Truly a wonderful Cantor!

If I could leave 100 stars I would. Cantor Stein is absolutely incredible. My husband and I knew we wanted someone to marry us that was warm, friendly, not too serious and brought a positive light to the ceremony. Cantor Stein did that and more. From the moment we met her and every time we left a session, my husband and I turned to each other and beamed at how wonderful she is. Getting to know Cantor Stein, and having her get to know us was a treat. She not only helped us on this journey to get married with all the details of planning the ceremony, but helped us grow as a couple as well. She brought the biggest smiles, laughs, and such joy to our wedding ceremony. It's been 2 weeks since our wedding and everyone cannot stop saying how much they enjoyed our ceremony. We can't wait to work with Cantor Stein again. We are so grateful to have found a wonderful person to marry us, and also a lifelong friend

Thank you Cantor Stein for our Beautiful Interfaith Ceremony

Cantor Stein was incredible. As an Asian American woman who grew up Christian with little exposure to Jewish weddings, Cantor Stein made the process seamless and handled it with grace. We had an interfaith ceremony and Cantor Stein was very respectful to my pastor and blessed us with a beautiful ceremony. She was very gracious explaining Jewish traditions to me so we could decide which elements we wanted to incorporate into the wedding. She also did an excellent job making our guests feel comfortable as well, explaining the traditions as she helped us perform them. I cannot recommend Cantor Stein enough, she brought us closer and blessed us with a sweet and memorable ceremony.

Highly Recommend!

Finding the right officiant for your wedding is crucial. Looking back on my wedding day now, I am so thankful Cantor Stein had my date open. She supports all backgrounds, (my husband is half Jewish) which can be difficult to find. Cantor Stein included sessions to get to know us as a couple and what we wanted from the ceremony. This was helpful for us to cultivate the perfect ceremony and to feel more comfortable. It got us talking as a couple about what we wanted (how religious, what traditions, length, vows, etc). The Cantor even provided us with places to get our Ketubah and proofread it prior to ordering to ensure all was correct for the big day. She always made herself available for questions. She personalized the ceremony and made us feel incredibly comfortable standing and speaking in front of so many people. She has a beautiful singing voice and energy. The ceremony was crafted perfectly to us! I got so many compliments post wedding about the ceremony and the Cantor. Can't recommend her enough! I treasure the video my friend took of our ceremony. I didn't have a videographer, so it was an added bonus and treasure to be able to rewatch!
