Beautiful fall wedding
Rabbi Eliana Bykova was a delight to work with ! We come from two different backgrounds (Lao buddhist bride and Jewish groom ) and wanted to have an “interfaith” Jewish wedding. She carefully listened to everything we wanted and helped us created the ceremony ! She was also very flexible with her time and had a lot of patience with us during the pandemic as our wedding date changed a few times. Very professional when it came to the marriage documents and patiently explaining to us every detail every step of the way ! We would highly recommend !
Thank you rabbi Elina Bykova for making this special day so memorable!
Rabbi Elina Bykova's reply:
Dear Natassia and Shawn, I was so happy to offer you my help and experience. I know how frustrating the last two years were for you with all the restrictions, changing of plans, wedding locations and dates. I am glad I was able to be there for you and give you the ceremony you liked. I wish you a very happy and long life together.
Also thank you for a wonderful wedding picture by Ginger Weddings.

Reliable, professional, personable..exactly what we were looking for!
Rabbi Bykova provided us with a clear program for our ceremony. Being a couple with different faiths, it was important for us to incorporate and respect both traditions. Rabbi Bykova provided us with examples of previous scripts which was very helpful and allowed us to create our very own ceremony that was perfect for our situation. Rabbi Bykova was available and very responsive, and made sure we did a run through of the ceremony prior to the wedding, which was really helpful and reassuring.
We would highly recommend Rabbi Bykova for any couple looking for a professional and reliable officiant.
Thank you Rabbi Bykova for being a part of our special day and making sure it ran smoothly!
Rabbi Elina Bykova's reply:
Dear Kayla, thank you for this wonderful review! I am very lucky to work for such nice people as you and Matthew. I am so happy you liked the ceremony. I wish you long and happy life together and hope we meet many more times for wonderful and happy events.

Very Accommodating and Helpful
Rabbi Bykova was responsive, helpful, and willing to work with us as we needed to make our wedding perfect. Could not have hoped for a better ceremony. It was everything we were hoping for and it could not have been done if not for the help and attentiveness of Rabbi Bykova.
