“If you want a personalized, warm and creative ceremony Rabbi Melinda is the Rabbi you should have perform your ceremony! Yesterday my husband and I renewed our vows on our 50th wedding anniversary. Rabbi Melinda worked with us to make our event meaningful and special. We were so happy that we were lucky to have such a wonderful event. Thank you Rabbi!”

“I have to give Rabbi Melinda 5 stars! She was kind and considerate. She even made me a beautiful chuppa in a flash because the venue I was using didn't have any (and neither did I). She showed up promptly and ready to say the most beautiful words to my guests. She also spent a lot of time in the weeks before the wedding asking me what type of ceremony that I wanted and what kind of ketuba I wanted. She even met with my parents one night to include them in the process. Thank you Rabbi Melinda!”

“We weren't really sure where to start when we first met with Melinda, and she took control and walked us right through the ceremony planning, giving us plenty of options to figure out what we wanted. On the day of the wedding, she wore a beautiful white suit and had everything neatly organized on her tablet. The ceremony went flawlessly and everyone was just so touched with how intimate and beautiful it was. Highly recommend her!”

“Melinda was professional, funny and flexible. We had arranged to have a very small service on the beach in Del Ray. When we had to change the venue from the beach to the hospital chapel due to an illness with my father-in-law she was there bright and early. Everyone thought she was funny and professional and it was just what we had hoped for. We highly recommend Melinda.”

“My name is Vicki and my husband and I attended a wedding where Rabbi Melinda performed the service. When she first approached, it was if a beaitiful light was seen. The ceremony was wonderful as her words were from her heart and not read from prepared writings. It felt like she was part of the wedding as opposed to someone just officiating. I was so proud to see such a beautiful, kind and well spoken woman be the rabbi.”

“Melinda was perfect for our ceremony. We wanted a jewish wedding that our families could be a part of, held in our backyard. Melinda met with us prior, in a convenient location to get the details settled and to get an opportunity to personalize the ceremony for us. The day of the wedding, she showed up, chupa and all. The ceremony was short and sweet -- just what we were looking for and we couldn't have been happier. Melinda is vibrant, positive and exactly what we needed.”
