    Intimate Wedding

    Rabbi Larry Schuval conducted a beautiful ceremony for our intimate wedding. While we did not want one that was too religious, he did a wonderful job incorporating this while making it just as meaningful. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a Rabbi.

    Rabbi Larry is the best!

    Rabbi Larry is a delight to deal with. His mellifluous voice and east manner makes him accepted and liked immediately. His ceremony was well laid out and a joy to be married in.

    Exactly what we wanted!

    Rabi Schuval was wonderful! We had a sunset beach wedding in Grand Cayman (the caribbean) and wanted some Jewish tradition, words of wisdom, and beautiful songs, but keep it light on the religious side. He understood our wish and delivered wonderfully. It was very personal as if he knew us a lifetime (we had just met once prior to the wedding) and I appreciated the sincere hug after the emotional ceremony! Thank you once again with this occasion Rabi!

    Wonderful Ceremony

    Rabbi Larry did a wonderful ceremony. We asked him to use non-traditional blessings that we found and he could not have delivered them any better. He arrived early and made sure everything ran smoothly. I would definitely recommend him, don't think about it you won't be disappointed.

    Rabbi Lawrence M Schuval's reply:

    Thank you for the beautiful review. Your wedding was very special and a joy to celebrate with you and your families and friends

    Best Rabbi We Could Have Dreamed of!

    My husband I are so happy that we chose Rabbi Larry for our wedding ceremony. During our whole planning process, Rabbi Larry was always available or a phone call and to offer guidance. As my husband and I are jewish, but not religious - we were able to customize our ceremony to include only the basic requirements with the Rabbi. During our ceremony, Rabbi Larry performed an unbelievable job. Rabbi Larry beautifully chanted prayers, explained the different aspects of a jewish wedding, and best of all - shared stories and details of what makes my husband and I such a perfect couple (such as how we met, when we first fell in love, what we love about each other, our family histories, etc). After the ceremony, our guests even asked us if Rabbi Larry had known us our whole lives! We cannot thank Rabbi Larry enough for delivering the most perfect ceremony we could have dreamed of!

    Rabbi Larry was an incredible, warm and caring officiant for our wedding.

    When we first met with Rabbi Larry we were blown away by his kindness and warmness, and walked away from our meeting feeling like we had known him our whole lives. We are an inter-faith couple, who was having a Jewish wedding, so it was important to us to find an officiant who understood our background and the home we wanted to create for our future family. The Rabbi did our wedding ceremony beautifully, explaining traditions to our non-Jewish guests and making everyone feel included. He listened to the stories we shared with him about our lives with each other and incorporated the same seamlessly into our wedding. Highly recommend!

    Rabbi Schuval was the absolute best. He listened to what our requests were and gave amazing advice. We were fortunate enough to have worked with him years prior. Rabbi is right to the point and knew when to make our guests laugh and cry. He was professional, kept in contact, and most importantly was very timely. The ceremony was short and sweet just as we wanted it to be. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

    We are so happy we found Rabbi Larry to officiate our wedding! We selected Rabbi Larry after having spoken to a number of other rabbis at length. Rabbi Larry has a warmth to him that resonated with us and was important to us in selecting a rabbi for our special day. Rabbi Larry was available to us prior to our wedding to discuss our vision for our ceremony and was willing to tailor the ceremony for us to make it unique. I love that he included our children in the ceremony during the blessing. Our family and friends commented on how intimate and beautiful the ceremony was. He also provided a gorgeous chuppah which was perfect for our garden wedding. I would highly recommend Rabbi Larry!

    We absolutely loved working with Rabbi Schuval for our destination wedding in Florida! We thought it would be hard to find someone to lead our ceremony in a lighthearted yet meaningful way that we wanted. However, as soon as we met with Rabbi Schuval, we knew he was a perfect fit. All of our guests enjoyed his witty and authentic delivery. He brought a personal touch and charm to our special day that we will always remember. Thank you!!

    Rabbi Larry was the warmest man from the day we first met him, all the way through our wedding. I knew within the first 15 minutes of sitting down with him, that he was the perfect guy for the job.

    He is the most humble, honest, sweet and warmest Rabbi. He has performed countless services and now we know why. Everyone who attended the wedding absolutely loved him. They thought he was so great.

