Testimonials
“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.”
“Cantor Shira Ginsburg was beyond amazing to work with! From the very beginning, she truly cared to get to know us and was understanding of our differences. We related very well to her suggestions and advice and helped us feel comfortable through the whole process. In the end, Cantor Shira put together the most stunning ceremony for our closest friends and family.”
“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.”
“Full disclosure, I have known Shira and her family for many years - then one day reached out to her to ask her for a favor. My father had received a terminal cancer diagnosis and what was my distant wedding date had rapidly accelerated. We needed to perform a ceremony in just 2 weeks, and Shira did not hesitate upon receiving my call, and we are all very glad that she didn’t. She truly made our special day, truly special. Her beautiful voice, from years as cantor in NYC & recording artist helped elevate spirts and make our quickly pulled together day, incredibly memorable. She led a wonderful ceremony that my family members still talk about and brought smiles to everyone in attendance despite the somber undertones of the day.”
“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!!”
“Cantor Shira Ginsburg was an absolute dream to work with! We knew she was the right officiant for us from the moment we first spoke with her, as she made us feel so at ease and it felt so natural to speak with her. She truly made the ceremony with her lively energy, jokes, and expert summary of our love for one another. Did I mention that she has the voice of an angel? Our guests couldn't stop raving about her. Thank you, Shira!”
“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”
“Shira helped make our wedding day joyful, smooth and memorable. Shira took the time to get to know us both through pre marital meetings, provided timelines for our wedding day to help us understand what was going on and was able to explain to family and friends the significance and meaning of our Ketubah in our private Ketubah signing. Shira made the ceremony interesting, engaging and filled with love, not to mention her voice is incredible! Shira helped bring our ceremony vision to life and we are grateful that we were able to have her marry us on our special day. I would HIGHLY recommend using Shira as your officiant/cantor for your wedding!”
