Weddings

Wedding ceremonies are seminal events for a bride and groom. Consequently, while basing the ceremony on tradition, Rabbi Tishkoff enables couples to customize many aspects of the ceremony according to their preferences be it adding alternative wedding blessings, having friends and family participate in the ceremony or writing their own Ketubah.
