“Rabbi Winer is kind, methodical, and charismatic. In the meetings we had leading up to the wedding he served as our trusted advisor and guide through the marriage process. He helped us customize our ceremony so it felt most like us while still representing traditional reform wedding customs. He was encouraging and supportive when it came to us writing our vows, and in the end our ceremony was absolutely perfect. His wife was our Kantor and she had a beautiful voice. Rabbi Winer was able to get to know us well in a short time and it really showed in his sermon. There was not a single dry eye in the room or on zoom. We are so lucky to have found both him and his wife for our wedding. If you want a wedding ceremony filled with love and laughter and beautiful harmony look no further than Rabbi Winer.”

“Rabbi Winer was great to work with. He co-officiated our wedding with a Reverend and was collaborative to include elements from Judaism and Christianity. Rabbi Winer was very responsive to communications before the wedding and had many phone calls with us to discuss ceremony options and planning and was supportive to us. We absolutely recommend Rabbi Winer!”

“When meeting with Rabbi Winer over the phone it was such a humble experience! He is a very down to earth individual. When it came time for the ceremony he did a wonderful job explaining the Jewish traditions and translating the Hebrew portions into English for everyone to understand. Our guests loved the ceremony and how well it flowed and it never seemed boring. I would absolutely recommend having Rabbi Winer officiate your wedding!”

“Rabbi Winer officiated our interfaith ceremony beside Father Oneto. They are friends and colleagues in faith leadership and their respect and care for each other was apparent to all who attended our ceremony. They truly made everything so special and every last person in the room felt welcome. If you’re looking for a Boston rabbi, look no further. Rabbi Winer is truly incredible, and aside from being an excellent rabbi, he’s also an excellent comedian with the sharpest wit in the room.”

“Rabbi Winer was wonderful to work with from the very start. My wife and I are both medical students with very busy schedules, and our wedding plans changed multiple times due to venue cancellations and pandemic concerns. Through all of the uncertainty and difficult schedules, Rabbi Winer was flexible, understanding, and supportive of our individual needs as well as our needs as an interfaith couple. We always looked forward to our pre-wedding meetings with him and we would recommend Rabbi Winer over and over again.”

“Rabbi Weiner, with the assistance of his wife Lori, conducted a beautiful wedding, seamlessly incorporating traditional Jewish rituals with personal requests that brought us the heartfelt clerical reunion in front of family and friends we had dreamed of. We celebrated a joyous, rabbinically blessed celebration. Rabbi Weiner’s pre-nuptial talks were easy yet spirited conversations that resulted in a very intimate and relaxed ceremonial consecration. My wife and I both felt we were very blessed to have had Rabbi Weiner officiate at our wedding.”

“Rabbi Winer helped create the most extraordinary day! He took the time to meet with us beforehand and get to know exactly what we were looking for, as well as getting to know us, to tailor our wedding perfectly. With his decades of experience, he was able to make suggestions and create a service we didn’t even dream could go so well. He has kept in contact offering advice and counselling to ensure our marriage is only growing stronger. His wife Lorraine even took part in our wedding as a cantor and helped brighten our day! Our guests have not stopped raving about him even over a year later. Thank you Rabbi Winer for such an amazing ceremony!!!.”

“We didn’t have an easy ask – I’m Jewish, my husband is not, I’m American, my husband is English – our guests literally came from around the world. Rabbi Winer was able to craft the perfect ceremony that spoke to us as a couple, our individual roots and also made everyone there feel included and valued. He was extremely attentive and kind, and took a lot of time to get to know us and brought such deep knowledge of the marriage ritual and process. We couldn’t have been in better hands, enjoyed the process with him to the full and are beyond happy with our special day. If we could do it again, we’d have Rabbi Winer there every time! We will be forever grateful to him and highly recommend him for anyone looking for a rabbi to officiate their wedding.”
