Tender Embrace Ceremonies

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Marjorie! She took the time to truly understand who we are as a couple — our backgrounds, our values, and the kind of ceremony we envisioned. The result was an experience that left us and our guests in awe. Marjorie beautifully wove in Jewish traditions that felt authentic and intentional, not like an afterthought. She knows her stuff, and was able to explain the significance of each element to our guests while keeping the tone deeply moving. Our families — both those familiar with the traditions and those who weren't — felt equally included and touched. One of the highlights of the entire day was the song she incorporated with guest participation—beautifully timed right at twilight. It was such a joyful, unexpected moment that brought our whole community together. Marjorie led it with such warmth and confidence that even the shyest guests couldn't help but join in. What made Marjorie truly extraordinary was her ability to strike that perfect balance between modern and traditional. The ceremony felt timeless yet completely us. There was weight and reverence in the right moments, and lightness and joy in others. She has a gift for pacing and tone that is honestly rare. Her delivery was flawless — warm, clear, and present. She wasn't just reading words off a page; she was genuinely there with us, celebrating us. If you are looking for an officiant who will pour heart and soul into making your ceremony uniquely yours, look no further than Marjorie. She made our wedding day absolutely perfect. 10/10 — we would choose her a thousand times over!

Choosing Tender Embrace Ceremonies to officiate our wedding was one of the most meaningful parts of our entire planning process. From our very first conversation, she made us feel seen, heard, and completely supported. She brought a beautiful balance of professionalism, deep spiritual knowledge, and genuine care to everything she did. Her voice is absolutely stunning. It brought such an emotional depth to our ceremony that many of our guests mentioned it was one of the most moving weddings they had ever attended. The way she wove music into the ceremony felt intentional and heartfelt, and her singing created such a sacred and beautiful atmosphere. It felt like every note carried deep meaning. She also brought a strong sense of Jewish tradition and made sure we understood the significance behind each ritual. At the same time, she was flexible and sensitive to our needs and helped us create a ceremony that reflected who we are as a couple. She offered thoughtful guidance while always making sure the choices felt like ours. On the wedding day, her calming and steady presence helped us feel grounded and at ease. We are so grateful for the care and love she put into every part of the experience. If you are looking for someone with deep knowledge, a compassionate heart, and an unforgettable voice, I cannot recommend Tender Embrace Ceremonies enough.
