Susan performed my daughter and new son in law’s wedding in a way that made us feel that she had known them their whole lives. She spent time prior to the wedding getting to know the couple and she expertly wove their comments about each other and their families throughout the ceremony. She was not just the officiant – she was a participant in the process and she so beautifully captured and conveyed the very essence of their love for one another and for their families.

…Aside from her professionalism, Susan’s flexibility, warmth, and good humor are the icing on the cake. We cannot imagine a better partner in whom to place our trust for such a momentous event, and would recommend her unequivocally as your wedding officiant.

My now husband and I decided on a Saturday to get married on Monday, two days later. I knew Susan was perfect to officiate as soon as I listened to the lovely voicemail message she left for us. Susan accommodated our request on what was a very busy Monday for her. She was delightful! Very warm, articulate, and calming presence. We highly recommend Susan as a marriage officiant!

Susan officiated our interfaith, same-sex wedding ceremony in upstate New York and I could not have asked for a more positive experience. She is so kind, thoughtful and inclusive. Every Jewish tradition was explained with stories and history. She also did a great job connecting the traditions back to worship of spirit and god, which was really helpful for non-Jewish family to continue connecting with. So many people said that was the most beautiful ceremony they witnessed and half our guests were VIRTUAL! Thank you susan for all you did for us, it means the world to us!

Thank you so much for helping us create the wedding of our dreams! We received many glowing compliments on your ceremony. We were especially touched by how beautifully you wove in our story, the poem, and a hint of Judaism. It really was better than we could have hoped for! Thank you so much for helping to get us off to such a good start!

Hi Susan,
We just wanted to say thank you for performing such a lovely wedding ceremony.
We were really touched by your warmth and sincerity, and how you made the ceremony personal.
Thanks for taking the time to get to know us.
All of our guests told us how beautiful they thought the ceremony was.

Best wishes,
Rosemary and Jeff

Dear Susan,

You gave Matthew and Elizabeth the most beautiful and meaningful ceremony I’ve ever experienced. Your warmth and intimacy provided them both with the perfect way to begin their life together. The way you blended both of their backgrounds while highlighting the generations of similarities that meant so much to both them, and all of us as their parents. You added the bonus of uniting both of our families who love and support them and will continue to do so for as long as we are able.

I can’t express enough how much the ceremony meant to me, because of your incredible sensitivity and making it so personal in choosing the words you did.

Thank you for all the work you put into this especially learning how to perform the hand fasting ceremony! You’ve given me such a wonderful memory to cherish forever.

Susan was an absolute blessing as our Justice of the Peace, and we are beyond grateful for the beautiful ceremony she created for us. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life in a way that felt deeply personal and meaningful. The ceremony, held in the Arnold Arboretum, was everything we hoped for and more.

Susan’s warmth and genuine care shone through in every moment, especially during her reading of a Rumi poem that touched our hearts. Her ability to make the ceremony feel so special and intimate is something we will cherish forever. Our family is still talking about how perfect the day was, thanks to Susan.

Throughout the entire process, she was incredibly responsive and attentive. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day, and having Susan as a part of it was truly a joy. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your special day with the utmost care and professionalism, we wholeheartedly recommend Susan!

Susan is amazing!

Susan was a dream to work with. Upon planning our wedding as an interfaith couple, we were unsure about how we could integrate our different family cultures, religions, and traditions into our wedding ceremony. Susan’s expertise and professionalism helped us to create the perfect ceremony that reflected us as a couple and joined together our families, while valuing everyone’s backgrounds. Something we also appreciated about Susan was her genuine desire to get to know us as a couple. We had several meetings with her before our wedding day, which helped us become comfortable with each other and helped her get to know us better. Susan was also so easy to contact and answered all of our questions with ease. Not only did we love Susan, but our guests gave us so many compliments on the ceremony as well and everyone thought it was beautiful! We could not recommend Susan enough!
