“Jennifer was wonderful to work with. She was very easy to contact and quickly answered any and all questions. Rehearsal went by so smooth and made sure to allievate any concerns and nerves- everyone knew what to do, when to do it, and how. The ceremony itself was more than what we could have hoped for. Jennifer kept it upbeat, loving, emotional, and just FUN! We were involved in the writing process so the ceremony was personal and full of meaning but kept a lot of surprises for us. I cannot recommend Jennifer enough!!!”

I assist in crafting a creative, Jewish wedding ceremony that reflects who you are as a couple. I work with partners that are Jewish, interfaith, and LGBTQ+. I help couples honor their connection to Judaism and show them how to incorporate that respect into their wedding ceremony...in a way that is comfortable for them.

“Rabbi Dina was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding ceremony. From our first conversation, Reb Dina was incredibly responsive, communicative, and friendly. We wanted elements of a traditional Jewish wedding ceremony without being overly religious and she took the time to understand our vision and tailored the ceremony to be truly special and personal for us. We received so many compliments from our guests on how special and full of love the ceremony was and what a wonderful job Reb Dina did. She was a delight to work with and really allowed us to customize the ceremony to be exactly what we were looking for. We highly recommend Reb Dina and her team for any couple looking for a flexible, personalized, and unforgettable wedding officiant!”

“Choosing Bishop Weddings was one of the best decisions we made when wedding planning. My husband and I had a destination wedding, so we needed a mini legal ceremony in the US first. Our officiant, Ashton, guided us through the legalities and made sure all necessary paperwork was completed quickly and accurately. We chose the Sign and Go package, and Ashton made our home ceremony feel incredibly meaningful. His attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond is what set Bishop Weddings apart. If you're looking for a wedding officiant who not only understands legal intricacies but also brings a genuine sense of warmth and personalization to your ceremony, look no further than Bishop Weddings.
