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 n...
ever 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.
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. Ev...
en 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.
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 respec...
t, 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!

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.
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 ear...
ly 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!

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!

hat 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!
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 husba...
nd 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.
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.

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 re...
ceived 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.
‘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 t...

he 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!
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, w...

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 hus...
band 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.
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 ...

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.
