“Our Jewish and non-Jewish family members alike were raving about how fantastic the ceremony was. Your words, your presence, and the way you wove together our personal story with our traditions made the day unforgettable. [...] You brought a depth of warmth and spirituality that made our ceremony stand out and resonate with all our guests. It was clear that you put your heart into every aspect of the service, and your care and attention made all the difference.”
— Jacob & Allison, Brooklyn NY
“Our meetings with you have inspired us to think more deeply about the intertwining of our personal values, what’s unique about our relationship, and how we would like to continue to incorporate Judaism into our lives.”

“Rabbi Nikki was truly the best choice. My Bar Mitzvah would not have been the same without her. [...] She also worked with me beforehand, not only helping me understand more about my Torah portion but also opening the floor to me and collaborating with me on things I wanted to include in my service such as finding a way to incorporate my friends. She worked closely with me in writing and editing my D’var Torah to make changes that allowed me to create something magnificent that truly embodied what a D’var Torah should look like. Even after that, she worked with me and my parents through multiple group sessions. Overall, Rabbi Nikki was the best choice for my Bar Mitzvah. I am certain she will be the best choice for you.”
— Abraham, Bar Mitzvah, Harlem NYC
“From the moment my husband and I met Rabbi Nikki, we felt at ease and knew she was the only choice for us for our wedding. Nikki is understanding, easy to work with, non-judgmental, funny, and extremely smart. She understood what was important to us in our wedding ceremony and made it happen. She is very detail-oriented and takes the responsibility and honor of performing a wedding with all the seriousness that it deserves. Rabbi Nikki has been a constant in other lifecycle events, too.”
— Louise & Dan, Bronx NY
“Our ceremony helped members of our community to see us [an interfaith couple] clearly and to understand our queer love for one another with honesty, love, and acceptance. The value of the words and the message Rabbi Nikki imparted on our wedding day will stay with us forever. I especially appreciate all of the ways that Rabbi Nikki is willing to individualize life cycle ceremonies to fit the needs of the individual and make Judaism welcoming for all in this modern era. We could not recommend Rabbi Nikki more highly, and we look forward to growing as a couple under her teaching.”
— Tal & Morgan, Nahant MA
“We felt distinctly blessed to find Nikki as our rabbi. In meetings ahead of the wedding, she provided intellectual, spiritual, and emotional guidance, and worked with us to design a ceremony that honored and fulfilled our own connections to Judaism and to each other. We heard from a number of friends and relatives how moving the ceremony was—it doesn’t hurt that she has a great singing voice [...].”
— Will & Irina, Queens NY
“Rabbi Nikki was so supportive and wonderful through the entire process of planning our ceremony and Ketubah. Being queer and wanting a Jewish wedding- even though one of us was not Jewish- we were worried we would not be able to find a Rabbi willing to marry us. She had nothing but love and understanding for us, and that shined through in her beautifully written and thoughtful words on our magical day. ”
