Review from Ian & Miguel

"Rabbi Astrachan made our interfaith LGBTQ+ wedding ceremony such a profoundly memorable experience and I’m struggling to find the right words to make sure this review is written in a way that showcases how much it means to us. From our first virtual Zoom meeting to the goodbyes after the ceremony, it was evident that Rabbi Astrachan cared about us as a couple and making our ceremony meaningful, and his constant smile and calmness really made the entire process amazing."

"From the meetings, to the homework, and the help with making sure we had all the right ritual items, Rabbi Astrachan was a text, email, or phone/Zoom call away to help us make the ceremony unique for us as a couple. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would!"

"Thank you, Rabbi, for making our day so memorable, meaningful, and full of smiles and love. We will remember it for the rest of our lives!"

Review from Ann & Jennifer

"Having this wonderful man perform our ceremony was truly one of the best parts of the day!"

"I cannot possibly say enough good things about him. He paid attention to each of us, and captured details about our relationship that were completely unexpected yet felt like such a blessing. His warmth and humor and kindness are beyond measure. We never even considered having anyone else marry us, and we chose the date based on his schedule. He was literally the first wedding choice after I chose the person I wanted to marry."

Ordained in 1997 from the Cincinnati campus of the Reform Movement’s rabbinic seminary, the Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion, I have enjoyed the great privilege to officiate at hundreds of wedding ceremonies over the course of my career. Each ritual is uniquely crafted for the couple standing before me.

My blend of tradition & modernity, humor & solemnity, intimacy & professionalism make me the perfect officiant for your special day. I enjoy getting to know couples personally, always remembering that your wedding is filled with great joy, anticipation, and excitement. I love celebrating love and will happily work with all couples seeking my guidance, experience, and personal touch.
