Robbi Ross did an amazing job. He was able to make both of our Jewish and Catholic families happy with the ceremony. He made everything very personal and made us feel as if he knew us forever. I highly recommend him.

Rabbi Ross was fantastic! We are an interfaith couple, and we were looking for an officiant who could help us design a ceremony that would address both sides, without offending either. Well Rabbi Ross's approach is to focus on what we have in common versus where we are different. Rabbi Ross is all about what the couple wants and making sure the ceremony reflects your personal desires.
The ceremony itself went great. He conducted a warm service, with humor and warmth. We actually got a ton of compliements on him, which I didn't expect. Perhaps on the expensive side, but I think totally worth it.
We met with Rabbi Ross at least 3 times the year before we got married, and he was willing to spend whatever time we needed to get the service right. He is a very warm person, and gives good advice to you if you need it!

We used both Rabbi Ross and Rev Deb for our interfaith ceremony. They did a great job and people still talk about how unique and personalized our ceremony was. My mom gave them and me a lot of grief and they diffused her pretty well. They made sure that the wedding was first about me and my husband and second for our families. My only complaint was that that are VERY expensive! I felt pressured into booking them very early or they threatened to get booked up by someone else. This is the only vendor I didn't walk away from when they pulled that and it is because my husband really wanted them. Otherwise, I probably would have walked away when they started to pressure me to make a quick decision. Overall, I think they did a great job but probably wouldn't use them again because I am not sure they are worth so much money.

Rabbi Ross specializes in interfaith marriages... I think he was almost suprised that we were both Jewish. He is very accepting of different faiths, cultures etc. His motto is "Never instead of, always in addition to." He has a sense of humor as well as compassion. A true New Yorker, Rabbi Ross spent a lot of time at ground zero with the workers and survivors of 911. Since he has studied and understands many different religions, he was able to pray and comfort people from many faiths. We really appreciated what he stood for, and he did a great job giving our wedding ceremony meaning. for us, he even kept to a pretty traditional jewish wedding!
