He got there hours early and truly performed a beautiful ceremony. We highly recommend him. Thanks again Rabbi! Gabrielle & Joe
One of things I was very nervous about when planning our wedding was who will marry us. We are both Jewish and were having the wedding at a temple and obviously we wanted to make sure a rabbi was marrying us. I will not name names but I did not have the greatest conversation with the rabbi that was actually affiliated with the temple we were getting married at. Feeling hopeless, Rabbi Silverman was highly recommended to me by my wedding planner. He had actually married her. From my first interaction with Rabbi Silverman I knew my search was over, he was the perfect person to marry us. We worked together with Rabbi Silverman to create a wedding ceremony that was perfect for us. Everyone at the party came up to us about what a beautiful ceremony it was. It truly was my favorite part of the entire night and that was all thanks to Rabbi Silverman. I cannot recommend him enough!!
Rabbi Silverman officiated our wedding in Boca Raton. He was wonderful! He made our ceremony warm, personal, and heartfelt. Even though we were out of state he made an effort to meet with us via Zoom and really get to know us beforehand. During the ceremony he really made the Jewish traditions accessible to all guest. We loved working with him and can't recommend him enough for your next celebration!
Rabbi Silverman performed a wonderful wedding ceremony. The guests were left in awe from the beautiful passages that were said and we really appreciated his support throughout the planning process and willingness to get on a call at any point in time. Highly recommend Rabbi Silverman!
We had the privilege of having Rabbi Silverman officiate our wedding ceremony and it was truly a magical experience. From the moment we met him, he made us feel special and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. He was always available to answer any questions and guide us through the process. We are so grateful for his warm spirit and professionalism. We highly recommend Rabbi Silverman to anyone looking for a wonderful wedding ceremony
Rabbi Silverman was amazing! My husband and myself were extremely happy having him part of our big day. He met with us before the wedding and went over everything with us. He’s the sweetest and very funny both meeting with him prior and the day of the wedding. We would 10000000% recommend Rabbi Silverman!
Rabbi thank you for being apart of our big day!!
Rabbi Silverman did an amazing job being the officiant at our wedding. He did a great job at incorporating both of our religions as one of us were Jewish and the other is Lutheran. The ceremony was beautiful and meaningful. We are thank-ful and appreciate that he married us.
We had the most heart felt wedding ceremony led by Rabbi Silverman. He instinctually knew when to make jokes and be rabbinical . All eyes and ears were on him as he led our ceremony.
Our guests were cheering and beaming us love as Rabbi Silverman married Mark and myself
We did Zoom calls, meetings in person , emails more Zoom calls to make sure everything was perfect! It truly was. We highly recommend Rabbi Robert Silverman . Meryl K
Rabbi Silverman was so awesome to work with! We had several phone calls with him before our event to get to really know him. He made the process completely seamless and made us feel comfortable on the day of the event. He had our vows printed beforehand and made a very special rose ceremony for our parents. He was very personable and friendly!! He kept the ceremony fun while including all of the religious aspects that we wanted. I would highly recommend using Rabbi Silverman for your next wedding or event!!!
On the day of a lifetime, we envisioned the perfect day. We are so thankful and blessed that Rabbi Silverman walked into our world.
He made our day so effortlessly and smooth and will be remembered forever!
He was heartwarming and kind. He has so much love for what he does!! I would recommend him at the highest level of confidence that you will love him!
Rabbi Silverman was great! He promptly answered all questions we had and made the whole process as smooth as possible. We highly recommend him!
Rabbi Silverman is terrific. As an interfaith couple, the ceremony was everything that we wanted with many thanks to Rabbi Silverman. He was flexible and accommodating, and worked well with the co-officiant. But as great as the ceremony was, it’s everything leading up to it where Rabbi Silverman shines. He met with us many times during the process, each time explaining everything that he would do to make things go flawlessly on special day. We can’t thank him enough for all that he did.
I have been in the wedding industry for 5+ years and I knew I wanted someone special to officiate our wedding ceremony. After countless phone calls with officiants, we reached out to Rabbi Silverman & had an immediate connection. He is warm, kind, and made it seamless to obtain our marriage license. Not to mention his ceremonies are absolutely beautiful and meaningful. I can’t begin to say how many guests came up to us after the ceremony (and for many weeks after!) saying how amazing he was & how much they enjoyed the his words! Highly recommend Rabbi Silverman and his services! He is a wonderful man, look no further!
