Best Ceremony Ever!!!

Rabbi Linda is the absolute best. Stop your search for an officiant now and book Rabbi Linda. We postponed our wedding 1 year with covid, and she was by our side every step of the way. Rabbi Linda is extremely organized, responsive, kind-hearted, and wise. We had a mixed ceremony blending Jewish and Catholic faiths. Rabbi Linda had done this many times before and has the perfect ceremony outline for it and will give you a recommendation for an amazing Catholic deacon as well. It was seamless. We got so many compliments on how the two cultures blended so beautifully. Further, she made the ceremony personable by adding in our story about how we met and how our personalities and values blend- and she did it with such good storytelling and humor it was a nice moment for the audience to have a break from crying and chance to laugh. And it is not just at the ceremony but every step of the way leading up the ceremony. Rabbi Linda made our ketubah process seamless, recommending an amazing ketubah company and performing a beautiful ketubah ceremony as well and writing out the Hebrew so beautifully for us. Thank you, Rabbi Linda!!

Wonderful rabbi linda goldberg

It was such an honor to have Rabbi Goldberg officiate our wedding. From our first meeting to the wedding ceremony and everything in between, she was caring, kind, thoughtful and patient.
We enjoyed every moment under the Chuppah and will forever be grateful. She is a winner!

Personalized and heart warming experience

Our time with Rabbi Linda truly exceeded our expectations. From our very first meeting we knew we made the right choice. Rabbi Linda took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple. She explained Jewish traditions and allowed us to pick and explore new elements to make the ceremony our own! Rabbi Linda was very helpful with guidance for our ketubah, reviewing our vows and making sure all of our guests (from a Jewish background and not) could experience each moment in a thoughtful way. Rabbi Linda made many suggestions for ways to honor my non-Jewish family as well. If you are looking for someone you can fully trust with the most important part of your wedding day you have found the right person! Rabbi Linda will narrate your beautiful love story and curate a ceremony that is uniquely yours. Our guests are still talking about our ceremony. We hope our paths cross again!
With love,
Olivia and Adam
