“Unorthodox Celebrations was a super easy platform to work with and exactly what we were looking for. Neither my fiancé nor I are originally from the Bay Area where we are getting married, so we were not connected to any local rabbis. We were looking for a rabbi to officiate our wedding on a Saturday before sundown, and Unorthodox connected us to several great rabbis in the area who are comfortable with a ceremony before shabbat ends. We were really happy with the process, and not sure we would have found the right rabbi otherwise!”

“I reached out to Unorthodox Celebrations last year in hopes of finding a tutor and officiant for my son’s bar mitzvah service. As an intermarried couple who do not belong to a synagogue I was at a loss on where to start in the process and wanted to ensure that the service would meet our unique situation. Jackson got back to me within a couple of weeks to let me know that he was identifying prospective tutors in my area. Within a short time I had a list of over 10 names to follow up with and I was quickly able to connect with an officiant that met our needs. My son’s bar mitzvah (although it switched from in-person to virtual) went off without a hitch. I would definitely recommend Unorthodox Celebrations to anyone who is in a similar position- they really do provide a one of a kind resource to the extended Jewish Community!”

“When we reached out to Unorthodox Celebrations, we were looking for a Rabbi to lead our daughter’s baby-naming ceremony, and found Rabbi Getzel. We are so glad we did! Getzel took the time to meet with us in advance, provide us with different choices and features of a potential baby naming, and patiently answer our many questions. He was responsive, attentive to our preferences, and incredibly thoughtful in designing a ceremony that fit our needs. Our ceremony couldn’t have gone better.”

“For our wedding, we needed a rabbi who could be in New York City on Saturday night. We received a list of potential matches quickly and we found one that we really liked and who did a great job. Unorthodox Celebrations is a great resource if you are looking for a rabbi who isn’t already affiliated with a synagogue or who can meet your specific needs.”