Rabbi Silverman was truly amazing. From the start, he made us feel like our wedding was all about us and our love. He put together a truly beautiful ceremony and left all the details up to us in terms of which traditions to include (or to exclude) and listened to us throughout the process. He was very flexible and available to talk to us when needed. We loved talking to him and spending time with him in Florida as well. He made our day feel special and us feel supported as a couple about to be married. We are so glad that he officiated our wedding!
Rabbi Silverman is such a mensch. He was very helpful with the entire process of planning, customizing & performing the beautiful ceremony at our wedding. We had wonderful conversations prior to the big day, getting to know one another felt easy. This man understands everyone has their own vision & idea of how they want their ceremony to take place & he fulfills then some. We highly HIGHLY recommend for anyone in need of a great Rabbi, with a superb attitude, kind & funny human, Thank you, Rabbi Silverman!
Rabbi Silverman was an amazing officiant and the perfect choice for our interfaith wedding. My husband and I aren’t super religious to begin with, but Rabbi Silverman customized everything to our needs. From the start, he made us feel super comfortable and really wanted to get to know us as a couple. He checked in with us multiple times before the big day and was always available for any questions we had. We truly feel like he was invested in our love story and he was a fantastic officiant. I’d recommend Rabbi Silverman to anyone getting married in South Florida!
Rabbi led an amazing 30 minute service. It was both memorable and beautiful. He got to know us well over the past 6 months and truly cared about me and my bride. We couldn’t recommend him enough!
Rabbi Silverman made our wedding day one we will never forget. His two “rules” of (1) no red wine - for obvious reasons and (2) writing our own vows made our ceremony more intimate than we could have imagined. He continued to support us through the wedding planning process by not just being there for you as your rabbi but also as someone that considers the bride and groom individually and makes sure each feel special on their day. He is incredibly flexible. He also made it as if the ceremony was not just for us but also for all that attended. We received many compliments as to how beautiful the ceremony was and how it made people reflect on their own marriages and relationships. We could not have asked for a better rabbi and would do it all over again tomorrow if we could!
Rabbi Silverman was very helpful and thorough. We met a few times before the wedding to discuss what we wanted to include in our ceremony and he helped us tailor our ceremony to be very “us.” When it unfortunately rained on the date of the event (our ceremony was outside), he helped keep us calm and helped “streamline” the ceremony since we had a late start and didn’t want to lose any valuable time from the rest of our night. Overall, he was a great Rabbi who really helped make our day special.
We could not have had a better officiant. My husband is Hindu and I’m Jewish and Rabbi Silverman worked with us in writing our ceremony. He worked well with the Hindu priest and worked with us in having a ceremony Saturday morning. He is so kind and really wanted to get to know us prior to our special day, and called us multiple times to build that relationship. He was responsive, on time, and kind. We had so many compliments on how beautiful the ceremony was and could not have done it without him. We’d recommend him 1000 times over. He felt like family!
If you need a Rabbi to officiate your wedding, look no further than Rabbi Robert Silverman. He talked to us several times before our wedding and made us feel comfortable. Everyone enjoyed our ceremony and we owe it to Rabbi Silverman. He made us feel comfortable and did an excellent job officiating our ceremony. You won’t be disappointed if you hire him.
My husband and I used Rabbi Silverman to officiate our wedding- vow renewal in November. We were legally married during Covid but wanted to still have a traditional jewish ceremony and celebrate with our friends and family the way we initially planned pre-covid. Rabbi Silverman did a wonderful job making this second wedding just as special. He was professional, warm, and engaging. Our guests let us know how much they enjoyed the ceremony as well. We highly recommend Rabbi Silverman for your wedding!
Rabbi Silverman made our entire experience and wedding so special. He met with us on multiple occasions to really get to know us. He worked with us when we had to change our date due to covid. He married us in private, did my daughters baby naming and then did our wedding ceremony. He was more than incredible we wish we could get married every year with him!!!!
Rabbi Silverman played a big role in making our day perfect!! Even before the wedding, he helped us prepare and feel very confident. I would 100% recommend. We have made a lifelong friend and hope to include Rabbi Silverman is future milestones!!
