Life's Rhythms

My husband and I used this company, and Cantor Nancy Ginsberg for our wedding this summer. At first, Cantor Ginsberg appeared very eager and excited to co-officiate our wedding and meet with us to plan our ceremony, prepare as a couple, and provide us with support. After signing the contract she set up three appointments for us to meet at her home. She stood us up for two out of three appointments and was not at her home when we arrived. She had forgotten about both appointments. During the year of planning, Cantor Ginsberg helped us to design our ceremony and reassured us that the ceremony would run without a glitch. We had asked her to meet with the other officiant to touch base, but neither of them felt it was necessary, as she was the leader of the ceremony, and they had worked together before. She also refused to attend our rehearsal because she did not want to take away from her family time. Following numerous times of her reassuring us that all details were in order, and making me feel overly concerned, on our wedding day, she forgot about our unity candle lighting and a reading that was in our ceremony notes, and also in our program. My husband and I had to stop her twice during our wedding ceremony to remind her about her mistakes. It was a very choppy ceremony because of this. She also sang a Broadway showtune in the middle of our ceremony that was never discussed with us beforehand. For a six o'clock ceremony we asked that she arrive at our venue at 5 for the ketubah signing and to meet with the other officiant. She responded that she would try her best, but that she had recently gotten a new job and wasn't sure if she could sneak out early. We had signed a contract a year prior. If you are looking for someone flexible and unbiased, please look somewhere else. Often times she was unprofessional in her conversations and was condescending. She has a very strong personality and at times can come across very rude. For example, having never met my parents before, she entered into my bridal suite on the wedding day and without introducing herself began arguing with my mom about how the table in the suite was not up to her standards for signing the ketubah. We called her the day after our wedding to discuss our concerns and disappointment with her services. She didn't take responsibility for her mistakes, was unapologetic, and did not right the situation with a refund. Her only explanation for her poor performance was "I'm human, and it's been a tough year for me." Please, please look somewhere else for an officant for your wedding. This choice was our only regret for our special day.

Cantor Ginsberg did such an amazing job at our wedding ceremony. She spoke eloquently and beautifully. She preformed the ceremony just the way we had imagined. Her words were as beautiful as her singing voice. I had people telling me the entire following week how much they enjoyed the ceremony portion of the wedding and the things that Cantor Ginsberg spoke about. She truly understood what we were looking for and it was PERFECT!!

Cantor Nancy Ginsberg provided us with a beautiful ceremony. Our guests are still raving about it. We were able to incorporate traditions from both my husband's and I religion, Jewish and Methodist.

Cantor Nancy was amazing, and without her, our ceremony would have been a disaster. My husband is Catholic, and I am Jewish so we decided to have an interfaith wedding. Unfortunately, the priest we got did not know us at all and completely messed up his parts in the ceremony. Thanks to Cantor Nancy our ceremony was still beautiful and meaningful. She also has an amazing singing voice! We had met with her several times over the past number of months, and we felt really comfortable with her. You could tell during the ceremony she really knew us and our personalities. We got so many compliments from our friends and family at the wedding who absolutely loved her too.

Cantor Nancy was the great officiant for our jewish/catholic wedding. So much so that wedding attendees asked for her contact information for vow renewal ceremonies. She was great at explaining what was going on so evryone felt included even in teh parts that were not familiar to some.

Nancy was wonderful! We feel so fortunate to have found her and she performed a beautiful ceremony. We met with her twice before our wedding and she guided us through the different parts and aspects of a Jewish wedding. Her voice and delivery was very beautiful and clear and our guests raved about our ceremony. It was very moving.

Cantor Nancy really helped to make our wedding special. We had an interfaith marriage (Methodist and Jewish) and she met with us several times before our wedding to answer all of our questions and calm any anxieties we had. She and the pastor who co-officiated our ceremony worked seamlessly together. Her lovely voice added to the beauty and serenity of our ceremony.

Nancy was great. She made herself available to us throughout the planning process. She did through in a few surprises (all good) during the ceremony. Be prepared!

Cantor Nancy was a pleasure to deal with. She was very warm and friendly. She had a lot of great materials to start building a ceremony that fit our specific needs (inter-faith same-sex couple). She was very flexible in terms of putting the ceremony together, but had certain elements she insisted on, which was valuable. She was a great presence at the ceremony, funny, warm, dramatic, and engaging. She went "off-script" for one portion of the ceremony, but it was beautifully done and added a lot to the experience. We were very happy we chose to work with her and strongly recommend her.

Cantorina Nancy officiated our Purim wedding - fitting for us, and how we know her - she was the Cantor for my Bat Mizvah.

Loved her, loved how personal the ceremony was (everyone was in tears) and loved the continuity of spirital leadership within our family. She took to my now-husband right away, which was important to me.

Perfect officiant for my wedding day and couldn't have imagined it being officiated by anyone else!

Nancy is an incredible Officiant and truly made our wedding special. I couldn't stop crying throughout the entire thing because of the wonderful things she said, which I will remember for the rest of my life. Nancy is an asset to any wedding!

Cantor Ginsberg is an amazing woman to have on your side as you are going through the entire wedding process. She wants to get to know both you and your finance - so she can make your ceremony an event you will truly cherish. Cantor Ginsberg also shares great advice and wants to make sure that you are prepared, not just for the wedding ceremony, but also the new journey you and your beloved are about to embark on. Cantor Ginsberg truly made our wedding both meaningful and personal. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to share one of the most special days of our lives with her.

Cantor Nancy R. Ginsberg was the best officiant we could dream about. She made our wedding ceremony a wonderful, personal, warm and unforgettable experience. I think most of our guests had tears in their eyes after the ceremony so touching it was. Nancy also conducted a pre-marriage counseling which proved to be very interesting and useful for our relationship. We would like to thank Nancy for her professionalism and warmth. We were very luck to have her as our officiant and would most definitely recommend her to our friends who might want to have a Huppa.

Nancy not only married my husband and I but she married my brother, my best friend and did my twin daughters baby naming ceremony. I love Nancy and think she is an amazing cantor! Her voice is fabulous and her ceremony is simply beautiful. I would love to recommend her to anyone that wants a flawless, elegant and personal ceremony. She's the BEST!
