Cantor Caron was phenomenal to work with, from start to finish! She worked with us to create a unique, beautiful, and meaningful ketubah signing and wedding ceremony that we will never forget. She was incredibly inclusive and made extra time before the wedding to get the pronunciation right for our family member's names. She also made a point to incorporate multicultural elements to acknowledge both of our backgrounds, and she added in new traditions that we loved (like intertwining our teacups to drink our kiddush wine). Last, but certainly not least, she contributed her beautiful singing voice to the program, which really brought our ceremony together. We are so grateful that Cantor Caron was such an important part of our wedding.

Thank you so much for this amazing review, Julia. It was such an honor to perform your Jewish and final (lol) marriage ceremony. I wish you so much happiness and hope our paths will cross again.
Cantor Caron was a fantastic choice for my and my partner's interfaith ceremony. She put in a lot of effort throughout the entire process to be inclusive of my Chinese heritage. Even though we ultimately had a Jewish wedding ceremony and ketubah signing, Cantor Caron managed to incorporate many nods to my culture that resulted in a unique and meaningful experience. I cannot be happier to have had Cantor Caron be our officiant.

Thank you SO much for your very meaningful words, Jude. It was such an honor to perform your marriage. I wish you both the very best life has to offer and hope our paths cross again before long.
Where do we begin! It was an absolute pleasure working with Caron. My husband is Jewish and I’m Christian, and it was very important to us to have an interfaith ceremony— to respect, honor, and include both of our families and their respective traditions. After reading Caron’s raving reviews, we felt confident she would be a good fit to co-officiate with my Pastor— and wow did she exceed all of our expectations. She is warm and welcome, personable and professional, and she truly cares about her clients and the ceremony she crafts for them. We were absolutely blown away with how beautiful our service turned out, including Caron’s beautiful voice! It was evident how much time, energy, and effort was invested to make it so unique and so meaningful to us, and we are forever grateful for that. We are just so impressed with Caron and wish everyone could have the wonderful experience we did! Several of our family members and friends shared that our ceremony was “the best they’ve ever witnessed”- and we agree!

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing review Haley. I was honored to be with you and Jeff on your special day!
Any questions?
As the officiant at our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding, Cantor Caron created a thoughtful and well-planned event, weaving music, Jewish traditions and laughter into a beautiful ceremony. From the signing of the ketubah to standing under the chuppah, Caron established the joyous mood for the day giving family and friends an emotional and meaningful experience. Many thanks to Cantor Caron and we wholeheartedly recommend her.
Watching Cantor Caron do her officiating thing was something to behold. She clearly took time to get to know the couple. She took this solemn time and injected humor just when needed. And her singing with the guitar added a lovely element to the ceremony. I love that she included all of us in special ways. It was a unique and warm experience for everyone, especially the bride and groom.

Thanks for your warm words. I'm so glad you enjoyed the ceremony.
I have been to a couple of weddings at which Cantor Caron officiated. She spends time getting to know the participants and makes a great effort to personalize the event for them. Cantor Caron couples the right amount of fun with the seriousness of the event. The result is a ceremony that is memorable for participants and guests.

Thanks so much for your warm comments. I hope to see you at more simchas!
We can’t say enough amazing things about Caron!! Caron was flexible enough to legally marry us a week before our actual ceremony, which gave us the opportunity to meet with her early and spend a nice afternoon getting to know each other. The wedding ceremony itself went off without a hitch. Caron made the event very unique and personal, and even got the guests involved. Caron maintained a great balance of traditional and contemporary, giving our wedding the best of both worlds (and her singing voice is out of this world!). She also worked seamlessly with our other vendors to help make sure everything went smoothly. We highly recommend Caron for your next big event!

Thank you so much Melissa. It was an honor and a joy to officiate your marriage. You make a wonderful couple. Best of health and happiness in the years to come.
I highly recommend Cantor Caron to officiate. Caron brought such warmth and compassion to our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding. She made the extra effort and truly got to know our families. The ceremony seemed so personalized even inviting the couple’s dog, Milton up under the Chuppa to participate in the ceremony! That made it so memorable! Her guitar and singing were beautiful also, adding to the special day.

Thank you so much for your warm words Abby. It was joy to get to know your family and celebrate this simcha together. Best wishes to you all.
Caron was amazing and such a special part of our day. Caron made it so special, incorporating personal touches by capturing our story and expressing it so eloquently to our guests. Her voice is beautiful and so many people commented during the evening on how great she was and how touching the ceremony was. Not only was the ceremony beautiful, but she also was a calming force on such a busy day! She was commanding, and it made my husband and I feel that we were in great hands. I would highly recommend her for your Jewish wedding!

Wow Brooke, thank you so much for sharing these amazing. It was such an honor and privilege to perform your marriage. Thank you so much for asking me. Warmest wishes for a lifetime of blessings large and small everyday.
Cantor Caron officiated our daughter's wedding last weekend. It was one of the most beautiful wedding ceremonies we have ever experienced. We had many of our guests come up to us and compliment Cantor Caron on how personal she made the ceremony, her sense of humor, and the beautiful song she performed. We can't thank Cantor Caron enough for making the wedding ceremony so special for all of us!