During our wedding planning process, my sister took the time to search for a Rabbi to officiate our wedding. We are so grateful that she found Rabbi Robert Silverman for us. He was the first and only phone call that we made. Upon our first phone conversation and in-person meeting, it was quickly apparent that he was our go to guy. His professionalism, responsiveness, warmth, sense of humor, and wisdom were evident right off the bat. Throughout the process leading up to the wedding, it was very clear that Rabbi Silverman's experience is second to none. My wife and I felt comfortable with him every step of the way, and knew that we were in good hands for our special day. Sure enough, he did not disappoint. Many of our guests commented on how beautiful and elegant the ceremony was, and Rabbi Silverman was a primary reason for that.
Rabbi Silverman's services can't be summed up in just officiating. We developed a friendship during the process, so much so that a few of my friends at the wedding commented on our "bromance" :-). When I had some trepidation concerning the vows that I had written prior to our wedding day, Rabbi Silverman confidently offered me his counsel, and his advice turned out to be an absolute home run. His expertise also extended beyond our ceremony and wedding day. We will always carry with us the thoughts and wisdom that he shared regarding building and maintaining a successful partnership and marriage. To sum it up, anyone looking for a wedding officiant would be doing themselves a favor by retaining Rabbi Silverman's services. He is an outstanding guy!!
Working with Rabbi Silverman put us at ease more then anything else for our wedding. As a couple who came from two different backgrounds he worked with us to not only make sure we were 100% comfortable, but to help us navigate some of the difficult family dynamics that come with the territory. He worked closely with us to fully customize our ceremony to be perfectly suited for our needs and something truly beautiful. He never had an issue with any of the (multiple) changes we made to the ceremony.
As a 2020 couple, our wedding planning journey got extended to be over 2 years, and he met with us several times, checking in periodically and going above and beyond to help calm our nerves.
You can tell from the very first meeting with Rabbi Silverman that he genuinely cares about his couples. One of the most common feedbacks we got from our guests was about how touched they were by our ceremony and how it was one of the most personal and romantic wedding ceremonies they have ever been to. We highly recommend Rabbi Silverman and are so thrilled we got work with him.
Rabbi Silverman was perfect for our interfaith wedding ceremony. He customized the ceremony to fit out needs and assisted us with any questions along with way. Our guests also loved him as we received multiple compliments after. Thanks again Rabbi!
Rabbi Silverman was heaven sent! Do your self a favor and book him now ! He made our wedding beautiful and it was very dynamic. He made us feel at ease and comfortable, basically walked us through everything before and during the ceremony as we had never been married before ! He also let our family know what they should do before the ceremony. Him and Father Gallant were at the venue 1 hour before. Their professionalism is impecable. We had an interfaith wedding with Bishop Joseph Gallant and they both have an amazing dynamic! They speak the most beautiful words and we received compliments from everyone on the ceremony! The ceremony was beautiful and they made it so much fun at the same time. Rabbi Silverman has an amazing aura and charisma like no other ! I will forever cherish all the advices he has given us and hope to have him in our lives as well as Bishop Gallant for many more special occasions.
Rabbi Silverman was absolutely wonderful! I made the decision to hire him after I was the maid of honor in my best friends wedding, he also was the Rabbi for her wedding. I knew I wanted him to perform our wedding ceremony from the moment I heard him speak. His words are so touching and beautiful. He was responsive and attentive to all of our needs through the planning process. Our wedding ceremony was perfect and exactly what we wanted. If you are in need of a Rabbi I cannot recommend Rabbi Silverman enough!
Rabbi Silverman was called upon last minute as our plans changed due to COVID. He was warm, welcoming, and all around wonderful. He made us feel like he had known us for years, and conducted a beautiful and incredibly special ceremony. Thank you, Rabbi Silverman!
Thank You - Talked us off the Ledge
We were nervous, things were not going great, but you adapted to the needs of the wedding and gave us the perfect ceremony for us and our guests. THANK YOU
Rabbi Silverman was amazing and helped us have the perfect ceremony! He made us feel extremely comfortable throughout the entire process and his warmth made it feel like we had known him for many years. He listened to our ideas and wishes and helped us personalize our wedding ceremony to exactly what we wanted. We highly recommend Rabbi Silverman!
We decided to plan a last-minute covid-wedding and were grateful to have found Rabbi Silverman. He was very responsive and checked in with us frequently leading up to the event. He also took the time to meet with us and worked to put together a ceremony that was right for us. By the time our wedding came we felt like we had known him for years. I should also mention that we managed to lose our ketubah at the venue (thankfully he was prepared with a beautiful paper version that we ended up getting framed); but he was kind enough to meet us months later for another pretend ceremony with our parents!
