Interfaith wedding

We chose Rabbi Bykova to officiate our interfaith wedding after meeting her about one year in advance. She was kind, clear, and thorough with each step of the planning process with great communication. She did a wonderful job officiating our wedding and helped make it the best day of our lives so far! Thank you Rabbi :)

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 :)))

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!

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!

Attentive, reliable, caring, and incredibly knowledgeable!

Rabbi Bykova was amazing to work with. She made sure we understood every step of the paperwork and was quick to respond to any questions we had. She guided us in the structure of our wedding ceremony while still accommodating any requests we had or elements we wanted to include. It was truly the best day of our lives and Rabbi Bykova played a big role in it! Thank you for everything!

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.

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!
