K was an absolute DREAM to work with! K was our marriage officiant, and she made everything easy for us. She was incredibly kind and thoughtful, while also being a gifted writer who was able to share my and my husband’s love for each other during the ceremony. She interviewed my husband and I separately to get our thoughts on our relationship, and then put together the most wonderful ceremony for us, using the same communication style we used. We had many people tell us it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they had heard. She included so many details about our relationship that were meaningful to us. She helped us decide on things like how we wanted to be announced at the end of the ceremony and other things we hadn’t even thought about, so all of the “smaller” details were special to us, too. The picture I'm including shows how much we enjoyed the ceremony she put together! On the administrative side, she walked us through how to get a marriage certificate, and after the wedding, handled sending it in for us. Also, when she had an emergency come up and wasn’t able to attend our rehearsal, she was insistent on lowering her fee, since we originally planned for her to be there. It was unnecessary, as we understood things happen, but she insisted. Just another example of how wonderful and fair a person she is to work with. I can’t imagine anyone else having made our ceremony as special for us as K did.

Rev. Elle Sojourner is a Certified Life Cycle Celebrant™, Teacher, and Author. As the owner of Spirit Fire Life Ceremonies, she crafts rituals and ceremonies for regular folks with extraordinary souls.

Elle delights in life’s joys, including her son, turtle, and dog. And she keeps her cup full with nature, music, laughter, and dance.

My husband and I were lucky enough to have our April 2024 wedding officiated by Elle at spirit fire life. As we are an interfaith couple; we wanted someone who would not mind incorporating spiritual beliefs into our ceremony keeping this in mind. We reached out to Elle a couple months ahead of our wedding and she encouraged us to set up a zoom call with her to figure out if she would be the right fit for wedding day. Well, we were so impressed from the start on everything that she brought to our call that we immediately emailed her following our discovery call to book her services. Throughout the process, Elle was kind, collaborative, and extremely professional. She was patient with us getting information to her and provided great resources to help us throughout the wedding planning process that I quite frankly never thought about. She continued to be a guiding light throughout our planning process and suggested we meet to talk through my thoughts regarding our unity ceremony. On our call she so eloquently stated something along the lines of: “sometimes it’s easier to have someone else make a decision for you when you are making so many of them.” As a result, I am positive our unity ceremony was perfectly executed thanks to Elle. She brought this level of poise and professionalism to our wedding ceremony and made our day even more wonderful than I ever could have anticipated! We are so grateful that we were able to have Elle as a member of our wedding day team.

While I had no connection with Rabbi Jeffrey Astrachan before the counseling/wedding planning process, I will now consider him family for life. From our first Zoom meeting together, he made my husband and I feel very comfortable and helped us navigate through the entire process. Though living far away, he was always just a text or email away and answered all our questions. He provided lots of options for customizing our ceremony with regard to the level of religiousness and incorporation of family traditions, and ensured smooth flow throughout the ceremony. He recommended a great ketubah website and also reviewed it for the English and Hebrew portions. He made a point to get to know us throughout the process and used that information to personalize his remarks. We had a large variation in the type of guests, ranging from non-Jews with very little religious exposure to a couple of guests much more observant, and all enjoyed the ceremony and Rabbi and appreciated the explanations he provided, as well as the personal touches he added. 100,000% would recommend to anybody looking for a Jewish or interfaith ceremony. Even if you've never met him before, you can feel at ease with Rabbi Jeffrey Astrachan, who will ensure you have a memorable and meaningful wedding.