Rabbi Robert Silverman is an incredible person who made us feel completely at ease. He was the perfect Rabbi to walk us through the process and support our journey from beginning to end, even through COVID when we had to cancel and reschedule the entire wedding. Cannot recommend him enough — truly an excellent, compassionate, and supportive human being.
My husband and I are interfaith and decided last minute that we wanted a Rabbi to marry us. We were recommended by our wedding venue and thank goodness we were. Rabbi Silverman was ALWAYS available and helped us curate the perfect ceremony. He really took the time to get to know us and listen to us and it truly showed. He really embraced joining two families, traditions and religions in the most beautiful and understanding way. All of our wedding guests were so impressed and it was the most beautiful ceremony they had ever seen, I agree. Not only did we get married during a pandemic but we were also gifted with a hurricane the same day. I would recommend Rabbi Silverman over and over again!
Mike L - Rabbi Silverman was phenomenal, my now wife and I are forever grateful for the phenomenal job he and the Bishop did with every aspect of our wedding.
The preparation leading up to the wedding put us both at ease. We come from two different faiths, and this was a big concern for us. However, one conversation with the Rabbi and the Bishop, and we instantly felt a connection. We felt comfortable and confident our ceremony would be everything we wanted.
In the end, the ceremony exceeded all expectations, we truly loved every instant. So did both sides of our families and guests. They truly made everyone feel included.
They are tremendous invidivually, and as a pairing they are spectacular! If you are looking to have a wedding that both carries the seriousness of the event; with also some humor to keep it flowing and entertaining, Rabbi Silverman is your officiant!

Dear Mike and Shearly,
Bishop Gallant and I enjoyed the times we spoke, the zoom meetings and most of all the day of your Wedding. We hope to be involved with you for many years to come.
Rabbi Silverman
Rabbi Silverman was the epitome of a professional in every respect. The attention to detail and commitment to his practice resulted in the most beautiful wedding ceremony.
Scott and Oxana Goldfarb
Right at our 1st contact, we knew Rabbi Silverman was the right Rabbi for us. He immediately shared samples of services he has performed before we even made a decision. His straightforward approach worked for us during the planning process. He was always available to take our calls and took the time to get to know us. And even though this was a paired-down event during Covid he did a stellar job. We couldn't have been more delighted with our wedding ceremony. We would highly recommend Rabbi Silverman to everyone.
Wonderful experience with Rabbi Silverman. He provided us with an outline for our ceremony and helped us tweak it to make it perfect for us. He checked in with us regularly before our big day. He was available to answer our million questions. The day of the ceremony, he was amazing. So warm and caring. All our guests were blown away at our fantastic ceremony. We are so thankful for Rabbi Silverman!!
Rabbi Robert Silverman helped to make our beach wedding planning enjoyable and stress-free. He offered options and flexibility to suit our personal preferences and needs. We appreciate his vast knowledge and experience as he guided us through the planning of our ceremony. Our wedding day was wonderful. Thank you, Rabbi Robert!
Response from the Vendor on 12/26/2020
It was a pleasure creating a ceremony that expressed your love for one another.
The weather on the beach was questionable that day.
As the clouds were forming a ray of sunshine broke through and remained until your wedding ceremony ended wit...
h a kiss.
Stay safe and enjoy the possibilities for 2021
Rabbi Silverman
Could not have picked a better officiant to marry us. My husband and I are so grateful for Rabbi Silverman as he has been everything we wanted in a vendor. Has amazing communication skills and is very easy going. Highly recommend!!!
We had a great experience with Rabbi Silverman! We had an interfaith wedding, Jewish and Christian, and the pastor and rabbi worked so well together. Our ceremony seamlessly incorporated the traditions of our perspective religions. Rabbi Silverman was very flexible with all of the changes we had to make due to COVID.
We can not thank Rabbi Silverman enough for all that he did to help make our day as special and memorable as it was. We had originally planned a wedding at a Venue but due to the Covid-19 situation we had to cancel. From the first time we met Rabbi Silverman in person we kibitzed for hours as we learned about each other and immediately knew he was the right Rabbi for us. He made himself available to us with incredibly flexible hours and communicated with us regularly. We felt very comfortable giving him a call with any question at all.
