  Rabbi Elina Bykova's reply:

  Dear Andrew and Adam, thank you for reviewing my work with such nice words. You are the first couple who I did not have to ask for a review. How thoughtful and kind of you. I liked working with you and had great pleasure meeting your families before the wedding. Everything about your wedding was very tasteful and your personal vows moved me a lot. I wish you very happy life together full of love, laughter, adventure and care.

  Amazing service & beautiful ceremony!

  Rabbi Bykova allowed my partner and I to experience a Jewish/Ukrainian wedding, when no other rabbi would (as my partner isn’t jewish). From the start she was very kind, responsive and involved. She also allowed us to add our own mix to the style of the ceremony which felt so personal as she spoke in three different languages so all our guests could understand and allowed us to add our own personal traditions. The ceremony was everything we could imagine and more. Thank you Rabbi!

  Warm, professional, kind

  Rabbi Bykova, was such a pleasure to work with. I’m so happy she was the one to officiate our wedding. Everything was explained, & documents done in no time.
  We wanted to change up our ceremony a bit, & she was so open & accommodating to all of it. Thank you to her for marrying us :)))

  Best Rabbi in Montreal

  Rabbi Bykova is an excellent communicator and is very organized. My now husband and I had a great experience working with Elina and we would highly recommend her services.

  Thank you Rabbi Elina!

  Rabbi Elina was accepting and helpful. She made the process clear and she is very reliable. As an interfaith couple we appreciated her openness and advice for our ceremony.

  Accommodating for reformed Jewish couples

  I'm thrilled to share our positive experience with Rabbi Bykova. She graciously accommodated our religious wedding, seamlessly blending traditions in both Hebrew and English regardless of faith. The ceremony was perfectly timed, and her guidance was invaluable. I highly recommend her for a wonderful Reformed Jewish wedding experience.

  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.
