"Cantor Shira spent so much time preparing us for our wedding. We are two women in an interfaith relationship, and Shira introduced me, the non-Jewish partner, to every spiritual aspect of our ceremony, explaining it in layman's terms and also incorporated traditions from my Cuban background seamlessly. She was more than our officiant, she became a mentor and guiding light through the entire wedding process -- she did not hesitate to do a 45 minute call with us just to talk through family stress ahead of the wedding. Words don't do her ceremony justice. It was organized, thoughtful, and just beautiful. I've never been at a wedding where the officiant received raving, unsolicited reviews from such a wide variety of guests. Honored to call her a friend for life."

"Shira is amazing!! She made the whole process so easy, fun, enjoyable, and beautiful. During the craziness of wedding planning, we actually looked forward to our sessions with her. She was also extremely accommodating with our busy wedding planning schedules. She talked us through every step and explained how everything was going to work leading up to, and at the wedding. My fiancé and I have different levels or religion, which was something we were worried about when deciding to have a religious ceremony. Shira tailored our ceremony to the PERFECT amount of religion for us and our families. And we were able to talk through what traditions we wanted and didn’t want to include in our ceremony. After the wedding, our guests were talking about how beautiful our ceremony was, and how amazing Shira and her beautiful voice were!!"

"From day 1, Shira built a relationship with us that absolutely made our wedding ceremony feel personal and unique to us. In fact, we miss her! Shira’s warmth, knowledge and guidance make her an amazing officiant. We are so lucky to have worked with her and consider her a friend. Shira was responsive, supportive and held us accountable in a stress free way leading up to our big day. Wedding planning and prep can be daunting but our experience with Shira was an absolute highlight. Our guests also commented during and after our wedding about how fabulous she was and how inclusive our ceremony was. She is a gem and do not think twice about reaching our to her! We love you Shira!! Hayley and Scott"

Hayley M.

"We really loved working with Shira and appreciated her guidance both before and on the day. The insightful questions from our sessions together before the wedding day and the discussions they sparked are something we’ll definitely continue to come back to. On our wedding day, the weather forecast was uncertain but Shira's energy and reassuring words truly helped keep us at ease and enjoy the moment. We also loved the ketubah signing, which turned out to be one of our favorite parts of the day."

What is the difference between a Cantor and a Rabbi?

A Cantor and a Rabbi are both ordained clergy members with integral roles within Jewish religious life. Both Cantors and Rabbis study through rigorous five year seminary training and have the same core education but each have distinct responsibilities and areas of expertise. Cantors specialize in the musical and liturgical elements of Jewish life and services, while Rabbis can have various areas of focus.

Do I need a Rabbi at my wedding?

Both Cantors and Rabbis are full members of Jewish clergy who are legally and halachically licensed to marry couples. Each brings unique strengths to a wedding ceremony. If the aesthetic musical component of the wedding is important to you, you will benefit more from working with a Cantor whose musical and liturgical leadership is an additional component of a Cantor’s portfolio. Ultimately, it’s important to meet with potential officiants to discuss your vision and expectations, and choose the person who best aligns with your needs and preferences.
