Rabbi / Officiant

Modern. Soulful. Unforgettable. I custom-craft non-religious, Jewish, interfaith, and LGBTQ+ weddings that grab all the feels. Your love is one-of-a-kind — and your wedding ceremony should be, too. Blending tradition with a fresh perspective, honoring every story, and presenting warmth, heart, and just the right touch of humor, I strive to create customized wedding ceremonies as unique as you are. Whether you're planning a beach wedding, rooftop celebration, or backyard gathering, I’ll meet you there.

As an experienced officiant who believes in love, inclusion, and making your ceremony the true highlight of your day, I take the time to get to know you—your story, your vibe, your vision. As I compose your ceremony, I start from scratch, taking all I've learned from you and creating a ceremony that honestly reflects who you are and what your love means. Whether Jewish, interfaith, spiritual, or secular, every word is meaningful and every moment is yours. I bring warmth, heart, and just enough humor to keep it real — and unforgettable.

In three words: Organized, Supportive, Thoughtful

    Rabbi Astrachan is amazing!

    We are so grateful that we found Rabbi Astrachan for our wedding. Our ceremony was perfect! Our guests kept commenting on how heartfelt, personalized and special it was. We had an interfaith wedding, and he did an amazing job making every guest feel included and connected throughout the ceremony. He explained the traditions and Hebrew elements in a way that was engaging and easy for everyone to follow. One of the things that stood out most was how naturally he handled unexpected moments. We got married on the rooftop at The Florida Aquarium, and right in the middle of the ceremony the cruise ship horns started blasting and loud music began playing from the ships. Instead of it feeling disruptive, he seamlessly incorporated the moment with humor and grace, and it just blended with the rest of the ceremony. Rabbi Astrachan is not only an incredible officiant, but also a genuinely wonderful person. He made us feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire process, and he played such a huge part in making our wedding day unforgettable. We truly could not have imagined a better person to marry us!

    The Best!

    We had the absolute privilege of having Rabbi Astrachan officiate our wedding, and it’s hard to put into words how meaningful the experience was. From our very first conversation, he brought warmth, wisdom, and a genuine interest in getting to know us as individuals and as a couple. He took the time to understand our story, our values, and what we wanted our ceremony to feel like. The result was something deeply personal, thoughtful, and beautifully balanced between tradition and our own unique touches. So many of our guests told us it was one of the most moving and memorable ceremonies they’ve ever witnessed. His presence was calm and grounding, yet full of heart and even moments of humor that made everything feel natural and joyful. He guided us through the entire process with care and clarity, making what could have felt overwhelming actually feel meaningful and intentional. If you’re looking for an officiant who will truly honor your relationship and create a ceremony that feels authentic and unforgettable, we cannot recommend him highly enough.

    The absolute best!

    My husband and I truly could not have pictured a more perfect officiant for our wedding. Rabbi Astrachan took the time to get to know us personally, which made our ceremony feel uniquely tailored to us. Our guests asked if we had known him our whole lives and are still talking about how beautiful and engaging the ceremony was. He provided the picture mixture of tradition and humor to our entire wedding day. We are so grateful to have had such a thoughtful and genuine person marry us. Truly beyond 5 stars. We very much look forward to staying connected with him for years to come.

    Highly recommend!

    We hired Jeffrey for our wedding in October 2025 and we are so happy we did! He took great care to get to know us and our story and he knew exactly what questions to ask us to guide us through the process of crafting our ceremony. We really appreciate how knowledgable and organized he was; for instance, he made sure we had our vows written a month before the wedding date so there was no last minute stressing over them, and he had them printed on index cards for the ceremony. Throughout the whole six month process, Jeffrey was personable, professional, and thorough. The ceremony was beautiful and exactly how we imagined it. Our guests were very impressed by how personal and sincere it was. My aunt even said she'd love to have Jeffrey for my cousin's wedding next year!

    Best officiant out there

    ExchangingRings.com was an exceptional choice for our wedding officiant. Their communication style was truly above and beyond, as they incorporated pre-ceremony meetings and questionnaires to ensure our ceremony was beautiful and deeply personal. The officiant was better than if we had someone we knew marry us - he took the time to get to know us as a couple and crafted a ceremony that felt tailor-made for our special day. We couldn't have asked for a more professional, caring, and thoughtful officiant to make our marriage official. We had numerous family and friends approach us afterward to tell us how beautiful and personal our ceremony was and where did we find out amazing officiant. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect ceremony. We highly recommend ExchangingRings.com to any couple looking for an officiant who will go the extra mile.
