    Fun and dedicated to the couple's wedding ceremony

    Rabbi Getman has a unique style that makes him entertaining while at the same time dedicated to the preparation of the ceremony incorporating and shaping the couple's visions. He integrates traditional Jewish liturgy with modern vows and verses selected by the couple and makes the ceremony personal to their shared stories of how they met and their shared dreams for their future. He scheduled several meetings with the couple and their families and also reached out to the co-officiating minister to combine the faiths and also to translate the verses into Spanish for the bride's family guests. Notable is that Rabbi Getman has an organizational manager who initiates all correspondence and follows up immediately with zoom meetings, addressing concerns, asking questions and immensely helping the plans to move forward with all parties. This facilitates communication which is very important for maintaining contact when planning a wedding with so many details to consider. We are very happy with our choice of Rabbi Getman and hope to engage him to celebrate future mitzvahs in our lives.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a glowing and thoughtful review! It has been an absolute joy working with your family and the happy couple as we prepare for the big day. Designing a personalized ceremony that honors their unique journey—and collaborating with the co-officiating minister to ensure the Spanish translation warmly includes the bride’s family—has been a wonderful experience. Smooth communication and organization are top priorities for our team, so hearing that our coordination gave your family peace of mind means the world to us. We are so excited for next weekend and can't wait to celebrate with everyone! Wishing the couple and your entire family a lifetime of joy and happiness
