"Working with CB was our absolute favorite aspects in all of our wedding planning. I could write novels on all of reasons why this was the case, but I'll attempt to keep it brief. CB provided such grounding in the process of marriage between my partner and I. They took the time to know us, understand us, and embrace all of that knowledge both before and during the ceremony. Our meetings with CB provided a jumping off point for deeper and more meaningful conversation between my partner and I. Together, we crafted a ceremony full of ritual, personal touches, and so much love. Every single person I talked to after our ceremony noted how touching and personal our ceremony was, and how uniquely "us" it was. Well, it would not have been "us" without CB. We often said that if nothing else would have gone right on our wedding day, that it wouldn't have mattered because we were so confident in CB and their ability to curate our ceremony."

"Rabbi Souther was an amazing officiant for our Seattle wedding. They guided us through an intentional process of preparation and got to know who we are as a couple to give us the best possible experience. The wedding ceremony was everything we wanted it to be, and we heard from guest after guest how amazing our officiant was. Rabbi Souther made us feel so comfortable and secure on the big day, and we highly recommend their services for your special events.”

"Working with Rabbi Souther was, hands down, one of the best decisions we made while preparing for our wedding celebration. In the weeks and months leading up to our wedding, pre-marital counseling sessions with Rabbi Souther offered invaluable opportunities to pause, reflect and feel grounded in our partnership, despite the flurry of wedding planning details and decisions... Rabbi Souther's calming nature allowed us to actually feel present in the moment during and after our ceremony. They truly exceeded our every hope, making us and our loved ones feel comfortable, inspired, and grounded throughout the wedding rituals. Since we had an interfaith wedding, it was important to us that everyone understand what we were doing and why throughout the ceremony, and Rabbi Souther did a truly artful job of providing that context... We could not recommend Rabbi Souther highly enough. We are so grateful to have worked with them as we prepared for our wedding, and we look forward to continuing to stay in touch!"

"We were so happy with CB as our guide for Jewish wedding ceremony. She did several different preparatory interviews to get to know us personally and explained all the ceremony details in great detail. We had a chance to learn a lot about the Jewish wedding ritual and adapt it to our own spirituality. She did a ceremony both in English and Hebrew and we even had a chance to add parts in our native Russian language.
During the ceremony everything was so well tuned and was happening exactly as it should be. All guests and us ourselves were mesmerized by the ritual and many happy tears were there that day.
I would strongly recommend CB to everyone who is in touch with Jewish culture and would like to make this day memorable and happy."

"In the chaos of wedding planning, worrying about which linens to choose, etc, there was a peace in coming to our sessions with C.B. that made us remember what our wedding and marriage was truly about. On our wedding day, C.B. was a calm, cool presence who handled the process with grace, from the Keturah signing (which turned out to be one of the most memorable parts of our wedding) to leading a truly beautiful ceremony. Countless guests approached us to tell us how beautiful and special it was. Even a few years later, friends and family continue to bring it up. C.B. is truly talented and a pleasure to work with."

"My wife and I first encountered Rabbi Souther while they were teaching a class on Jewish ritual. My wife was hooked at the first Harry Potter referance and when we walked into their office and saw Mary Oliver-I knew it was beshert. Rabbi Souther made sure our wedding process was filled with intention, joy and ritual that resonated with us and our communities. As a queer interfaith couple and as nb person I am so grateful to have had them as a safe anchor through our process!"

Rabbi Souther took the time to make sure our wedding service was personal and memorable. Guests and family alike approached us after letting us know how wonderful the ceremony was. We couldn't have hoped for a more beautiful wedding. Not only that they sing like a nightingale! They're so special to us and will always be a part of our family.
