Mazel tov on your upcoming wedding!
ALL COUPLES ARE WELCOME
If you are looking for a personalized, progressive Jewish ceremony rooted in our sacred texts and meaningful rituals, you have come to the right place! I happily officiate for interfaith and LGBTQ couples.
THE ROLE OF THE OFFICIANT
I see my role as officiant as bringing meaning, translation, and sensitivity to your ceremony. As we work together to craft your ceremony, I'll help you explore a variety of rituals and readings that speak to the marriage and home you want to create.
I work hard to ensure that everyone attending your wedding is able to appreciate the beauty in our traditions and understand the rituals and blessings that you have chosen to enrich your ceremony.
THE PROCESS
My fee includes:
A customized, personalized wedding ceremony that reflects you and the marriage you hope to create
A minimum of three 60-90 minute sessions, either in-person or on Zoom
Pre-marital counseling
Examples of progressive Jewish liturgy and readings
Wide selection of traditional and modern Jewish wedding music for you to explore
Consultations with your other vendors, as needed, to coordinate Jewish music, rituals, and ritual objects
Contact me to set up a time to talk about your ideal ceremony. I look forward to speaking with you!
TESTIMONIALS
ADRIENNE & ZACH
“From the moment we met Cantor Marx we knew he would be the one to marry us. He is kind, understanding and cares about us a couple and the commitment we are making to each other. He took the time to get to know us and who we were as a couple which meant a lot. As a Presbyterian woman marrying a Jewish man, it meant a lot to me to make sure that the Jewish traditions we incorporated into our ceremony were explained to those not of the same faith. Cantor Marx perfectly explained them during our ceremony and our guests are still raving about how awesome it was! Thank you Cantor Marx for making our day so special!”
NICOLE & ERIN
“Thank you, thank you, thank you! We got SO many compliments on the ceremony and specifically on your officiating. We had guests saying "it didn't even matter if we were Jewish or not, your officiant made everyone feel welcome." So many people told us how special the ceremony was and you were a large part of that. Your voice, your words, and your spirit were so incredibly wonderful.
BRETT & STACEY
“Cantor Marx was extremely welcoming and friendly from our first meeting and throughout the entire process. We had great conversations about what makes a successful marriage and he also did an excellent job of executing exactly what we wanted to be incorporated during our ceremony. We would highly recommend Cantor Marx to officiate your wedding.”
MONIKA & BEN
"Cantor Marx helped make our wedding day a wonderful experience for us and our guests. It was warm, welcoming, and wonderful. His communication prior to the ceremony was clear and helpful. We could not have picked a better person to officiate our wedding. Thank you Cantor Marx for a wonderful wedding day!"
TIM & BRYCE
"We are so lucky to have had Cantor Marx be a part of our special day! His modern, yet traditional style was perfect for our Jewish wedding as an interfaith couple. I couldn't be happier with how our ceremony played out, but our wonderful experience with Jamie started many months beforehand over the course of several skype chats. In addition to having him officiate our ceremony, we also did premarital counseling with a few extra conversations to go over any questions that we had. I can wholeheartedly recommend having Cantor Jamie Marx officiate your wedding, ours wouldn't have been the same without him."
