Our trio playing for a gorgeous Jewish wedding at Stone Brewery Liberty Station
Jewish weddings, parties, & life events are the absolute best - but maybe I'm a little bit biased since I'm Jewish! I know the stress of trying to find vendors when planning your wedding or celebration, and understand that it can be even more difficult trying to find vendors who know Jewish customs and history, so let me tell you a bit about me and what my groups can offer.
In terms of history in the community, my dad was a remarkable Rabbi, my mom continues to be very active in the Jewish community, and as a kid I was always up playing around on the Bima, running around Temple, and learning from my parents how to be an integral member of our community.
Through my teens, I was part of NFTY-SW in El Paso, was a song leader at Camp Swig (now Newman), and became and AEPi brother in college and an advisor for UCSD's chapter. I used to lead services at Hillel both at Cal Poly and later at UCSD when I moved down here. I also was very active in the young adult Jewish community of San Diego, a leader of the mighty tasty Cooking Cluster, and was on the Board of Directors of NextGen, where I planned massive community parties like the yearly bonfire Havdallah, the Purim Party, and Place2Be (sadly which no longer exist, so I'm told). I also led Birthright trips and absolutely love Israel!
I know Jewish traditions and music well, and my groups offer classical Jewish melodies like Dodi Li, Erev Shel Shoshanim, and Yedid Nefesh, along with many others. We can play Klezmer and upbeat styles too! If there is a favorite traditional Jewish song you want to hear walking down the isle, we can find it and make it special.
We will happily play in synagogues, at hotels, or in the vineyards, there are so many gorgeous places to get married in San Diego! If you want to check out some of our wedding venue suggestions, click here to go to our recommended and trusted venue lists!
Finally, I have made so many great connections in this town, if you want to find other wedding vendors who are highly knowledgeable on Jewish customs and events, I'm happy to help out!
Mazal tov on your engagement, lets get this party started!
