About Rabbi Andrea

About Rabbi Andrea and the life cycle event ceremonies she officiates

Rabbi Andrea Frank

A Wedding Couple's Personal Sentiments...

Rabbi Andrea was our wedding officiant. She is AWESOME! She traveled all the way to Canada to perform our ceremony. Rabbi Andrea made our dreams come true. We don't know what we would have done without her. All of our guests said how beautiful our ceremony was and that it was by far the best that they have seen. Our wedding day was so special and thanks to Rabbi Andrea we knew that we had nothing to worry about. She truly went out of her way to accommodate us and we are extremely appreciative of her. Rabbi Andrea is on the ball with everything and so kind and caring. She will double and triple check everything to make sure it is right. This is the Rabbi that you want for you special day. Thanks so much Rabbi Andrea.
You will forever be our Rabbi.
Our love,Alan and Rajka