When we decided to cancel our venue, we called Rabbi Silverman to talk through our thoughts of the possibility of doing a virtual wedding. He thought it was a great idea and researched the state laws around it and came up with the perfect solution to where we met in person in limited numbers to officially sign out ketubah and marriage license and then perform the ceremony later that day online for our family and friends.
Rabbi Silverman is like a mobile Judaic Shop, our real Ketubah ended up not arriving on time and Rabbi Silverman had it all, a Ketubah for us to sign on our day as well as Kepot, Pens, Kiddish Cup, Wine, and the glass to step on under the chuppah....you name it, you forgot it, he has it.
You should definitely consider Rabbi Silverman for your next simcha, you will not be dissapointed!
Our wedding planner recommended Rabbi Silverman to do our wedding and we could not be happier with him. Although our big day hasn’t happened yet, he has been so warm and goes out of his way to keep in touch. During this pandemic our wedding was rescheduled to 2021. My now husband and I did not want to wait until 2021 to officially get married since we have a kid together. Rabbi Silverman made it all happen and we cannot wait to continue working with him for the big day! He’s the type of person that will be in our lives forever!
We had the most best experience working with Rabbi Silverman, he was there with us threw the hole process and we had little as 5 months to plan our wedding he was so attentive every step of the way when it come to planning out ceremony, it went so smooth we still remain friends after our wedding , it was a pleasure having rabbi Silverman Marry us .
Love ,

From the moment we met it was the beginning of a long friendship.
After thinks quiet down look forward to speaking with you.
Warm wishes,
Rabbi Silverman
We were quite happy with our experience with Rabbi Silverman. His professionalism, sincerity, and over all performance was all at a high level. He knows how to make it an easy process for the groom and bride which helped our nerves and insured a smooth ceremony. Overall he does a great ceremony.
Rabbi Silverman made sure the ceremony was perfect. He blended two cultures into one. At the end of the wedding, the guests mentioned that the ceremony was one of their favorites parts. I’m grateful to have Rabbi Silverman be part of our special day.
My husband's family had one request - that we hire a rabbi for our wedding. I grew up non-religious, so we knew we would need to find an interfaith rabbi for our wedding. Rabbi Silverman was ready and willing to marry us and gave us a ceremony that was traditionally jewish without being overwhelming for my family - it was the perfect balance!
Rabbi Silverman was a great addition to our wedding day. From the first time we reached out to the wedding day itself, he was very responsive, and wanted to be very involved. He asked to meet to get to know us personally, and helped us tailor our ceremony to our exact vision. He is kind, responsive, and professional, and we would recommend him to anyone looking for an interfaith ceremony!
Response from the Vendor on 02/19/2020
Thank you for the beautiful review.
Please know if you have any questions in the future do not hesitate to contact me
He was amazing! Not only did I meet him years before I was engaged but I instantly connected and told him when the time came he would be hearing from me...3 years later I called him up and told him I wanted him to be the Rabbi to officiate our wedding! His schedule was extremely flexible...anytime I reached out via phone or email he was quick to respond! He is willing to meet as often as possible! Both my parents and in laws loved him as well! He’s extremely personable and the ceremony was special and unique. I have been to many Jewish weddings and the script he performed was completely new to me and I loved it. For that reason upon others we chose not to even write our own vows because I wanted to be so present for the ceremony. Neither my husband nor I are very religious and the ceremony was still so beautiful and reformed enough to keep us very happy! Guests came up to me after and said how beautiful the ceremony was!!

Dear Danelle,
Thank you for the beautiful review.
Warmest wishes,
Rabbi Silverman
My husband and I are so glad Rabbi Silverman officiated our wedding. He was responsive throughout the entire planning process, open to having calls and exchange emails regularly and was always on time (or early!) for our meetings. We received many compliments after our ceremony and would highly recommend him to other couples.
Rabbi Silverman is an amazing man that made our wedding a truly special occasion. He created a custom and tailored experience for exactly what we wanted. From the moment we contacted him he made us feel like family and let us know he was here for us through the entire process. He was more than willing to talk over the phone or meet in person whenever we needed him. Rabbi Silverman will make your wedding a truly amazing service and he is hands down the best choice!
Rabbi Silverman took our wedding ceremony to a new level. Our friends and family are still talking about how beautiful the ceremony was. When we first met him, we knew we wanted him to be apart of our special day. He cared about us as a couple. He wanted the day to be about us, and that was something we did not see with other officiants. We are so happy with our choice. We would recommend him to any of our friends and family members.
