I am honored to provide wedding officiant and rabbinical services to the LGBTQ+ community. I am the only rabbi in Richmond who participates in VA Pridefest and my congregation Kehillah is an open and inclusive community with LGBTQ+ leadership. I respect you, the person you are marrying, and the pronouns you would like to be called.
As with all my weddings, you are 100% in charge. From Richmond courthouse elopement to a more formal ceremony, from religious to secular humanistic, your love is what matters most to me. So if you’re searching for LGBT+ wedding officiants or allies, I’m here to help!
Elopement Package
Instead of marrying at the courthouse steps, consider your home, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts or a park for your wedding ceremony.
Having your elopement at a place you love allows you to have beautiful pictures of your special moment, a free venue, and just a short walk or drive to the places where you can have a post-ceremony meal with friends and family.
- Your choice of a short religious, nondenominational or non-religious (secular) wedding ceremony — approximately five minutes long
- Use of a prayer shawl (tallit) for Jewish ceremony
- Ceremony takes place at your location
- Filing of your Virginia marriage license
- Optional marriage counseling ($85/session). Counseling can be done in-person or over Skype/Facetime
Elopement is only $350 deposit plus $125 for the ceremony. Couples can pay via check, cash or Venmo.
