Wedding Officiant Sara Shendelman

We found Rabbi Shendelman to be thoughtful, insightful, and perfect for our interfaith marriage.

My husband and I were absolutely thrilled with Rabi Sara's ceremony. It was all so amazing and we loved every part of it so much. Everyone has been saying how amazing the ceremony was and informative for those that hadn’t been to a Jewish wedding before. One of my friends was evening asking if she could have a Jewish wedding without being Jewish!!

Working with Sara was such a pleasure and in the short amount of time we spent with her we really felt that she got to know us and reflected this in the ceremony. We absolutely loved all her anecdotes about the traditions. It made it such a fun and loving ceremony.

Can't recommend her highly enough.

Rabbi Sara made our wedding so special! Everyone says to this day, that it was the best wedding they had ever attended, and I think a big part of that was the energy that Sara created around both us, and our network of family and friends in attendance. She really involved them in the process, which made them feel an authentic and deep sense of connection to the entire experience.

Thank you, Rabbi Sara for creating a day that will live in the hearts and minds of not only us, but our loved ones too!

My husband and I were so thrilled to have met Sara. She is a spiritual and intelligent, insightful officiant and was easy to communicate with. Sara establishes a personal relationship with her couples, prior to marriage. On the wedding day, we felt as if a friend were marrying us -- it felt very personal. Sara has a beautiful voice -- she chants in both English/hebrew, depending upon the couple's choice. The relationship we built with Sara will last a lifetime!

If you have come to know Sara, you have come to know her for a reason. She is not for the fainthearted. She is not for the "there is a pink elephant in my livingroom and no one is going to admit it" type. If you found Sara, it is because you are seeking the truth. If you don't like the truth of the message. don't blame Sara. Instead, look deep within your self. Ask for help, if needed.You probably know the answer already. So, stop with the drama and ask yourself..what is it I really want? What is REALLY bothering me? What do I need to do to be happy? When you start to ask yourself these questions, you will find the energy around you start to change. Go with it...discover...the answer lies within you. Trust in yourself.

R Sara Shendelman is a remarkable and spiritual person. She made our friends and family laugh, she made them cry, she made them think, and she made them learn, and in the end she got us married :) She helped and supported us every step of the way and provided the anchor of calmness in the midst of a busy and eventful day. We are forever grateful!

Rabbi Sara was a life blessing for us!! She made our marriage ceremony a magical, spiritual experience. We continue to express our gratitude for her unique gifts, knowledge and incredible soul. It is our delight to attempt to put into words how wonderful she is!! She continues to make an incredible contribution to our lives in her advice, insights and friendship. Rabbi Sara is a life treasure.

Rabbi Sara not only gave a heartfelt and enjoyable ceremony, but she provided a much needed head leveling when my maid of honor did not show up on time. My fiance and I were unsure of where to begin looking for our vows and ceremonial scripture and she coached us gently and professionally in the right direction. We were very satisfied with how beautiful the ceremony was.

Rabbi Sara, all I can say is that she is one of a kind. She made our wedding very special. Rabbi Sara did an excellent job of incorporating Jewish culture into our wedding. It was very heartfelt and meaningful. She is obviously a very learned Rabbi, however; she knew when to bring humor to the ceremony. Most importantly, she incorporated everyone in to the ceremony. She made sure everyone was involved, even those with non-speaking parts. She also made sure that everyone knew what was going on by providing explanations throughout the ceremony. Her focus was always on the bride and groom; checking in on us constantly.

I highly recommend her. She is very special and will make your ceremony just as special. She is the best!

We are absolutely in wedded bliss! Getting married is by far the best thing we've ever done ;) And so much thanks goes to Rabbi Sara - she made the ceremony, and the day, just perfect for us. The moments we spent together, both before and after the wedding... we can't thank her enough.

She is an amazing woman with such a huge and open heart - we both learned a lot just from spending time with her. We're so grateful she could marry us

Rabbi Sara Shendelman has performed several beautiful services for my wedding clients. She was very thorough and conscientious with each client, helping them to create a unique and heartfelt ceremony that truly represented their vision for their marriage and their wedding day. Rabbi Sara's intelligence, oratory mastery, and her ability to connect on a deep level with each couple resulted in wedding ceremonies that touched everyone who attended. One of my couples even returned the area to renew their vows with her on their first anniversary.

Rabbi Sara is a comforting emotional support for those planning their wedding from afar. They will feel they have roots here once they connect with Rabbi Sara!

Rabbi Sara Shendelman created an exquisite, personal, meaningful and moving ceremony. We truly felt blessed on our wedding day. Every single person in attendance really loved the service! One couple told us they wanted to be married again by her! She has such a dynamic spirit, a gorgeous singing voice and a spiritual wisdom that shines so brightly!

Our wedding and ceremony were more spectacular than we could have ever dreamed. We are endlessly grateful to Sara for generously sharing her gifts of talent, spirit and beauty with us and our guests.

I've had the pleasure of photographing three wedding alongside of Rabbi Shendelman officiating and I'm just such a fan!
She infuses a sense of stillness, depth and meaning that is typically lost on most wedding days. In fact, if I'm ever lucky enough to be married again, I'm calling Rabbi Shendelman! She comes highly recommended!
