About Rabbi Yael Ridberg

Rabbi Yael Ridberg

It's a great privilege and pleasure to celebrate each couple's unique love story and relationship with a wedding ceremony that is personal yet traditional, always warm and inclusive. I have been working with couples for 30 years, and I love every part of the process - from the psycho-spiritual conversations before the ceremony, to the sacred experience of standing beneath the wedding canopy. I strive to weave together each partner's narrative with the Jewish rituals that sanctify a relationship in ways that reflect each couple's shared values and connections.

I work hard to make Jewish practice and connections accessible and meaningful to every couple. Having served Jewish communities as a pulpit rabbi, a teacher, and and advocate for social justice and interfaith understanding, I offer an open-minded and deeply respectful perspective, ensuring your ceremony is infused with warmth, relevance, and genuine celebration.

In three words: Calm, Empathetic, Positive

    Rabbi Ridberg officiated our modern, mostly secular interfaith wedding, and we could not have asked for a better experience. She took the time to understand who we are as a couple and crafted a ceremony that felt authentic, inclusive, and deeply personal. Her ability to blend tradition with a contemporary approach made every part of the service feel meaningful without ever feeling formal or restrictive. She was organized, thoughtful, and incredibly warm throughout the entire process. Our families—from different religious and cultural backgrounds—felt respected and included, and many guests told us afterward how beautiful and intentional the ceremony was. We are grateful for her guidance and presence on our wedding day and highly recommend Rabbi Ridberg to any couple looking for an officiant who is compassionate, adaptable, and genuinely invested in making the ceremony reflect your values.

    Rabbi Yael didn’t just officiate our wedding—she elevated it. She took the time to know us so well that it felt like a close friend was guiding us through the ceremony. Her communication was flawless, her attention to detail exact, and her personal touches added real magic. With warmth, humor, and effortless confidence, she walked us through every moment of the Jewish ceremony and made us feel completely at ease. If you want an officiant who is caring, inclusive, and genuinely unforgettable—especially for interfaith weddings—Rabbi Yael is the one. She’ll make your day not just beautiful, but truly yours.