It was such a privilege to perform your daughter's marriage Joyce and to meet all of you. Thank you for sharing these meaningful thoughts. I wish you all the best of blessings now and always.
We’re so grateful that we had Caron as our wedding officiant! Throughout the planning process, Caron helped us to understand the Jewish wedding traditions and select the elements that were most meaningful to us. In addition to in-person meetings, Caron was in touch regularly by email and very responsive when we needed guidance on the text for our ketubah.
On the day of our wedding, Caron brought a vibrant, warm energy to the day’s events. She rallied our family members for the ketubah signing first, and then led us into the ceremony. The ceremony was so beautiful— Caron sang and played guitar, and she expertly made it both fun and heartfelt! She set the perfect, celebratory tone for the day, and we heard from family and friends about how wonderful the ceremony was. We can’t thank Caron enough and highly recommend her!

Thank you so much for your generous words Carrie. It was an honor and a pleasure to officiate your and Adam's marriage. I look forward to hearing great things about your family in the years ahead.
Caron Dale provided a warm, loving, personal ceremony for the recent wedding of our son and his new wife. Her lovely voice and caring attention to detail added measurably to the beauty of the ceremony. And she involved the wedding guests in a way that made everyone feel part of the special day. We would recommend her without hesitation!

Thank you so much for your kind words Bonnie. I was thrilled to share this day with your family.
Cantor Caron was great!
From the rehearsal to the wedding, her positive demeanor just made everyone feel good. Her ceremony suggestions were awesome, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. I would totally recommend her.

Thanks for your wonderful words Ronny. It was my honor and privilege to perform your marriage.
I had the absolute pleasure of being part of a beautiful wedding ceremony! Cantor Caron was warm, personable, knowledgeable, fun, caring and did an amazing job! She explained all the traditions to all the guests, there were tears, laughs, and it was such a wonderful wedding ceremony! Maybe I'll get married again so Cantor Caron can officiate for me! It was THAT special!
Thank you!

Thanks so much Tina. You were such a special part of that day. It was great meeting you.
Cantor Caron led a Havdalah ceremony incorporating several Jewish wedding traditions at the beginning of the reception following our Catholic wedding. From the moment that my husband first talked to Caron - at a time of last minute planning and a lot of anxiety about how we could meaningfully incorporate his traditions into our wedding - we felt like everything was going to be okay and that she was the absolute perfect person for this role. In addition to personalizing the service in ways that were incredibly meaningful to both of our families, she was also great at leading the service itself. She was warm, personable, and extremely engaging. Most of my relatives are Catholic and had seen or heard of anything like this before, but she got everyone participating enthusiastically. All night, my relatives were coming up to me and telling me how beautiful and unique it had been. Everyone absolutely loved it. I couldn't recommend her more.

Thank you so much for your kind words Katy. It was such a pleasure celebrating with your families in such a special ways. Best wishes for a lifetime of good health, happiness and love.
Caron has our unreserved recommendation as an amazing wedding officiant. She is organized, insightful and a very sensitive listener. She helped us plan our ceremony to bring out the themes and tone that were most meaningful to us, and everything went smoothly. Caron has a deep musical background and familiarity with traditional and innovative liturgies. She also has years of experience leading musical performances, simchas and religious services. This means that she can help each couple create a very personal celebration that expresses their own unique feelings and values. Caron is also very respectful of all the different forms that family configurations and belief systems can take. She really helps bring out the meaning and beauty of the commitment that two people are making together.

Thank you so much for your glowing review Jenny. It was such an honor for me to officiate your marriage.
I was a guest at a lovely and intimate wedding where Caron officiated. She helped everyone feel part of the wedding and explained all unique aspects of the ceremony. With her guitar, lovely voice and upbeat manner, we all laughed, cried and celebrated the happy event! Caron is a treasure.

Thank you so much for your kind words Kathryn. It was a privilege to officiate that wedding.
Caron led a beautiful service for a very emotionally difficult wedding. She led the ceremony so that all the participants, while perhaps sad, were able to experience the joy and happiness surrounding the wedding couple.
Response from the Vendor on 10/31/2018
Thank you for your kind words Georgia. It was indeed a wedding filled with so many mixed emotions. Navigating them was an honor.
As the parent for my son’s recent wedding, Caron was an exceptional officiant. I can’t say enough about how she transformed the wedding into a warm and intimate ceremony. I’ve received numerous comments from family and friends who were guests at the wedding and all were positive. In particular, she explained the ceremony and ketubah so that all guests - Jewish and non- were able to understand it completely. She had frequent meetings with my son and his then-fiance to discuss the nature of their upcoming wedding and what they would like included. Last, she has a beautiful voice and incorporated music into the ceremony in a unique way. I give Caron Dale my highest recommendation as a wedding officiant.

may you continue to enjoy great nachus from them.
‘The best wedding ever!” We heard this from several of our wedding experienced guests young and old. Caron and our son and daughter-in-law met and constructed a ceremony tailored to them and it showed. Caron’s desire to know the couple, her energy and enthusiasm , and the meaningful explanation about the wedding all contributed to its success. I give Caron the highest possible recommendation and continue to appreciate her creating such a warm and joyful wedding for us all.

