We were so fortunate and honored to have Rabbi Jill officiate our wedding in April 2018. My husband and I are an interfaith and mixed-race couple – while my husband wanted to have ...two officiants, I was set on just one that would entwine both our faith, culture and personalities.
Our search proved to be short because the moment we meet her we knew she was the perfect person to marry us. It was such an ease revealing details to her about how we meet, our families, and what we wanted for both our ceremony and future together.
She engaged us to speak about the other, an exercise I very much appreciated, because it led my husband and I to reveal some of the wonderful unsaid things we feel and admire about the other, and why we choose to take this monumental step in our relationship.
The warmth she’s shown to us as both a couple and individuals during our meetings and on the day of our wedding was so genuine. Both guests and staff at our wedding raved about how kind she was and what a lovely singing voice she has – even though on our wedding day she was a bit under the weather and told us her voice would not be all too great.
Planning the details of ceremony with her to the actual day of our wedding, from our Ketubah signing to our planting unity ceremony (we got married on Earth Day, of course we had to plant a tree for our home) was an ease and absolutely AMAZING.
We couldn’t have asked for a more PERFECT day or anyone more suited than Rabbi Jill to conduct this beautiful step in our journey as a couple. Most recently we had a small intimate blessing with her and as always, she was such a DELIGHT.
We look forward to including her in the next step of our journey when the time comes. She has become a part of our family and the lasting memories of some very special moments in our lives, and we would highly recommend her to any couple.
