    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!

    Rabbi Elina Bykova's reply:

    Dear Kaite and Cory, thank you so much for your kind words. I was very happy to work for you and with you create your beautiful wedding ceremony. It was very easy to give you my best because you are a very nice couple, kind and respectful to each other, to the traditions and to me. May you be blessed with love and happiness for many years together. Mazal Tov!

    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 Elina Bykova's reply:

    Dear Jacinthe and Andy, thank you for giving me the opportunity to officiate your wedding and to see you so in love with each other, and your friends and family so happy for you! May God bless you with joy and happiness for many wonderful yours together!

    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.

    Rabbi for our wedding

    We had an interfaith LGBTQ wedding and Rabbi Bykova was integral to its success. She was professional thorough and very helpful with deadlines. Highly recommend

    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!

    Rabbi Elina Bykova's reply:

    Dear Sofia and Danylo, I am very happy you found me and gave my this opportunity to work with you on your ceremony and officiate your wedding. It was easy to work with you because you so nice. I enjoyed meeting your wonderful families and loved the venue. I wish you many years of happy life!

    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.

    Dear Maggie and Amit, thank you for your kind review. You are a beautiful couple and I wish you many years of love, partnership and happiness together! Thank you for the wedding pictures. Hope we meet again for another celebration! Mazal Tov!

    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 :)))

    Rabbi Elina Bykova's reply:

    Dear Halley and Mike, I am very happy I have met you and learned about you and your families. I was very happy to work for you and meet your needs. You belong to those nice people who I love working for and watching them being happy on their wedding day and through their life together. I wish you all the best and hope to have many more opportunities to wish you Mazal Tov!

    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.

    Dear Olivia and Giuseppe, thank you so much for your review! It was very nice working with you on your wedding ceremony.

It is a great responsibility to be called "the best rabbi in Montreal" :) I wish you many wonderful years of happy life together! Mazal Tov!