Thank you so much for your warm words Steve. It was an incredible privilege for me perform their marriage. May they know only the best life has to offer and may you continue to enjoy great nachus from them.
My husband and I are so grateful to Caron for helping us to make our wedding ceremony so personal and full of positivity and love. We have heard time and time again how much our guests enjoyed our ceremony and how impressed they were with how Caron was able to infuse so much about us as individuals and a couple into the ceremony. It was truly a joyous occasion and we cannot thank Caron enough for helping make our dream ceremony a reality.

Thank you so much for your kind words Arielle. It was such an honor for me to officiate your marriage. May you know only the best life has to offer you both.
My wife and I did not have a Jewish wedding, but it was important to us for my Jewish identity to be represented. Cantor Caron planned and led a wonderful Havdalah service before the reception that tied together the end of Shabbat and beginning of the marriage beautifully, including the chuppah and breaking a glass.
At the end, when some guests weren't sure exactly how to do the horah, Caron took over and helped lead that, too! All night, Jewish and non-Jewish guests approached me to tell me how much they loved the service.
I can't recommend Caron enough!

Thank you so much for those incredible words Kevin. You challenged me with your goals and together we created something truly special. May your both only know the best life has to offer.
Caron is incredible! As an officiant and cantor, she is everything you could want. The first thing she did was sit down with me and my bride to understand exactly what we wanted, while offering many great suggestions for parts of the ceremony that could include our family members and close friends. In the end, we got the perfect ceremony -- just the right combination of Jewish traditions, levity and inclusion. So many of my friends have come up to me since the wedding to tell me how much they loved the ceremony, and what an incredible officiant Caron is!

Thank you so much for your glowing words Jonathan. It was such an honor for me to officiate your marriage. Wishing you both only the best life has to offer.
Our wedding ceremony was meaningful and beautiful because of Caron’s warm and loving demeanor. She not only created an atmosphere that made all of our guests both Jewish and non-Jewish feel included, but used her knowledge of us as a couple to make the ceremony personal and spiritual. We are so grateful to look back at pictures and know we were married by someone who truly loves love.

Thank you so much for your warm words Lauren. They mean a lot to me. It was such an honor to perform your and Jeremy's marriage. I wish you and your growing family only the best life has to offer.
Where to start?! Caron made the ceremony! She was funny, energetic, sincere and I knew the whole time we were in good hands with her. From the beginning Caron sat down with my husband and I to discuss all the details and I had no idea what to ask or expect. She walked us through every possibility and put all of my worries at ease. She made sure all of the important people had a role in the ceremony (she's good at finding something for everyone to do!). She was always listening to our concerns and had a solution for everything. Caron made it so easy and I felt so confident the day of the wedding. I honestly don't know what we would have done without her. Did I mention she can sing and play guitar too?! She is, hands down, the best wedding officiate there is.

Thank you so much Kristin. It was an honor and a complete pleasure to perform your ceremony. Warmest wishes for a lifetime together of great joy, health and love.
Caron was warm and welcoming to both families and our friends and led a beautiful service. She took the time to get to know the wedding couple and listened to their thoughts about and desires for the ceremony. We would recommend her as an officiant without hesitation. Added benefits are her professionalism, great sense of humor, and wonderful voice!

Thank you for giving me this wondrous opportunity to perform your daughter and son-in-law's marriage. May you schep nachus from them and your grandchildren always.
We struggled to find a way to include Jewish elements in our son and new daughter-in-law's recent Catholic wedding ceremony. Since the wedding was on a Saturday afternoon a friend suggested we hold a Havdalah service at the start of the reception later that evening. Cantor Caron conducted a BEAUTIFUL Havdalah service as well as incorporated Jewish traditions like standing under a chuppah and breaking a glass at the start of the reception. Caron's joyful spirit and beautiful voice and music filled the room and drew everyone from both families into the experience. We could not have been more thrilled! Thank you so much, Caron!!

Cantor Caron is amazing! She co-officiated my wedding with a Methodist Minister from South Africa. The best way to characterize Caron is soulful. Her spirit is loving and vibrant, her instruction caring and loving and her ceremonies are inspiring.
The fact that she has a voice from God means that you simply can not imagine a wedding more beautiful than one officiated by Cantor Caron.

Your and Rick's wedding was one of the most unusual ones I've performed, and I just loved doing it. It was an honor and a pleasure to be such a special part of your wedding day. Wishing you and your family only the best life has to offer.
Working with Caron was an absolute pleasure. She made what is usually a stressful time, much less stressful! She made easy work incorporating all our wishes for a Jewish wedding for an interfaith couple and making the ceremony uniquely ours. She captured our personalities in the ceremony and there were a lot of laughs while under the huppah, just as we wanted! I cannot recommend her enough.
