We were excited to have him be part of our special day. After the wedding came and went, many friends and family raved about Spike Anderson's speech's and demeanor throughout the ceremony. They were fond of the way he led the ceremony, because he was able to keep it entertaining, and serious all at the same time.

After our first phone introduction with Rabbi Spike we knew we wanted him to marry us. He was so easy to talk to, we felt comfortable with him right from the start. Planning a wedding from 3000 miles away, like we did, is enough to drive most sane couples mad. Through all the craziness, Rabbi Spike not only managed to calm and reassure us, he repeatedly brought us back to why we were getting married in the first place. The ceremony itself was perfect in every way, thanks to Rabbi Spike. He spoke beautifully while creating the perfect balance of love and Jewish tradition and customs. Have a wonderful weekend and Shabbot Shalom!

We couldn't have been happier to have Rabbi Anderson with Stephen S. Wise Temple marry us. We had some initial reservations in doing the counseling but found him to be heartfelt, intelligent and full of enthusiasm. He was sincere and took great pride in his work and not only got to know us both, but spent time helping us to better understand our own feelings about religion with no judgment. He was full of wisdom, some of which we still use in our marriage today, 3 1/2 years later. The temple is committed to teaching Jewish traditions but with a modern day twist and we were honored to have such a passionate Rabbi, and friend, be a part of the next chapter in our lives.

Our wedding day was glorious. We felt prepared and organized from our preparation with Rabbi Anderson, and he delivered a truly personal and organic ceremony. All of the elements came together perfectly, with an appropriate balance of religion, family, and personal moments. The time spent getting to know us came through in his words and the ceremony was exactly what we envisioned and more.

Preparing for our wedding day, he brought tremendous meaning and joy to the Jewish wedding tradition. He not only wanted us to be partners for life, he wanted us to understand our vows and the whole tradition that is the Jewish wedding. He suggested a fabulous book so we could learn and decide what parts of the tradition we wanted to honor. Rabbi Anderson wanted us to understand the historical and sacred meaning of the Jewish wedding tradition. The signing of the Ketubah, through which he guided us, is a beautiful memory we still cherish. During the ceremony, he addressed our friends and family as if he too were a friend, someone who had known us for years. Our joy on our wedding day was made greater still by Rabbi Anderson.
