Cantor Neil was incredibly organized and thoughtful throughout the entire process. He carefully helped us structure and format the wedding ceremony exactly the way we envisioned, creating something that truly honored both of our families. Rabbi Gettman was kind, supportive, and wonderful to work with leading up to the big day. We felt so grateful to have him officiate and make everything official—we couldn’t have asked for better guidance and care.

Rabbi Mark was so professional and absolutely wonderful to work with! He stepped in when our original rabbi unfortunately wasn’t able to perform our ceremony due to a medical emergency, and we are so grateful that he did. From start to finish, he walked us through everything and made the entire process so easy and stress-free. He sent us a rough draft of the ceremony, listened to what we wanted, and made sure every detail was written perfectly and exactly how we envisioned it. He was absolutely AMAZING, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to officiate our wedding! We are so grateful for everything he did and would highly recommend him to any couple looking for a wonderful rabbi! ❤️

iew. I know how stressful it can be when unexpected changes happen right before your wedding day, so being able to step in, give you peace of mind, and help bring your vision to life meant the world to me.

d in translation into Spanish for the wedding guests. His Operations Manager was consistently setting up zoom meetings for the preparations which were ongoing and detailed and thorough. Rabbi Mark is personable, entertaining, interesting, willing to travel to accomodate the wedding party, considerate of the couple's vision and wishes and informative on all Judaic matters. He helped them order the various items for the ceremony and advised them how to organize everything for the big day. We highly recommend him and hope to engage him for future happy occasions for our family.

fficiating your son and daughter-in-law's wedding was an absolute honor. Working alongside the minister to blend both traditions—and ensuring the ceremony spoke to all guests in both English and Spanish—was a truly special experience. My Operations Manager and I always strive to make the preparation process as organized, supportive, and stress-free as possible, so hearing that it made a difference means the world to our team. It was a joy to be part of such a sacred milestone for your family, and I would be thrilled to celebrate future happy occasions and simchas with you all. Wishing the newlyweds a lifetime of health, joy, and deep love! Warmest regards, Rabbi Mark Getman

Rabbi Mark Getman was everything we could have ever imagined in a wedding officiant — and more. My wife is Jewish and I’m not, and from the very beginning Mark made our interfaith ...

marriage feel warm, meaningful, inclusive, and deeply personal. He struck the perfect balance between honoring Jewish tradition and making the ceremony accessible and comfortable for everyone in the room. Mark is incredibly warm, personable, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in the people he works with. Our wedding ceremony felt authentic, joyful, and memorable because of him. If we could give him 10 stars, we absolutely would. Since our wedding, we’ve continued to involve Mark in our family’s life, including Hebrew naming ceremonies, and we look forward to having him involved in every meaningful milestone where it makes sense. He’s not just an officiant — he’s someone you genuinely want as part of your family’s story. We cannot recommend Rabbi Getman highly enough.

with you under the Chuppah and help blend your traditions into a ceremony that felt uniquely 'you.' What brings me the most joy, however, is that our journey didn't end at the wedding. Being invited back for your family's Hebrew naming ceremonies has been a true highlight for me. I am so grateful to be a small part of your family’s story and look forward to celebrating many more milestones with you all.