Rabbi Silverman was such a pleasure to work with! He was easy to communicate with, spent lots of time getting to know us and was so helpful answering all of our questions. We are so grateful he was a part of our special day!
Rabbi Silverman was wonderful! He was always a phone call away and put me and my-now husband at ease through the whole wedding process. He customized our ceremony so it felt perfect for us as a couple. I still have family and friends tell me how wonderful his ceremony was at our wedding.
My husband and I are an interfaith couple so we were looking for a priest and a rabbi to perform our ceremony. Rabbi Silverman made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process and was always easy to get in touch with. He partnered with his good friend, Bishop Gallant, to perform our ceremony and we met with them both on a few occasions to make sure that it would be everything we wanted it to be. The meetings were very casual, never serious, and we both enjoyed spending time with them. The two of them have a great chemistry and brought such wonderful energy. We had so many guests ask us about them afterwards and tell us how much they truly enjoyed the way they ran the ceremony. I would highly recommend both of them for peace of mind and a beautiful day :)
Wow, we are so fortunate to have been married by Rabbi Silverman! He is such a wonderful person and he really helped bring the vision of our ceremony to life. We had a wedding with mainly Jewish customs; however we are an interfaith couple. Rabbi Silverman generously met and spoke with us several times before our wedding to learn about us and what we wanted to include or omit from our ceremony. He has a beautiful perspective on life, partnership, marriage, and family and we instantly felt connected to him and that we could trust him as our rabbi. He was so loving and generous with all of us. Rabbi Silverman feels like part of our forever family now!
It was an absolute pleasure working with Rabbi Robert. He went out of his way to make himself available, whether be facetime, phone calls, or in person, which was especially important for me because I was planning a wedding from out-of-town. He made sure that the wedding ceremony completely reflected myself and my husband and was careful to ensure that it was exactly what we wanted. I am so appreciative of his time and service, and would 100% recommend him to others.
Rabbi Silverman and Father Gallant were great! We were worried from the start about combining Catholic and Jewish traditions. They made it so easy and were so accommodating to both our needs and our families. They were very professional yet cared about us having a great day and even added some humor! 100% would recommend to anyone in a similar situation - they will structure it however you and your partner want!
I feel very fortunate that I happened to come across Rabbi Silverman on The Knot when I was searching for officiants because there couldn’t have been a better choice! My husband is Christian and I am Jewish so we decided to have both a Rabbi and Bishop officiate our ceremony. Rabbi Silverman and Bishop Gallant have the interfaith ceremony down to perfection. No one in our family felt slighted that one side got more attention than the other. We’ve even gotten multiple complements from our guests that it was the best ceremony they had ever been to. They were always available to chat if we needed anything and very supportive along the way. One of my biggest challenges was convincing my husband how important it was to me to keep some of the traditions of Judaism in the ceremony (i.e. breaking the glass, the chuppah, and the ketubah) and both Rabbi Silverman and Bishop Gallant aided in helping him to understand the symbolism of it all so that he felt comfortable keeping those traditions in. I would recommend him 1000% without question to anyone looking.
Rabbi Silverman and Father Joe were the perfect choice for our interfaith wedding. They were flexible, open and made us feel completely at ease both before and on our wedding day. There was the perfect balance on our wedding day and they made sure that both our families felt respected in their religious beliefs. They also did a good job at explaining the traditions and making sure all our guests felt welcome. Highly recommended!
Rabbi Silverman was so great to work with and made our wedding day so wonderful! We were out of state clients and so we scheduled periodic FaceTime and phone call sessions to discuss the wedding ceremony. Rabbi Silverman provided us with a template that included beautiful passages and helped us to create a format that merged our two traditions, Jewish and Persian, into one. He also encouraged us to write our own vows, something I am SO glad we did. The ceremony itself was absolutely beautiful and we received many comments afterwards. Lots of happy tears! Thank you Rabbi!
We are so excited we chose Rabbi Silverman to officiate our wedding. He is kind, easy to work with, extremely organized, and fun! We spoke with him many times before our day to ensure we were all set, and he actually sent us numerous e-mail reminders to prevent anything from slipping our minds. Our family and friends all loved the ceremony – the perfect balance of tradition, happy tears, and laughter!
