Weddings

I always feel particularly blessed to be invited to officiate at a wedding. It is one of the greatest joys of being a rabbi to bring two people together in the sanctified covenant of marriage. 

The wedding ceremonies I conduct are highly personalized and filled with great warmth, joy and deep meaning with the intention of helping to lift the couple to experience such spiritually elevated moments. 



"When I was a teenager, well before I knew my husband, I asked Rabbi Nesselson if she would one day officiate my wedding. Fourteen years later... " 

During our pre-wedding meetings, my attention and work are focused 
not only on the wedding ceremony, 
but also on the couple's preparation for marriage.

Traditional Weddings

A traditional Jewish wedding contains four deeply rooted traditional elements: A ketubah, or the wedding agreement; a chuppah, which symbolizes the creation of a new Jewish home; a ring, symbolizing the continuous, unbroken commitment of the couple to one another and; the recitation of the Sheva Berachot, the Seven Blessings. 



"Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day everything we hoped for and more"

Interfaith Couples

If you are an interfaith couple and intending to create a Jewish home and raise your children as Jews, then we can explore together available paths we might pursue.      


"You really understood our view of the wedding. You were so flexible and accommodating in meeting the unusual aspects of the situation..."
