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

    While I had no connection with Rabbi Jeffrey Astrachan before the counseling/wedding planning process, I will now consider him family for life. From our first Zoom meeting together, he made my husband and I feel very comfortable and helped us navigate through the entire process. Though living far away, he was always just a text or email away and answered all our questions. He provided lots of options for customizing our ceremony with regard to the level of religiousness and incorporation of family traditions, and ensured smooth flow throughout the ceremony. He recommended a great ketubah website and also reviewed it for the English and Hebrew portions. He made a point to get to know us throughout the process and used that information to personalize his remarks. We had a large variation in the type of guests, ranging from non-Jews with very little religious exposure to a couple of guests much more observant, and all enjoyed the ceremony and Rabbi and appreciated the explanations he provided, as well as the personal touches he added. 100,000% would recommend to anybody looking for a Jewish or interfaith ceremony. Even if you've never met him before, you can feel at ease with Rabbi Jeffrey Astrachan, who will ensure you have a memorable and meaningful wedding.

    Since our wedding day, we have not stopped talking about how much we loved the ceremony that Jeff put together for us. It was beautiful, personal, and better than we could have ever imagined it being. Jeff was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process and tailored the ceremony to exactly what we requested. I am nonbinary, so finding an officiant who was accepting was one of the most important things on my list. My partner and I were able to breathe a sigh of relief almost immediately after our first meeting with Jeff. We could not have found a more perfect person to officiate our wedding. Thank you so much for everything!

    It was a genuine privilege to celebrate your wedding with you, and to help you walk this path. Thank you for trusting me and including me in your celebration. I'm just glad the alligator lurking behind me stayed in his place! I especially appreciated being witness to you opening your special wedding-day Pokémon cards (sorry you didn't get any good ones), and sharing your delicious cake!

  • A great experience!

    Rabbi Astrachan was an absolute pleasure to work with from the very first meeting. Rabbi insisted that we have several meetings prior to the wedding so he could really know and understand us. By doing this, he made the wedding very personable and enjoyable to our guests and us. We received so many compliments of how amazing the ceremony was. It was truly unforgettable and the best part of our wedding!! Additionally, Rabbi Astrachan made us feel very comfortable as a same-sex couple and inter-religious couple. In addition to the wedding, Rabbi went above and beyond and wrote a very personable and thorough letter to the embassy to assist with my husband's green card and visa process. We will always hold Rabbi Astrachan deep in our hearts.

    Rabbi Astrachan made our interfaith LGBTQ wedding ceremony such a profoundly memorable experience and I’m struggling to find the right words to make sure this review is written in a way that showcases how much it means to us. From our first virtual Zoom meeting to the goodbyes after the ceremony, it was evident that Rabbi Astrachan cared about us as a couple and making our ceremony meaningful, and his constant smile and calmness really made the entire process amazing. Between the meetings, the homework, and the help with making sure we had all the right ritual items, Rabbi Astrachan was always a text, email, or phone/Zoom call away to help us make the ceremony unique for us as a couple. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would! Thank you, Rabbi, for making our day so memorable, meaningful, and full of smiles and love. We will remember it for the rest of our lives!