Rabbi Silverman was awesome. He met with us in advance to sit down and get a feel for what we wanted in our wedding ceremony. Neither myself nor my husband are religious, but there are many aspects of the ceremony that are important to our parents. He customized the ceremony to fit what we wanted, and also what our parents wanted. He scheduled a few phone calls during the planning process to touch base. He attended our rehearsal the Friday before our wedding. He arrived prompt for our wedding day. He provided everything we could possibly need so that if we forgot something, he would be ready and prepared. This is very helpful as you will be stressed on your wedding day! His voice was calm and soothing and overall I think he was just perfect for our ceremony.
Rabbi Silverman was great! We had a destination wedding so needed to find someone in the local area who we didn't know. He really took the time to get to know us through the process so the wedding felt so personal. We loved that he went through the whole ceremony with us multiple times and was willing to adapt it to what we wanted. It was a great bonus that he came to our rehearsal to help get us organized! i Highly recommend Rabbi Silverman!
Rabbi Silverman was wonderful to work with, and I'd highly recommend him to anyone planning a wedding in South Florida. He was flexible and accommodating, and he encouraged us to customize the ceremony as we wanted. He also came prepared with anything we might need in case we forgot anything on the day of the wedding (an extra kiddish cup, ketubah, our printed vows etc). It was so nice to have nothing to worry about on the big day! He made planning our wedding from Chicago a breeze, and of our guests told us how beautiful the ceremony was. I would highly recommend Rabbi Silverman!
Rabbi Silverman was the absolute best!
We starting working with Rabbi Silverman a little over a year before our wedding, and for many this is really early to start the conversation, but Rabbi Silverman immediately starting working with us and having phone calls & FaceTiming us to get to know us better and started talking about what we wanted in our ceremony.
My favorite thing about Rabbi Silverman throughout the process was that he was very focused on us and making sure we were happy and comfortable with every step and aspect of the ceremony. Once we had decided on what we wanted to include in our ceremony, we were in constant contact and Rabbi Silverman always made sure we were happy with the order of events and if we felt something should be switched up, without hesitation he promptly sent back revisions to the outline after we chatted until it was absolutely perfect to us. Rabbi Silverman took all of our fears away and we felt very comforted that we had him throughout the planning process to give us tips and tricks and really remind us while the wedding is very important and will be the best day of our lives, it's just one day- but our marriage and our bond is forever.
On the wedding day, Rabbi Silverman arrived early and performed an incredible Ketubah signing and wedding ceremony. He has such a calm, polite and loving presence which fit the day perfectly and he spoke so well and clear to the audience. He was the perfect Rabbi for our wedding and the day wouldn't have been the same without him! I strongly recommend and urge any couple to use Rabbi Silverman as your wedding officiant. He will take care of you and he genuinely cares about your happiness and making sure your wedding day is the best of your lives. We can't thank Rabbi Silverman enough for playing such an important part in our wedding day! He absolutely nailed it and truly is the best!
Rabbi Robert Silverman is not just a great officiant, he is a great person. He is warm, genuine, friendly and funny, and an absolute joy to know. His wealth of experience and personality allows him to put to ease even the most nervous bride or groom. He comes with a giant binder full of information and a sample ceremony, but he will let you know anything and everything is customizable. You want this part, this part, and that part, but not those? No problem. Rabbi Silverman above all will let you know that it's your ceremony. He is, without a doubt, amazing. You're not in in merely good hands if you decide to have Rabbi Silverman officiate your wedding. You're in the best of hands.
Rabbi Silverman was fantastic! He made the ceremony all about us by working through multiple options for prayers and customs that aligned with our prospective while honoring traditional Jewish values. He was a pleasure to work with and was very accessible. Rabbi Silverman literally went the extra mile for us as he made the 2+ hour drive across the coast so he could be at our rehearsal the day before the wedding. Highly recommended for his flexibility, caring nature and personal touch!
My husband and I got married exactly 1 month ago today, Rabbi Silverman made our night absolutely perfect, throughout the entire process he made us feel comfortable instantly,He was with us every step of the way, working with us on our interfaith ceremony that would make it very important for us as well for our families. Every word spoken touched us and our guests the emotion and love was felt deeply. If we could give ten stars we would all the way. He is spectacular and definitely highly recommended. He understood us as a couple and everything else just came together. We are beyond grateful for him!
Happy Bride & Groom
Rabbi Silverman was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We were able to customize our ceremony with the Rabbi and he was more than accommodating, even with last minute changes. I can not say more kind things about the Rabbi! Definitely a 5 Star Plus experience.
