My wife and I are so glad we chose Rabbi Mayersohn to officiate our wedding. He did an amazing job with the ceremony, bringing just the right amounts of meaning, humor, and spirituality. We felt that his every word was genuine and from the heart, like he was truly on our team, pulling for our marriage and our life together. We received so many compliments from our friends - Jewish and non-Jewish - and several commented that it was their favorite ceremony that they'd ever seen performed. Also, our pre-marriage meetings with the rabbi were an absolute pleasure. He made us feel entirely at ease from the first hello to the big day, and was always available in between to answer any questions we had. We'd highly recommend Rabbi Mayersohn to officiate any wedding that has a Jewish component.
Sincerely,
David and Pilar

Marcela and I wanted to let you know that we thought you did an incredible job at our wedding.
The ceremony was beautiful, intimate and meaningful. You made us both feel relaxed and comfortable even though we had a few hiccups along the way.
Your ability to roll with the punches and laugh off problems with the music and lighting of the unity candle just added to the overall enjoyment of the ceremony.
We didn't get a chance to say good-bye so we wanted to express our deep thanks in writing and I hope you enjoyed the rest of your time on the boat and meeting our friends and family. If you ever need a reference, please count us in.

***IMPORTANT***
Whoever you select to officiate at your wedding, do be careful. Unfortunately, there are some people who call themselves "rabbi" but have little or no rabbinic education or training. To make sure you are celebrating your joyous and legal ceremony with someone who is truly a rabbi, ask where he or she was ordained. If the answer is something other than Hebrew Union College, the Reconsructionist Rabbinic College or the American Jewish University you may want to check more closely.
Just as we are all familiar with identity theft, sadly there are people pretending to be rabbis and stealing your trust. Make sure your rabbi is really a Rabbi!