    The ceremony was warm and meaningful. We met Rabbi Larry about 10 months ago. We tried to see him as often as we could and meet with him for questions instead of just emailing them. I really enjoyed this. It allowed us to get to know him and vice versa. He was so flexible with meeting with us on weekends.

    Something that Rabbi Larry does that most Rabbi's do not do - he will never book two events on the same day. Your event is the only one he will do. Why does this matter? Because he will never run late or get caught up somewhere else.

    I absolutely adore him and I can't wait for him to be a part of future events we have. He truly was amazing.

    Rabbi Larry is truly amazing! He was the officiant of our wedding that was held at the HIllsboro Club in Hillsboro Beach, FL on 11/1/14. Our wedding planner, Joni Scalzo had highly recommended him and from our first meeting up until the day of the wedding everything went smoothly and flawless! He was so easy to talk to and both my husband and I felt very comfortable and confident having him officiate our ceremony. We had an interfaith ceremony and I can't tell you how many people came up to me saying how beautiful our ceremony was! I would highly recommend Rabbi Larry!

    Rabbi Larry was the best! We had our wedding aboard a beautiful yacht on the intracoastal. The ceremony was on the top deck. Rabbi Larry brought the chupah and performed an awesome ceremony. The entire wedding was wonderful but the ceremony with Rabbi Larry truly was the best part. The yacht was cruising, the sunset was amazing and the beautiful prayers and thoughts from the rabbi made it something we'll always remember

    The officiating of the ceremony is the most important aspect of the wedding in my opinion. Mixing in the fact that the couple is holding an interfaith ceremony makes it even more important. Rabbi Schuval was so understanding of my wife's religion and culture and made the incorporation seamless. Everyone at my wedding commented on how wonderful the Rabbi was during the ceremony. He was able to bring two families together from completely different worlds in order to rejoice in our marriage.

    Dear Rabbi,
    Thank you so much for the wonderful ceremony you performed at our wedding. Thank you also for being so helpful and attentive in the weeks leading up to the wedding. You were right, everyone was so happy and felt included by your words. Our parents were pleased and our guests were happy to hear the ceremony in English, French, and Hebrew!

    Your ceremony, with your kind personality, warmth and joy made my dream of what my wedding day would be like, even better than I ever imagined. After, when when Franck and I talked about the ceremony, we remembered the smiles, our tears of joy, the laughter we all shared, and the uplifting feeling of it all.

    Thank you so much for giving us these moments that we will cherish forever.
    Sincerely,
    Truli Halpern Santha & Franck Santha

    Rabbi Schuval was an absolute delight in every way! From the moment we met him, all the way up to our wedding day he was responsive, helpful, and warm! Rabbi Schuval has a wonderful way of explaining Jewish rituals during the ceremony and the rich symbolism embedded within them, from the drinking of the wine, to the breaking of the glass, everyone felt welcomed and accepted. Our wedding was truly a dream come true for me and my new husband and we are so grateful we had to Rabbi Schuval as our officiant!!

    Rabbi Larry was very professional and always available for questions. We have received lots of compliments on our ceremony in content, pace, and length. He showed up early and because our wedding was his only for the night, we didn't feel pressured by him on timing -- he was on our schedule. Overall, we were very pleased!

    Rabbi, Thanks for being part of our special day!!

    We were very privileged to have Rabbi Larry officiate our wedding. He was very flexible and patient answering the many questions that we had. He responded to all inquiries in a timely manner and made us feel like we were very important to him. He was extremely helpful to us as we developed our interfaith ceremony. He worked with the Reverend to ensure that both of our religious backgrounds were represented perfectly.

    In addition to excellent assistance in planning and executing the wedding ceremony he was also a great resource that we reached out to for personal counsel. He took the time to get to know us and gave us sage advice that helped guide us through some trying times dealing with a very diverse, unique group of friends and family members. By the time our wedding day arrived, he was truly part of the family.

    Overall, it was wonderful to have him as part of our wedding. We highly recommend.

    I’m Jewish and my husband and his family are not so it was so important that we found someone to officiate who could balance between being religious and being accessible to everyone. When we met with Rabbi Larry, his lovely wife, and their sweet dogs we knew we had found the right man. Rabbi Larry’s ceremony was exactly what we wanted and people from all religious backgrounds told us they enjoyed the ceremony and found meaning in what Rabbi Larry said. I would highly recommend Rabbi Larry if you are having an interfaith wedding or otherwise- you will not be disappointed.