Rabbi Silverman was an absolute pleasure to work with! My husband and I hired him nearly a year from our wedding and he went above and beyond to have several meetings with us both in person and on the phone (we planned a FL wedding from DC) to create our most perfect ceremony. Many of the guests on my side are not Jewish and commented on how well the Rabbi explained many of the Jewish traditions so they were not lost during the ceremony. Our ceremony was a perfect blend of two faiths! He was also applauded by guests for flawlessly handling a little hiccup when a freight train (loudly) went by for nearly 5 minutes. He paused for a moment and when it wouldn't stop, he kept going and even added a little joke about our "love train" at the end of the ceremony. I would recommend Rabbi Silverman to any couple looking for a kind, compassionate and genuine officiant for both interfaith and religious ceremonies. Thank you, Rabbi Silverman!
Rabbi Silverman did a truly beautiful ceremony for us. It was intimate and he said wise and hopeful words to us. He stayed afterwards at our small dinner and we had a wonderful time talking with Rabbi. He is a great person and extremely personable. I would most certainly recommend him to anyone looking to get married in Florida! He made our wedding special.
Rabbi Silverman is amazing! He really took the time to get to know us before our wedding day. We loved how personal he made our ceremony, and how comfortable he made us feel. He always told us that it was our day and was so flexible to all of our desires, questions and needs. Our friends and family approached us for months after our wedding and commented on how wonderful our officiant and ceremony was. You cannot go wrong with Rabbi Silverman!
It was such an amazing experience. My entire life I wanted a Jewish wedding and Rabbi Silverman made it happen against all odds. We spoke to several Rabbis and everyone of them refused. Right when we were about to give up, Rabbi Silverman, came along and gave us hope again. His calm attitude, confidence, and humbleness was a perfect fit for us. He has all parts of his speech prepared and discusses all of it with you. He was very flexible and allowed us to change it where necessary. It was very enjoyable.
The best! My now husband is not jewish and I am - it was very hard to find a rabbi that didnt want to just convert him, but rather gotten to know us as a couple and listened to our wants and needs. Rabbi Silverman did just that. He worked with us the whole time, made us feel comfortable and made all religions feel included. My husbands family is extremely religious (protestant/baptist on one side catholic on the other) and we were so nervous about how they were going to react to the rabbi. Both sets of grandparents couldnt have loved him more - we were shocked and thrilled at the same time. We highly recommend and can't thank Rabbi Silverman enough.
Rabbi Silverman was an extreme pleasure to work with. He was very kind, professional, and one of the nicest people we have ever met. Rabbi Silverman was very attentive to our needs in preparing for our wedding, making sure we were happy, and made the entire wedding experience a lot less stressful. He met with us several times over the course of the wedding planning and joined us at the rehearsal to insure everything went smoothly.
My wife and her family are not Jewish but we wanted to have a Jewish ceremony with certain traditions. He made sure to incorporate everything we wanted. We loved that he explained the Jewish traditions to the guests so that everyone felt included. Many relatives on both sides let us know that they thoroughly enjoyed the ceremony, finding it romantic, meaningful, and "not stuffy".
We honestly couldn't have done it without him and couldn't be happier with his services and his professionalism.
Thanks Rabbi! A++++

We recently had Rabbi Silverman officiate our wedding and he was amazing! Very professional, he met with us multiple times prior to our wedding and it was if we knew him for years.
So many of our guests complimented the ceremony and how good the Rabbi Silverman was.
If we could give 6 stars we would!
Rabbi Silverman was incredible to work with, and we are so glad he officiated our wedding in January! He is warm, compassionate, funny, and genuine. He took our requests into consideration and tailored our wedding ceremony to us as a couple. We felt he truly cared about getting to know us and that was apparent in our ceremony, which had most of our guests in tears and was so heartfelt. From the first time I spoke with him through our wedding day, I felt like I had known Rabbi Silverman for years. We are so grateful to have found him to marry us. Our Ketubah signing ceremony was beautiful, intimate, and unique, and Rabbi Silverman has everything you can possibly need for your wedding ceremony! He is a gem, and we can't recommend him highly enough!!
Rabbi Silverman did an amazing job at our wedding! He was very accommodating when it came to what my husband and I wanted included in our interfaith ceremony. He also took the time to meet with us several times before the wedding to discuss any concerns that we had. I'm so glad we chose him to officiate! I would definitely recommend his services.
